What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[drj211]

It’s sporting clays day again. It’s been very hot and humid here, so today I put this one in my pocket. Not much seems to hurt these!

It’s a real beaut, Clark

Thanks, but that’s something I can live without!



I sure hope they let you renew your driver’s license, Barret!

You sure? It was a pretty good sausage roll.

Renewing my license was (mostly) a painless experience. I wondered if there would be some sort of fine or penalty, because it had technically expired on my birthday a couple weeks ago, but they didn’t seem to notice/care.

Oh yeah, I'd never delete a food picture.

It’s important to have priorities.

Heading out early to my local market tomorrow, with some quality stag Hope everyone has a great Thursday

Nice pair, Jack! You really shouldn’t steal from restaurants, but considering that one closed 40 years ago, you’re probably ok.

Hiking with the kids at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park today. Picked up a coin and a park stamp, cool. The gec 71 is a great hiking knife.

Nice pic! Those Field Notes National Park editions are pretty cool.

Does this pic show up for y’all? It’s showing as an X for me unless I click on it.

Just seeing the red X here (except when I quote it). This was a problem a while back, too, and I think it was only ever partially solved (if that). There are some threads in Tech Support about it. It’s definitely frustrating.

Went with a 2015 71 today. Got the upcoming 71 with cap lifter in sight.

GEC needs to get back to using Nifebrite!

Albers Cut Co. Jack today. E.A. sure did put a fine edge on it. :

Great pic! Eric does put a pretty nice edge on them. Unlike some other brands, I haven’t felt the need/desire to sharpen any of my Albers to my liking before carrying them.

I’ve got these two in my pocket today.

 

[JOELSM]

Well done.

 

[JM2]

Oh okay, it’s a sight problem I reckon. If you click on the X you can see the pic. Dagnabid technology.

Texas Jack is a great pattern

Haha! I know what you mean, though I wouldn't say they look that bad. I do like to fashion replacement shields for those that lost 'em.
I can get Bokers for a bargain when they've lost their shield, and circles are pretty easy. I think I'll pull this one out for Old Friends Friday tomorrow:

You did a great job of that one Rachel

Work carry. Tend to carry a small non threatening folder for use around customers and the office.

That sure beats my old sawed off head of a roofing nail ploy.

Whatever works!

Thanks, guys!

There's a bakery almost next-door to our house, and my wife often buys day-old bread, cookies, and other baked goods for a discount.
How about some week-old posts, no charge??

Andy Fannin built me two outstanding knives here. View attachment 1864354View attachment 1864355View attachment 1864353

Captivating couple of cobra customs!!

A thoughtful fellow porch member gifted me this snappy little Boker Barlow. Thanks John, , it deserves more pocket time on my end.
Queen made Winchester moose pattern also rode in my pocket today .
View attachment 1864478

Congrats on the gift Böker, Greg!
That round bolstered golden moose is a beauty!

...
I have one of those Gary When it arrived, it was a much bigger knife than I had been expecting!

Cool knife, Jack!!
You certainly didn't expect a pattern called "moose" to be petite, did you??

Thanks for sharing that. I’d never heard that song strangely because I listen to bluegrass. The girl in the first video, neat to see it looks like her hand slips there at the end and she just kept right on going.

Yeah, that video was enjoyable! I also thought the girl lost hold of the neck of her banjo near the end, but it didn't throw her off at all. When she sang a verse, her voice was not what I was expecting at all.

So glad you enjoyed it. I did too and kinda went down a rabbit hole on youtube listening to some ole-time banjo and fiddle LOL
It all gets lumped together as bluegrass but technically as master banjo player and former coal miner Lee Sexton (rest in peace) explains it, the music is different from bluegrass
While Lee loved bluegrass, this music and the music he was raised on and learned, is what he and others call East Kentucky old-time traditional

The girl on banjo in the first video is Nora Brown. She studied with both Lee Sexton and master banjo player and historian George Gibson among others
The girl playing fiddle with Nora in the first video is Stephanie Coleman

Thanks for the extra music info, Jim!

A little collab between @Spikediesel and myself

WW!! There's a dream of a SAK!!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Primo Peanut, Tim!

I've carried this one every day for about two weeks straight, since the day it arrived. Just a great size, look, and feel. Happy Friday, all!

That canoe is a champ!

Thanks gents! My collection hasn’t been very organized lately and I’ve been doing some reorganizing and re-evaluating. I need to sell some stuff and I’d kinda forgotten about the the Wharncliffe copperlock, that one will be staying.

I thought you were supposed to have a relaxing summer; sounds like you have busy, intense times ahead, Todd!

I don't know that I ever had black raspberries Sounds good View attachment 1865148
These are their cousin, wild blackberries. Or at least I think they're blackberries.

'Nuts and berries are delicious and nutritious, Mike!

As a geeky engineer, I just love that bridge
Did you ride across it?
I rode across the Mackinac Bridge twice on a '75 Yamaha XS 650. Kind of a thrill, truth be told

Superb photos of "Big Mac", Mike!
In a car, I was nervous the first few times I drove across. Even now, after having driven across dozens of times in the past 30 years, I still don't like driving on those grates in the center lanes. I think I can feel my tires squirming around on that steel like they're "hydroplaning" in a rainstorm.

This is my plan for tomorrow Have a great weekend everyone

Outstanding trio for last Saturday, Jack! Do I see the memorable Abbeydale Jack there?

Iris and I admire those GEC #88s!

My front yard garden.

Fancy flowers, and your sleeveboard 26 fits right in, adding to the visual appeal!

Yeah, those sure look like blackberries...
I have both. The wild black raspberries always start ripening on 4th of July weekendView attachment 1865694
The blackberries not til August. They look like this now...View attachment 1865695

Here are the leaflets. Blk rasp on the left, blk berries on the right. The two lower leaves are separate on blackberries, while on black raspberries they are part of the other leaves.View attachment 1865696

Today, it’s the old Schrade 804 that HalfStop gave me.View attachment 1865702

Have a great Saturday!

Thanks for the info about the 2 types of berries, Jeff. We had raspberries, black and red (and straw), in the yard when I was a lad, but not blackberries.
Great that you have that whittler as a memento of Ron!

With this old unbranded in stag today.

Splendid stag on that knife, José!

When I was 21, I lived near a bakery like that. It stayed open until midnight, and by 11.00pm, they'd already marked everything down to half price, so me and my girlfriend would go and buy all the cream-cakes!

Cool knife, Jack!!

Thanks Gary The site I bought it from only showed it closed, and I thought it was a Penknife!

Outstanding trio for last Saturday, Jack! Do I see the memorable Abbeydale Jack there?

Thanks again my friend, you do indeed
