You all have some real talent for this poetry stuff.
I can't get past, "There once was a man from Nantucket..."

Isn't that the one that says nasty stuff about PhotoBucket??

Canoe, no paddle,
Lovely, smooth, and symmetric.
Favorite pattern!

The porch dwellers are rockin' (pun intended) this thread! Pretty cool.

Nantucket knife man
Writes some haiku when he can
With fine harpoon steel

 

[Pinemoon]

with her sultry sway
the temptress of tempered steel
mocks my flesh and bone

Fodderwing's burnt stag
Is a Damascus beauty
Where can I buy one!

Seriously. Is that a swayback jack?
Gorgeous...

 

[Fodderwing]

the hiss of a blade
calm conscious understanding
a rush of silence


Thanks Pinemoon, it's a Case/Bose Colab pruner.

Wow. Stunning.

Very kind of you to say. Much appreciated.

Yes JTB_5
I remember seeing something similar on Stefan Schmalhaus' YouTube channel. Nice looking blade.

Yes, Stefan has done reviews of Roland's knives. Thanks again for the compliment. That knife is particularly special to me as the artwork is a print from one of my favorite artists, El Greco (the painting is "View of Toledo").

Schrade senior stockman,
three blades, distinct, yet allied:
perfect pocket knife.

 

[Prester John]

Wharncliffe blade, so straight;
Thou hast captivated me.
O, to slice with thee!

 

[Prester John]

Schrade senior stockman,
three blades, distinct, yet allied:
perfect pocket knife.

Good one.

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Prester!

the knife cut deeply
and red stump of a finger

For THE PORCH

rocking on his porch
the man tamps and lights his pipe
settled in his comfort

 

[Postlapsaria]

Oh my pointy knife
You slice things up very nice
Refrigerator

 

[Peregrin]

Schrade senior stockman,
three blades, distinct, yet allied:
perfect pocket knife.

Very nice, Jeff.
That Schrade brought back a memory of mine. I gave my oldest son the 1983 version of that knife. It was his year of birth. I haven't seen it in awhile but I remember it being an excellent knife.
Sorry! No Haiku.

 

[Jolipapa]

worn jigged bone
and sharp carbon steel blade
back in pocket now

 

[Pinemoon]

GEC obsessed
83 was my gateway
No money for food

One Wooden Wednesday
An ironwood beauty appears
Oh such stunning grain

Sixty six stockman
You were nearly passed over
Now you're lifted up

Ten ninety five steel
Is sharpened until scary
Perfect for a knife

Gleaming blades shining
Slicing all that is needed
Silent, quick and clean

Can't speak enough good
About cutlery so fine
Hold one and you'll know

 

[Pinemoon]

For Wooden Wednesday
Out comes an ironwood beauty
Oh such stunning grain

Sixty six stockman
You were nearly passed over
Now you reign supreme

The ten ninety five
Is sharpened until scary
Perfect for this knife

With three different blades
You cut all that is needed
Clean, quick, without fuss

Can't say enough good
About cutlery so fine
See if you agree

That ironwood sure is a beauty.

Sparrow is awarded the most haiku in one post, thus far.
Bravo! my knife-nut friend!
