Day 23

Sportsman wasn’t used today. I was at the dinner with the team so I took this picture. The team consists of young kids. When they saw me taking the picture they got quite excited about it


Hope this color matches

Just came across this club (not a member, myself).  Should probably be added to the list:

Taking my homebrew alox rambler for a spin. It’s no longer on my primary vehicle’s keys, but I swapped it on for the day.

Edged Tools / Re: Case Knives

« Last post by IMR4198 on Today at 07:56:12 PM »

   I bet that old Case was used to cut twist.  Tobacco is tough on knife blades.  I think a 6347 was the last Case Stockman that I ever owned.  I bought one for Dad.  He had to have stainless.  Unfortunately, he could never keep anything and next thing I knew he had sold it to someone.  I scouted around and found one more.  It cost $11 at the time.  Way less than list, but I knew a guy.  I told him that he couldn't sell it because it belonged to me.  Carry it.  Use it.  Can't sell it.  He agreed.  About the time he retired, he had started carrying a Vic Tinker some.  He said one of the guys at work (someone he always complained about) said he wanted Dad's Case when he retired.  I said, "No way does Jim get MY knife.  I already told you the deal."
    Dad's gone.  Case is gone.  I still have the Tinker.  Somehow I always felt like a jerk for taking the Case back.  Best wishes.  G

Day 23




New lighter day.  Just got this Douglas Field S fluid lighter from Japan, and really like all the finer details they have for this trench lighter.  It has o-ring for all the sealable places, including the spark wheel, wick, and fuel tank.  I won't call this waterproof but it seems quite rainproof as is.

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: What did you use your Sak on today?

« Last post by IMR4198 on Today at 05:34:27 PM »

    Noodle opening with Tinker.  Ordinary stuff.  I also used a Bijou to cut some strings off a pair of jeans from Goodwill.  Too exciting for a photo.  Don't want to over-stimulate anyone.  Don't you love clean $4.86 jeans that are already broken in?  Found a nice pair of khaki Dockers for the same price.  I looked in the goody cabinet up front.  I have bought 3 58mm Vics there for a buck apiece.  Also a nice Gerber EZ-out and an Ulu skinner.  Sold the Ulu.  Kept the others.  No knives today.  Best wishes.  G

Got a new gadget today, and usb-c cigeratte lighter.  All I need to do is to connect it to a power bank and press a button, the metal piece inside will glow red hot and ready to lit anything I place inside the ligther.
