Thank you, I love it.

 

[bigfish64]

Thanks, Todd. The jigging on that came out really cool. At first glance I thought it was a vintage knife you had picked up. Nice work.

Thanks Bart, that’s exactly the look I was going for.

The rawness left by the spines really put them in another league.

Freeze Dryer completed the apple run this morning, so I bagged the bulk of them in gallon size mylar bags with an O2 absorber for longer storage, and put the rest in some smaller clear front snack size mylar bags and some easy access ones in a mason jar. Still have another batch or two to run from this bushel.

Do you ever rehydrate the freeze dried fruit or just eat it out of the bag ?
Nice blues today !

Part of Terrific Thursday carry
SAK Walker

Spear, saw, combo opener - that Walker has a very simple but desirable set of blades.

...

Routine doc's appointment this morning, then off to the market, as usual Have a good day everyone

Very nice pair of knives, Jack!
I wonder if going to the market first and then to the doctor might be a better order for your appointments, given some of your market tales!

Cattaraugus Carpenters Whittler and my Chris Montgomery Custom Bird & Trout knife for Thursday. I had always noticed a laughing fish jumping pattern in the Damascus and a Wood Duck. Yesterday, I noticed a pattern of bird eggs and a chick hatching, as well as a few bird heads ................................... and I always thought he called it a bird and trout knife because he patterned it that way ............. maybe not !

Captivating Catt, Rob!
No comments on the fixed blade, since I know nothing about that type of knife, other than to note that I see that Wood Duck swimming along near the center of the blade edge, heading toward the tang.

Baxter Lamb and a PAL Jack

Champion covers on both of those, Steve!

Today I have a Case whittler from 1972, and a much older four line Camillus in cocobolo.

Enjoy your day!

I am waiting at my auto repair guy’s shop for new brakes and one replaced wheel bearing. Expensive morning.

Couple of venerable but virile knives, Jeff!

Today I'm sporting two that I should have carried yesterday, both Walnut handled. Could have been a Walnut Wood Wednesday. Oh well, missed my chance!

WooHoo for walnut, Gary!

Two for work today.

Hey, you're right, Paul, there are TWO knives in the photo!
But if one of the knives is a jigged bone Waynorth Cutlery Lambsfoot, I have trouble seeing the other knife, no matter how splendid it may be!

...

I’ve had mine in my pocket most days since I got it, including last night for dinner and drinks before seeing Hamilton at the Orpheum in Minneapolis. (Unfortunately the Lamb had to stay in the truck during the show; not allowed in the theater.)
...

Looks like your lamb got a bit thirsty after attending Hamilton...

Thanks, Barrett -- I've enjoyed the pics of your lamb, as well. It's a beauty!

And, here's a solidarity "shot"...

That Hamilton must have been a burly guy!
Outstanding Albers knives, Barrett and Jim!

I like the geometrical bolsters on your knife!
Whose tang stamp is that? I've seen it before, but can't recall the company name (German, I think, right?).

That cast metal knife with the bugling elk is a handsome piece!

Anyways I survived
And I am home with a new vehicle

Wow, that was fast! I hope you get years of trouble-free transportation from your RAV4!

Harvester and Lambfoot.

Clean, simple, beautiful lines on that pair, Paul!

I liked the other Mini Trapper I have so much, I had to get another one, also in CV.

View attachment 2167413View attachment 2167414

Congrats on the new mini trapper! I think a black knife with silver hardware looks especially elegant and dignified, whatever the pattern.

I paired these two Imperials today.

Impeccable Imperials, JJ!

Texas Jack on desk duty tonight ... seems qualified

IMHO, Best Pen Blade Ever!!

...

Have a good Friday everyone Double Lambsfoot Day for me!

Striking pair of lambsfoots, Jack!

[black mamba]

One of these two is nearly always with me.

I carry "Big Red," my Evo Grip 14, whenever I leave the house, and carry "Red," my alox Cadet, when lounging at home. There is always another knife with them, but these are constants.

 

[Dextar]

has never used the "mushroom" one though

 

[Johnnythefox]

Recent carrys,I do love my old Alox Wengers especially with dates that mean something to me.

I removed the key ring from my user Lumberjack I knew I would scratch it.

Champion covers on both of those, Steve!

Thank you kindly Gary !

It’s a dreary day here in the City by the Bay. Looks like it wants to rain and that’s in the forecast. Keeping me company today is the usual lamb and magnificent HJ!

Do you ever rehydrate the freeze dried fruit or just eat it out of the bag ?
Nice blues today !

We just eat the fruit out of the bag. It is an easy to pack snack. Flavors are slightly stronger than the fresh fruit because all of the water content is gone, so the sugars of the fruit come through more. The one exception is that sometimes we will put one of the strawberries in a glass of champagne or prosecco. Meats, soups, and other dishes we will rehydrate. Probably one of the best items that we make occasionally is ice cream sandwiches. Delicious snacks, but they are hard to keep in the house because they get eaten too quickly.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

I have three in my back yard ....... mine have already bloomed ..... blooms are now gone and all leafed out. One of my favorite times of the year when they bloom.
Nice job on the Camillus ..... I like the covers !

Thanks, my friend

I wear eyeglasses, which is why I like SAK's little screwdriver in the corkscrew . My current pair of specs, however, use Phillips head screws instead of slotted. In a moment of extreme lucidity, I had an epiphany this morning and discovered that the screwdriver on the SAK Rambler works perfectly to tighten up those pesky little screws. Pretty exciting stuff, eh? View attachment 2171701
View attachment 2171702
Also went to town to run errands, whereupon I discovered the blower motor in the truck making rude noises. When I got home, I pulled it out and removed a big mouse nest. Not the first time this has happened. I should get another cat. Ya know...these new emojis really are terrible. The cat doesn't even look like a cat.
So, here's NinjaCat instead View attachment 2171715

Love it when we find an easential function for our knives, which is just what SAKs excel at.
Don’t get me started on the battle against rodentia.

Thanks Jeff. The stag on those German knives is good stuff.
You did a nice job on that Camillus stockman.

Today was the sowbellies turn.

Thank you sir!

You got that right Jeff, and I have several practice knives to prove it!

Beautiful photo!

I can tell you put some work into getting it right.
And thanks!

Nothing like an elementary school track meet, especially when your daughter DOMINATES!
She crushed the literal mile by a figurative mile. Having knives of course is essential for speed.

Beautiful daughter!
And that’s literally a fine accomplishment.

Like the dickens?

I've been giving my florist quite a bit of carry of late. Light weight in the pocket, good grip for an arthritic octogenarian, and like said, it cuts like the dickens. Plus I just love the single sheep foot blade. Kinda old timey.

When the time comes, one of mine will be seeing daily use. I work over my termater plants, and prune out the suckers below the first branch bearing flowers. I’ve got both, but usually use the one with the hawkbill pruning blade. Put the flat side against the stem, and the chisel ground side out, and give it a gentle pull, and done.

The straight blade Florist makes a good all purpose pocket knife.

Found this stag treasure from the 70s. And guess what not one gap and perfect walk and talk.

Hope everyone had a great Monday.

Love that dark stag!

That's a fact

I like a Stockman when I want a 3 blade knife, usually mated to a single-blade, but this Buck covers both bases. My most carried and used Forum Knife - very fortunate to have a backup one too- great steel that sharpens beautifully, American Elk and no brass liners...

I agree that the Buck Forum Knife is possible the best user.
Even with that hole left in the well where the other blade should be.

1979 Appaloosa Bone. Thanks glennbad for making this a single blade.

Mr. Glen does great work!
The bone is fantastic.

Thanks, mi amigo!
Now my imagination is telling me that one of those v adjectives would have been “vivacious” if one was a Canoe!
