That sounds like a good fix

I would just work the middle part, to the same angle than the rest, so that you don't loose any material on the edge itself. If that makes sense  :salute:


Thanks, fellas.  :cheers:

I think that some edge is going to be lost.....

Day 16

The 301 on cigar duty again.

It’s one of my favorite trads to take camping or on the road, because I have a high level of confidence that it can handle just about anything that might reasonably be asked of a pocketknife, while remaining easy and inexpensive to replace if it gets lost or damaged.

Day 17


Today, I'm trying something different.  Since I don't like pocket knives riding low and heavy in my pocket, I decided to pick one up that has a pocket clip.

Unfortunately thumb studs and or pocket clips are outside the lines for what is considered traditional  for the challenge.

Day 17:

Another Lambsfoot from A. Wright & Son. This one, fresh out of the box, got used to pull a splinter out of my wrist.

I really like this knife; I get the sense it will see some pocket time. A few gripes: the edge is so-so and needs some work, and it is a bear to open. I think it is the geometry, not necessarily the spring tension/strength. Hope fully it breaks in a bit. Regardless, I really like it!  :tu:

 :woohoo:     :tu:   Most A Wright Lambsfoot have a stout pull.

Wait, I take that back.  I'll finish up the day with a knife that I am pretty sure I wont like carrying around (due to its size).  Here's the 3rd knife I ordered this month - an Opinel No 6.

Opinel N.06, together with one of my grandfather knives.
I remember he's using this one between 1985-1988.

Day 17
The Buck 388 toothpick and 385 mini toothpick usually come as a set in a nice gift tin.  Check out Wal-Mart around Christmas.  That's when I got these two a few years ago.  I think they offer the same set with a different handle material every year. The mini is especially sharp.  I mean it is scary sharp to the point that I suspect black magic might have been involved. >:D  The Mont Blanc pen does not come with the knives though.

:like: I hope you'll like it, too. And it's now your turn to be the enabler...I like the oak! :pok:

Day 17

When I received this one (it was a surprise gift), I had a minor freak-out and sent it to a knife mechanic so he could out new covers on it. He said there was no evidence of outgassing whatsoever and it would be a shame to alter such a beautiful old knife. So this little Schrade retains its celluloid covers. I don't use it much, but I do keep an eye on it. Seems stable thus far.

Last of my I.XL knives.  This one isn't too small and is well made.  A little over sharpened in it's life before me, but still very useable.

@SAK GUY - Beautiful Harness Jack.

If I remember correctly, a good portion of your collection was lost due to a fire, and are these excellent examples of Jacks and traditionals are  survivors or new acquisitions? 
Between yours, David’s and Steve’s examples there are so much history of pocket carry…

@ Gareth - luv the scales on the White penknife. I would prefer to see a USER knife, yet do enjoy the pristine examples shared as well. 😜

Another great day to admire pocket knifes and share our enjoyment of little things sharp with Dean watching over our shoulders👍
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!
