I hope my pics aren't too gross.

I loved them, I’m envious my friend!

 

[MolokaiRider]

The best part. Served raw on a bed of shredded cabbage, dipped in soy sauce mixed with Coleman's hot mustard powder.

Love your unique & clever ways of posting your pics. Always looking forward to the next one.

I had a great day today. We celebrated my daughter’s 12th birthday, my in-laws are in town for a visit, and we worked a little more on the ramp. I carried this Camco.

 

[Hyesouljah]

The barlow has never really spoken to me much but I really like the green micarta one. Looks traditional enough but with subtle modern touch!

Yes, it’s very similar to my Heritage Jack which I love. I think the thinner blade stock on the 2AB will make for a better user. Just wish they were 1095!

 

[Hyesouljah]

I’ve had bucks in the past but this Heritage Jack was my first traditional and I scored it in a drop! I had lurked bladeforums and Facebook groups to learn more about these timeless looking knives and my curiosity led me to a drop on a very special knife brand. It’s been a downhill since then but it all started with this here #86 for me.

Very much looking forward to receiving my first Bladeforums knife which also turns out to be an #86 but a little more special. Two knives that tell a great story and that I’ll be making great memories with for years to come.

Iris enjoyed the apple.

GEC Spring Street Barlow again today - a more overcast, drizzly, and dark kind of day, the knife color looks more subdued as well. OH

Very nice composition, sombre but elegant.

Hyesouljah amazed by your apple pix with the dog waiting patiently for her ration. Never thought dogs liked fruits-bears yes and my late parents had a huge Tomcat who was crazy about melon slices. Isn't apple a powerful laxative though....

Tremendous that Barehead, lucky day you got that!

It was lucky indeed! Wish I went for a giraffe or mammoth in hindsight!
She gets an apple every night as well as carrots and blueberries throughout the day as well other stuff occasionally, she loves them and they’re really healthy for her!
She’s in incredible shape now after I was forced to start feeding her a homemade diet because of a health issue. It made me realize how unhealthy kibble is for dogs, even though I was feeding her the best quality kibble available.

Remington and Camillus trappers
...

Both fine trappers, Steve, but certainly many differences between the 2 knives!

Very nice Scout Knife, GT.
It's nice that Boker gives a ready-to-buy option with that grand old pattern.

Thanks, John. That Boker magnum scout evokes a lot of nostalgia for me.

A repeated duo since last weekend. Lambfoot and small Tinker. The Lambfoot has been my apple knife of late
...

That jigged bone WCLF is a superstar, Paul!

Grilling in the wet. B-day carry

Very belated birthday greetings, Joshua, and delayed congrats on the part-time job you secured!

Thank you! Yes, those big slabs of black walnut are factory.

About that linguistics thing. I am relieved that someone else, a real college professor at that, notices that nonsense as well! It’s gotten extremely common among the lowest common denominators in society - news readers. It ranks close to “I could care less”, to which I reply, “How much less?”

Jeff, thanks for the info on your rope knife.
"I could care less" is a good example of an idiom that leaves this idiot scratching his head!

The Pioneer with the blue lanyard.

3 quality alox SAKs, Frank!

Sorry about the link Gary, I often have the same thing! They ARE good gloves though! I have a lot of pairs of Mechanix gloves, and as I know my sizing, that was one of the reasons I bought the Durahide pair from them, though they're still snug compared to the non-leather gloves. I rarely suffer with cold hands, even in winter, but I wear them when I am working. My new gloves are definitely leather, but Durahide also seems to be used as a name for faux-leather furniture, which is a bit confusing. One of the main reasons I bought leather gloves was for handling hot pots and pans around the camp fire. Your split cowhide gloves sound great, and even if they were expensive, have provided exceptional value after 45 years
...

Thanks for the glove info, Jack! I bought my cowhide mittens back in 1976 when I took skiing lessons and wanted something durable for grabbing the rope tows to get up the beginners' hills. Haven't been on skis since then, but the mittens sure have served me well!
Your stag HHB and ebony gunstock make a dynamic duo!

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing.

...

Thanks for your service, Officer!
Excellent ebonies you elected for Wooden Wednesday!

Winning triple play, Jer!
Your calendar indicates that carrying a trapper will be especially appropriate this Friday (Oct. 15).

Happy Wednesday Everybody

Fetching fall foto, John! Are those leaves natural, or some kind of fabric reproduction?

Superior stag pair, José!!

The leaves are just beginning to turn here, had to pick this one from the Sassafras tree in front of our house. Came home late from a game last night and found the 2AB waiting for me. Wouldn’t have been possible without the help of @Jon0385, thanks buddy! ...

Congrats on the new Barlow, Todd! What does the "2AB" stand for (if anything)? That wood Böker is a fabulous fall selection!

Rosewood re-covered Pal cattle punch for wooden Wednesday and a stag German half whittler because stag seems to be fitting for fall.

Splendid picture of a pair of classy knives, Greg! I often hear about "popcorn stag", but some of your gourds have texture I'd love to see on stag handles!

5K Qs Thank you, GT! Y'all already got me spending money on knives again.

All there in black and white
Full coverage provided by CASE
And it's a Wharncliffe kind of Wednesday evening
...

Terrific trio of teardrops, Jim!

Grand looking Canoe, GT.

Thanks, John. For me, a favorite feature of that canoe is its serial number that I didn't see until the knife arrived. It's my birthdate in DDMM format!

Thanks, Gary.. I suspect my friends are mostly the same way. I'm certain my kids and grandkids are unamused by my stories of my youth and the olden days, ya know, Dads or Granddads were never young.
...

Yeah, sometimes it seems that in current American society, nothing important happened before last week!

I carried my 2020 forum knife today while patiently waiting for the 2021.
...

Really distinctive ram's horn on your '20 BF knife; looks like some kind of fancy "distressed" leather!

[5K Qs]

I heard in another thread (@afishhunter) that a Barlow and a canoe make a great pairing…thought I’d give it a go. View attachment 1655522

Todd, I like that canoe with white bone and speckles, and that must be a BIG barlow!

View attachment 1655525
Thanks Todd. These are the ones I brought with me for the trip.

Desirable set of traveling knives with some handsome knife "luggage"!

Thursday already!?

Couple of superb, classic Barlows, Taylor!

Thanks Jon... your looks great too!

I need to make some others with that 2-tone double stitching!!

I really admire the baseball glove slips you guys have!

I don't yet have the skills to make one myself, but I "found" this one in the webbing of an old glove I tore apart several years ago to repurpose the leather. I realized that if I took out a partial row of stitches, I'd have a great little knife pouch that I carry every day:

Four handy helpers Gary

Thanks, Jack.

Toting a Stockman and a Gunstock today.

Bonny bone on that elegant pair, JJ!

Whittlin' time away on this rainy day while going through the bonding phase with this new arrival.
Solingen Stainless Henckels by Boker, Whittler with beautiful Hellbraun Pin Feather Jigged Bone.
Well centered, no blade rub, hand honed and sharp out of the box. Minor gaps at backspring.
This one is going to be a strong competitor for pocket time with my Case Medium Jack and Texas Jack.
Very happy with this, my first "Whittler". Most excellent !!!
...

Congrats on that handsome Henkels, Jim; heck of a first whittler!

Unfortunately my Mom passed away last week, so I’ve been preoccupied. I carried this #92 to AL with me, and I’m still carrying it today.
...

Belated sympathies to you and your family on your loss. My Mom died in a traffic accident 33 years ago last week; tough times.

Now Cal, you KNOW that 'our' Buck 118 is already in my hunting pack, along with two old style skinners I have obtained since last deer season. I will use my favorite Buck 118 and will also try to work in this old school Kabar 1233 Skinner and this modern take, a 1980 Case 223-5 Skinner that has Delrin handles. One thing is for sure, unless I find myself in the woods with nothing but a pocketknife, I won't be using a pocketknife to clean and butcher a deer! OH
...

You've got some classic fixed blades there, Bruce!

I sure like their looks, but I can't see myself ever getting one because I can't think of when I'd ever carry or use such a knife.

I carry today this Case mini trapper wharncliffe in bone.
...

Very attractive min trapper, José!

...
Double stag for me today, my Hartshead Barlow, and an Old Friend I always mean to carry more

...

Your stag HHB and the stag BF knife (from 2014?) make and admirable stag pair, Jack!
