      Anytime Seul, my pleasure

      In the meantime…been carrying my Northwoods Stockman in a Buckaroo pouch...

      You loop it around your belt and let it hang into your pocket…or out if you're working with it

      Looks so damn awesome with jeans

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          I should have some cell cam pics up later. The memory card in my camera bought the farm and I've been too damn busy to buy a new one…

                      Nice Seul

                      The only thing I don't like about back pocket carry is that I worry about 1) the knife falling out of my back pocket depending on how I'm sititng and 2) I prefer to put the knife on the other side of the pocket for comfort, but I run the risk of the blade opening up and cutting me when I stick my hand in that pocket

                      If you look at my SR's though, you can tell I've thrown caution to the wind

                        I only wear it clipped to me backpocket at work (I'm always walking/ standing up, so it's safe). At home/ out I clip it to my right front pocket or the chestpocket of my shirt.

                          Yeah, I find that if I stick my knife in my front pocket on fitted jeans, my knife will jab me in the bawls

                            When I'm on inspections though, I always put it in the back pocket. It's just easier to get to when I'm crouching/bent over/crawling

                              The Mnandi looks so beautiful as well - but why oh why is there only a thumbnail recess opening on it and no button!..  😞

                                You can still open it with one hand. Look on Youtube

                                It's not a traditional nail nick

                                  Birthday gift from Jody

                                  Seriously old school. Carbon steel. Thick ass stag. The tip of the blade is so pointy my crappy phone cam couldn't capture it.

                                  It's a Scagel themed knife. From the website if was purchased on about Bill Scagel:

                                  "Born in a snowed-in Michigan cabin during the winter of 1873, Bill Scagel was "officially" Canadian but always considered himself Canadian-American. He was, before making knives, a sheet-metal worker, building metal boats prior to forging blades in earnest. Known for his wrought ironwork, his sailing prowess and his pride in exotic flower gardening, Scagel also was a gunsmith, a machinist and a builder of bridges.

                                  Scagel's most productive years as a knifemaker began around 1910. After a fire wiped out his place in Muskegon, he settled on an acre of land in Fruitport, which became the wellspring of most of the incomparable Scagel-made knives we know today – from small 25-cent parers to full-on 25-dollar Bowies.

                                  Perhaps owing to his Scottish heritage, the reclusive Scagel designed and built his own machining and forging equipment, wasting little. For many years his shop was powered by a gasoline engine salvaged from a 1926 Cadillac -- his way of stiffing the local electric company.

                                  The man's frugality was reflected in his knives, particularly the handles. In one sense a scavenger's delight, Scagel made handles from what he had -- leather, bone, fiber, antler, brass -- but they were undeniably utilitarian, designed to complement the blades to which they were mated. The now-classic lines of Scagel's blades and his quirkily beautiful handles were beside the point, because the man built complete edged tools, made to be worked hard.

                                  Bill Scagel died in 1963, about a year after he'd stopped producing knives. His 52 years of craftsmanship survives in the hands of dedicated collectors, and although it's accurate to refer to Bill Scagel as an artist, a master of 20th-Century American cutlery or "The Father of the Custom Knife," indeed the best nod to his legacy is to recognize it and carry it on."

                                    These are my two favorite knives out of my collection right now, my Elk ridge fixed blade and my Kershaw.  I love the beautiful wood handle of the Elk ridge, and the shape and feel of it, but hate the die cut elk in the middle of it, but whatever.  I use the Kershaw everyday and it could use a good cleaning.

                                        Love to be part of the Sebenza family. Fuck me it's a great knife!.. But how do you sharpen it?.. I have a Japanese sharpening stone but it doesn't do much - or maybe I'm doing it wrong?..

                                            I have this'un or one very much like this:

                                            http://www.boker.de/us/knife-sharpener/09KE183.html

                                            I probably should take more time sharpening it… Can you harm your knife at all in the process?..
