That'll pair great with your Lambsfoot pal!

Thank you, Jack... It did indeed.

Sounds like you had a fun week for sure.
Nothing better than seeing your kids having fun and learning lessons.

I love looking at your work, it has such a rustic Americana look to it. Simply wonderful.

Big Bay? Love it, great knife and yours is gorgeous.

My number one goal as a coach is to make sure my athletes still love the sport when the season is over. Way more important than winning.

I wish more youth coaches had your attitude.

First thing he asked when we got home was “wanna play catch?” So we did.

Priceless.
Enjoy those days, they don't last forever.

GEC did a fantastic job on those knives. I keep wanting to use mine, I really love it. But it's just so pretty that I haven't been brave enough to dirty it up yet. I'm happy to see you carrying yours.

They sure did John I know what you mean, I instinctively reach for my Lambsfoot though!

"Too pretty to use" says a friend of mine.
Send it to me. I'll dirty it up some and send it back

I instinctively reach for my Lambsfoot though!

I suffer from the same affliction.

Send it to me. I'll dirty it up some and send it back

But then it won't be all pretty and shiny.
But then I won't be afraid to use it any more.

And round and round it goes.

I have a lot of catching up to do, but I had a brief moment snap a picture of what I’m carrying. Thanks again Todd for the boker! I’m hoping we can bring our son home from the nicu today

That sharp pointy spatula is growing on me sir! After learning the history of that design/blade I am definitely adding to my list someday (my list seems to be getting longer in stead of shorter…)

Great photo!!
[In my best Steve Irwin voice] Ahhh yes, the mighty ‘gator in it’s natural habitat. A true specimen. Feared by animals and humans big and small and has the power to snap you in half with it’s jaws - now lets go poke it with a stick.

I hope everyone has a blessed/relaxing Sunday!

What's all the hoopla about texting anyway? Just call someone for gosh sake. Why text and get yer thumbs tired poking letters on the key pad? The dang things have wi-fi too. Why? I'ver got wi-fi here at the house.

My exact thoughts when texting first became available years ago. A coworker who had this new tech explained texting was all about convenience ... sending and receiving when it's good for you. Texting is in many ways selfish and impersonal ... but effective. Voice calls require more immediate attention, answer or mess with voice mail and a reply. Arthritis and short fingernails slowed my texting ability but nowadays you can dictate texts in most phones, brilliant until it leaves out a word and changes the entire meaning. Even if you don't have a data plan, the ability to access free wifi can be very useful when away from home and need to see a map or find the closest / best place to eat / cheapest gas. Carpe Diem!

… this old spirit … acquired long ago as part of a trade (a “toss in” the man said) … turned out to be a true gem. Stamp tells me pre-‘73, but it puts out a vibe that feels much older than that … wish it could talk …

I was really hoping he would have a coach that kept it fun and he did. They ended up winning a lot, too. He already can’t wait for next season. First thing he asked when we got home was “wanna play catch?” So we did.

When it’s fun, winning takes care of itself. So glad you guys had a great experience.

I wish more youth coaches had your attitude.

Thank you, but it took me some years to get over the “winning is everything” message I was brainwashed with when I participated in sports.
(I’ll get off my soapbox now)

That picture really shows off the texture in the Micarta on those two knives, well done.
Really hope Benjamin comes home today.

Such a cool photo John.

Dropping this one in the slip today, hope it doesn’t get lost in there!

Thanks, JW. The cougar clawed bone is attractive jigging IMO too.


USA made small carbon blade that I installed buckthorn scales on and made a leather & raw hide neck sheath for. It's a handy and light weight little fixed blade tote.
Klaas stag whittler for the pocket.

Really nice work, Greg. Glad to see someone make good use of buckthorn.
