What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Wow, great job Jon! What grit did you use and did you put some wax on it when you were finished? 👍
Thanks! It was a fun little project. Dry sand paper - 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, then a white Scotch Brite pad. Finished it by flitzing the bolsters, shield, and Micarta - applied with with the white pad.

Thanks, Todd.
Safe travels home, my friend. 🤠:thumbsup:
Thanks, John. Made it back last night,

Good Morning Porch Friends
Going on a weekend getaway with my wife.
I'll be doing a little fishing while I'm away. Packing my secret weapons.

A getaway with the wife that involves fishing sounds great. I hope you are enjoying yourselves.

Posting again just because Pujols hit 700
What a game last night. Lots of love for Pujols there and nice seeing the Dodgers get beat.
We have returned from camping in the mountains of Colorado, and here is the promised photo dump. I'm not even gonna try to catch up with this thread, but rather trust that you all behaved at least somewhat in my absence ;).
Fist campsite above Nederland. Haul a kid up a mountain and light him a nice fire, and he will ask for his Ipad :rolleyes:

Beginning of a hike at Brainerd Lake. Don't be too jealous, weather turned to a 48 degree rain right after I snapped this pic, it was hard going and we turned back after 1/2 mile.

Our second camp at Moraine in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park was already occupied when we arrived. I love walk-in campsites, and have always been of the opinion that walking in keeps stupid out. Pretty sure 100/100 of the world's best campsites are walk-ins.

Why bring knives? In case you leave your tent pegs at a campsite... My whittled model actually works MUCH better than the aluminum stakes I lost 😁

Time for some coffee, nice view from the table

Shanks! I feel that five was a good number to bring, in the name of packing light 🤣. Not pictured is the Plumb Scout axe I used for firewood. Because although I do baton, I don't hate my knives and have no intention of pushing them beyond reasonable limits.
