Wait til Mrs McD finds out “do what you want with your knives” means an endless and inescapable cycle of relentles acquisition!

Mrs McD sounds like a cool lass.
Like we say ~ Better Than I Deserve, right?

She’s way funnier than me. Got jokes for days. I’ve got a good one for sure.

I love your jigged bone 85. Who did the work on this one? I tried to have one recovered with jigged bone, but the slabs of jigged bone we ordered from Culpeper’s had cracks in them. We went with Black Ash burl. This one was done by David Valdivieso.

I just got this in a trade. It was recover originally done by Glenn. Such great workmanship. I agree that the bone is just excellent. The donor was an ‘18 EO Beaver Tail.

Your burl is mind blowing. I drool every time I see it.

Thanks Jack. I also got to fondle John’s wonderful CJ Lambsfoot Barlow. A closer pic of the SAK and the contents of the go bag.

So cool to be able to travel and meet up with a forum member and be fully outfitted for adventure

Quick trip to see our son and pound some chicken wings and Taylor tots, and of course a beer or two!
Thanks for the slip @sunknife. View attachment 2154652

Nothing better than tots and beer and a Case Bose. Hope you had a good visit, Todd.

Hey Sacto,

your photos inspired me to pick one up.

Thanks for the nudge.

Here it is next to my usual EDC Case Bose Bullnose.

Glad I could help. Looks like you got a nice one. The full-size wharnie and clip combo might be the perfect blade pairing for me.

I was vaccinating calves today and had my large lambsfoot with me.

I switched to my Camco when I got home.

Hope you had a great time Todd

Thank you very much for your kind words, Jack!!!

Your two Waynorth beauties are a certain way to add a Springtime spring into your step; a couple of mighty fine images, too!

I spent Sunday with a Swiss Scout and a British Barlow.

Many thanks JJ, it looks like you're well-equipped for all eventualities there my friend

Starting my week with these two, both gifted to me by Reaper AL

I always save those annoying dessicant canisters that come in vitamin and rx bottles, and put them in my knife cigar boxes. I don’t really know if they actually help…


You’re not supposed to have your eyes on the telly while sliding a blade between your fingers? Just a wild guess

How on earth did you Englishers mangle “pocket” into “sky rocket”?

Not Englishers guv they are Cockneys

Have a nice week

The barlow is made from a blade and spring from an 1960s school knife

It was satisfying to save an old workhorse

You should absolutely give modding/building a go, very nice to have the knife you want as you want it
