Let’s play a game, shall we

Who knows what this is?

For those wondering, this is the magazine cutoff to a Magazine Lee-Enfield/Lee-Speed rifle.

458 correct it’s a Mammut figure eight for belaying and rappelling

 

[Wyatt Smith]

These two items are used together. The question- What specifically are they used for?

It’s been a while now so I’ll guess its a trap spring compressor.

The Mark 5 knife issued to me in the early 80’s

Ding! Specifically for large, double long spring traps like the Newhouse bear traps below. Use screw clamp to compress one spring, U clip that spring then compress second spring to set trap.

I stand corrected. Mammoth symbol not elephant!…. as if I’ve ever used one

 

[fourfive8]

Should also be fairly easy.

Waterproof match case.

 

[fourfive8]

Should be relatively easy.
Hint- if you know what a double haul is, then more likely to know that this is.

 

[Altitude sickness]

Well I know a double haul is a fly casting technique.
But I don’t know what that is

Yes, and?

No brave souls with a spirit of adventure?

OK, It is an M1855 mainspring compressor for large rifle-muskets. It can used to safely, without damage, compress the hairpin mainspring on any large lock. Allows for dis-assembly and re-assembly of the lock

My last picture is a U.S. Navy Mark 5 deep sea divers knife

Now that you mention it, I remember the movie Men of Honor, and I believe Cuba Gooding Jr. had one when he had the diving gear on.

Next one

Okay .. Who's the Following?

 

[fourfive8]

Laura Harring maybe? The name appeared on the pics when hovering, LOL

Next one View attachment 574051

I think I have used one or maybe even have one out in the shop but I can't remember! Age is a terrible thing to waste Maybe a tensioning tool or multi tool/wrench designed for a very specific machine/purpose... I can't remember

It’s an ice climbing pick called a “Tube pick”

You would change out the conventional pick on an ice axe. The tube pick dislodges less ice when driven into the ice being climbed.


Now to remember who I loaned my axes to last

 

[fourfive8]

No, I don't have one of those! That's for certain and a good stumper! However, unless I'm mistaken there is a specialized tensioning tool that coincidentally looks very similar... sans the teeth on the channel.

Well I know a double haul is a fly casting technique.
But I don’t know what that is

It is called a whip finisher for tying fishing flies. For wrapping thread, under light constant tension, on fly bodies and heads. It produces a neat, durable, knotless wrap.
