Nothing special today, cut up some boxes that once held diapers. Carbon-bladed Opinel 8 to the rescue.

Day 3

Case Sowbelly in jigged "Bermuda green" bone. Close up because I was trying to capture the nice color.

(Image removed from quote.)

That really is gorgeous.  I don't have a local store for pocket knives, so I have to go by the pictures I see online.  I have never even considered that color, and I now realize that's because I've obviously never seen a picture that does it justice until now.

Again the navaja-type cheapo (I'm getting more and more ashamed to post this when I look at the other entries here...).
 :facepalm:

This time a little close up of the handle. Like I said, cheap bakelite or another plastic material. The hues are pretty, though, and change according to the angle light shines on them.

 8)  I like it!!!!!  :cheers: :cheers:

Day 3
I need to disclose a small fact here, I've been having back trouble for a couple of weeks. As of yesterday evening it is officially not working. (I like to never got up off the couch)
Without meds I'm not moving very fast, so there won't be any pictures of a pocket knife in use around power tools or much of any project.
Probably won't be moving enough to use it some days.
So with the devils permission I would like to stay in the challenge anyway. The pic may be nothing but the knife on my little storage box or on the table next to it before it goes in my pocket.  I'm going to try to get a picture posted come smurf or high water.

Today it's a Queen Cutlery # 9SB

I bought my original #9 not long after the new owners took over. Some of those first knives were being made with springs left over from the old owners & some of them were suffering from broken springs. The spring broke last year so Queen sent me this as a replacement.

Hmmm🤔

Has the knife been in your pocket on the given day? Yes
Have you posted a pic of it? Of any discription? Yes
Is there a problem? Hell no!

Kirky approved :salute:

 :cheers: :cheers:

Case 62031 LHR from 1984 today.   Originally was a part of a "junk lot" my grandfather bought (and was ripped off by the guy that sold them to him (due to many being in such poor condition, when they were supposed to be better), apparently) back in the early '90s.  From 2006 until today, many of that junk lot would find its way into my collection and EDC. I traded my grandfather a Skeletool for this knife back in the spring.  It was made by Camillus for Case right up until Camillus went bankrupt.

Thanks to SAK Guy, Gareth, and NutSAK for your kind comments on my green sowbelly; I had a hard time getting it to turn out that nice because all the light reflecting off the blade. These traditionals look great in photos, but pose their own challenges as the bolsters make the camera want to underexpose the rest of the knife, plus it's harder to keep myself out of the reflection. :)

Day 4

Case Copperhead. I can't remember what the handles were called on this one. Half stops on both blades though, makes me close it with one hand much more confidently. :tu:

May it be as the Pattern has chosen.

Case Copperhead. I can't remember what the handles were called on this one.

(Image removed from quote.)

What's the first number stamped on the tang? That will tell you. For example, my mini Trapper is a 3207. The first number is the handle material (3=Derlin),  the second is the number of blades, and the next two/three is the model number.


I wonder what I'll carry tomorrow? :think:

I know what I'm going with, just finished giving it a touch up and a bit of oil..... ;)

Decision made.  Happened to have my Rough Rider white bone Canoe sitting out and I grabbed it earlier this morning.  Quickly put into use opening up the packaging on a new vacuum cleaner that got delivered.

Cheers mate.  I got this one many years ago now when Rough Riders first hit the UK shelves and no-one could believe how good they were and how little they cost.
