Thanks, Todd.

 

[TheFactor]

Thanks Jack, no problems, just a new schedule.

Congratulations buddy!

Nice pictures Ed, those tacos and that knife look great.

Nice tote Bart.

Thanks Todd !
It’s my favorite
Tacos weren’t to shabby either
Gotta love vacations

Have a good day everyone

I just could not help myself in the shop, these are so affordable, work so well and are comfortable to use and carry. A masterpiece of standardized production, dull (not the edge) and reliable.

Starting off with this one, (thanks @Modoc ED) Beautiful dark chestnut CV mini trapper, but it looks a little naked, need to get that patina started.

Rich, ravishing chestnut, Todd! My mini trapper similar to that has patina only on the spey blade; I guess my blade preference is pretty obvious for that pair.

Terrific trio of knives, Jeff! I hope you're not hitting that jug too hard while you're carrying that fixed blade!

Good Morning Porch Friends

You're a good citizen, John, observing all the community rituals with your knife choices!

We did Jack! We spent the day in one of the new VIP suites, attending a family birthday celebration. It was a nice way to lose money at the track!

Oh, you were WATCHING races. I thought you were RUNNING races as a new hobby, Gary!

Thanks. The baseball leather was bonded with additional leather to provide more structure. I love it

Thanks!

Notable pair, Steve! Grand blade combo on the trapper jack, and sensational covers.

I’ve had that same thought when using an Opinel, GT.
...
Hope you’re having (had?) a nice vacation, GT!

I had a #13 Whittler and a MAM with me today.
...

Thanks, Barrett; still on vacation for a couple more days.
Nice MAM! I'm not as impressed with my MAM knives as I am with my Opinels, but the MAMs are still very likable knives IMHO.

Thanks a lot, Gary!!! I can't believe I wrote "Barlow" instead of Lambsfoot

I can't believe I didn't notice that! I had to go back and check.

It is a bit unique and I came across another one that I probably spent too much on.... Hopefully coming soon to this thread soon.

I was thinking the same thing, that they are a Barlow in a way, with a longer bolster!

Looking forward to seeing what you got, Steve.

I trust a couple of them will find their way home with you.

They're nice mugs (with a little "lip drippage" though), but my actions are ruled by the dictum, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

I like it!!!

Feel free to revise it to "scan" better; I'm not much of a poet.

Thanks, Gary. I’m enjoying the Ettrick.

We tag our calves as they are born (before they get too fast) with a tag that corresponds to the cow. Then they get the e-id before we sell them.

Interesting info. I was thinking about old dairy farm issues while I was taking a walk yesterday, and came up with lots of common situations for which I no longer remember the details.

...

Thanks Gary, it was a gift, many years ago from Papa Andi

Have a good day everyone

Nice gift; Andi hasn't dropped by in quite some time.
That would probably be a popular mug here on The Porch.
Do you think grumpiness is enhanced by being grumpy ALL the time, or is sporadic, unpredictable grumpiness a higher form of being grumpy?

You got hold of a very fine user example, it's better than mint because you can add to its history yourself

It's a pattern I'd like GEC to visit again, but then if they do, it'll be close to the 300 mark and gone before they're even in their delivery packets...

Finding an original run like that is lucky.

I have two with me for now.

Thanks Gary, and I agree about the MT’s Spey blade. It’s the most used secondary blade for me too, so easy to pinch open.

Back to work so my posting schedule is all messed up! Hope you all had a great day. View attachment 1903126

Hope your first day back went well, Todd.

A couple of purpose driven knives today. I wanted to wait to take a picture because I have my knives on top of my closed laptop. I completed the last assignment for my bachelors degree! After 2 years I am done with classes. Maybe I’ll have some time to crave something up soon.

Congrats, Jon, that’s a major accomplishment.

Got the Schatt’s today…

Lol...

Good luck today with the new students, Todd.

Excellent pair, Greg.

Nice choice, Bart.

Hard to beat a Lambsfoot Big 'Un for just about anything.

Beautiful Trapper, GT.

Cool sticker... I guess you decided to go "positive" this morning.
