Day 24Decided to carry the Aitor Gran Capitan today.It opened a box containing a new knife.It also opened a couple snacks
But there gummy’s not beef bites? So watermelon gummy’s with a coating of chili?JR
Aitor is probably my favorite "B tier" brand. Great multis.
Have a Pumpkin cameo.
I was a little disappointed (both clip and saw) in the Scout as well
The other two have no idea what to call them.
Lunch time
Day 25Speaking of can openers, here's FRED, the smurfing Ridiculous Eating Device Field Ration Eating Device. Mine is made in China, but they were designed for the Australian military. Just enough spoon to eat with, small/flat enough to fit in a wallet, and a solid bottle/can opener. I suppose the back end could probably make it as a light scraper/pryer/flathead if it had to. I've dabbled with trying to put a (very slight) edge on one side. Not enough to be a "knife" just enough to help it open a box or badly cut a donut or something in portions. It's a nice compliment when I'm carrying a basic folder, and I probably use the emergency spoon 2 or 3 times a year. Kind of reminds me of (but tastes better than) the wooden ice cream spoons one of you mentioned a few days back.
Day 25Tonight trash and recycle bins go to the street. Several card board boxes needed to be cut down, and the only knife in my pocket is my grey Ozark. And just like a SAK it was sharp right up to the point it was not. Tried a stropping, but no, the edge was requiring more grit. Ten boxes, is the limit, and task was completed by my garage utility blade. Picture is after, and the. Made edge returned to hair shaving (arm hair😉) sharp. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] This the most SAK-a-like knife steel I have, both this Grey and the RED OZARKs performed identical with exception of the scissors. The Camillus crossout and Case Scout Jr both have better steel. For the models that I enjoyed carrying so far. I have resisted buying additional models 😯. But did catch myself looking yesterday at a Sportsman’s Warehouse. No Gerbers Armbar on the pegboard. So close..,
I went out to the car yesterday around 6:30 am to discover that our neighborhood black bear took an interest in our trash can again I gathered up what he scattered and discovered later he bent the shepherd's pole pam has the hummingbird feeder on. It's been awhile since we've been visited
Gotcha. The older I get, the more gotchas I get. ~~~ By the way, they sold those bolsterless blue Camillus knives as a Boy Scout Utility Knife. As opposed to an Official Boy Scout Knife. There was a Cub version as well with the Cub toolset and liner locks. Yours was a second, so it didn't get the stamped on scout emblem. Best wishes. G
Day 25Used my first knife to open popsicle
Fantastic to see you still have it, special memories for sure
