[Jon0385]

I’m going to carry this knife the rest of October

[Old Engineer]

When I pick out the knife or in some cases knives for the day, I try to choose based on what I might be doing. That’s why I usually choose a multiblade. I made due with the Lambfoot today.

Thanks, Harry…it’s a pleasure to have along for the ride any day of the week.

This light user arrived today and will be a welcome addition to the rotation after a thorough spa treatment.

I am surprised that almond milking throws up so much dust!

I hear they they put up quite a fight when you’re trying to get the milking machine on their teats.

Took this photo after lunch, took a day off from a teacher’s workshop. After 32 years, if I don’t know what I’m doing yet, I never will! View attachment 1952308

Great lines on that knife Ed I do wish the morons in Boker's marketing department would ask their excellent cutlers to explain what a Barlow is

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Quite the excellent pair of Saturday stag covered slicers, Jack; hilarious raffle ticket to go with your cool cutters, too!

Many thanks JJ, the raffle ticket sticker came in a care package, with the knife, from Barrett btb01 I'm saving it for when I finally get round to purchasing a new refrigerator

Toting these two Sheffield slicers today, the Bagpipe Ebony from Jack Black .

Happy Double Lambsfoot Day my friend

Have a great Sunday everyone I'm carrying my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot, and my Todd Davison Sheepie

Camillus Lineman ….I am amazed by the f&f on what was a working man’s everyday knife. One of my absolute favorites….

Spring is here and a surprise in the garden this morning….

That is a nice knife,what’s the snake is it dangerous?

 

[Johnnythefox]

LT Wright stag small fixed blade. Found a thicket of arrow wood viburnum in the middle of the woods, cut some straight shoots to make arrows.
After the shoots season for about 5 months I'll remove the bark, reduce to proper diameter and straighten with heat. They make good, durable primitive style arrows.

Great knife,great story perhaps you can show us the arrow making as you go along?

 

[Truggers]

That is a nice knife,what’s the snake is it dangerous?

Thanks.

No, it’s a Diamond Python….very placid and was just heading towards our pond when our cat decided to investigate it…they didn’t like each other much

Dangerous or not, I wouldn't fancy going mowing there or taking a stroll on the lawn at night...

That thing could likely swallow your Cat...mine would be the same, arrogance is dangerous but she prefers smaller venomous snakes that she delights in be-heading

Really like that, a beautiful small knife that suggests real in hand comfort when using it. Impressive Now I want one!

Could you say what model it is please?

Thanks, Will

 

[5K Qs]

Still a favorite. Took this picture, but I didn’t think I was going to get to “post it”
Have a great day everyone. View attachment 1950473

Good one, Todd, both joke and knife! That spearpoint equal-end Böker is world-class.

...

It's sort of weird to have a knife again. We just spent 2 weeks in the hospital where @MrsR&T had an emergency c-section and at just under 34 weeks along a 4lb 2.1oz baby boy. He'll have to stay in NICU for several weeks before going home with his adoptive parents. We're visiting regularly and will be a part of his life.

We are doing better and better each day, thankyou!

Congrats on the new baby!
I hope the little boy and the birth mother both continue to improve rapidly!

Moki VG10 ….not sure of the model but I think of it as my ‘gentleman’s‘ folder.
In terms of fit & finish it is easily my best knife….I mostly own vintage slip joints and only a couple of GEC’s and I have to say it beats those quite comfortably.

...

Your Moki drop point lockback curved Barlow is superb; what a looker!

Three striking Spaniards Gary

Hope everyone has had a good week

Thanks, Jack; a Joker you have (had?) inspired me to look for something similar when I was in Spain.
Laudable ligneous pair you've posted!

Thank you, Gary. Yes, the years are rolling along. Two of my five children have grown taller than me and the third will probably eclipse me in a couple of years. One should be driving before the year is out. . .

It all happens so fast, when you look back; enjoy them while you can!

My VRA specialists are an odd combination of old and new school. They have email for making appointments, but if you have a question you have to call. I got the call about the retina pictures with dye, and there's no need for treatment. I go back in April for another look with dilation, but without the Clockwork Orange stuff. (Branch vein occlusion, no significant swelling and not in my field of vision.)

Yes, my zytel is a 47. It's all right, but it was more expensive I think it should have been. Even though it was on sale.

I'm sticking with the big Camillus today. I scoured some fuzzy rust off the inside of the backsprings yesterday and rinsed it with vinegar and lemon juice. I keep opening it up to admire the new blue sheen.

I remember when the TV broadcasts of NASA manned space flights would have officials intoning, "All systems are go". But as humans age, not all systems are go, that's for sure.
My recollection is that I considered my Case Caliber knives to be priced appropriately, and I'm quite pleased with the knives (a 47 like yours and a muskrat), but I almost never have occasion to work a knife hard.
A person certainly is entitled to enjoy the fruits of their labors!

I'm the same way, Gary. My wife is always rolling her eyes as I am meeting and talking to new people everywhere we go.

Actually, my wife is probably the more outgoing of the two of us, so maybe she rolls her eyes at my feeble attempts in an area where I'm not very gifted.

...

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…
“You’re not going to wear that hat, are you?View attachment 1951314

The surprise for me is that we've never planted them, but they keep showing up. We often neglect the last couple that then get real tall and eventually develop a few little brown pods at the top. Maybe they plant themselves with seed from those pods.

At least with that question from your wife, you know what answer she wants to hear. It's the "Are you going to wear that hat?" that gets me in trouble because I mistakenly think I can answer either way without any consequences.

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.

My adult daughter is still very uncomfortable around swans because of experiences with aggressive swans on our vacations when she was young.

some nice choices.

Thanks!

black & white Friday …

That knife looks great in monochrome OR Kodachrome! (If you're too young to remember it, you can look up Kodachrome)

When I pick out the knife or in some cases knives for the day, I try to choose based on what I might be doing. That’s why I usually choose a multiblade. I made due with the Lambfoot today.

What a sublime knife!

Can't go wrong with a splendid sowbelly stockman like that!

I grabbed these two Case cutters today.

Success is assured with that pair on the Case, JJ!

An Oregon Trapper accompanied me through the fields and forest today.

I think the f&f is better on yours.

Thank you Gary, I'm honoured I've mainly carried this one:

But I also have this Joker too

I like the top model, in carbon, best, and have bought quite a few to gift to friends

Stellar stag pair, Jack!

Thanks again my friend
