What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

We went to town yesterday, grocery shopped til we dropped and laid in enough food and drink to fill our larder so, another trip to town won't be necessary until next Tuesday. Last night I polished off the heavy patina on my Bayou Trapper and sharpened it to prep it for carry over the next few days. Under the right light light there's still a ghost of a patina and the etches but I slicked it up pretty good. Shot a picture of it on the cover of the video "Hondo" a pretty good movie. "Dog" (that's what Hondo called the dog) was the best character in the video. Unfortunately, he was killed by an Apache spear.

You're too kind, Mike. 🤓 I like making little comments about some of the posts that "catch my fancy" for one reason or another, but I don't seem to have enough time to do it regularly the way I used to. Probably a combination of threads moving at faster pace than they used to, and me having other "demands" on my time than I used to.

Thanks for the kind remarks GARY . I first had Andechs and Paulaner Salvator in 2017 while in Germany . I do not drink much beer , but when I do , I like to drink a Double Bock . The Andechs is brewed at a functioning Monastery in Andechs , Germany and is available in the U.S.A. , but is very hard to find . The Paulaner is readily available around here . I have a Top 5 Beers For My Taste and they both are on it .
A view inside their church .
This is some of the stairs going up into the Belfrey .

A view from the Top of the Belfrey . When we were up there we noticed that it was about 10 to 12:00 and the Bells would be ringing soon . We made a quick trip back down .

A view of their Beer Garden where we had a great meal which included some Andechs and Apple Strudel .

I do not remember if I had a Knife in my pocket or not . I doubt it because of where we were .

Thanks for the bonus pics of your Germany trip, Harry! :cool::cool::thumbsup:
I've only been to Europe once, and spent the entire time I was there in Spain. I visited several cathedrals in Spain, and they were very majestic, with much more to see and appreciate than I could handle in a couple of hours! Here's a photo I took of the main altar in the cathedral in Toledo, Spain:

The cork-handled Mora I mentioned is a fixed blade and I don't know when I would carry it, but I certainly like the concept of a cork handle. 🤓

Thanks, Gary. Your parade looks similar to ours, but ours is only bikes and scooters.

I think the Hollyhock Parade has become "more sophisticated" over the years, as the kids' bikes were joined by a "marching band" (folks from the neighborhood who only play for the parade, I think), police cars and fire trucks, antique vehicles of various kinds, some commercial vehicles, and local politicians in convertibles.

2-Blade Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider smooth tobacco bone copperhead (thanks, Todd):

I have been Lurking but posting very little due to being very busy with outside work . Started to pressure wash our concrete patio and concrete driveway and discovered a fuel leak at the sediment bowl and ended up having to change the carburetor for less money than a bowl would have cost . Bowl cost would have been $40 and carburetor cost $20 . Go Figure that ???

Carrying this one today and finished another project .

Like this knife a lot thanks to some an enabler that I will not mention , but paulhilborn paulhilborn knows who it is .
Project was to make a safer way to get on and off the Zero Turn mower because I slipped and fell getting off . No harm caused by the slip .

My wife says that an 81 year old guy don't need to be doing all that stuff but I am not ready to sit around yet and I still have another day of pressure washing to do .
Edited to add : I have No Idea why the pictures do not show . They are now showing while I am editing this post .
