I see critters in that lamb's wood covers Mr. Jack. Maybe an Antelope's head or something like it? Ohh no, not again. 🤣 Beautiful wood !

This one hasn’t surfaced in a while, feel free to fire it back up! My old post looks to have lost its pic somewhere along the way, it seems, but I’ve got at least a few of each to add in there as well!

The Guitars (or any other musical instrument) and Traditional Knives Picture Thread

A few of us were posting knives with guitars in the "What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?" thread and I thought it would be nice to have a thread of pictures of traditional knives and musical instruments. Post what ever you play (or don't play) with a traditional knife from an Alembic...

In Mississippi they like to separate the city slickers from the country folk.

Thanks for the ID, Jeff; amazing that you can even tell the variety from my photo! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: Maybe I should recommend these Guardsman green onions to the Guardians of the Lambsfoot. In my backyard, if I let them grow, the white part/bulb gets quite thick, and the green part/leaves/stem gets really tall. I usually use at least 6 inches more of the green than I showed in that photo.

You bet, my friend. It was easy to id because it’s the only green onion I planted this year.😛 Pick them young for the size you get at the store. Left to grow, the white end gets fat. If you want to get meticulous, periodically push soil up around the stems to blanch and get more white end.

My wife does the same…

Same knife as yesterday, but I thought I’d share something that surprised me as I’ve never seen a patina develop so quickly. The boss brought everyone sandwiches and potato salad for a crew meeting. I grabbed a ham and cheese along with a couple of those little Heinz mustard packets. There was nothing to spread the mustard, so I used my Johnny on the Spot. I sat the knife down while I ate my sandwich (10 minutes time), picked the knife up to wipe the blade with a moist towelette, and this is what I found…




I’ve forced a patina before, but never has it developed so quickly…evidently those little Heinz packets are the key to a rapid change lol, I’m just disappointed. I want some color and not this accidental, dark, blotchy, and boring look.

Are those swans on the water? Do they try to bully the cattle? The black cattle, white waterfowl, blue sky/water, and yellow 3318 make a great photo! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Thanks, Gary. Good eye. Yes, they are swans, but I’ve never seen them do anything with the cattle. I imagine when they’re nesting they might be a little aggressive.

Looks good with the patina starting. Fire before work, or do you have the day off?

Nothing planned today not even a run up to the mailbox. This Buck 501 should take care of whatever comes up. Sausage and eggs up for breakfast.

This has always been one of my favorite Bucks since I saw a friend carrying one in grad school and somehow it has evaded my collection. Maybe next year. Nice light in your pic, too!

That’s honest, user’s patina, and I don’t think it’s boring. I think one can usually tell a working patina from a fancy pants pretty one.😎

Jeff, the '18 forum knife is always a good choice!



It's a good way to be!

Yes, it certaibly is! I’ll be totin’ it for awhile, I think, because every night, when I clean and oil my totes, I see no need to choose something different.
Hey ~ did you know I was on the Design Team for that knife? 😎🤪
