Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

[cards94]

Thirded by me! I actually had to go and check those out elsewhere.

Today I have been catching up on rest and laundry after some long shifts at work.

I took the opportunity to bake a loaf whilst I was vegging....

Goofed my scoring up a little and now it looks like 'Red John' baked it

i'll take a slice of that with some tomato and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Excuse the lame phone pic, but I helped a buddy butcher his elk today:

 

[Jack Black]

Good stuff SH, looks like you had the right tools there :thumbup:

Nice to see that wee Baker's Knife Thom. I've got a big brother for it when I see you

Its such a nice knife....I enjoy putting it to work for its very specific tasks.
Shall look forward to that Jack, thank you. That pint(s) and a chin wag can't come soon enough!
Roll on the 6th!

Beautiful artisan loaf, Thom! The knife is very cool as well

Thank you sir. Its multi grain. Has a great flavour, like bread oughta taste.

Well I'd offer to send you some but....


SH - That meat looks so good! It must be a pleasure to put those knives to work with such an honest and venerable task :thumbup:

Indeed, it is. Fresh, wild elk is the leanest, tastiest meat I've ever eaten. Luckily, I get to eat a fair bit of it in this part of the world.

SH - I've only had elk once....I'm envious but pleased to hear you are eating well sir.

JB - looking good. It's that kinda weather isn't it?

I've just rustled up some Caldo Verde. My Bethel Ridge Forge Hunter did all the prep.

 

[screened porch]

That's no pequena with that food! What have you done with the real Jack Black?
Very cool knife though.

That Bethel Ridge is a beaut, too, Scruff.

Nowhere near dinnertime here, unfortunately.

Look at the nice crumb on that bread!! The knife is very nice sitting on top.

It certainly is my friend. That looks good, nice-looking knife too

The Pequena was fighting to get out of my pocket Jer, but it's been a while since I last used the wee FB Sitflyer gifted me a while back

i had no idea what caldo verde was until i looked it up. looks good.:thumbup:

Thank you. The maker, Fred Rowe, kindly gifted me the blade a while back. Its a wee tweak on his hunter design.
I handled it with stabilized American Maple.

Thanks Gev. I thought maybe it needed a bit more kneading....but I guess i got away with it

It certainly is my friend. That looks good, nice-looking knife too

Its hearty soup season. The blade was a wonderful gift. I honor that by using it almost everyday.

Honestly, neither did I until last need. I was doing a bit of recipe roulette. Portuguese cabbage, chorizo and potato soup didn't sound quite so cool

I'd recommend it by the way. Its very easy to make, and so tasty. This is the 'Hairy Bikers' rendition.

Beautiful blade and great hafting :thumbup:

My slightly unusual Trevor Ablett Barlow helped me with various chores today. No cooking, but it did open my mail and various packs and packets, sharpen a pencil, and help me make some knife-box dividers.

 

[Hammer67]

I like that knife, Jack! Looks like a nice handful for larger jobs. :thumbup:

 

[screened porch]

More jackknives should have two full-sized blades, and more should have one straight edge and one curved. Love that Ablett.

 

[Gevonovich]

I agree, The Trevor is great looking but also a workhorse!!

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks a lot guys
