The Ides of March were good to me this year, and today turned out to be a great day with good weather and a few welcome surprises. Decided to close out the day with a good dinner and a cigar, paired with my newly found 2019 BF knife, thanks to @jlauffer, and a @Phillip Patton Stiff Horn.

And the final preps before cooking all the meat on a hot stone...

Looks like a fine meal. Never tried cooking on a hot stone, unless I were to count backpacking trips. How do you heat it?

As often happens, I take a look at a knife someone posts which I also have, and I nearly change my mind on what I’m totin.
The 2019 BF knife is a great one.

Big Red Letter Day. Case 53032 (1978) red etch. Got this a short while back from my local shop. This knife is awesome.

Also M&G Texas Ranger (GEC 29) for strawberry duty.

There is a ppPpp roblem with the PPPppPp key on my IpPPpPpad (so-called Magic Keyboard).

That is a sweet looking Case Jack, JB. And I love that you have a local knife shop, and support them.

Mighty fine, Mr. P.
It’s almost a cautionary tale for anyone paying attention ~
Invest in vintage knives and silver, not shady banks!

Thank you, Jeff. I purposely do. They are good guys and have nice Case stock in particular. I have learned a bit in speaking with the owner and some regulars. I also prefer to handle Case knives instead of buying sight-unseen.

They also have a single-digit GEC invoice on the wall. The owner believes he has one of the knives from that invoice too (a GEC 23, I believe, I have not seen it yet).

I typically heat it up in the oven turned all the way up, for at least an hour. Shortly before I take it out, I will turn on the broiler and get the surface as hot as possible. Originally, the stone I used was about 1" thick, and it would cool a little too quickly to get a whole meal cooked at the table. The stone I am using now is actually a Surface Plate, typically used by machinist as a flat surface. It is 2" thick and works very well for retaining heat. They can be purchased new from Amazon, cheaper than a "cooking stone." Very important with the larger stone is a pair of high temp heat gloves.
 
The Westward Ho might be a little bigger than I really need, but I'll bring it along with the 4-line Utica just in case.

I've had an interesting last few days. Saturday I was taking a picture of Bunny #525 on my board and turned the board for a better angle causing the knife to slip off the board and onto my bare foot. The point of the blade hit at an angle so, the cut wasn't too deep. While hip hopping around to the kitchen to get a paper towel to clean the blood drops up I stubbed my toe on a chair and broke it. Sunday was pretty uneventful as I watched my foot seep under a bandage and as I watched my toe turn all manners of color and swell. Monday I went to the hospital for a surgical procedure and as the doctor was doing the surgery he was proclaiming that my toe was in fact broken and the cut in my foot didn't need stitches. After he stitched up the area where he did the surgical procedure, he taped the broken toe to the toe next to it and called everything good. One lesson learned out of all this is that Bunnies bite!!! We are headed out pretty soon for town and lunch at the Brass Rail Restaurant. I'll be toting Bunny #525 and my CV Case Sowbelly.
