Sam.I do not have many ToughTools(relatively for a collector). The Pat. Pend is worth saving, as those are kind of rare to come by. I think I can make a shelf queen out of it with a few hours of careful restoration. Hopefully anyway. And if I can't make it a gem, I'll gift it to someone on MT.o.
Lets get this going...Day 1An unboxing.This is a new Taylor ST1NB that I bought some time ago and just never got arround to messing with.
Good luck to everyone! This will be an interesting challenge to watch! For. Anyone that's looking for one, I spotted this! I think it's a really great price! It's a old school USA made model. Good luck!https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163518432506
Day -1Warm up(Image removed from quote.)
Day 1My one and only, bought new when they were first out, U.S. made Pat Pending, with the partially serrated blade which I've been told they don't all have
Day 1:Used the TT to carry a lamp that I just sprayed with a base coat for a bronze finish I am going to apply. (Image removed from quote.)And a shot at the old wagon wheel. (Image removed from quote.)

Thanks GLBM, I rarely use the main blade except for very fine or delicate stuff, it's just not very stout, the large serrated blade on the other hand is a beast, I've even used it as an improvised saw more than a few times in addition to everyday knife duties

A little wire cutting for Day 1(Image removed from quote.)Well really it was more like chewing through than cutting.I'm glad it was just #12THHN not anything larger.

How does this tool compare size wise to a PST?
Day2Cutting light cardstockAnybody who has seen a 30d of mine knows this is a daily task for me.The blade didnt want to start but once it did it pulled through with light fethering of the cut edge. As you can see by the fuzz and that lint ball there are some dull spots in the factory edgeThough truth be told this stuff is so fibrous even the best blades have trouble cutting it cleanly.
