Two favorites today. Bonus shot of the mail call. For a knife that everyone talks bad about they don't come available all that often.

Niiiiice. Beautiful elk and sambar. The pile side in both are stunning. Thanks for the show! Definitely some great keepers!

Thanks, Jon! Hopin’ to see you score that Acorn!

Nice assortment of 12’s, Paul. Love this pattern!

Thank you! I do too, I’d like to see GEC do another run of them … not likely given their current “pattern” (yeah I did) but one can hope!

Grabbed a couple of old cocobolo cover workers today.

Happy National knife day

Sweet picture of some fantastic knives Jon.

Oh how I know, that bug bites hard!

Love the Little Valley product ! That Ulster is very nice too. Does the Catt have a model number stamped on it ?

 

[JonMcD]

Love both. But, the Osage Orange 29? Get outta here!!!

Yessir! Definitely a dark horse for the best GEC EDC IMO!

Since my rotation schedule "expired", I'm struggling with trying to decide what knives to carry each week or each day. I spent a couple of months, at least, cycling through a modified rotation schedule that emphasized carrying mostly knives that I've acquired since the start of 2020, but that was intended to be a "stopgap measure" until I worked out a new long term schedule. Still don't have the new schedule ready to go, but I've made some progress on "general principles" and should have the schedule completed and ready to use before the end of September.

But what to do until then? This week, I'm simply carrying the knives that usually live in a kitchen drawer when it's not their turn to be carried for a week. They've had regular kitchen duty for quite a while because I like using them for food prep. This week, I just grabbed all of them to stick in my pockets, bag, etc.

Two of those food-friendly knives are carbon steel Rough Riders, a sowbelly stockman and a folding hunter.

I don't know why, this 1 spoke to me today. Probably only used it once.
Superb bone on it.

Woo Hoo !!!! As I posted yesterday, we went to town for the first time in 6-days. The first stop was the Post Office and then we went to the Wagon Wheel Cafe for breakfast - 2-eggs up, hash browns, 4-sausage links, and toast. Well, we walked into the Wagon Wheel and all the tables were sparkling because all the tables had new coffee cups on them. Snazzy cups at that. So, I bought four of them and they're now living at our house. The rims of these cups flare out slightly which allows me to put the rim over my split-lip and take a sip or slug without having the coffee run down my chin. No need for a straw with these cups. Really enjoying my cup of coffee this morning.

That’s great, Ed.

recently, JonMcD stirred up some GEC #12 Toothpick love, which prompted me to dig out the few I have …

... as tempting as the others are, I think I'm going to stick with the Copperhead bone as my user for now. I did carry the Stag for a week or so back when I first got it, but as much as I like the look of the 'sabre' blade, the flat grind is a noticeably better slicer.
So #12 Copperhead bone toothpick in my pocket today ... you know, for "This is what I feel like carryin' Wednesday" ...

So Paul, I’m picking up clues that you like that one.

Thanks Todd
I almost always have a good time down there, although I'm a little bruised, battered and sore - two days brushing with a chainsaw, one day doing building repair (dropped a big ass board on my leg - the board was ok ), a slip and fall, and a six hundred mile drive - I'm not 60 anymore

Big boys do big boy stuff!

I went out to bring in a couple of Cherokee Chocolate termaters for our BLT sammiches for supper, and couldn’t help bringing this Dominico in also. According to Vik’s kitchen scale, it weighs 2 pounds, and 2.5 ounces. Camillus #1 Hawkbill pruner for scale.

I used the hawk to decapitate 10 or 12 heads of cauliflower, got them washed, chopped up, parboiled and packed away in the freezer.
Tomorrow, I really need to get on these tomatoes. I literally have wheelbarrows full.
I’ll can juice, sauce, and salsa, and freeze whole ones.


Today’s totes have their edges touched up, sticky residues from salad greens cleaned off, blades and joints lightly oiled with Norton’s, and tomorrow’s completely random totes are already in my blue jeans.
