Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

Find drinking whisky, any whisky, is enhanced and more pleasurable for me when a small amount of spring water is added..........this followed from a whisky tasting session many moons ago led by an Islay expert/connoisseur. But, ultimately, what really matters is how each person enjoys their own . Preferably, I find it best taken after dark around flickering flames under the stars with a mate or three

True, too.

All Utica! Utica Club pilsner, Kutmaster tickler, and a Utica bar knife (the MOP washed out by my "lighting").

I spread the French cheese on baguette slices with my French knife, served on an English plate, and opened the Australian wine with a Swiss knife (not pictured), poured into German wine glasses (my wife also had German cheese). Ain't I cosmopolitan?

Mmm sounds good Vince Prester John
I'm doing Carlsberg and a Castillo black mouldy cheese...both Danish by coincidence....

I love the colour green.

I also love the colour of beer..

Here we go! Party hearty!!

It just recently appeared, as did Narragansett. Good beer at a fine price. What's not to like?

Thanks, Jer. That's a fine French slicer that you are using. Swizzle stick?

The Italian knife is younger than the wine and, thus, not quite as smooth, but I'm not complaining. Both are robust and "git 'er done".

Thanks.
I haven't actually used it yet. I'm still just carrying it around and taking it out to admire it.

This is one of my very favorite stouts but it certainly isn't for the faint of heart at close to 9% ABV !

Paired with a new fixed acquisition. A take on the Puukko style, made in 5160 steel and covered with micarta, designed and made by Bill Siegle. Such a nice thin grind behind the edge, I am really looking forward to putting this one to some good use, it simply melds into your hand.

Beautiful fixed blade and sounds to be a slicer like no other !
Nice combo you’ve got going there

Thank you, my friend, it is a very nice design and I am already putting it to some work in my kitchen this evening. Bill did a nice job on this one, it's a cutter for sure.

Though not a traditional puukko, it is certainly inspired by such and it is quite a delightful knife. I am looking forward to getting further acquainted with it. Nice composition, Jack, that Alfred Blackwell is always a treat to see.


A bit of Irish for myself this evening. Most of the leaves have come down, which means I'll have to start clearing my gutters and doing some blowing/raking soon. This evening, however, I will enjoy a break in the rain with a wee dram and a pleasant smoke.
