Nice Red and Blur jelly scales guys for Spartan Saturday.  :like:

And that's a fine looking Opinel Barry. How do you get along with it? I've always been curious about the locking collar.

Afraid I had a day clay shooting so I took a few more layers but always good to check in here.

Great to see you Phil!  Thanks, it's a great knife. It's as sharp as you could ask for, and that collar is solid when it's locked.  I can open and close it one handed with no problem and it's a joy to use.  I have a few Tour de France editions in my collection.  They're a joy to carry and use.
Clays are always fun!

Tony, I actually carried a Spartan today as I was weedwhacking and cutting some tree limbs with lopping shears and a saw.  Couldn't even feel it in my pocket.  I didn't carry the pretty one in my test photo.  Used a scuffed up one.  It is lots of work to scuff up and break a new one in good, and who needs the extra work?  Best wishes and have a nice weekend awl.  Gary

Yup, swapping out that back scale was touch and go but made it  :facepalm:

Like to see some pix of it, Tony.  It took me a while to figure out how to take a photo with a Pixel 6a and get it on the web.  Looks like I did it.  Now if I could only remember what I did.....?  Best wishes G

Once upon a time I didn't like the transparent deal, but I am getting in the ABS groove now.  Is ABS the right word, or is that antilock braking system?  I don't think I have ever held a serrated SAK.  Might have to look around.  Best wishes G :drool:

Tasky alerted us to a great deal on those serrated Spartans last year and a bunch of us bought them.

Nice wood, Fast Bill!

Nice.  Have you tried to cut with it?  I haven't had much luck with the half serrated blades with the really aggressive teeth.  That Spartan looks like it would work better for most uses.  Nothing like a site where your friends tell you a great bargain is located.  Best wishes. Gary
   P.S.  I just noticed that I am now a Full Member of this fun place.  I will do my best to honor its legacy and treat everyone with respect and the same fellowship that I have been shown.  G

The site Tasky mentioned ran out long ago I think but those serrated Spartans are around at various shops online.  You can try Hamilton Marine.  They have a really low price but not sure what shipping costs are.  The blade cuts well.  It's a nice Spartan to take to the park with some bread and cheese (and perhaps wine).

Hamilton Marine has them on sale.  They have 45 of them and closing them out at $20.79 each.  I think I have enough Spartans.  You got to stop somewhere, right?  I didn't check on shipping cost.  Here they are, MTo.  Best wishes. Gary

Thanks Bunk. I've really grown to love wood scales. I would prefer T&T but you can't have everything I guess. And a Weekender would be nice one day too .. :dd:
