The Score! Great Outdoors Edition

[Legion]

Free is a score right? Found this old fulton barlow pocket knife in an attic of an old house yesterday. Pretty crusty but I got alot of the active rust off and the blades moving with some elbow grease.

Did you get this cleaned up?

Did you get this cleaned up?

Sorta. Oiled and scrubbed it to death and got most of the rust off. It does open and close now. I'm not sure I am up for taking it fully apart lol. Still need to do some polishing and sharpening but at least the rust is stopped. It was still semi sharp. I'm still tempted to try electrolysis on it lol. Sorry I missed your post!

Got a Glock FM78 knife, and a Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110, Forgotten Weapons edition.

I already had a Glock FM81, but the 78 is what I really wanted all along; they're just so hard to find.

I went with the Forgotten Weapons puukko because it was a few dollars cheaper than the standard version. I shouldn't have been spending the money, so if having a logo on the blade can save me $3.00, then that's what I'll do.

Awesome. FW's Ian is the best! If I didn't already have the Kellam Tracker ... I have a thing for curly birch (and such in M39s).

Lots of knife people poo-poo the Glock knives, but I'll go out on a limb here and admit I carried one for years ... good BOB item.

I've been wanting to try one of the Glock knives, they seem like good value, but since they are technically classed as a bayonet they are not available here. Annoying.

Got a Böker Plus M1874 shovel today.

I didn't need it, but it looked cool. I already had a Cold Steel shovel, but this is a replica of the granddaddy of all the entrenching tools.

Fit and finish are better than the Cold Steel, but you're paying for it. No meaningful difference in size. It might be a bit heavier, but it's hard to tell without a scale. The only real downside I see is the inability to easily replace a broken handle. Otherwise, it can do everything the Cold Steel can do. Overall, the Cold Steel is a better value, but the Böker is nice for the historical aspects.

Went to the Merrell outlet to finally try the Moab 3 (Moab 2 didn’t fit me right, have been burning through a bunch of Merrell Yokotas and Columbia hiking shoes.)

Fit great though, much happier having a wider footprint and had the buy 1 at full price get two for 50% off which is actually a nice deal.

2021 Escape 19, 1 piece fiberglass trailer.

It's really 2 piece (top & bottom molds), but they join them together and brand them as 1 piece.

Happy Father's Day to me.

Well ...Most of my recent gear acquisitions have been sea kayak related......, one way or another ....
