What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Tyson A Wright]

These two are very similar - nearly identical closed lengths, similar blade lengths (very similar if you only compare the length of the cutting edge), etc.

But also very different - a traditional Barlow with traditional materials vs. a non-pattern knife in modern stainless and Micarta.

I am glad that both of these exist in the world and that I get to carry them.

Finally acquired a slipjoint that feels "just right" in hand. (Not my photo but you get the idea). The Douk-Douk Le Thiers in Ebony wood.

So remember when we were kids chasing those little yellow and white “butterflies”?
Well, they are moths, and are hell on certain garden plants. They flit around looking for brassicas~ broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprout, collards, kale, etc, and lay their devil’s seed. The egg hatches into tiny green caterpillars which grow fast by eating the leaves of my plants. By the time the little bugger is almost an inch long, it will have the leaf stripped to a skeleton. I lost all of my brussels sprouts to them last year, but am waging war this year. I refuse to use insecticides, so I scoot along on my garden stool inspectecting each leaf on every targeted plant. Tedious, and an everyday chore. Probably should get some of that netting we used at the farm. Here’s a caterpillar attacking a brussel sprout plant:View attachment 1863965

But I found a new ally in the garden. And I am revising my hatred of yellowjackets. I found this guy eating one of tjose little devils~View attachment 1863976

It’s been a bit since I posted up. This has been takin up a lot of pocket time lately. A real favorite. View attachment 1864028

Patrick, I’m curious if you get those same worms on your broccoli just like Jeff??? Probably not- your broccoli looks better than the stuff he has in his garden- heck - it almost looks like a mini tree!

Look out for those wasps!

Glad to see you back posting. That pruner has soul for days.

Great pairing today Jeff!

I like that. Never seen one of those before. Is it just a slip joint?

Yes, this one is but they also have a lockback version too.

Edit to add: The model is a Durand Boxer

View attachment 1864515I'll still have the "normal" 3 SAK's, Leatherman, and the Toferner on me.
View attachment 1864516I'm so ... "lucky" ... ge ... have ... to go see the vampirettes for a 08:00 appointment tomorrow Friday. Naturally that means no food or H²O or other beverage after 23:59:59 today.
Oh well ... at least the vampirettes are exceptionally quite easy on the eyes. (what a shock)
