Whittler and a Pruner today


View attachment 1833810

That's a swoopy lookin blade on that pruner Steve !

Good luck!

Pair sporting cherry wood for wooden Wednesday.

Thanks for the good luck wish my friend. It was a pretty morning, but, the fish must have been asleep. Love those cherry woods !

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.

Good luck, Rob!

Have a safe trip Jeff !

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

It was a nice early morning GT, but, no fish, not even a bite ! I got to get rid of all my lucky charms !

Wharncliffe Wednesday

You sure captured the shine on that one Brother Jim !

Holy smokes!! That Lloyd is absolutely gorgeous!!


Carrying this around today.

Now that is unusual and I like the finish !

Ditto with @Un-Chained. Hope all is well.

I miss Gus, his knives, his pictures, and his enthusiasm !
I am fond of my Blade Forum friends, but, the sad part is something can happen to anyone and we might not ever know about it.

Porch,

I would like to thank G Greasepiggy for a very fair deal on this wonderful carver. I’ve been seeking a pocket carver. The 62 has great ergonomics.

 

[5K Qs]

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.

Thanks, David; that red bone Case is one of my favorite canoes.
If you decide to get a canoe of your own, I'll bet you won't regret it!

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.
(Gilligan responding to the professor’s big words joke)

I know I've heard plenty of those "not only that" jokes before, but I don't think I was aware of the source. But now that you say it, I can imagine verbal exchanges like that between Gilligan and the Professor, or Gilligan and almost anyone.
(But I can also hear Maxwell Smart playing the Gilligan role in jokes like that.)

en homage to Wharncliffe Wednesday …

WW! That's an attractive pair of greenish Wharncliffe whittlers!!

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 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, a 10 yr old dude says thanks!

Well, Jon, you DID have a lot of more important stuff on your mind yesterday!
EDIT: OOPS! I got 2 different Jons mixed up- you're NOT the one who welcomed an early-arriving new son last night! More proof that my mind is mush!
Thanks for the "triple-G" kind words.

I checked out his profile and his last posting day in 2020 says he was hospitalized with COVID... I sure hope he's doing okay.

That's not the kind of "clue" we like to see showing up.

Both of my parents and my wife are from MI - my parents love to visit Traverse City whenever they go back.

I did no selling actually . I think the simple fact that it was much larger and could hold a lot more was the selling point - and I can’t argue with that logic!!

Good point, Jeremy; capacity could certainly be the characteristic of choice!

Toting these two handy wood wearing slicers today.

Sweet black/orange wood combo, JJ, with more blade variety than you can shake a stick at!

It was a nice early morning GT, but, no fish, not even a bite ! I got to get rid of all my lucky charms !

Fishing might be another of those activities, Rob, where the saying, "It's the thought that counts" is really relevant!

Hope you're having a great day Mr P

Steaming into June

Thank you Mr. Jack. I was steaming into June as well, 90 degrees today.
I wonder what those two rail men thought about your lambs foot propping up that big locomotive ?

 

[TheFactor]

 

[315]

Yesterdays carry. Since the forum went down I couldn’t post it so I’ll carry it again today.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Pt-Luso Fantastic that dark green Alox, José. I'll have to get myself a SAK in that colour, Pruner or single spring would be great

Thank you very much, Will. I hope you find one quickly.

 

[screened porch]

I probably don't really need both of these.

Maybe one of these:

Or, Kutmaster and Gebr. Hoppe!

 

[Pt-Luso]

I carry today this A.Wright & Son Lambsfoot in stag.

 

[ferider]

Any chance the rest of the car will make an appearance? With a knife of course…

And the suspense continues .....

Just kidding. It's a 54 Tin Woody, that my wife fell in love with.

[sbh06]

Looks like I missed the wharncliffe memo for yesterday. Better late than, well, you know...

 

[Old Engineer]

Did not get to post yesterdays carry due to Blade Forums being down so I will post it today .


And I will carry the Farmers Jack today . Will be Out and About so I will not carry my $ 28 Plus Freight Pruner.
Have a great day my friends .
Amir Fleschwund : Have a Safe and a very enjoyable trip Jeff .

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”.

Nice pairing Jeff That's a good hat, Osh Kosh always reminds me of my eldest daughter, when she was a toddler, she had a whole bunch of their dungarees, including a set that would matched your hat! I don't think my girlfriend likes a single one of my hats!

Very cool John

They are certainly very special pieces!

Thank you most kindly, Jack!!!

The perfect wood covered HHB beauty for the start of your Summer adventures; their is something very cool about the classic steam locomotives, too!

Thank you very much JJ, I reckon I am due a few adventures! Due a ride on a steam train I reckon too Maybe when Merle gets here

Toting these two handy wood wearing slicers today.

Wonderful Wooden Wednesday choices my friend, both great patterns

Nice
I don't think I have met a hat or cap the wife really likes. The lukewarm "it's okay" is not very convincing

I can relate!

Thank you Mr. Jack. I was steaming into June as well, 90 degrees today.
I wonder what those two rail men thought about your lambs foot propping up that big locomotive ?

Yikes! That's pretty steamy! How was the fishing? They're probably glad it's not laid across the line!

BF has been down all morning here, and only recently came back online. Just my Hartshead Barlow, in stag, today

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

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"!


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


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


Sounds like a good idea, John.
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.


I always admire that jigged wood pair!


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?


Have a safe and enjoyable trip!


Good wood (walnut IIRC) on that lambsfoot!

- GT

This one is the A.Wright Lambfoot that Harry gave me. It’s rosewood. You’re thinking of my other LF...

Nice
I don't think I have met a hat or cap the wife really likes. The lukewarm "it's okay" is not very convincing

Ha! Just watch out for the “It’s fine”!

That's a swoopy lookin blade on that pruner Steve !

[afishhunter]

As it the first, I guess I'll go back to these until the TC Barlow I won Tuesday last gets here. I'll switch the dedicated slicers to it and my Harness Jack then.

My favorites out of all of yours, my friend.

Thanks, Jack.
I believe Osh Kosh only makes children’s clothing now...


Just this for now. I have a few pocket knives packed. I hope I don’t forget about this in my pocket, and lose it to the TSA goons at the airport!
