The timepiece indicates that it may be the 11th hour for your old Böker, Rachel, but I think it will last a long time yet! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Looking good, Jack! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: Split cowhide or suede or something I don't recognize??


Winning pair, John! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I've always admired the Queen Barlows with the rounded bolster and the toasty golden bone. Plaudits to Taylor for a super gift!


Tremendous trio of dependable doers, Jeff! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks, John. :) I'd like to find the courage and make the time to try modifying the pen blades on a couple of other knives the same way.


Totally agree, Jack; I always get a charge out of it! 🤓



Majestic stag muskrats, Jon and Paul!! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


Thanks, Todd; that little bust of the "hat guy" is a nice whittling job, and I wish I could take credit for it, but Greg @WhittlinAway sent that to me along with the modded Vic Recruit. :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Superb duo, Todd! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: Your chestnut jigged bone mini trapper is a real jewel! Coincidentally, I'm carrying one like that this week, but I apparently have a strong preference for the spey blade over the clip point, based on the patina😲:

Those Waynorth Cutlery Lambsfoot knives are sensational, and it's fantastic to see both models posted near each other! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


That's a really appealing knife, Mike! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: But I have to admit I'm having trouble identifying it.:rolleyes::( Sure looks like Case bone and Case "Xs and Dots" dating on the tang stamp, but I can't make out the shield. I might have guessed a Case humpback whittler, but I thought they had a spear main; is it just 2 blades and a half-whittler, maybe?


Impressive trio, Harry! :cool::cool::thumbsup:



I enjoyed the story behind your "GEC beater", Greg! :thumbsup::thumbsup:🤓

I’ve chosen to honor Schradurday as well, albeit in a bit more pedestrian fashion. There is nothing elegant or particulary pretty about a 163 rope knife, but I love the way it cuts and feels in my hand. And it makes the best sound opening and snapping shut of any knife in my knife drawer.
And going back to the extremely handy Wenger Handyman.View attachment 1652029View attachment 1652030Have a fantastic Saturday!

I think that Rope Knife is a looker Jeff :) :thumbsup:

My earliest memory was when I was about 8 yrs old, 1966, someone called to my dad as he was digging in the back garden, a horse, that was tethered by a long rope tied to a steel spike, on the common at the back of our house, had been tangled around it's neck by the rope and was lying on the ground kicking out as it was being strangled.
My dad went to the horse , which by now was almost motionless, and cut the rope around it's neck with this very knife, a few seconds later the horse had come round and got back on it's legs, shock itself and walked up to my dad, stood on his right foot and broke his big toe!
Dad said "that's the last b#$+%&d good deed I do for this year"
This knife must be about 60 year old, has been worn down by countless sharpening, scales have shrunk but still has the snap to match any of today's models and is priceless to me.

Good story Smudge, I have a few in that pattern, and while the 'worn down to the nub' model has a story, it isn't anywhere near as good as yours :) :thumbsup:

On Thursday I drove down to Arkansas from Minnesota for the FreshGrass music festival. The festival didn’t start until yesterday afternoon/evening, so we grabbed some local BBQ for lunch…

…and hit up a couple new breweries I hadn’t been to before.

Earlier this week I got the #86 Angus Jack (Medium Rare) in the mail, thanks to some help from @sf fanatic, so before I left I decided to sharpen it up and drop it in my pocket for the trip. GEC wasn’t kidding when they described it as “hefty” on the tube, but even with that and the high-riding sheepsfoot, it doesn’t feel too bulky in my pocket.

We tried to stop by AG Russell’s, too, but the shop was closed yesterday due to being short staffed. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the biggest disappointment we were in for yesterday.

The festival lineup last night was supposed to be Steep Canyon Rangers followed by Old Crow Medicine Show. OCMS is my favorite band hands down, and the biggest reason I made the trip. I’ve seen them play 6 or 7 times, in Arkansas, Arizona and Minnesota. They put on an absolutely fantastic, high-energy live show. We showed up during one of the other opening acts, and were able to get right down along the rail in front of the stage. I was ecstatic. I have seen OCMS that close before, but that was in smaller venues 10+ years ago, and the last several times I’ve seen them they were playing larger theaters and our seats were further back.

Right before Steep Canyon Rangers came on, one of the festival organizers came on stage and announced that someone with OCMS had tested positive for COVID that day, and they weren’t going to be playing. So that was certainly a bummer, but all I can do is make the best of it. We enjoyed Steep Canyon Rangers, and might catch some of the smaller acts today before Billy Strings tonight.

Thanks Gary :) Durahide is what Mechanix call it, which is apparently different to the stuff they make sofas from! :eek: I wish I hadn't done this search because they're a darn sight cheaper in the US than over here! :rolleyes:

LOL! I'd say that's an acceptable vice my friend :D ;) Thank you very much for your very kind words :) :thumbsup:
 
Messing around with one of my older rigs this morning. Needs new intake valve springs, and a new third member for the 9 inch to get her back into fighting shape. Most reliable truck I've ever had.

Case CV trapper along with an older Imperial that I found buried in sand a year ago.
