As I just got this late yesterday and haven't had a chance to carry or tote it yet...

but the weather is GREAT so it will be soon.

Blade: 7.5"
Handle: 5.2"
Steel: SAE-1070 High Carbon Steel
Weight: 1 lb. 1.8 oz.
One-Piece Steel Construction

Sunday carry ...
Northwoods Indian River Jack
Natural smooth bone, 154CM
Simplicity with a decisive feel of usefulness
Fidget factor not included
Although idle thumb rubbing in pocket permitted
... on case by case basis
Made for Northwoods by Queen Cutlery

Also Sunday ... and speaking of spear point
VICTORINOX. Only one tool and they call it ... SOLO
Makes sense in theory
"Solo" isn't a very Swiss sounding word though ... like Chocolate
But who names a knife "Chocolate" anyway? ... nobody
So there's that I guess

A brace of custom scalded Sheepdog XLs

I am really liking those knives, the more and more I look at them. I didn't realize how big they are. How well do they hold an edge?

These things after a stropping are hair poppingly sharp.
There’s been discussion & charts on bladeforums comparing 154cm to S30v.
Stating that 154cm is close but just shy of S30v in edge retention.
I keep everything stropped after a days carry (if it’s been used) so I honestly don’t notice it much.
I just ordered a custom set of contoured g10 scales & a lanyard backspacer from Tony dnt3 on Instagram.
He’s in the Czech Republic and is going to be making them this week.
I’ll post up pics when they arrive.
Looks like I’ll be buying a 3rd Sheepdog XL



Do a quick google search of 154cm versus S30v and you can go from there.

Picked up a new Shiro and a new bead for a fob.
Will be carrying off and on till the honeymoon phase is over.

Stag Peanut
Dunno, prolly pretty lonely always being stag

New one arrived today.

Sun will soon be coming up on Tuesday morning

What does the rooster say?

Guess this knife used to belong to Chuck Buck

^^^ Well, you better give it back to him.

I just checked, and it looks like your too late:

I would just like to thank Mr eTripper for posting pics of his Off Grid knives. I ordered a Rapid Fire coyote because of his pictures and just received it. A very solid knife for a reasonable price. I’m a ZT guy usually and daily carry a 350ts and 770. While the Off Grid is a large blade, it fills a void I’ve been looking for in a bug out bag. Very solid blade and I’m quite happy with it. Thanks again Mr eTripper!
P.S.. Grumpy has me contemplating which Sheep Dog to order... damn you guys and your great pictures!!

Thanks for the acknowledgement, Oak! I appreciate it. Your right, its very hard to beat the Off Grid Rapid Fire models, for under $85 bucks. The Cold Steel AD-10 made-the-cut for today's lift along with my Helm watch.

For today it’s the ZT 0560.
Just love this knife. Wish they hadn’t discontinued it.

Ruana non-catalog "Vic's Blade"
More about it in the Ruana thread ...

It's very late or very early.
I never know for sure. Not good with time I guess.

Anyway, this Buck 110 Red Bone Damascus is keeping me company.

Damascus gives the 110 a different sound on lockup from a regular production 420HC 110.

How can I describe it?

Damascus: Twing ... Regular production: Ding
Yep, Twing and Ding ... but say it with a deep resonating voice.
