Couldn't use my camera on this one because it's hot and humid, the lens fogged up when I took it outside. So my phone had to do. That wood still looks nice though!(Image removed from quote.)Just absolutely beautiful wood. Show content

Lesson for the day.No more wood comments around this bunch.
Traditional Challenge Day 10#73 Great Eastern Cutlery Northfield Scout Single Blade Trapper, w/carbon blade & Blood Red Bone scalesToday I have my #73, with the infamous "bear trap" backspring. I used it for some food prep last night and decided to slip it into my pocket this morning. The drop-point blade is useful for a large variety of tasks and, though it is one of my larger slipjoints, the thin, single-blade profile makes it comfortable to carry even in slacks. It is a great camping/outdoors knife, and there's no need for a blade lock here.

I have been carrying the Case Mini Trapper today. It performed great! (Image removed from quote.)
Dug out the knife I've owned the longest for today, an Opinel No. 7 carbon that must be nearly 30 years old.Crappy pic, sorry.

If you slip your camera into a zip lock bag and let it warm up to the ambient outside temp a bit, it won't fog when you take it out of the bag. It fogged because it's in the colder house and moving out into the hot humid air. If it's in the bag...the moisture will condense on the outside of the bag.We had to do this to protect cameras when shooting a winter football games/events and then going inside to shoot candids at the press conference or outside the locker room. Having an extra camera, wrapped and sealed in a bag next to a hand warmer (in an outside pocket) allowed you to shoot inside immediately. I used to hear that the NFL photogs had gear stowed inside the equipment rooms to cover everything inside. This was back in the 70's/80's.
Nice one. A three-spring Case Stockman? That's a new one to me. The only three-spring ones I own are Bucks.

The #47 doesn't exist in as many families as the #18. I actually don't have any of the two spring ones, but I like the extra room you get in the three spring version. Less likelihood of blade rub.
