You don’t have to get it. When a math professor makes a joke, a polite chuckle will do. Add a snort if you need points for a better grade.

Definitely John, I'm really enjoying carrying it :) When it comes to work, I instinctively reach for my Lambsfoot, of course, but hopefully we'll both get to bite some cake tomorrow ;) :D :thumbsup:

Nice combination mate, have a great time :) :thumbsup:

I almost got caught up with this thread last weekend, but I apparently don't have the stamina to keep up!


Such a splendid stag knife, José, with the dapper little man by the river on the blade! :thumbsup::thumbsup: 🤓


That's a very insightful question! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I grew up on a dairy farm, so I suppose I could be called an ex-farmer. It seems only fitting that I get a Farmer-X! 🤓 I hope I can find one as nice as yours!



Gus, you are on an incredible roll lately with the delectable vintage knives! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Good thinking, John; lotta different ways to get people involved with a given topic! :thumbsup::thumbsup: 🤓
I was the guy that left the rosewood HHB lying around. I need to significantly improve my sharpening skills; I was trying to play mumbletypeg with my lambsfoot, but simply could NOT get it to stick in that cast iron target! :(:mad:


Your Cat-a-Raw-Goose Barlow is outstanding, Gev! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


Striking pair, Mike; the handles on both are top-notch! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


It's probably because of the holiday season that's upon us, but that knife of yours always reminds me of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, even though I realize Scrooge's late partner was named Marley, not Morley. :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Yeah, I tend to be kind of a control freak, and I suppose these seasonal "mistimings" of leaf fall and snowfall are a reminder that I need to be patient and relax, since there are so many things over which I really have no control at all, despite all my arrogance plans! :oops:;)


Very clever, Jack! 🤓 :thumbsup::thumbsup: I don't think of myself as a huge fan of the Barlow pattern, but I DO thoroughly enjoy carrying my rosewood HHB!
You selected an impressive pair to kick off the week!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Speaking of great knife shots, I really like your colorful contributions in this post, Jeff! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Sorry to hear your shoulder kept you from playing softball, Todd. I played on at least one team every summer from 1975 through 2017. But I had a cataract that was getting so bad in 2017 that I started to worry about fly balls hitting me in the face, so I sat out 2018. I had cataract surgery in January and March of 2019, but there were complications so I told my church team I couldn't commit to playing that summer. Then 2020 was COVID and the "athletic complex" at which we played closed before the 2021 season, so I didn't play last summer either. At least I'm back to playing basketball again, wearing masks - but I can play without glasses now!

Maybe I'm older than I think I am, and half of my vocabulary is "vintage" and only other geezers understand me! 🧙‍♂️ 😁


Yowza! I hope tomorrow I get to eat some dinner rolls as golden brown and tasty as that pair of vintage knives, Steve!! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


So you're still using a shredder your grandparents used in the 60s? That's fantastic! :cool::thumbsup::cool: I saw that Tractor Supply has a leaf shredder branded "Martha Stewart" (made by an outfit called SnoJoe, I think); I should shop around a little.

Sort of amazing how our mood or mind set can cause us to misread stuff sometimes! 😁


Congrats on the Moki! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: I've often looked at Moki models, but haveneverpulled the trigger. How do you like yours so far?
I always admire the Presidentials! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


Different strokes! 😁


I don't know how I never heard of the 98OT before; that looks like a splendid stockman! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
What's that jigged bone beauty lying behind it? Couple of slender, stylish slicers!

Thank you, Gary.
I did have to put a new engine on that old shredder, because several decades sitting neglected in my shed took their toll!

That string trimmer shredder sounds ingenious.
 
On the way home from an appointment yesterday we went past where the Sand Hill Cranes congregate every fall just to see them one more time . Last week there were probably 5 times this many .

Today I finally got back out to my work bench in Bay 3 and found a knife that had been used , lost , and forgotten about . It is a Case with CV blades . Just oiled it down to get the process started .


Today I am carrying a Silver Stag lock back in Elk and a Hartkoph in German Stag that I got in 2017 ? while in Austria . Each are always carried in slips .
Edited 11-30-2021 to correct brand


Both are O.K. but neither are the same class as a GEC .

No holiday here tomorrow, so I'll be working my fingers to the bone at my local fleamarket, and sweating over a hot chip butty

Let there be cake! ;) :thumbsup:

Nice John, those two can get some work done for sure.

Not much work got done by either, but I felt prepared. ;)

It is. They changed the law that would allow me to use one with a sealed breach, but this one works so well I see no reason to change.

Looks great to me, I know they are very well regarded. Would love to try one someday, can't get more traditional than that and especially with iron sights.:thumbsup:

We get the sand hill cranes around here this time of year also. I love seeing them. It is also very cool to hear them flying over at night.

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Case chestnut CV muskrat:

Cool chestnut cv muskrat, Gary. Although I tend to like all of the chestnut cv knives.
 
I forgot I had this Case stockman and recently found it in the bottom of a dresser drawer. It came in a collector tin and I don’t think I’ve ever carried it. I figured I might as well use it. Kinda weird pale green scales, but otherwise very nice. It’s from 2001, if I’m reading the tang stamp correctly.

Just hangin’ with the dogs today.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. I’m looking forward to relaxing with the family for a few days.
