After 10 days of awesomeness, I know Dean would yet show us great classics with a story for each model exhibited.  :hatsoff:
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 10 (Chicken throw-down response!):





While the Wharncliffe did the job, I wasn't thrilled by the way the knife and I worked together. The fine tip was brilliant at getting into joints, but I felt the flat edge made it a bit difficult to make trimming cuts on the cutting board. Before slipping it into my pocket today, I did touch the edge up on a fine stone, followed by a stropping. Despite that, the edge didn't feel razor sharp. The edge was 'tacky' to the touch, but it felt a bit sluggish in action. It may be the case that I'm still experiencing the factory edge and that will improve with time and sharpening. (I'll probably give it a little love tomorrow.) It might also be that I was just a bit off my game today....  :dunno:







The factory edge on mine was super rough, I smoothed out the grind lines with a diamond stone and then sharpenned it up on the Turnbox. It's now hair popping sharp   :tu:

RR Ramshorn Half Whittler.  Great little knife this one.  The amount of "spring" you get opening the small blade can make it jump in your hand if you're not looking out for it.  Very useful for getting at recent purchases.   :D

Sweet knife  :dd:

Day 11

Switching today to the Handyman Club of America Canoe.  It's a nice user knife at a very low price.  These are still selling for under $12.00 on E-bay including shipping!  They are made in China and are the same quality as the RR or Frosts or Marbles knives.  Quite a bargain if you ask me.

I really like that bottom knife.  It reminds me of a pocket knife my dad had when I was very young - black, cigar shaped, with silver ends.  I wish I knew what kind if knife it was.

Day 11


Speaking of my dad, here is an unusual pocket knife that he had.  I don't know when or where he got it, but it's probably from the 80's or 90's.  It probably doesn't qualify as a "traditional pocket knife", so the actual pocket anchor I'm carrying today is peeking in  ;)

Day 11

I was inspired by Adam and McStitchy to show this knife (in fact, it was once in the former's possession). It's a 2014 Case Sod Buster Jr, pattern 6137. The Sod Buster Jr is one of my favorite Case patterns, so much so that you'll be seeing another tomorrow.
