Required a paper weight as updated calendar with grandson’s hockey schedule.
Conveniently at hand!
Day 10: Attack Rescue Survive/Alex Shunrrah Altoids Tin Knife. The company, I later learned, lied about the country of origin (China, not the US), and had a bad rep for it. However, it's a decent little knife, quite sturdy for its small size. The design flaw is that one, it won't fit in an Altoids tin with the sheath on (which, if I recall correctly, was aftermarket when Blue Ridge Knives bought up the remaining stock and distributed to dealers), and it came with a paracord wrap handle that kept it from locking in the sheath. I've used this little sucker a lot. Today, I used it to open up some Sam's Club boxes from an order delivered today. I used a Clauss Floral knife to peel an apple. We have them everywhere. My grandmother and I like them as kitchen knives, and they work great as steak and paring knives (albeit, my favorite steak knife is still the Victorinox serrated paring knife). I have them in toolboxes and tackleboxes. A box of a dozen is usually under $20--which is a steal given they are German-made. They hold a decent edge, and are pretty easy to resharpen due to being so thin. (Image removed from quote.)

Two razor style folders to fill the rasolino corner of my folder stash.Artisan Cutlery Orthodox razor in satin and United Cutlery Black Ronin Razor.The Orthodox is what I was looking for. The BR Razor was bit of a spur of the moment due to the nice looking blade despite the end ring which should've warned me. As it turns out it really is more of a 'tactical cleaver' than rasolino so I am not certain of its usefullnes to me. Maybe I'll just drop it into the pocket of outdoor working trousers at the proper moment and see how that goes.In any case both seem well made for the price so can't really complain. A new knife is always a new knife eh? Lähetetty minun SM-T515 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
Nice grab. And....Bucks were made to be used....
Day 10Back to the ATK, which cut open a dog treat for Fisher.(Image removed from quote.)
Day 10(Image removed from quote.)Today's offering is another small 'un, damascus blade and mammoth ivory handle.
Most are not too heavily weighted and the balance is near perfect for me(balance point lay somewhere between index and middle finger on the handle).
BOTM Woodsman opens tea packets in the afternoon, tea or coffee in afternoon is a real life saver.
Finally! As a knife collector/enthusiast. I could kind of see the appeal in getting the 'tactical cleaver' for the fun of it. I think with Medford coming onto the scene, it did broaden the spectrum and now even carrying a 1lb folding knife as an EDC is a casual thing.True. I think I like most their 'traditional' fixed blade offering, maybe even more than their 'traditional' folding knives. Most are not too heavily weighted and the balance is near perfect for me(balance point lay somewhere between index and middle finger on the handle).

Dried bacon on bone? What a treat!

Day 10This is a Western model 677 that my father bought before deploying to Arctic Survival School in 1957.
A tale or 2 Morakniv ProS. The good looking one is mine, the gnarly chewed up one belongs to my nephew.
