This is going to be a must follow for me, especially since everything Fuzzbucket writes my brain reads it as John Cleese

Fuzzcase Day 1 - With the Old BreedFor this challenge I'll be mostly using Jack's Texas Jack (again, a very kind prezzie from Nix), hopefully other Case knives will make an appearance from time to time too.I'm planning on having a rather civilised sort of day reading and drinking coffee. Although, I'll be doing some cooking later on, so there may well be some foodie type pics to follow. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Day 1The contestants are basically all Case knifes I own (three). They are all quite different in size, pattern etc.- 6.5 BoneStag Mini Trapper 6.5297W SS ...a present from Nix that got me started on traditional folders - Amber Bone Peach Seed Jig Sod Buster Jr 6137 SS ... bought off Fuzzy's hands - Dark Red Bone Smooth Barlow 62009 1/2 SSI'll be using the Mini Trapper today and take it on a little hike So far it helped preparing a sandwich.That clip point is a great slicer...
Funny, I bought that book for my Kindle about a year ago. Still haven't read it. I think my Kindle is the place books go to moulder away.......
Nice pic for day 1 Fuzzy
Nice start
Thanks, and it was a compliment to your sense of humor for sure
I bought that along with Leckie's Helmet for my Pillow a couple of years ago and only read bits, but what I did read was excellent - which is not a surprise as they're both considered two of the best books on the subject. I'm determined to read them properly. Another book, which is astonishing good, is George MacDonald Fraser's first hand account of the Burma Campaign - Quartered Safe Out Here... Possibly one of the best books I've ever read.
Nice! About a decade ago I did some deep reading on the CBI theatre. (Actually went to the U.S. national archives and read some original reports from the CBI theatre.) That was a fascinating part of the war, often under appreciated, in my view.
Outstanding!
That would have been a great idea too The book looks interesting. I didn't see that HBO series either. I surely don't know much about the war in the Pacific.
Oooooh, lovely views. Hot and dry here, so that awl looks quite refreshing.
Day 1 - bonusHere's an observation I've made with my Case knifes. The edge they're putting onto the blades is quite rough/toothy.Depending on what you plan to use the knife for this can be a bit annoying.On a positive side though it can be used as a wood saw in a pinch (Image removed from quote.)The little hike we've done was nice although we've got a bit wet.(Image removed from quote.)Rain over Glenngarriff...(Image removed from quote.)Case Mini Trapper enjoying the view anyway...(Image removed from quote.)
I saw it when it first came out and it was excellent... I mean like smurfing excellent, although extremely brutal, much more so than Band of Brothers. It's an absolute must see though, but I'd have a stiff drink ready.
Very nice!
Great knife and great scenery
