Day 7

A french bayonet brought back from the great war by I believe my Great Grandpa on my mothers side,  dated 1877. The William Rodgers was given to me for my 8th birthday.

Maybe someone who can read french can tell me what it says   :dunno:

(Image removed from quote.)


Can you write the inscription? It's not very clear. From what I gathered, it might be a reference to a church, St. Etienne du Mont, in Paris, or the name of the sword's owner: Monsieur ... de St. Etienne ... 1877

Day 7: A handmade folder. The design, I believe, is from Portugal or Spain (or both). It's called Bandida (Bandit). It's from a portuguese knife maker, Joaquim Maria Jorge. Wood handles, brass bolsters. Very ergonomic and a great slicer.

Day 07:

No pricking for me today...but...before today's thunderstorm rolled in I was able to inspect the pea shoots and thin the beets. I'm trying to train the peas to climb up a trellis and not bully the other veggies. A Fiddleback Forge Kephart helped to snip some of those creeping tendrils that were heading for trouble.

Same here. Pretty much the "man card" around here is a hawkbill. If you've worked in the coalmines, chances are, you've got one.   I have a few, from my Granddad (worked in and around the mining industry for nearly 30 years), gifts from friends (all miners), bought new and used. Granddad gave me an old beat up one he'd used as his work EDC, and I discovered how great they were. They'll cut almost as well as a serrated knife (and in some cases, better), while being easier to sharpen.

Gonna have to get one of those. As of late, I have noticed the traditional European "pruner" blade shape is a bit more effective than our less drastic "hawkbill" shape seen in the USA.  I, however, don't like the handle shape of most of those have. This couples the hawbill handle shape (and shackle/bail) with the better blade shape of a traditional European pruning knife.
I would agree the pruning blades are the best for pruning and ringing cables/wires where you don't accidentally want to dig in with the point of the hawkbill.  I love the hawkbills for cutting into containers and where cutting through tough thread materials is required.  The fine point in that profile is just common sense ergonomics on some tasks.  I think for today I'm going to drag out some of the hawkbills I have.

Day 7
Today is a pair of Iridescent Kershaws -  Leek and Chive.

These knives were my first foray into both assisted opening and flippers.  I fell in love with the flipper action, but eventually realized that I preferred not to have the assisted opening, which is probably a good thing since the way some state laws are written they can and have been considered the same as switchblades/automatic and therefore illegal to carry.  These are also the the knives that led me to look at Zero Tolerance when wanting a hard use knife.

The Chive was a steady pocket companion for several years.  It was just the perfect non-intimidating knife for public.  However, it also had the downfall that it was easy to forget about.  And forgetting about it is what I did before one work trip.  I forgot all about having the Chive in my pants pocket when I left to go to the airport.  Surprisingly and fortunately, the Chive did not set off the metal detectors at the airport.  I did not realize that I had the Chive in my pocket until mid flight.  It caused some internal anxiety of would happen if discovered, but nothing more.  I made sure before the flight back that I dropped it in the mail to myself so I didn’t forget it again.  That same Chive has gone through a couple of metal detector wandings at entertainment venues (where policies were not advertised ahead) as well without ever being detected.

I think those are some Kershaw's best folders.  I've got two of each of the different sizes from the Chive up to the Shallot in SS finish (mostly because they weren't an inner liner type and were solid scale/liner lock, and it looks like yours are built the same).   I carried the Scallion as an EDC for a very long time.  My favorite is probably the Leek just because it is so easy to sharpen compared to the other recurved blades of the other three.    Top to bottom: Chive, Scallion, Leek, and Shallot.  I traded off some of the others I had (like olive drab, that had an inner liner lock in exchange for these solid scaled versions).  Just personal preference. Those iridescent scales sure are pertty!
