handle is broke right above the emblem at the first pin. Lots of patena, other than that looks like it was never sharpened. All the blades look to
me 100% Looks just like the one I had in 1957 or so. Long pull Camillus
underlined all in capital letters, then says NEW YORK USA, I'm sure its
Derlin, but cut like Rogers Bone, I'll try to get a picture up this evening
after I come out of the barn and get through with my chores. Which should be before the knife show tonight.

hey JJ just picked up a swell center camillus 3 blade whittler, I know they are pretty common, except was kind of excited about this one, has
the Boy Scouts of American emblem on it. What do you think, I only give
50 cents for it, Hope I didn't get hurt LOL

JJ... Go here! I wish we both had one!

JJ... I'm sorry to hear that you're all crippled up. I have a bad right knee that has the maniscus missing, and a bad left hip. Authritic shoulders and a titanium heart valce. I go in tomorrow for jaw bone removal and reconstruction and all new teeth. At least I'll be able to bite Ain't Donna.
My first car was a 1941 surplus army jeep. I was 9 years old and didn't NEED brakes, thank you. I was immortal. My second was a 1935 Ford pickup flathead V8. It was so much more powerful than the Jeep. It had mechanical brakes, but it had BRAKES! I was wiping with the top leaves. The last pickup I had was a 51 F-1. It was that olive drab color. Remember that? I really want a 53 to 56 F-100 street rod. I've always wanted one.
I see that I'm really getting too old and inactive to get anything new. I guess maybe they will bury me in my old 95 Taurus SE. They'll have to drain quite a bit of gas out of it, though. I've already filled it up once this year. It's a good old car, and I've never had to replace anything on it but the plugs, the oil and the tires and the fanbelt. Hacku'va good old car!
I was reading on Pickup.com the other day that Ford and GM are going to use the same diesel engine in their heavy duty pickups. It'll be called the Dura-Max. I feel so dirty just telling you that. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/03/gm-and-ford-to-announce-powermax-diesel-partnership.html
Although it may have been an april fool's joke. Interesting reading, though...

Thanks for the welcome. Glad to be here.
:-)

J. J.,
I'll probably have some S. GA peaches in the next couple of weeks...would be happy to send you some pits.
Frank

Sorry, JJ> Yes, I did see the excellent custom paint job you did on your truck. Sorry for not commenting earlier. I want one :)

Hi J.J.,
Thanks for the welcome. I'm sure that my grandson will enjoy our new hobby; that is, if Pop doesn't take over! Gotta git me some peach pits now...hate to admit it, but S.C. peaches are superior to Georgia's.
Regards,
Frank

Hey JJ
Thanks for keeping your eye on things while I was at Blade Show. I appreciate it mucho!

Hey J.J, I am not sure what kind of wood this is. The piece of wood I used on the first two that I carved were out of the same piece of wood. That particular wood made excellent carving material, however, the knife in the picture that you commented on was a piece of wood I found on the side of the road. It was extremely difficult to carve with and I will never use that again. Also, I took that video down because it was messed up. I will remake the video and let you know when I get it posted. I am thinking of getting me a spruce 2x4 and trim it down into small pieces for carving, however, I am unsure how it will carve. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Hey, Uncle Wiskers...
How about I trade you a nice Cadillac for that knife. You go ahead and get it in the mail, and I'll call the Caddy dealer in your home town and set it up so you can just sigh for it.

Hey, Uncle Whiskers...
So good of you to stop by and say hi. I can tell right now that this is going to be more fun than watching a barn board warp.

We're gonna' have to go into negotiations for that "Red River Valley Knife Assn. 2003 Seahorsie that you have. I have the world's largest collection of Seahorsies, and that one needs to come live with the rest of it's brothers and sisters.
