[Jack Black]

A foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay. The usual lamb and a nod to red Friday a Boker pen.

Thank you Jack. I don't post as much as I should but I am never without a knife in my pocket.
Have a fantastic day my friend.

Supposed to get 6 to 10 inches of snow today. In the meantime, a 48 Improved Trapper in the pocket…

And, this morning's visitors -- nap time under Momma's watchful eye...

I don’t think I’ve seen this model of Case before. It looks very “Lamb-like”

A couple of regulars today. Smart watches just get smarter and smarter. Having a compass is always handy.

Nice cutlery~always like seeing that stag!
My Wenger is not a smart watch. In fact, I see I forgot to tell it February only has 28 days…
I agree on the utility of having a compass. I find the one in my Subaru pretty handy, because I like to wander around without resorting to my “smart phone”, and I don’t often have a mechanical compass on me.

As always, I love seeing your 72 with it’s lovely Rogers Imitation Delrin.

Beautiful cutlery, John. Who made the fixef blade?

If you were trying to nail your knife to the tree, you missed.

I hope the storms left you intact, Mike!

Picked this one up in a current sale. Always liked the look of these knives but thought they would be too big. So glad I jumped. Pleasantly surprised at how “small” it is. Went right into the pocket after delivery…

You didn’t have to flush, sharpen, or oil it?
I’ve sometimes gotten a factory edge that would do, but still can’t resist making it “better”.

I thought that last little line I added might cause me some trouble. So what's Mr. P having for lunch today ?

How else could two crowns in yer pocket make you feel ?



Nice peasantry my friend. I always heard the peasants resisted the crown.
Crows don't taste all that bad .......................... do they ?

P.S. - I know you are just sandbagging anyway. Do I need to bring up your spotless and pristine eye candy sheepsfoot forum knife ?



I think that is my favorite 77 !



Just 29 more days to go Ellis !
Looking forward to all of your variations and nice pictures. You have a fine knife to work with.



Thank you Mr. R. !



Thank you Mr. Jack and a very nice blue collar working knife for you today. I reckon I will climb down off my high horse (with crown of course ) come tomorrow. Until then ......

I guess “sandbagging” could apply, but really I was aiming for self-deprecating humor.
In your case, Royalty is 100% accurate. And speaking for myself, your daily knife choices are a true joy, and something I look forward to each morning.
I sure hope I didn’t offend, because I only meant to poke fun at my own carries!

Now I have to try and shoot a crow for breakfast!

Uh oh! Looks like the crow was smarter…

The Buck is a fine specimen. It went straight from the mailbox to the pocket.

Of my small group of Forum Knives, I think the Buck is my favorite.

Today is the anniversary of Texas’ Declaration of Independence, March 2, 1836, and ensuing war to break free from Mexico. General Santa Anna became the military dictator of Mexico, suspending its constitution and elected body of representatives. The pattern is one repeated over and over through history, when a few who “know what is best” abolish freedoms of the citizens “for their own good.” Several Mexican states rebelled, with Texas sucessfully breaking away. It was its own country for ten years, until it joined the United States. For those interested in history, look up the Zacatecas Rebellion for the beginning of the fight.

Spanish and French explorers were in what is now Texas in the 1500’s, long before the English Pilgrims hit the shores in the northeast.

Texas has been part of Spain, France, and Mexico at various times before joining the United States, but it was never part of Great Britain.

This flag is one of my most prized personal possessions, a flag flown over the Alamo on March 2, 2021, Texas Independence Day in my honor. The big Bowie knife by Randall is out today in remembrance of the fight of Jim Bowie and his colleagues that fought against the dictatorial powers of Gen. Santa Anna. Rest in peace warriors and may we remember your painful lessons of history to avoid repeating them.

Love the history, and your Randall is spectacular.

I needed another hole in my belt this morning so this one was today’s easy choice.

Needed another hole in your belt could go either way…
Great and useful knife!

Wenger Trailblazer - a decent all rounder

(tools not showing; Phillips driver, punch, file and TT)

I believe that’s much like my left front pocket tote, the Canyon.
And if you’d prefer a corkscrew in place of the Phillips, there’s the Viking. I dig Wengers.

That reminds me I have to remove some walnuts that are starting to shade my garden. I did take my chainsaws over to a church friend’s place to help clean up some ice storm damage.

Maybe I shouldn't answer for Travis but I'm 99.9% certain that's black locust. BL is about as close to osage as any wood can get. I've cut a worked an awful lot of osage and locust, both have similar ring characteristics and durability.

I was going to guess Mulberry, which is a very close genetic relation to Osage Orange…

Thanks, Jack! You know, wherever there are tracks, there are droppings.......
I figured the track makes a better background.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Nice Kutmaster!

I just got a Boker in Copper Burlap Micarta yesterday, and decided to carry it today. It's just small enough to fit comfortably in the watch pocket of a pair of carpenter jeans!

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

If I tote work knives, does that mean I actually have to work?

It looks like that snowstorm is going south of us. The radio went from “3 to 5”, to “5 to 8”, then “6 to 10”. My Iphone went from starting last night, and snowing all day, to starting at noon today, to maybe (30% chance) of flurries starting at 3:00 pm.

I hope all-a-yall Porchsters to the south got no damage from those tornadoes and T’storms last night!

I think the Yeti 88 has the coolest blade etch of any GEC, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks, Jeff!
Looks like your Wenger "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" (from the old Timex ads).
I too like the compass in my cars. At least it keeps me going in the right direction, most of the time!

 

[flatblackcapo]

Nice Kutmaster!

Thank you Jeff. It had sat in the bottom of the knife box for long enough, it was time to put it to work.

Basic Black for Black Friday...

Never was any good with a hammer

Just rain so far

Today's carry

 

[Modoc ED]

Today calls out for a Buck knife. What with being tractor-less and a fresh snow on the horizon for tonight, I'll need a sturdy companion and this Buck 500 Duke will do. This situation calls for 4-wheel drive and a railroad tie - only good for up to a foot of snow. Thinking of all those trapped in their homes down in the San Bernardino area and up the chain of the Sierras. Sausage and waffles for breakfast.

 

[Hammer67]

I plan on lifting a crown or two later.

Happy Friday, gang.
