Oh yes, yesterday was my busy day battling the cold. Today I get to sit back and reflect on the joys of Christmas.
Merry Christmas Mr.P.

 

[Primble]

Woke up at 6:15 a.m. to what seems like a balmy 9 degrees. Forecast to make it up to 21 degrees today. I won't have so much to do until after lunch, when my cooking will commence. My son and his wife plus my all important grandson will be over late this afternoon. I got to thinking yesterday that what I was having for Christmas dinner might not be a favorite for my grandson, so I whipped up a casserole dish of baked spaghetti, just for him. Spaghetti is his number one favorite. I reckon I might be spoiling him a bit, but, that's what grandson's are for ........ right ?

In the meantime, I am enjoying a cup of hot chocolate this morning. I'll be totin' my Primble Barlow and the Lion of Lucerne for this festive day.

Merry Christmas to all !

And going out of your way for the kid? That’s what Grandpas are for.
Hope it’s a memorable day for him.

Maybe you should keep some of this around, so he’ll eat what you’re eating…

Hey. Merry Christmas, eh?I think my Mother in Law’s ham patinaed my knife.

Lucy and our BF knife in the pocket today riding comfortably in a couple excellent slips from Jeremy @sbh06.

Elephants and Bunnies and Slips - Oh My!

That's a great shot for illustrating the size difference between those three. All three are beauties, but your rosewood lamb is particularly nice. Angelic, even.

Hope you (and everyone else here hunkering down for the storm) are able to stay warm and stay safe.

Thanks, Tyson. The rosewood is probably my sentimental favorite since my wife and daughter bought it for me in Barnitt's hardware store in York, England while they were on their "European Tour" several years ago.

… got a break and took the opportunity to better represent today’s tote …

That is a sensational muskrat! (That's what I call it, despite whatever its real name is.) I'm glad (and not surprised) you carry it frequently, so that we can see it often!

It’s snowing, but I don’t care. As soon as Andie finishes her breakfast, we’re going Christmas shopping. I like to shop early.

Schrade Walden 294 ought to suffice.View attachment 2023826View attachment 2023827

That Schrade Walden clip/pen trapper jack is very comforting (and the Christmas ornament is somewhat disturbing/scary)!

Nice lineup Gary.

It’s these two for me today. The wind is picking up and the snow is starting to fall so it’s inside pictures for me today. View attachment 2023898View attachment 2023899

Thanks, Todd. I can hear the beautiful Christmas music generated by your "piano keys" knife pairing!

Carrying this old Henckels whittler today. It has the thickest,stoutest main on any traditional I've ever seen. As you can see it has plenty of bark,it also has plenty of bite if you ain't careful!

The covers on that knife are outstanding/outrageous, David!
(And congrats in advance for the dog you mentioned is coming your way soon!)

Carrying the Old Grand Dad knife around the house today, in the breast pocket of a wool vest, worn over a wool shirt. Dressing like this in the heated indoor comfort of my own home makes me feel like an old grand dad,..... which I am.
Will only be with one of the six grandkids on Christmas Day this year, which is disappointing. Two have moved south and the other three have traveled there this year to spend Christmas them. Christmas Day here at our house with all the family is always my favorite day of the year.
Will be a bit of an adjustment for me this year.

Have a great Christmas, Greg, and make the most of your time with whoever is able to show up!

Getting into full Grinch mode now. I did scrap ice for the ladies in my department this afternoon in the bitter cold. Maybe that will buy me some points with Santa. This 36 is my Merry Christmas to me knife.

Love the rojo mojo for the holiday!

Splendid light show, Dan!
The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined. Isaiah 9:2

Sublime stag, José!

An old/ new muskrat today.View attachment 2024534

Congrats on the classic Case muskrat, Bob! I used to have little respect for that pattern, with 2 identical blades. But somehow I've become a fan of muskrats as I became older and hopefully wiser.

Yesterday's carry

I got to reminiscing a couple weeks ago about my first ship in the U.S. Navy which was a Destroyer (DD) commonly called in the Navy a "Tin Can". I joined the Navy in June 1965, went to boot camp, and then the Navy sent me straight to the USS Henley DD-762 as a Seaman (E-3) and I rode her until July 1966 when I caught a set of orders to Kami Seya, Japan. Anyway, I ordered up a "Tin Can Navy" hat for myself for my Christmas present to myself this year and while I was at it, I ordered up a two-blade Lambfoot knife manufactured by A. Wright. The hat's great and the knife's great. I'll wear the hat and carry the knife to my sister-in-laws for Christmas dinner today. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.





Here's the knife again and the sheath I'll carry it in today. Nice Ebony on this knife.



Merry Christmas to all you guys, gals, and youngsters.
