It is in good EDC shape with tight blades and will go into the "the 5th pocket" for carry and use after a cleaning and patented "Smitty warm mineral oil soak" ... however I think I blew it by going with this #67 and not getting a #72 at least the guys on #72 thread seem to think so... ... I apologize in advance for my foolhardy and reckless behavior...
Both are great totes. Nice 67 shortline TOPDOG!!

Somehow I missed that post yesterday. A very nice 72, and the rock it's sitting on looks pretty cool, too!

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Thanks, I really like carrying the 72, looks like I will have to get a few more ... .... The blue in the rock should be copper that has become oxidized copper. Sometimes you can find some pretty big chunks around here

Fished this little short line 12 out of the bay recently. It is a first year short line as it has the bone handles. Some blade wear but pretty pleased with it. Thanks for looking.

Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Thanks Papa Bones, we have similar taste.
Re: Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19
Picked up a couple lots and here’s 2 short lines that are now soaking in oil . The 23 has serious snap and half stops . The 13 a little weak on the main ,otherwise okay ,more blade loss than would like but needed a 13 for awhile now so it’ll do for now. The 23 is near full blades and factory covers with no advertising. Will keep this one as is for the shortie section.
G dog,this is all your fault you know! You had to start a short line section didn’t ya ,lol

Very nice, JP. The 23 in particular is a real looker!
