Thank you Jack!

Fine pair of Lambs!

Thank you David

Nice wee snowman and a fine pair of lambs !

Thanks Steve, I can claim no credit for the snowman I'm afraid!

Beautiful lambs Mr. Jack !!
I hate to tell you this, but, your Snow Bunny looks a bit distressed ................... with that lambs foot propped up in its face.
Ingenious craftsman on that work of snow art ...... Wile E. Coyote would be proud !
How much snow does your side of the pond average per season ?

Thanks Mr P I'm not surprised he looks distressed, he was six foot tall yesterday! Snowfall varies a lot, from year to year, here. UK average is 23 1/2 days of snow per year, but most of that is in Scotland, and on the high ground of northern England. We only had a few inches yesterday, and it brought the country to a standstill!

A pair of Northfields will do for Saturday.

Nice haul there

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Klaas red bone mini canoe. (Looks like my list of miscellaneous knives is organized by pattern, at least to some extent. This is the third straight week that I'm showing a mini canoe as my miscellaneous knife, and, peeking ahead, I see that the next 3 weeks are also mini canoes. When I revise/update my rotation schedule, I think I'll shuffle the miscellaneous knives to break up those clusters of patterns, because after 3 more weeks it will be almost a year before I carry a mini canoe again! That ain't right!)

Lambsfoot of the Week is Cracker Jack, my Ashley's Choice stag lambsfoot from a 2018 Jack Black SFO:

I always enjoy seeing that Klaas Canoe Gary, and it's nice to see your AC

They call it "barglow acrylic" but yeah, same thing. A silhouette of a bat would be pretty cool looking, but acrylic isn't very good at taking ink.
Nice to see you, too!

I spent a few hours trying to find something among the accumulated kipple of Grumble Towers today, and ended up coming across 3 knife-stuffed shoe-boxes. A few treasures, but a lot of grungy semi-junk. However, there was this rare grail, undoubtedly the inspiration for GEC's recent foray into half-bladed pocket knives, the Richards Dumbwaiter!

Wenger trivia ~ this one is identical to the Canyon, with it’s small clip, and spear main, with another layer holding a woodsaw.

Enjoy the day ~ they go too fast.
And don’t forget we change our clocks tonight!
Spring back an hour.

Here’s how you remember how it goes ~
If you’re walking down the trail, and a copperhead snake crosses in front of you, you SPRING BACK. And if you catch your foot on a tree root, you FALL FORWARD.
Follow me for more tips.

Looking good Jeff, do you collect Wengers?

Thanks for posting that link Gary, very interesting

That's good Kurt, I have nice neighbours too My mail delivery was cancelled yesterday, due to about 2" of snow! Thanks for the look at the Pile side, it's a beautiful knife Enjoy your tacos buddy

Impressive pairing David

Yes, I had almost forgotten how hard it is having to deal with a leaking roof my friend. I've been pretty lucky in my current place, only had one small leak, due to a loose slate, in 21 years, but it was different when I was a kid, and a few places I lived as a young adult. I'm glad you have it fixed now Doesn't it just?!

I think the polish makes a big difference. Great pics, and an outstanding outdoor pair

What a great pic Tyson, I'd forgotten you had a martial interest I'll have to see if there's anything down at the Royal Armouries for you - I'm talking about some postcards or a book, not about pinching their collection!

Very nice indeed JJ, a good round LOL! Thanks buddy

Amazing! Great to see those two together my friend

LOL! Thanks Jeff, Tool Man wanted me to take it to the market, so he could have a look at it - on the bus!

Wishing everyone a great weekend I'm having a Double Lambsfoot Day!

Poor little feller looks like he knows his time is up soon

A great weekend so far.

 

[sf fanatic]

Once again the Porch never ceases to amaze me! Several days ago I posted a pic here of my usual lamb and a Case Mini Trapper CL. pat9198 mentioned that he likes the Case and he has been looking for one. I offered to gift another one I had. Patrick graciously accepted. Then he insisted on returning the favor and sent me a gorgeous Boker Barlow. It arrived today. I believe Jack Black said it best, “There is a thing that we find on The Porch that goes much deeper than the depths of our pockets. It's called friendship!". I hope that it never ends here .

Kudos to you two gentlemen. Great knives, magnanimous gestures.

Nice, Jack! GEC may occasionally come out with a few unusual patterns, but they usually have some traditional precedent. Now, if only they'd up their game to make corkscrews and marlin spikes...

Welcome to the Brotherhood of Wengerites!

Thanks, Jeff. I’ve only ever had a casual interest in SAKs, but I can see how it could be a slippery slope if you start collecting them. I’m not sure I have the mental capacity or enough interest to really get into all the small variations/details that make certain ones rare or more collectible than others, but if I see something I like the look of and the price isn’t unreasonable, I’ll grab it (which is how I ended up with the LL Bean Wenger).

Got these two recovers in the pocket today. 93 lamb in curly mango and a 85 in desert ironwood.


View attachment 2110904

That recover (and, in particular, the shield swap) on that #85 Crown Lifter makes a big difference. I’ve got a couple of those and they’re nice knives, but I was never too keen on the bottle shield.

And a Wenger Backpacker II.

Tasty looking breakfast! I like the small clip secondary blade on that Wenger.

I can’t believe GEC forgot the corkscrew!

I’m jealous! The lakes here are still solid.

I’m carrying these today.

Great stuff buddy, but that's actually a quote from the old sig line of my dear departed friend Ron Half/Stop I added it to my sig line, originally as a temporary thing, when he sadly passed away a couple of years back He was a friend to many here, who I know mourn his loss

Nice, Jack! GEC may occasionally come out with a few unusual patterns, but they usually have some traditional precedent. Now, if only they'd up their game to make corkscrews and marlin spikes...

Maybe they'll do a 'Dad's Disappointment' next Rachel!

I can’t believe GEC forgot the corkscrew!

What were they thinking?!

I’m carrying these today.

Fine pic Barrett
