Traditional Knife Haiku

[Pinemoon]

Yessiree

I guess I gotta drink the Kool-Aid and find out what all this lambsfoot-ness is all about.
Just googled the A. Wright and Son site. Good prices...

 

[Pinemoon]

as cro magnum brow
pondered possibilities
limited and dull

from the depths of earth
a liquid carbon cauldron
in which iron did swim

and while he hurled stone
his progeny wielded sword
giving birth to war

Exquisite brother!
You're on another level
A bow and a wave

Pinemoon high praise and cleverly posted. Thank you.

Wow, I think I'm just reading whitty replies (or confessions ) and then Yikes - I realize I'm reading poetry. Some good ones too!

Sorry, damn, I could have made that rhyme or something Low koo - less later.

A lambsfoot in hand
Will bring you plenty of joy
You’ll have no regrets

Restoring old knife
Leather stacked, carbon steel, stag
Made new, bringing joy

 

[Prester John]

A new year is here;
So many knives to acquire!
Should I seek some help?

 

[Pinemoon]

Stand at the meeting
Hi knife-nuts, I'm Prester John
A blade-a-holic

Welcome Prester John!

Ha! Is there a 12-step program?
I just don't know how this happened....

You and me both...knife collecting is just way too much fun!
As long as your still paying the bills and not blacking-out, I'd say you're ok

Whew! Not even any late payments, since I asked my wife to take over the bill-paying duties (okay, she asked me).

Just say what I say
I can stop when I want to
But just not today

A picture?

 

[Jolipapa]

What, too many knives?
I have plenty of room left
in my top drawer.

Nice sentiment!

I think line three has five.

Promised earlier,
Pics of my Moki Kronos:
Nippon perfection!




As usual, my pictures kind of suck, but this thing is a beauty. Superb fit and finish. I know the second photo is not really sharp, but the blade and lockbar meet up almost seamlessly. I will post more (and better) photos when I figure out which thread I should put them in.

Moki produces
excellent production knives.
Mine is finest kind.

Excellent, I am jealous. What about it is magical?
That one's on my list.

I haven't visited this thread for a while, but it has me thinking in haiku sometimes!
Here's one from yesterday:

A new year is here.
What should I resolve this time?
Even more new knives!
