The OFG's Pocket Knife

Post about everything from carrying a handkerchief to manly skills (sharpening a pocket knife, etc), to product reviews of items that may have slipped inder our radar (ie Grandpa's Pine Tar soap). No threads on anything 'new' unless it hearkens to old-fashioned sensibilities and ideals.

First time I saw on of these, it had the saw cut slabs and I thought the blade tip had been broken. then I found out that design is very old and with smooth bone....WOW!

Very nice

I was in the office yesterday, and I carried my Stainless Spyderco Man-Bug. It slim and fits well in my office pants. I will be in the office tomorrow too, but am doing a property viewing, so I will be in Jeans, so my knife of the day will be my new Case Texas Jack or the Western Barlow. Either way the knife I have with me will see some duty cutting open packages and bags and boxes and then cutting tape to re-seal all thos boxes bags and packages. Busy day for the pocket knife.

Today I am at my work from home desk and I have several knives at my fingertips to cut what ever needs cutting...

Just a few...I think tomorrow its going to be time to put the Western Barlow thru the paces.

The Super Tinker

I’m in the office all day and wearing stretchy pants, so my desk knife suits me. It needs cleaning. Desk drawers are nasty places for a knife. It’s full of gunk.

Yer not gonna be batoning firewood or quartering a deer with that little victorinox, but let's be honest, it's the perfect edc for most of us these days, when we need only open boxes, remove staples, and clean our fingernails. All of us except Jo that is. He's no sissy boi desk jockey.

Do any of you use this hook on a Swiss Army knife?

I fidget with it a lot, but I can’t say I purposefully use it for anything.

Me? No. But that might just mean that I'm not creative enough.
