Great end of the week knives. I’m really starting to pay attention to edc fixed blades lately. You have a great stash. Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks Bob! I do believe I’ll be totin it again this week. It’s got me hooked.

I appreciate that sir!


Beautiful wood on that one Joshua! Great work!

Thank you!

Thanks Jeff !!! ... The decorative Antler Catchall I picked up this afternoon @ Tractor Supply while in for Mason's dog food
... the Camillus has been around slightly longer

What?!?!
Those moose antlers are store bought? Plastic imitation? Probably not even genuine Dupont Delrin.
And I figured you’d gone up to Maine and bagged a bull yourself

John Primble scout…..only gets light duties

Even though that knife is capable of heavy duty chores, I can’t blame you. It’s too nice.
Don’t tell Primble , but I only have one Primble knife~ a Belknap Hardware like yours. Schrade made version of their 124 Serpentine Jack. But it came to me well broken in, so I am cleared to use it without remorse.

That’s beautiful! Bocote?
I’d like to see the sheath…hint.

LOL! Yes, I only use clay ammo

“Less Than Lethal Rounds”. They’ll raise a welt, but not break the skin?

Thanks Bob, the Necco wafers are my mate H herder 's favourite I was glad to hear they're being made again

That brings back memories of being a candy wholesaler. I once asked a customer why he was ordering a box of Necco Wafers every week, since it never was a big seller. He let me in on the secret. Each wafer had the same weight and size of a US quarter dollar coin, and worked like a champ in the automated toll booths. Of course, in wet weather, they melted and made a gummy mess of the machines. That was before they went to electronic transponders to ding you for using their roads.

Speaking of H herder , he usually makes the trip down to the Badger Knife Show, so Old Engineer introduced me to Neal over pre-show breakfast. Nice guy with a lot of knife knowledge.

Last year, he and Barrett drove down together. Which was the first time I got to meet that young lad.

My brother sold me this improved trapper for a very fair price. This is its first time out with me. F & F are excellent. And well… hotdog.

 

[TylerG12]

Two beauties!

What pattern number is the bone knife?

I apologize. Just seen this. Thank you sir. It's a GEC 78.

I kept it nice and simple today.

Totin yesterday’s knives again.
When you buy bean seeds, sometimes you get little surprises.
Last year, I bought and planted an assortment of heirloom dry pole beans. At the end of the season, after the pods dried on the vines, I pulled the vines, which filled my wagon. and noticed that a few of the plants were bush, not pole beans, which should have been a clue. I pulled the wagon into the shade of the sugar maple, and over the next week, an hour or two at a time, shelled out the beans over a box. I ended up with Hidatsu Red Indian, Yellow Indian Woman, both from the Hidatsu tribe of North Dakota, Mayflower, which were supposed to be Jacob’s Cattle, but I’m very happy with, as they’re delicious, and according to legend, came over with the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. Then there were these. Only this few, but they turned out to be Tiger’s eye.
From a seed supplier~
“BEAN, BUSH DRY, 'TIGER'S EYE'
Also known as Pepa de Zappalo, this heirloom comes originally from Chile and Argentina. For those who value dry beans for their aesthetic beauty as well for their taste, Tiger's Eye is practically without peer. The large flat beans are mustard yellow with burgundy swirls. Worth growing for their beauty alone, the rich flavor seals the deal. Good as shelly beans, in soups, and for refried beans. Great bean to substitute for Pintos in Southwest-inspired cooking.
80-90 days.”

I will plant these next season, and see if I can build up a stash to eat as well as plant next year.
I also saved seeds of all the others to build my stash.
Besides good eating, saving heirloom open pollinated seeds year after year is a hobby in itself. For next year, I’ve also ordered seeds from a supplier who specializes in beans grown in southern Appalachia. Greasy beans, eaten as snap beans, which are named for their shiny pods, and Turkey Craw, which the legend goes, fell out of a turkey’s craw as a hunter was dressing it out back around the Revolution. He planted them, and they have been passed down in families ever since.

If you’re still reading, Hi! Have a great day!

HA !!! ... when first seen from the corner of my eye, I thought it might be a pretty good ceramic rendition
But nope ... some kind of resin. No Delrin bulls were harmed

Staying home today. I've only been up long enough to make coffee and bring the computer up. I've drug some knife boxes out and don't know which one I'll carry around the house today. I think it'll come down to "Eenie Meenie Moe". Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

Came across a deal on a Boker Prime Expedition during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness, so took the plunge. When the box arrived, however, the OD micarta covers/brass bolsters I was expecting weren't there. Instead, a Boker Prime with Curly Birch covers had been sent by mistake. My disappointment faded quickly, as I really warmed up to the look of this one. So, I'm keeping it -- and it's in the pocket today.

Very nice trade off. I like the curly birch.

 

[BrotherJim]

Blue Monday for the long pull

Not to hijack the thread, but a few details on the gun are required, if you please

I have one of those on order

Hi
I don't have much information about this gun yet, my companion found it in her father's things.
After a short research, I think that it is about a small revolver with black powder of the XIXth century cal 22 short with annular percussion

Thanks. If I understand it correctly, "annular percussion" is what we (USA) call, "rimfire", in which case I just learned something new
Beautiful old gun. Love the scroll work

I would call it an improved Trapper and I don't know which Trapper it improved on !
Beautiful covers and who can't admire a nicely done Wharncliffe blade !
Brother's loss ................. your gain !
