Day 29.
Code4. My back up at work.

Good looking knife!   

Penultimate Fuzz Day 29

My first pocket knife given to me when I was about five. It was a hot sunny summer's day and I was eating my lunchtime piece (sandwich) sitting on the bench outside the back door probably with my legs dangling over the edge gently kicking back and forth. My mum, who must have been watching me from the kitchen window, came out with a clenched fist and asked me if I wanted this? After my initial flight or flight response had settled, I realised I wasn't in trouble and that she was infact smiling. In compliance to her request I outstretched my little hand and she plopped this shiney blue object into it. It was her pocket knife from when she was a little girl, given to her by my grandfather. In that moment I considered it to be unquestionably the greatest possession in my tiny known world.

What a special knife. Glad you still have it.    .

That's amazing! Both that you kept the knife and can remember the giving of it. That's a wonderful story.

Cold Steel Golden Eye, yo.

I like the look of that Cold Steel. I've tried a few Cold Steel knives and never really found one that I gelled with. I had a Voyager Tanto that I liked, but I gave it away.   That Golden Eye looks like it might work for me, though.

Day 29

A lot of the old Company's that made or had made and sold knives were called Cutlery Company's. That's because they also made or had made and sold straight razors, scissors, table and flat ware and other edged tools. Here is a pair of Case XX scissors and a Union Cutlery Co (Ka-Bar) straight razor.

Inpired by PFRSANTO's post about Klecker's knife, here is a folding I found pretty interesting.  Made by WE knives, Double Helix operates similar to an axis lock from BM, except the spring tension is provided by the clever coil design at the back.

Glad to be of help. Pretty cool lock!

 

A little more info on it:

Day 29
A knife gifted to me by a workmate who knows I like knives , the Buffalo River Maxim . Big solid jobby, opens smooth and good and grippy G10 for scummy  conditions .

You have a workmate called Buffalo River Maxim?! Cool name!

 

The knife is not so bad, either...

Day 29: Back to basics. An old Victorinox single blade grafter. Haven't seen one in SAKWiki. I can try to get some better photos, if you want to add it.

DAY 28 Bonus
Well... thanks to one of you (and you know who you are), I am going to end up with a CASE knives collection.  Here are my first two... and that lockback is really light and comfortable (and a dang handsome knife!)  I thought the chestnut lockback was a wood scaled knife but it turns out it has chestnut stained bone scales.

A 2019 CASE 61749L (Chestnut Bone Smooth Mini Copperlock) and a 2013 CASE 6318 (Old Red Bone Medium Stockman).   I always like having a small folder paired with my larger fixed blades that I take on trips with me, and I can already tell some CASE knives are going to replace some of the other folders in those sheaths.  Tractor Supply has another smaller, blue jigged bone version Stockman I noticed that will probably be my next purchase.  I was torn between the blue one and this red one today.

Those are lovely Crafty

The large and the small workhorse...
Leatherman Surge and Rebar.

[Ron Who]

Wow! That Spydie is 

 

Thanks. I wanted the full sized one actually, but it was discontinued and is rather unaffordable on the second hand market. The micro version was expensive too but still within budget
