What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[r8shell]

Just caught up on about 80 pages in this thread. Sorry for all the like/replies to weeks-old posts! I need to do a better job keeping up!

I'll make a confession: When I'm that far behind, I just skip ahead. It reminds me too much of trying to catch up on reading assignments while new homework is piling up. Sorry, everyone.

They're cool knives, but not really the best designed fork, is it?

More of a pickle fork, I'd say.

Thanks again Rachel, it's always great to see you carrying that Big 'Un, and I love that pairing

Thanks, Jack. I do like to pair straight edges with curved; new with old, large with small, etc. I feel more prepared for whatever cutting tasks might arise. That big Lambsfoot fills the large straight edge role nicely.

Today:

I have a visitation to go to this afternoon for a good friend. I'm going to miss him a lot
Dave was always fun to be around. He was such a quick wit.
I think I'll carry this old Pal to see another old pal off.

My condolences.

I see no reason to switch those two out.

It's always fun to see your amazing #66 Jack, Jack.

everybody knows KC has the best barbecue

Agree. KC MO. and the rest of MO does have the best BB-Q sauce and shacks.

Good Morning Porch Friends

Good morning all. This 15 to start

Very understandable how this started your colabs obsession, Todd. Very nice!

Thanks Jim, they are like no other.

Half Congress and Farmers Jack today.

Wow, those are impressive Paul.

That’s something that’s been interesting for me here in Minnesota. Last year there was a big hubbub about Lake Minnetonka being several inches low, and they closed the dam, and Minnehaha Falls (which are part of the creek that flows out of Minnetonka) temporarily dried up.

The (man-made) lake I grew up on in Arkansas could fluctuate several feet. There’s a highway bridge over the part of the lake near where we lived, and the lake surface could be 15 feet or more from the bottom of the bridge, but when the water’s high it can get to where you can’t make it under the bridge in a boat.

Now that’s fluctuation! We just have a spillway so we don’t see anything like that.

My favorite KC BBQ - which means its my overall favorite since everybody knows KC has the best barbecue

I saw a story Friday on a local St. Louis station trying to claim they have better BBQ than KC. The mayor of KC wasn’t very happy with that claim!

I have a visitation to go to this afternoon for a good friend. I'm going to miss him a lot

My condolences Mike, a fitting tribute.

 

[bigfish64]

Probably won’t need anything other than this one today.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Enjoying carrying my Lambsfoot (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing )

Well, then call me Mr. Danger, Jack!

Sorry. Here’s to good memories.


John Primble Serpentine Jack, Taylor’s Eye Witness LF (don’t call me dangerous!), and in the interest of overdoing it to the point of absurdity, a third knife just for lopping off lettuces, spinach, and kale, and trimming baby beets and green onions for tonight’s salad. I could always just come in the house later and get the garden knife, but all three fit nice and snug in this home made cell phone belt sheath. It was perfect for my old Motorola flip phone, but I store that one with the buggy whips.

I will be trying to avoid indoor chores today, hope you all have a nice Sunday!

Sorry for your loss Mike

Thanks, Jack. I do like to pair straight edges with curved; new with old, large with small, etc. I feel more prepared for whatever cutting tasks might arise. That big Lambsfoot fills the large straight edge role nicely.

Today:

It makes sense Rachel, it seems many of us carrying more than one knife these days That's a wonderful Swanky Sunday pairing!

It's always fun to see your amazing #66 Jack, Jack.

Good Morning Porch Friends

Thank you very much my friend, I hope you have a fantastic day

Thanks a lot buddy, I love those two, how're you finding those sauces?

Haven’t tried the two milder ones yet, but I have a pork butt in fridge that’ll be going on the smoker overnight to make pulled pork for the week, so I’ll do a taste test of ‘em all together.

When I get back from Tennessee, I don't even try to catch up on this thread. I just dive back in

I'll make a confession: When I'm that far behind, I just skip ahead. It reminds me too much of trying to catch up on reading assignments while new homework is piling up. Sorry, everyone.

Yeah, normally I’ll go back maybe 10 pages and just catch up on the last couple days.

Gates!

My favorite KC BBQ - which means its my overall favorite since everybody knows KC has the best barbecue

The Extra Hot is certainly my favorite BBQ sauce. Had to order 12 bottles to get a reasonable per-bottle price, so I got a couple each of the others for the wife and kids. I think we’re set for a while.

It’s been years since I’ve actually eaten at Gates. Do they still yell at you demanding your order as soon as you step in the door?

Sorry to hear that Mike.

I see no reason to switch those two out.

That’s a fair point. I’ve never really been one to switch out on a daily basis, and I’ll usually carry the same knives for a least a few days, but if I go to long I start to feel guilty about all the other knives that want to be carried. Don’t want to hurt their feelings.

Now that’s fluctuation! We just have a spillway so we don’t see anything like that.

There was an old resort town called Monte Ne that had been in the river valley, which is now beneath the lake. Some of its stone structures, including an amphitheater, still exist underwater. It’s a popular spot with scuba divers, and when the water’s extremely low some parts rise above the lake’s surface.

Well, then call me Mr. Danger, Jack!

I wish my middle name was Danger (rather than Arthur)!

Haven’t tried the two milder ones yet, but I have a pork butt in fridge that’ll be going on the smoker overnight to make pulled pork for the week, so I’ll do a taste test of ‘em all together.

I'll look forward to your full report my friend

 

[JohnDF]

I hope you have a fantastic day

Thank you, Jack. You too, my friend.

Don’t want to hurt their feelings.

I know what you mean. they are a sensitive bunch, aren't they.

That one should check all the necessary boxes.

Some work in the yard waiting for me today.

That’s pretty cool Barrett, thanks for the link.

It never disappoints.
