Revisiting a former favorite today

[Primble]

Workin' on my "carve your own" cherry Carbone No. 8, on this cold morning. I plan to try to carve a curvy vine with berries, when I get the shaping finished.

I have already spent way too much time on this endeavor, which will probably never be repeated.

I like the colors, I've never even heard of a humpback stockman. I'm going to be looking those up now, thanks for sharing!

Pocketworn Harvest Orange humpback stockman (thanks, Mike):

No surprise its this one on a rainy day.










In between everything I am getting lots of responses from my old story's on the REME (Army) site







Everyone remembers me, I dont know what day it is without asking SIRI


I love the way things meander of course.




It goes like this...

Is that taff the rugby player?

Isnt that a rare Vickers Vigor dozer?

I hated those NBC suits

What year was this John

Do you remember so and so?

Why are you smiling?

I miss the smell of mouldy cam nets in the morning (there's always one)


Then people add there own story's.

I think its good for us all to reminisce and for a few moments we are 18,19,20+ again running around Germany having fun despite all the grief we got.

Good luck with your carving Primble , please show us when you're done? I always thought Opinels looked much better with a stain on the handle. The woods they use don't really darken with age, and that is about the only quibble I have with the venerable #8. I Let mine sit in a drawer un-oiled for so long it rusted shut, time to re-up.

The blades of yesterday. Took this pic and came inside intending to sit down at my laptop and take a nice leisurely half hour or so to sit on the Porch with ya'll, but of course on my way in the door I just *had* to check the exchange. Saw a fresh Davidson calling my name! So instead of posting, I had to scrape through every cash reserve in the house and run to the bank. Pictures after it arrives.

It's a town day and I'm gonna carry this Lambfoot. All the usual stops with a stop at the doctor for both Cindy and I for our quarterly check up.

I’ll be in the yard this afternoon, so I have a Craftsman with me today. This stockman will do today along with the Jackalope. Have a great one!

It will definitely be stained after I get finished. Just trying to get all of the curves right (to mimic the factory Opinel) has been a challenge. No doubt they have machinery to do all of the work that I am mostly doing by hand.

Regarding your Davison, I followed your footsteps and that is a fine looking custom. Congratulations and you are all the poorer for it, or richer, when it comes to your knife collection.

They are a very classic looking pair of knives.

Thank you very much!

This bit of gossamer for sure.

Hope you're kicking back Todd, nice pic

Thank you very much, and for your cool Old Sheffield sparkly slang!

Your cool pairing of the Big Un and the burly Buck are a match made in heaven; hope you had a super slicing Wednesday, too!

Many thanks my friend, I carried the big Lamb again today

Toting a big Barlow and a sleek Laguiole today.

I always enjoy seeing your stunning S & M Barlow JJ, and it pairs really well with that luscious Lag
