That is such an elegant looking Trapper. 🤠:thumbsup:
Nice of you to join us for Wharncliffe Wednesday. 🤠 :thumbsup:
No Schrade or Camillus for today?
Sadly, after the big sell-off and give-away, I only have two Schrade knives left... and one is pure eye candy and never gets carried.
 
Canoe of the Week is a 1975 Case:
GT, I've been resisting your canoe propaganda for a long time, but fine! You won me over with this Case. 😁 What a nice one.

Derrick mentions the Camel Bone at the end of his video from 2015
It's great to see Derrick come up in the feed today. I watched a ton of his clips when I was getting my sea legs in the hobby. I never got the chance to met him, but he was so personable on-screen that he seemed like a close friend. Cheers to him.
 
Since I had the operation for my jaw cancer a couple years back, I haven't paid much attention to my shop. Just take something out and toss it back in so, today I'm gonna give it a good going over and put things in their place. Got so bad it took me a half hour to find my battery fittings parts box yesterday when I put a new battery in the yard tractor/mower. I've got plenty of knives in the shop but have slipped this sowbelly in my pocket. After all, I gotta have a knife in my pocket between the house and shop.

Is it weird to quote your own post? Maybe I’m the first But I had to follow up. Tonight I looked around and found another box (why do I have so many boxes??) to trade with my son. It was a wolf box, from Traverse City if there are any Michiganders here, and he ran to his room to trade up so fast that he nearly tripped!
I'm from Michigan, Jeremy, and I've been to Traverse City, but I didn't know they had wolves there! Nor did I realize that a kid would MUCH prefer a Wolf box to an Elephant box; you must be quite a "salesman"! :cool:🤓

Thanks John and Todd! Everything is going well.

Congrats on the new addition to your family, Jon! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup: Looks like that young man couldn't bear to wait around until Independence Day to get his hands on a good knife! 😁

Headed out to do some fishing this morning. 🐋

Good to see that you're carrying some ID in case, heaven forbid, the boat goes down! o_O🤓
Hope you had an enjoyable time.

That's how I keep them in line. 🤣
I'm just lazy and the light is always good right there under the Maple tree.
Sounds like a good idea, John. :thumbsup::cool:
I wish I knew enough about photography to recognize good light when I see it, so that I could choose a go-to spot for knife photos.

Pair sporting cherry wood for wooden Wednesday.

I always admire that jigged wood pair! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

You’ll enjoy the slimline, but you should move south. We have leaves on our trees!
🤓 Once I have one photo of a knife that's actually in focus (sort of), I'll use it forever, Jeff! You'll rarely see knife pics from me that were taken the same day (or even same year) that I post them. Plus I kind of like that bare trees background; I wonder if I could erase the trapper and just insert the image of the knife of my choice somehow?

We are flying out to Colorado tomorrow~ my wife and daughter and I, plus her parents from here, and I also bought tickets for my three granddaughters to fly from Georgia. So I have a lot to get done today, primarily deciding which knives to pack in our checked bag! Now your cattle reminds that my old Craftsman (Camillus) cattle would be a good one to take. The only concern is some sticky fingered baggage handler or other mishap. The last time we flew to Colorado, my bag took a two or three day side trip to Houston.
There is always the idea that I should only pack knives I could replace...
Have a safe and enjoyable trip! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

View attachment 1833408I call this one KNIVES WITH FLOWERS.
My wife says the Siberian Iris are her favorites. Grandma’s legacy.View attachment 1833409I will call this one KNIVES WITH MY FAVORITE HAT.
My wife doesn’t like this hat. As for the knives, “that’s nice, dear”.
Good wood (walnut IIRC) on that lambsfoot! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

We will, thanks, Gary!
I knew that was not taken today. Since we’re close to the same latitude. Not only that, we’re almost as far north as you.

Good to see your boy enjoying his whittling, Jon, but neither the knife he has nor the GAW you mention ring a bell with me. I think someone else deserves the credit for giving Sam his knife! :thumbsup:🤓:thumbsup: (Or my memory is even worse than I realized!)

Whelp, you got me there GT. It’s my memory that’s slipping. I had to go back and look it up. That was a GAW by chuck4570 chuck4570 back in 2020. Looks like he hasn’t been on the forum since then.

Your goodheartedness and generosity ran a groove into my neurons that made me think of you…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

And if you are still out there chuck4570 chuck4570 , a 10 yr old dude says thanks!
