Definitely don't want to be losing White Shadow Gary! Great pics

Thanks, Jack.
I agree that I don't want to lose White Shadow, but I'm a little worried that the only knife I remember losing in my life was a fancy white fake pearl handled knife. My parents gave it to me for graduation from 8th grade IIRC, and I only carried it to church on Sunday. I kept the knife in a pocket of my suit coat, and when I moved away to college, I didn't take the suit with me and have no idea what happened to the suit or the knife in its pocket.

Good morning, Guardians. Beautiful lambs, Gary! And glad to hear your back is strong and your sidewalks are clear of snow! No snow in north Texas but the chilly weather persists. I’ve pulled my bayou trapper again, ironwood naturally. View attachment 3047280

Thanks, Dave; that sowbelly is a champ!
My back is strong enough for light and fluffy frigid temperature snow. But my back and I met our match today trying to clear the wet, heavy, slushy snow/freezing rain that fell last night and this morning as the temp kept fluctuating over and under 32˚F. I still have a big pile I pushed from one side of the driveway to the other (mostly unused) side that I still have to throw over a 5-foot chain link fence into the end of the garden.

Here's a pile side shot of White Shadow's mottled whiteness:

White Shadow is a dandy

Thanks, David.

I really liked seeing your "odd ball" Taylor Elk Horn "Land Shark" from Japan. That's the first elk one I've seen. Mike sometimes shows his stag version. And I first saw them when Taylor Schrade started making them in China and selling them as an Old Timer model with sawcut Delrin handles; that came after both your elk horn and Mike's stag versions.

I had a bad night last night. I think I got about 3 hours sleep. This morning I was up and at the hospital for a chest CT scan, breathing tests, and a "6 minute walk" test. Next week I see my pulmonologist. Hopefully the tests will reveal that I'm responding well to the drug on I've been on for the last six months
When I got home I posted a couple of comments on BF and then crashed for a couple of hours and forgot to post pics
Without further ado...

Look after yourself Brother.
I've not had a good week mentally. As you know my old man hasn't been well, Mum had to get an ambulance at 5am last Thursday, spent a couple of days in hospital. Tuesday technician came in and set up oxygen tank for him to use at home and can take morphine when he needs it

Working on night shift this week so a lot of thumb twittling is in store for me. Carrying this fine IXL Barlow and of course my pockets are filled with leather goods from sbh06 .

A fine pairing, but just Lambsfoot knives here please

Sorry about that. I fixed it.

 

[Kroo Blades]

I think it's wonderful.

Thank you kindly!

 

[Jack Black]

Sorry about that. I fixed it.

Many thanks

Heres a odd ball. These Taylors have been discussed before but I just got this one recently. Taylor Cutlery Elk Horn 1981 made in Japan.

Wow, great find David, certainly never seen one like that before

Now you are ready for an American baseball game, but you need a plastic cup of beer.

A Wright today.

Very sorry to see this Mike Cool pic though

Mike, my thoughts are with you. I hope you can find a level of comfort to make each day more bearable.

That's been my experience for the last two years. All it's done is stabilize me and barely keep me me alive but no real solution's. Oh well everyday above ground is good day. Altho some times I wonder.

Always sad to hear about a lost knife buddy, I hope that is at least the very last of them

You need to bring in some young folks Gary!

So very sorry Mitch. I'm sure it is a terrible feeling, but hopefully your dad can find comfort in his battle.

Thanks gents
He's got a lot further than any 1 expected. It's been 2 years and a bit since he was diagnosed.
Only started stronger pain relief last month.
Of course being old school He's not going to tell us how he really is, mum fills us in on the quiet.
