All About Pocket Knives

Lost this boker 10 days ago while fishing over at my dads rock quarry. Went back today and found it

And you caught a fish! Good work.

Glad you found it!
I believe I have same Treebrand congress, it's an easy knife to carry. Mine gets some pocket time every couple of weeks.
Did you catch enough bass for supper?

I did. That was the goal

She cleaned up

Nice bass, that size makes for tasty filets.

Good job cleaning up the knife!

I have a Shapleigh fishing knife that I discovered had rusted up badly while stored in my wooden machinists chest.

I will post a thread over in the Schrade channel as I think that is who made the knife.

South central Tn like Washington county? Like shortys?

Congratulations! I am so glad that you found yours. That knife looks like a one should - like a user.
My Father-in-Law gave me a Boker congress that he had worn half out. I often carry it on Sundays and think of him.

Bokers are hard to beat for a edc. Glad you found it before the rust got too bad!

Glad you found it, and a delicious fish.

After cleaning a Rainbow trout, I left a Case XX 6383 on a rock in the Tellico River about 1976. I always hoped that someone found it before the river got up and washed it away.

It is nice that you have a knife that you often use. It is even better that
you found it after a loss!

Nice "re-find" and cleanup on that one!

Finding a long-lost knife (that cleaned up quite nicely) and catching a good quantity of fish...that's a successful day!

So the patina looks great! I love a nice finish like that on my carbon steel blades ... ..And to think I am spending a bunch of time mixing up mustard and vinegar solutions into a paste to apply on the blades to get a sweet patina like that and all I had to do was go fishing... ... What was I thinking? ...
