Thanks, John, for the mini trapper props. :)
No doubt I have the slacker gene, but I think the bigger problem is I just don't use my time very efficiently in my geezerhood. :rolleyes:🤓

You are the ultimate mad scientist of all of the knife realms. Genius dome of the knife world.

Me…opens my drawer in the morning…slobbers…picks a knife…indecisively changes my mind twice…set for the day.

I love how you operate GT!

Good to see you posting again, Gary and nice chestnut trapper. That sounds very organized. I pick out my knife and clothes the night before because I get up before my wife. Generally I say “what am I doing tomorrow and does it require a certain knife?” If not I say “ what do I feel like carrying tomorrow?”

Do you have an aspirin, by any chance ? :oops:
You made me think too much GT !
……………….. but, if it works for you, keep it up ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 🤣

maybe you got hurt on the rail ? My daily picks are not near that scientific F-3 =2 ;) 🤣

There's the problem for me, Jon & Bart & Primble. Without my schedule, I'd be changing my mind a dozen times each morning trying to decide what knives to carry; that was taking up way too much time. So making up a schedule when I had some spare time and then just using it once a week ended up being a real time-saver (and anxiety-reducer 😁).

It'll be easier if you just stick a trapper in your pocket every day for the next few years. Your system is complicated, Gary!

Following a prescribed schedule is actually simple as can be, once it's set up, Vince. ;)
And my system is so fair and equitable; once I started acquiring several knives, I felt compelled to give them all approximately equal carry time.

Storm clouds were rolling in this afternoon. I carried my Eureka today.

It has almost become tradition to break in a new GEC with Iris’ nightly apple cadence. Love this knife

My Case knife for the day, and the one I'll carry to work...

Terrific trio, John! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

JohnDF said:
I think I like the Big Uns more than the Standard sized Lambsfoot knives.
The Lambsfoot is a working pattern, and the bigger knife feels like it can do more work.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, John; I was kind of surprised to see what your preference turned out to be. :thumbsup::thumbsup:🤓

It doesn’t matter what knife/knives I decide to drop in my pocket. Some days I just don’t pull one out to actually use it.
And there are other days when something else gets heavy use. Yesterday, and likely today, was one of those days. I spent the day digging out weeds getting the garden beds ready, and used my homemade Hori Hori knife, which is a traditional Japanese garden knife.3920C7DA-AE0D-498A-92CD-56249831BBAA.jpeg I ground it out of an old carbon steel heavy mower blade. Really great tool. Sorry about the dried mud on the Hickory handle!
I got roughly half of the garden done, but since it was ninety degrees (farenheit For you Euros) I came close to giving myself a case of heat stroke. Maybe today I’ll just plant these beds, and tackle the rest on a cooler day.
