"may The Folksy Be With You"

Blues said:
This folksiness lends itself well to various permutations of greetings and other idioms such as:

What the folk? and folk me! which account for most my reactions to what I read online.

However, this being a family oriented, folks forum, we'll keep the content Rated: G for all audiences. ;) :thumbup:

That's very good Brutha Blues and will be annotated in the BigBook Of Good Things To Rememeber.
 
I am carrying this one today. I thought since I might be trading it I might as well carry it and give it some lovin, lubin, and sharpening. BTW, it fits nicely in my heretofore empty backpocket.

Brothern Kerry...You sure perked up when the Old Dog came back home!
I am feeling a tad perkier as well!
Tickled that the Folksy Brothern has returned safe & sound!

While not a full time convert, Still carry an XM-18 on the weekends, I now carry either one of my Todd Davidson slippies or the new Prime Stag Case trapper I got for my birthday everyday. Can we hear a big Amen from the congregation. Steve
 
Ya know what the Traditional forum reminds me of?

Anyone ever read the Fox Fire series of books about good mountain folk livin' and folklore?

It's like readin' JK stories from way back when when people were friendly and didn't use door locks.

If ya never read 'em check 'em out last I remember there were nearly 12 of 'em that would teach you everything from trappin' and cookin' squirrel, to forgin' yer own blades to makin' yer own shootin' iron.:D

(To check out their books click on their hi-lighted name in the begginin' of this post.)

I like these too.

My grandfather started to collect these books also.


I have thought from time to time that I should start a Collection of these books too.

AMEN! and might I add, you have chosen a very fine slip joint maker whose creations are quickly becoming(dare I say) almost legendary. Rumor has it, he used to be a simple carpenter. :p

This is a very good tip deserving of bumpage and must also be annotated in the Big Book Of Good Things To Remember.
 
Yea, though you be stainless steel your jigged bone scales and stout back spring have warmed my heart. Folksy be with you as well.

Sometimes the eyes deceiveth the brothern. If you speak of the Elephant Toenail up yonder, it comes from a blessed era when carbon steel flowed like milk and honey from the land of Pennsylvania. Also, that "jigged bone" is pakkawood, a deceptively fancy plywood and has been jigged to look like bone.

Even folksy things can take down the folksy. The brothern and sistern must study the Big Book Of Good Things To Know thouroughly so that they BE NOT DECEIVED! :D
 
I'd like to give testimony,I once coveted Spydercos,Benchmades,kydex ,and worst of all Glocks,then I came into the light,I got my mind right and found Folksy,thank-you.
 
Well, (not to change gears but) Glocks may have saved my bacon a time or two on the job over the years. I'll admit they may be ugly but they are reliable.

Hell, since they've got a plastic shell, I'll just give 'em a pass and consider them the sodbusters of firearms. Not as aesthetic as some wheel guns and .45's I've owned, but there is definitely some beauty in function.

I had never thought of them in quite that way before. Sodbusters of firearms. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I start to knock "plastic" guns.

Nay, Brother, my Burnt Chimney trapper is stainless. Forgive us those we chromium against as we forgive those who chromium against us.

Bllues,the next thing you'll say is you like Gore-Tex.

Basic, I've spent enough nights in the wilderness as a backpacker and technical climber to appreciate whatever works and whatever may be at hand.

That's not the same thing as stating preference, however.
