Thanks; it was a beautiful day. And you’re right about fishing. “Why switch over?” Good question with a simple answer. I can catch more trout in the dead of winter than I can crappie. Plus it’s a little change of pace and scenery, but come March I’m ready for crappie again.
Outstanding and a very good photo.Two Barlows today.
You are carrying how many knives?
only just 7 counting the SAK's and Scout knife.
Gadzooks!! Your chocolate-covered popcorn stag is incredible!
Gee Whillikers, Jeff, I'll bet you chose that Wagon Wheel because ED is always so well-SPOKEn!
Gee Whiz! That's how I felt in 2020, Todd, after 47 years of teaching, and then COVID hit and I found out I still had a LOT to learn!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

Glory Be!! Both knife and sketch are works of art!
Godfrey (Jack) Daniels!! Hope you had a great trip, Mike. That Tribal (mid)Lock is a Titanic knife!Tennessee is off to a 5-0 start and that's where I'm headed tomorrow morning. Y'all have a good week

Goldang!! Those are a couple of fabulous photos, and that red Alox Old Cross SAK is a treasure!Managed to scrape up eight keepers today. With a cold front, high pressure, blue bird day, it was pretty rough fishing, but it was still a beautiful Fall day with some color showing on the trees. Maybe another month of fishing and then we’ll have to switch over to trout in the mountain lakes until next March.
Good Golly!! Condolences on the Cardinals' playoff results, but I'd say it was a memorable season nonetheless, Jon!
Good Heavens, Jack, I know what you mean!! There are at least a couple of knives showing up here recently that are marketed as "Barlows" but don't fit the traditional definition.Great lines on that knife EdI do wish the morons in Boker's marketing department would ask their excellent cutlers to explain what a Barlow is

Have a great Sunday everyoneI'm carrying my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot, and my Todd Davison Sheepie
Gosh!! I suppose the F&F on my Case Calibers may be better than on yours, or alternatively, I may have shamefully low standards!I think the f&f is better on yours.
Sunday balls to the wall classiness before the Lord:
Sunday b
Gosh Darn, you've done it, Jack!! That top Joker was indeed my inspiration (although we may have decided that mine turned out to be a larger model than yours.)Thank you Gary, I'm honoured
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
Thanks again my friend
Great Balls of Fire, Rob!! Those certainly are striking autumn colors in your knives, and I think the Case Muskrat is breathtaking!Of all the knives that I own, these two best represent Autumn colors to me. The leaves are nearing their peak colors here, which has occurred must sooner than last year. Might be the dry September we had. Have a fine Sunday everyone.

Have Mercy!! I don't know how Jeff's post ended up attributing
Primble
's quote to me, but I agree with Jeff about the oddity of Kentucky having leaves nearing peak fall colors already, while southwest Michigan is at least 2 or 3 weeks from peak!Gracious Sakes!! That's a superb photo of that stag lockback, Alan!
Great Caesar's Ghost!! I often like the looks of Uncle Henry's Staglon better than a lot of real stag covers!
Great Scott!! Grand rehab you've done on that knife!
Thanks, Gary!
… and I sincerely wish I was so young that I needed to look up Kodachrome!
… and what would that say about the efforts of one Mr. Paul Simon? He even sang about it!
Hallelujah!! Thanks for the kind words; Richartz has a whale of a tang stamp!Cool couple of knives there Gary, I always enjoy seeing the Richartz 'Whale' logo

Hot Dang, Rachel, you sure can find the superannuated knives!! Congrats on another old beauty!I'm toting my "new" centenarian. Pre-1914, American Shear & Knife Co.
The broken pen makes a nice little coping blade.
Heck Fire!! Peach Seeds like I can't believe, Steve!
Thanks, Johnny.
Maybe I can get some pics of the various steps. I'll be sure to use some knives in the process.Thank you, Will.Really like that, a beautiful small knife that suggests real in hand comfort when using it. Impressive
Could you say what model it is please?
Thanks, Will
LT Wright 'Frontier First' model. Three finger grip, small knife but indeed very comfortable in hand while usingIt was a nice day, Gary.Looks like you and your beaver buddy had wonderful weather, Greg!

Started out cool in the morning and warmed up nicely by noon.I planted an Arrowood Viburnum years ago. I should try arrowmaking. In my spare time.I did the same a few years ago, Jeff. Planted two in hopes of getting some arrow shafts but they grew kinda wonky. I think since they were in the open and didn't have to reach up in competition for light there were few straight shoots.
Richartz & Okapi... Ha! Those two names are on my shelf too. Although my Richartz is of Swiss Army style, and my Okapi was made in Germany. Yours are very nice, and I really like the math tables. Maybe I'll break out the Richartz and actually carry it some day.
Oh man that’s so cool. Love the roof rack!And one more from this morning:
No, it’s basically a piece of culvert. They sell them at the farm supply store here in town.Looks great, Todd. Is that an old tractor rim? Another project on my list
Man, that’s pretty James.
Good point Gary, we all learned a thing or two during COVID.Gee Whiz! That's how I felt in 2020, Todd, after 47 years of teaching, and then COVID hit and I found out I still had a LOT to learn!

Great photo Jon.
