    Review: Great Eastern Cutlery Small Jack #25


    In the 80s and early 90s a veritable legion of American cutlery companies died out. They were making traditional patterns when Spyderco and Benchmade and KAI USA were booming. Their two handed knives with the same old same old steels weren’t selling well. Sure, Case, with its perpetual fan base, and Queen were surviving, but many companies died or more accurately were zombified remains of what they once were. Schrade, United Cutlery, and many others, facing extinction, sold their intellectual property and their name to an overseas company and shut down their American plants. These knives, into the future, would be made overseas.

    This wiped a lot of the old guard, centered around upstate New York and Pennsylvania, specificially Titusville. There were a lot of companies gone,

    Unusual uses for a pocket knife

    Yesterday, we had an early dinner at a Chinese restaurant. My wife couldn't open her fortune cookie. She gave it to me. I couldn't get the damn thing opened either. Out came the pocket knife ........... ain't life great?

    I'm obsessed with small pocket knives lately. Probably because it takes me back to my youth.

    I used to be a master at Mumbly Peg.

    If you say the same .......... then we should have a shootout!

    But first, I'd have to go get me a good Mumbly Peg knife. They have to be almost made for it, in balance, etc.


    Speaking of which -- this is an art I need to teach my 11 yr old grandson. My DIL will ban me from the house for sure.

    Two things I vividly remember ----------- always looking for the perfect patch of soil

    and always arguing over the rules

    LOL

    Got 2 new folders for the collection.

    Victorinox Farmer and the Opinel #8 stainless





    I wanted the Farmer for a long time as an addition to my bushcraft kit. Should be a real winner in that category. Made in Switzerland.

    I've heard lots of good stuff about Opinel. The design is from the late 1800's and it locks open/closed with a twist of the collar. Scary sharp outta the box. Nice wooden handle. And inexpensive. The stainless is $15 on amazon. They make a carbon steel version for $13. Made in Inor's favorite country: France. Very impressed.
