Someone asked me to take a comparison phot of a few two or three of my fixed blades.  One thing led to another.  I'm sure I missed about a dozen or so but what the heck. Seems like a good time to show off some fixed blades.

Chuck, those Ulster BSA knives were quite popular. That's a nice one you have. WOW 10 knives in a week, sounds like you are having fun. Save some money for the Ohio Classic - see you there.

Yes Ron, that will make 10 in one week. The only time I've ever scorred more was when I boght a box of 25 knives at a pawn shop once but they were all used. I've been very fortunate and thank the Lord above for my good fortune. I'll be posting quite a few pics next weekend after the mailman lugs home my cache.

Chuck, that is an awesome example of a really great pattern! And, it looks to be in great shape, too! So, that Boy Scout knife coupled with the 9 new knives you ordered will make 10 new knives for you in just this past week? You are on a roll, my friend!

Congratulations on this windfall of new knives! It just goes to show that having a job and friends is a very good thing! lol

Happy Sunday, my friend!

I just received my very first official B.S.A. knife. At leats as an adult. It was given today by a friend of mine when I got to church this morning. What a friend indeed. He's already given me a Klein Electrician's knife.

Tobias, you forgot to mention that those cans were made of steel. Jim

Back in the day they sold soda-pop and beer and over beverages in cans with out pull tops.  I think you can still buy juice and Hawaiian Punch in two quart cans that require a can opener in order to open them.  But a long time ago a church key was essential if you wanted to punch a hole in the top of can safely.

If you're too young to remember them, these are Church Keys.

Back in the day Knife makers also looked for ways to put a church key on a knife.  Several companies developed a church key that folded along the spine of the knife.  The really cool ones are the toothpick style fish knives. (Still trying to buy one but they don't show up, often)   For now, I've had to settle for Providence Cutlery Company   Church key pen knife. Overall closed length is 3 inches.  Perfect for the key chain.

It brings me back to the early 1960s growing up around Cocoa Beach, Florida.

Steve, I have thought about that, trying to transplant the mushrooms. Just I have no idea, what to do. Do you have any ideas?

I live in southeastern PA near what the locals call The Mushroom Capitol Of The World.  Probably isn't so, but with mushroom houses everywhere I don't have to go in the woods to find em.
