Traditional Knife Haiku

[Jolipapa]

just reminding facts
surely is no lesson
but may be said here

 

[RayseM]

Haiku or lowku,
sharp knife or a dull old thing,
honing makes better.

[Prester John]

just reminding facts
surely is no lesson
but may be said here

Not sure what it means, but sounds wise.

 

[Pinemoon]

Forum knife, '19
U.S., Sheffield, Italy
The Porch is buzzing

 

[Fodderwing]

unassuming grit
and diminutive stature
calm and capable

eschewing limelight
while taking care of business
the common man’s friend

always on the job
dependable trustworthy
the mighty peanut

 

[Prester John]

1095 steel
Requires extra attention;
But, oh, how lovely!

1095 steel
Requires extra attention;
But, oh, how lovely!

if you love a chore
then it is no longer work
why reinvent wheels

 

[RayseM]

I dream a new knife.
Custom maker, la de da.
Classic Old Timey,

favored and cherished,
with traditional details,
for working and play.

Carbon steel slippy
creates smiles as it slices,
sharpening with ease.

Still just a concept,
though be soon on the workbench
for knife maker’s art.

Until then I wait.
A haiku teaser is all
I can offer you.

The bold rams reared up
Charging, smashing, skull-to-skull
Hormones seethed in eyes

Horns and bones live on
Beyond breeding's battlefield
And adorn great knives

Outstanding knife and prose.

 

[Mongo]

It is a classic
The venerable peanut
Yellow scales of course

 

[Pinemoon]

Outstanding knife and prose.

Thanks a lot.
It's my latest addition. Can ya tell I like it?

 

[Fodderwing]

It's my latest addition. Can ya tell I like it?

It is a spectacular specimen no doubt about it.

 

[RayseM]

A couple of excellent additions to this building evolving KNIFE anthology.

Kudos to Pinemoon and Mongo - nice knife too

Navaja from Spain,
Supposed to arrive by eight;
The wait is prolonged.

I was wondering if you'd ordered one.
The delay must feel like a cruel joke.
God speed that navaja!

God speed that navaja!

I ordered on the 4th. José shipped it on the 15, and it was supposed to arrive today (only 7 days!) by 8:00 pm. Should get it tomorrow.

A fourteen felt small
But what if it had two blades?
Only time will tell.

Maybe weather delayed? Gov't shutdown?
Looking forward to your report tomorrow!
