[Rufus1949]

Can’t go too long without carrying this one.

Very nice Bart...show that beauty more often.

Hello Porchidians! Apologies for the absence, SHTF right around Xmas, wife went down hard with Covid and slept for a week while I took care of the kiddo. Here's a nice photo dump to hopefully make up for my tardiness.

During the worst part of the cold snap. That frost is inside my house The gas fired furnace could not keep up and I had to run out and buy a kerosene heater and lots of fuel. 40$ a day for kerosene ate up 100% of my knife budget, but beats freezing a water line

Will be busy today catching up as best I can on what ya'll have been carrying. I might make another post with today's carry if I ever put on pants...

FC a fine collection. More importantly I hope your families life returns to normalcy soon.

Bunny knife 358 showed up, but I'm on the way out the door. Thanks so much to Spark, Charlie, and all that were involved!!! I know it was a huge amount of work & I'm extremely grateful. View attachment 2036189View attachment 2036190

Very nice gunstock you gave there.

Thank you, good sir.

A little color for this dark and cloudy morning.

Really nice photo Bart.

Great-looking pair Todd

Thank you Jack.

Still bedding in my Waynorth Lambsfoot in ebony, and pairing it with another of Charlie's finest for Old Friends Friday

Wow Jack, super pairing.

Jeff, nice capture of your knives.
Your rabbit leaves no doubt it is ebony.

Thanks, Bob!

I’m glad you told us all this, FC. In case any of us get to feeling sorry for ourselves…

Here’s a thought to cheer you up!

With that group of knives, you don’t need a knife budget anymore!

Two nice knives and two nice pics ! I would say you are two for two.
Snow on cloudy days makes fine light for pictures. The sun comes out ….. not so much.

I was trying to capture more detail, but in all honesty, dark cocobolo and ebony don’t have detail to capture, unless you get real close.
Thanks, Rob!

Queen mountain man on the belt and Case whittler in the pocket today. The Queen is a big knife to carry and I doubt I will need it today but it rides well in the pancake sheath on the belt and the additional weight goes unnoticed. View attachment 2036301View attachment 2036302

Yes, I like those. I’m due to carry my Case like that one…

Went to town to forage for victuals and took my owl with me.

Awesome pair, Steve!

Two forgotten/humble two bladers that I love today

I’d love em too!

View attachment 2036450

Hey- the peel is the tasty part!

View attachment 2036531View attachment 2036532

The knife looks familiar…
What are you planting?

Coffee looks perfect. Looks hot and strong. Knives look to be up to anything you throw at them today.

And I’m enjoying my coffee as I answer, one day later.

As I look for a new job, knives like this bring me happy thoughts of better times. How cool would it have been to get a well made Case stockman in the early 80’s from your boss??

Best wishes in your search, Badger!

One of my neighbours was born in Kenya Paul, he was a boy during the Mau Mau uprising. Unfortunately, he now has dementia, and has had to go into a care home. Within a few yards, I have other neighbours who were born in the Tower of London, and in a Latvian POW camp, and another who was in Auschwitz as a young girl, (though she mainly lives with her daughter now). Another neighbour also lived in Kenya, but I'm not sure if he was born there

Hmm. I think one of my neighbors is from Berwyn.

The crosscut is superb on your barlow Mr.P.

Beautiful area

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Good Friday morning!

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Beautiful area

Even though I was making a lame joke, yes. Berwyn Illinois is not bad at all.
I have some affinity with it as my Grandmother’s parents settled there, along with a lot of other folks from Czechoslavakia fleeing Hitler.

But there’s a guy on local tv who has a show on Sarurday evenings on which he plays old sci-fi and horror films. He has kind of a running joke …”They came out of …Berwyn”.

Sorry Jeff, completely went over my head, as I thought you were referring to Berwyn in North Wales! It's like the United Nations on my street!

He's still on? We used to get him from WGN Chicago in the early days of cable (something like eight channels instead of the old two and a half).

A couple of Camilli. Or Camilluus? I once said "syllabi" to a classicist. "Never mind, it's a very common mistake."

 

[JohnDF]

Nice Texas Jack, John. Don’t see enough of those.

Thank you, Bart.

We can never see enough of that one.

Speaking of knives we don't see that often... very beautiful Rope Knife.

Have a nice day
