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

Great find! The mushroom gods have smiled upon you! I hope to find some soon this year. Can you give us some idea of what state/locale you found them in? Also, I gotta say it....after seeing your Case XX knife right up against a Morel like I can't help but think the makers of Case Knives were trying to emulate the texture of a Morel mushroom when they settled on their jigging pattern! Looks identical! Love Morels, Love Case knives. Can't wait to accumulate more of both!
 
Funghi are certainly good, so too are apples. Dispatched by two Laguioles...

Started roughing out a little black cherry spoon before work today. Swedish style with the "keel" under the spoon bowl. There's a recipe where you make a steak in your cast iron skillet then while it is rest cooking under a foil tent you add a little butter and red wine and scrape the brown bits off the skillet and mix it all up and simmer it deglazing the skillet into a rich sauce for the juicy steak. I didn't have a wooden spoon to make that recipe with, so out comes the large stockman! 6375 CV, jigged amber bone. I love it!

 
Nice work on the spoon, hard to beat a bit of deglazing :thumbup:

Steak with that glaze sounds great! Nice start to the spoon too.
 
I opened some cardboard packages containing office furniture parts with my Buck Canoe, my official office knife. Only to find out that some quite important parts were missing. Damn.
 
Since Meako has 'demanded' my new marmalade knife/'Nutbrown' Utility Knife, I thought I'd make another! I'll have to get a fancy handle! :D

Thanks Gev :D I picked up a couple of old carbon steel table-knives while on the Quest, not sure how hard they are, but I thought I might as well get some use out of them.

 
Decided to work on a spoon I was hoping to be a mother's day gift late Tuesday night. I normally use the hatchet to rough it out but it was late so instead I used the clip blade on my large stockman. Got too aggressive & was rushing it because it was slower going than what I'm used to. Also I didn't have my strop handy & wasn't touching up my blade like I usually do when I'm working black cherry. Blade hung up on one cut, instead of backing off like I should of I put more force into the cut. The blade finally bit through the wood & redirected downward instead of glancing off and away like it had been doing. Resulted in my traditional knife getting a workout giving me 4 stitches & a tetanus shot! That CV blade laid my hand open like a butterflied steak. Thank God I learned my several lessons I should have already known without any damage to nerves or tendons or arteries. All things considered I guess I was lucky. It could have been worse. Be careful!
 
Whew!! Glad there's no permanent damage. We all have to remember to respect the blade.
 
My lucky Sowbelly Stockman got a much better workout cutting Morels today than my Serpentine Stockman got the other day cutting my hand!
