Very interesting and impressive! I’ll bet you have a beautiful property. Love those pruners, too.
Why do you dispose of your prunings rather than use them as mulch? Possible spreading of disease between plants? Just curious.

I would need a woodchipper or grinder to make use of the prunings as mulch. I have a total of 11 fruit trees, two large shade elms, six washingtonia palms, one jacaranda tree, and grape vines, all packed tightly on a quarter acre lot, and that quarter acre includes my house. I generate far more prunings than I could ever use for mulch anyway, and to do so would require setting aside some space in my yard for it. If I am going to use what little space is left free in my yard, it will be for more fruit trees; I am trying to get things set up so that I have fresh fruit year round, and I am almost there.

Thanks for the explanation. Clearly you know what you’re doing.
As I say each year as my garden expands, you can’t eat a lawn.

TC Barlow today.

 

[Peregrin]

Hope everyone's enjoying their weekends.

Eureka Jack yet again.

What a great image of you Eureka Jack, Mike! I'm having a hard time carrying anything else myself.

Thanks Gary. I don't know how long it's going to hog the pocket, but I have a feeling it'll be a while yet. I really love this knife! It's darn close to perfect for my pocket knife needs. The novelty will wear off eventually I'm sure, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts

Thanks, Todd. It’s starting to get a vintage look.

We are all doing well. My daughter’s symptoms never got too bad and the rest of us are negative, so we’ll see what happens. Thanks for asking. I hope you guys are staying healthy.

With Case mini trapper in stag today.

 

[Jack Black]

Good day everyone. I’m carrying the TC today.

Looking good Kevin

Yes, it did come as a shock Mr. Jack and I thank you for posting the group photo. We had a fun couple of days there. For your only Primble knife, that is a very nice example !

Thank you very much Mr P, it's one I treasure I still miss Ron a lot, and know I'm not alone in that. Sadly, we never met, but I considered him a close friend, and we interacted daily for years. He was a real stalwart of the Guardians thread

Thanks Jack ! I hope Stuart is doing okay, I miss his posts

Me too Steve, I hope he finds his way back to us soon

Good Morning Porch Friends

Totin' my Usual Lamb...


And throwing in the Case Single Blade Mini Trapper for extra measure...

Those two go well together buddy

Winning combination

It’s ten degrees warmer this morning, so I went out for a photo.View attachment 1716933And then, just to remind us that spring will come back around, I thought I’d include a pic of this orb weaver doing her thing in my flower garden.View attachment 1716934
Two Camillus and what used to be a mower blade got a touch up.

Nice Wharncliffe Knife Chip

Happy Saturday everyone. This is a pocketable pair for sure!

They go well together Taylor, hope you're doing OK buddy

Haha! Good luck, I'm doing the same regarding a little Arno Bernard that I don't need.

Looks like you're enjoying that birthday gift Rachel

A Wright Lambsfoot for the annual pruning of my plum, peach, apricot, fig, and mulberry trees and grape vines.
I have pruners and loppers from Corona, Felco, ARS, Bahco, Hickock, and Okatsune. My favorite is ARS, followed by Bahco. The Okatsune is a great cutter and would be my favorite if it had better handles.

After 2.5 hours of pruning and cutting things down to fit in the yard waste bin

I have fruit ready now in the form of my ponderosa lemons

In about a month I will start eating my tangelos

One of my three orange trees (all are valencia, which have much better flavor than navel). I won't start eating these until May, after which I will have an orange every day through October

Great pics, those lemons are incredible

Thanks kindly, Jack!!!

It's always quite a treat to see your amazing Primble; a worthy companion to your HHB, surrounded by those sweet treats!

Many thanks JJ

Ran a few errands in town today. Haircut, petrol fill up and sundries from the store. My carry combo is easy on the hip and pocket View attachment 1717289

Cool pairing

Heres a Schrade Walden Butter and Molasses 234K it's akin to the Old Timer 33OT in size. This is the original variation of Butter and Molasses compared to the more orange/yellow solid version they offered in the end. I like these covers much better.
This knife is absoulutly new but stored poorly. I clean, sharpened and oiled and put it back into service Both blades centered in the well with no play at all when open, a great (SHARP) little knife.

Congratulations Paul, a nice piece of history

Toting Calf Roper and a Harness Jack which I grabbed after spotting Dave's beauty (@dave308ek.)

A striking photo of a stunning pair of knives my friend

Angus Jack and Pony Jack today. Got my test back and am positive for COVID again; however, I did get out of the house for some fresh air. Will hopefully be back to myself in a few days.

Hope you're better again soon Couple of great companions there

Interesting choice Kevin

This thread gets busier and busier, doesn't it?! Hope everyone is having a great weekend, and that you have a relaxing and peaceful Sunday Double Lambsfoot Day for me!

 

[Johnnythefox]

Nice one.

If yours is like mine, the factory edge is 10DPS, according to my EZ Wares guided rod sharpener that has a 10DPS slot.

I gave mine a couple swipes to make sure the edges are even, followed by a clean (?) dry leather strop.

I might get a black ultra fine Arkansas stone, when the budget allows and give it a few light swipes on that, doing my best not to put on a micro bevel.

Is yours Czech 14260 Spring Steel?

Its made by a local blacksmith via the internet,he doesnt say what the steel is.
Its reasonably sharp enough,I was cutting string last night.
I think it works extremely well fingers on the blade handle in the palm pulling forwards as there is lots of control that way.

Suitable for Sunday ...
I'm not Hungarian but this citizen of my collection is ... and proud of it ... :SALUTE:

[Johnnythefox]

It’s a cutter not a slicer,easy to use though and tough as old boots
