What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Carboniferous]

Like the clean lines. What's the pull weight (old arthrtic hands) ?

Definitely not a nail breaker, I'd say something like a 5/10. Spring doesn't feel weak but not a struggle at all to open. Walk isn't great but it's a cheap knife, and I've only handled one example so can't speak to typical smoothness.

Cub Scout knives to me seem to be the perfect size for summertime.

Absolutely!

The family and I have been enjoying our week back home in Arkansas. A lot of the goings-on have just been spending time with family and friends and doing stuff for the kids, so I’ll just keep sharing food and drink pics.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with my best friend since high school. We had Tex-Mex for lunch. I couldn’t decide between nachos and tamales, so I got both. (Yes, it was too much food.) Then we hit up a couple local breweries. I had a #77 Barlow and my tortoise shell Beer Scout with me.

Fantastic pics, Barrett. What a way to spend the day, everything looks extremely appetizing and the knives are 1st rate.

Something special for today.

That certainly is something special, Paul. Fantastic stag and a nice knife pattern, recovered?

Looks like it was made yesterday, Greg, but since PAL took over Remington’s knife production so Rem could concentrate on ammunition during WWII, I think the PAL would prefer to be paired up with a steel 1911 rather than that plastic thing from Austria!

Thanks, Jeff. I don't think the knife was used before it came into my possession. Although a 1911 might be a more suitable pairing I'll offer up an excuse for my actions.
My paternal grandparents ancestors immigrated here from Austria and Switzerland but like the Sig my grandparents and their future generations have been made in USA.
That's my story and I'm stick'n to it.

Carried the sweet yet chunky Pal Cut Co knife again today.

Oh my gosh that sounds good View attachment 1897051

Anything that involves peppers wrapped in bacon is good

Thanks. Yes, Glennbad did the stag.

I never carried this in the years I've had it. Now three days in a row.

Late to post today, due to vacation wi-fi on the fritz until now. (True confession: once I noticed I had a connection, the first thing I did was today's Wordle before it expired. )
Böker Magnum scout (thanks, Greg):


My daughter got this for me from the workshop of Mariano Zamorano in Toledo Spain, but I'm convinced it's a Salamandra production knife that MZ put his monogram on:

Really like that Boker — nice to see a camp knife that includes a punch and bail In the mix.

A little sad to find out that the newer Klein Electrician's Knives are no longer made in the US. Here's my Utica-made Klein, hanging out with my usual Proper.

Make some bacon wrapped, stuffed peppers. Taking all the seeds out of them renders them almost harmless. Just enough flavor to go .... hmmmm...
I've been doing boudin stuffed bacon wrapped peppers.... love em, and I don't really like things very spicy at all.

It tends to creep people out, but it's very handy.

I'm the only 1 in my family that really eats chillis, the wife will have a little. I used to grow them & give away most. I might have to start again, expensive here Jalapeños are $28 per kill only get a couple every so often.

Yes, I always trim out the seeds, which helps.
Here’s another way to ease the capsicum burn ~ stuff those chilis with a half and half mixture of cream cheese and your favorite shredded cheese. Line a grilling basket with foil, and put on the grill for awhile.

Hey! Maybe you guys know your hot peppers better than I.

Recognize these innocent looking little chocolaty colored spawns of Satan?
I did not source the seeds, or start the plants indoors ~ my friend did. And a couple of plants of this variety were mixed in with a flat of cayenne and serranos.

They look scary. It’s amazing that jalapenos are that hard to get down there, Mitch! I would think they’d grow ok.
And only one plant often pumps out dozens until frost. At one of the Mexican owned groceries I shop at, they have bins and bins of all kinds of chilis. Cheap, too.

Here are a few more shots of stuff out of my garden:
Time to can up some dill pickles, which is the best use of cucumbers, IMO.

I harvested my second garlic patch today. Sorted, washed, and bundled for hanging to dry.

Always save the biggest bulbs, or average sized bulbs that have exceptionally big cloves, for planting stock. That way, over time, you’ll develope your own strain that averages much larger than you started with.
You only have to spend money on garlic for planting once!
I have never grown garlic this big. Some are the size of baseballs. They will get planted in about two months for next year’s crop.
The small ones get cleaned up, separated, and go straight into a bin in the kitchen.
Good for low blood pressure...
