Wow, when I left the farm in the 70s for college we were already banding the calves and hogs to prevent infections from cutting.

Nice Stockman.

Well, you know tradition!  Grandpa knife cut, dad knife cut, I knife cut.  We did and still do use disinfectant and in the dry country, I don't know that we've ever had an infection from castration.

Day 8 - this knife was my Grandpa's. I remember the Christmas when we gave it to him, probably around 1970.  After he passed away, Grandma said that I ought to have it.  It still takes a fantastic edge and could easily be my one and only knife.

I did not take into consideration the dryness for your area.  Yes, hot and humid most days in SW Michigan and the cattle always wondered about marsh/swamp areas along sides of the creek from the spring feed pond.

Had to wash down the cows before milking, making a muddy mess at edge of the approach apron. 

Those were the days!

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

EVERYONE should milk cows for a while.  It sure gives you a real appreciation for a gallon of milk in the store!  And getting slapped in the face by a wet and smurfy tail is an experience that some people haven't had, and it shows.

Day 11 - decided not to change and just keep the china Buck in my pocket.  I made the little card/front pocket wallet last year and really like the way it turned out and the way it is wearing in.  I used some oil tanned scrap from a local leather shop.

How does that Buck stack up quality wise Country?  It's a nice looking knife.

Well Barry, it's hard to sharpen and the blades are tight, so I guess it's okay.

I used to have that problem with Bucks when I was growing up.  I've had great luck with my 110, but I stay on it to keep it sharp.

I don't think the fit and finish is a nice as some of my previous black stockman Buck knives, but it still seems like a solid knife.  The blade steel seems just as hard as the USA made knives I've had in the past.
