Evening Porch-ites. Here's my WW contribution. I took the buffer to the bolster and shield, very happy with the outcome. I really need to treat that cedar railing

No need to go overboard.

I think your knife looks nicer now.

Sorry for your loss Mr P, that's a nice post

Thank you Mr. Jack. She was a small lady. I doubt she ever weighed over a 100 pounds. Born a country girl and the youngest of nine children. As she learned to talk, the Great Depression took hold of the country. She had many fabulous stories and old sayings, which she frequently loved to tell.

A fantastic cook and had a very very large sweet tooth, similar to somebody else I know. She most always told that she loved to cook (and it showed), but, at the age of 89 she declared her kitchen closed. I think it was, in large part, related to her declining memory. She found an old wooden plaque somewhere, which said "Kitchen Closed - this cooks had it !" and propped it up on her stove top. And that was the end of her family famous meals. After the kitchen closed, she used her never used again oven to store all of her sweets.

My condolences to you. I lost my mom to cancer almost a year ago. I miss her so much. I do carry her knife from time to time, and I look at it often.

My condolences to you as well and thank you. I expect most mothers are special to their families and it's a hard loss when they pass.

A beautiful tribute Mr P. God bless our sweet mothers.

Thank you Dwight ! Sweet indeed !

Primble
Lovely tribute to your mom!

Carrying my Boker Club and Northwoods Fall Creek. The pocket sheath, from @Sharp & Fiery, is a work of art and a great way to carry the little Wharncliffe.

Thank you Gary ! Two fine carries for you today !

Nice tribute to your mom ! I lost mine a few months ago to pulmonary fibrosis

Sorry to hear that my friend. I think of my mom most days, but, starting yesterday, the anniversary of her passing made me think a lot more about her. I expect it is similar for you.

Nice, Rob. And I see the love of Primble runs in your dna.

For her, it was more about the using it than the name, but, she knew the brand. I once gave her some fine and rather expensive German made kitchen knives for Christmas. Later on, I kept noticing that the old Primble hickory was still her knife of choice. I asked her why she didn't give the others a fair try, and she said they were too heavy and bulky and the one she had was just fine.

I suppose I could have learned something from that, but, obviously I didn't. She had lots of shoes and I have maybe a half dozen pairs.

This is just awesome all around. I'm sorry for your loss.

I appreciate that !

Thanks for all the emojis and quotes from everyone today. I hope I didn't leave anyone out and apologize if I overlooked any quotes.

I used the old Primble hickory knife to slice and dice up a watermelon this afternoon.

When I look through this thread it makes me realize that I really don't belong on the same internet as a lot of you. You as a group have and show such incredible stuff. Yet here I am and here I shall continue to appear.

Today was this USA made Sears Craftsman. It's actually a decent enough knife, solid lockup, no blade wobbles and it is a nice using size.

Looks Camillus-made.

Just a MAM sheepsfoot. I find that the more "square " handle shape feels "better " than the round opinel.
On one of my days off, I might flatten the sides of the opinel a bit, to improve the feel of it.

And here I thought it looks cheap and trashy!


Magnificent Cattle Knife, echoscout!
Who’s the maker?

Today, I have my Lambfoot, which was a gift from my friend across the border in Wisconsin. He also sent a series of massive thunderstorms, which rolled down out of the north. Monday night, after the girls were in bed, I dragged a chair into the backyard and watched a spectacular lightning show. When the lighrning bolts were so close that it looked like they were at the barn across the field, and I could hear that sizzling sound right before the crackling boom, I thought it would be smart to retreat to the house. And Harry sent another wave of storms yesterday afternoon, which set off the flash flood warnings. My garden thanks you, Old Engineer !View attachment 1863126

You are very welcome my friend . I hope that you enjoyed it and that they helped your garden too . We certainly needed it here too . The corn in the fields around us was starting to curl .

I enjoy the variety of knives displayed here. Lots of GEC (I’m sure they are as nice as shown But I haven’t had one yet), but it’s nice to see a lot of the common folks knives too. Schrade and Camillus and Case and Buck are the workhorses of America. Throw in a little Swiss Army knives for flavor. Thanks to all for sharing.

Texas Jack is back in pocket.

I'm only toting one (Joel Chamblin), but I thought I'd show my other custom modern traditionals.
- On the left, a Joel Chamblin slip joint with a hand-rubbed and satin finish modified Wharncliffe blade with harpoon swedge in CPM 154, and covers are lightening strike CF with copper threads;
- On the right, a slip joint by Alan Davis with a blade of Vegas Forge carbon Damascus and carved Elkhorn covers;
- On the bottom is my newest baby, a slip joint by Vincenzo Balistreri featuring a "Munin" pattern Damasteel blade in a modified sheep's foot, woolly mammoth ivory covers with a brass mosaic shield, and a mammoth lanyard bead. Oh, the watch is my modest Patek Philippe Aquanaut.
