I didn't have my camera with me today, but I used the Svord Peasant mini to take a cutting from my roses and prepare it for planting.  Here's a glamor shot that will have to suffice.

I studied the photo very carefully..... Don't think that qualifies as a cobbler, crisp, or crumble....

Dang,,,,, thought I might slip that one by you.

Yep,the clock is running. Have to get it done this weekend.

@ Comis and Steve - two beautiful knives.

The information I have learned from this forum renewed my spark to search for simple slip joints, pocket knives, multitools, and other SHARP tools.
Armed with information shared, allows me to be aware when a treasure is found, and yet contain my excitement to strike a reasonable deal.
My two such purchases would likely have slipped through my grasp if not for this simple challenge, a Case Jr Scout and a Electrician Knife without a bail. Both located at a Florida Flea market, separate vendors.   I never knew Cade made a Scout, until (iirc) Spartan shared his! Even though I was not looking for that model, I just knew!   Same for the Wood handled Electrician, it was different, no bail, no holes for one. And in very good condition.

Tree brand barlow today.  Starting with the few barlow they have released over the last couple of years, I felt Boker has genuinely up their game in traditional/modern traditional.

Case Half Whittler in Smooth Antique Bone covers.  8)  One of my more recent Case knives and, quite honestly, it's a doozy.  Really nothing that I don't like about this one.

Day 28

Today I'm switching back to a smaller knife, a Buck 385 Toothpick.  I have been wanting one of these for a long time, but I refused to buy a new one since Buck now makes this model in China.  Since I couldn't find a USA made 385 in the condition and price that I liked, I just decided to try a new one.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that it seems just as well made as my other Bucks... maybe it's just made with inferior steel.  :dunno:  I guess time will tell.   :tu:

I hear you.  The quality as I can tell does not lack on the 3xx series Bucks.  I have 3, Canoes 389 models.   1 was part of a Christmas Tin, another marked down to $8 at Walmart, and the third from Buck directly with wood scales. All three received sharp, blades centered and solid construction. The wood grain on the last is very pretty to me.

I have two more Canoes arriving from other makers and will see how they stack up to my Buck models.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

I'm glad to keep hearing good things about the 3xx Bucks.  I had a Stockman from that range years ago and I was underwhelmed to say the least.  I can only assume I got a stinker or that the quality has gotten much better.  :)

My Canoes from Buck are not recent purchases, maybe last one was 4 years ago, the others a bit older. 
Yet, I have found that any Buck I have bought, has been excellent.

 :oops: My last indulgence!  :facepalm: This month :whistle:
I had to return the CASE Swayback, for quality control issues and elected not to replace it as the pattern was just to small for my hands.

Since the funds applied to the CC and had been paid, I found a few trinkets I desired, slipcases of varying sizes, a couple of Canoes and 2 GI Jack knives ($7) because I liked simplicity.  And qualified for free s/h so free.

A Queen and Rough Ryder Canoe. The packaging was as impressive as the intial inspection of the knives😜

Really no more packages on the way :rofl:
Anyways, my expenditures for July exceeded my income, yet not by much, and vacation account will cover travel dinners so I may actually be in the black by a $ or two!
