Good morning INGO.

Going to try and get a load of wood cut for myself today and split. That should get me a few more weeks much longer if the weather stays above 40 degrees. This 50 degree weather is crazy in February. I'll take it though. Much cheaper to stay warm.

I've been spending more time in the darkroom lately. One of the things I've been having fun with is finding old negatives to print. Some have turned out quite nice given the age and lack of care the negatives have had. This is a shot from about 1988 while I was working at UAL on the widebody overhaul line. We were bringing a Flying Tigers 747 freighter into the dock that night. This was shot at about 3am or so.

I'm happy with how well it came out in a frame.

I can see why you’re happy about the way it turned out! That looks amazing!! Very nicely done!!

My much loved Kershaw Leek broke (user induced abused). The question I wrestle with is to replace it with a Leek or a Civivi Elementum?

I have the Leek as my EDC and it’s great. But I’ve always wanted the Benchmade Emissary. It’s similar profile to the Leek but not quite as small and thin. It’s discontinued now but there are still a few to be found.

Replace this with a CZ!
Then later just pick up another Leek, but not as a replacement, just as a new knife. Introduce it to the CZ one evening and the three of you have a good time and a few laughs while enjoying a little rye and sending late night texts to H45.

Can I get a link to that $60 CZ? The rest sounds good except H45 goes to bed at like 7:30.... ;-)

Morning all!

Does the Randall knife have a Heiser sheath? I see those sold by Heiser collectors and they always have Randall knives in them.

I believe the older ones are Heiser. They then when to Johnson (?) and, last I knew, Sullivan in Orlando made them.

....but that is probably very incomplete information. Mine is from the late 80's so would be a Sullivan....I think.

The looks of the Leek never caught my eye and the straight edge makes me think "boxcutter".

My current favorite EDC is the Benchmade Mini Bugout at 1.5 oz. I have both the white and carbon fiber versions.

I like to think of this as my gentleman’s knife.

Y’all are going the wrong way in price point. lol

Except [mention]Born2vette [/mention] , I have no idea what direction he is heading.

Which Boker ?

I have two Boker Kalashnikovs, one mini Kalashnikov, and a Strike. The Strike is what I carry most. The Strike, one Kalashnikov, and the mini all have red blades.

 

[mcapo]

Those Randall's are nice, but it's hard to stick that one in your pocket !
Is that really yours ? If so, you've been sandbagging us !!!

Ready for the BBQ.

Yea.....I should have started with a $3.99 gas station pocket knife and then sought advice herein.

I am not a big must carry a knife all the time and most of mine are simple pocket knives (think Boy Scouts or Swiss Army). The only ‘nice’ one i own is this (because I got a good deal on it and it was cheap). Not the best but serves its purpose.

Or just go get a Stanley mini pry bar if you are breaking knife blades.
