A cloudy start to the day in the City by the Bay! Supposed to clear up later.
Made my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. These two came along for the ride. Have a great weekend folks! View attachment 2176929View attachment 2176930

Thanks Jeff. Amir Fleschwund Suburban life doesn’t really present a lot of uses for my carrying choices but I feel empty without a traditional pocketknife.

 

[OldHercDude]

Have a good weekend everyone!

My pair for Saturday & Sunday.

I  think the 141122 is starting to get a patina. What do y'all think?

These two today for work. The lamb was a crazy generous gift from my friend Rufus1949 . Thank you, Bob. Your friendship has been a highlight for me over this last year. I will cherish this knife for years to come.

One of the best guys around.

Early Tuesday morning in the Rose Garden with a Northwood's Presidential

Props to the Presidential (or Hail to the Chief), and I love the Rose Garden photo idea for that knife!

You have the blues, and that's a GOOD thing! That blue/white checkerboard Alox is outstanding (and totally new to me)!

These three pictures saved three thousand words.

I like the equations, Jeff!
3 x Picture = 3000 x Words, or equivalently (dividing each side by 1000),
.003 x Picture = 3 x Words

Amherst Canoe this week, unless I come across something new in my travels to pair it with, have a nice week.

Can't let a classy canoe go by without a comment of commendation!

Got these two in yesterday. Lamb was a gift from @bigfish64 and the Albers from Rufus1949 . I am gobsmacked by the generosity guys. Thank you so much. Two more to add to my forever drawer. I will enjoy these for years to come. Thanks fellas .

Congrats on the grand gifts, Paul, and plaudits to Todd and Bob for their characteristic generosity!

My plan is for her to remain 10 for the next 40 years .

Good luck with that plan, Jon!
I had a similar plan for my daughter about 25 years ago, but it didn't happen (but still worked out OK).

Cheeseburgers and pool at the Outpost in Centertown earlier today. I need to remember to take a pic of the food. No offense guys and gals, but when Katie put that cheeseburger and fries in front of me, I'm wasn't thinking of BladeForums View attachment 2172844

Pretty and sunny today and very windy. Windmill was spinning its little heart out.

Mike, I'm a sucker for the knife-on-post pics, and then adding a windmill-on-post pic pushes the entire post into the stratosphere!
(I think the annual Holland, MI Tulip Time Festival starts today, and their Dutch windmills aren't as "skeletal" as your American model.)

I imagine a knife like that beauty comes along only once in a blue moon!

Case 83 whittler and Western 522 lockback, 3rd day in a row with this combo.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, Greg!

Always enjoy seeing your "fish knife", José!
Do you have a saying in Portugal something like, "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime" ?

Have a good day everyone.View attachment 2173365

Delightful duo, Bob!

WW! How old are those knives? They look almost factory-fresh!!

Impressive photo of that superb stag harvester!

Thanks a lot Gary Bulgaria does use Cyrillic script. When I was a kid, my dad was a chess fiend, and half the books in the house were written in Cyrillic. I know a few of the letters, but that's it I'm afraid. I'm sure there's some app that allows Cyrillic to be deciphered, but I'm not sure I'll bother. I've equipped myself with a dozen stock Bulgarian words and phrases, (plus a dictionary, phrase book, and simple translation app), which I reckon is probably a lot more than most of the European tourists do! I might even learn a few more words, but I have no plans to learn Cyrillic! Even when I had good Arabic, I could only read and write a few words

Interesting information, Jack; you're a much more adventurous traveler than I am!
I hope your trip is going well. I didn't think to ask you before you left if you had been asked to leave the country for Coronation Weekend, just as part of the security procedures. Nor did I ask if you had seen any souvenir pocket knives featuring this latest coronation.

Thank you kindly Gary.
You posed a great question to Jack. Perhaps there was a quiet escort to the boarder.

I have a Construction Management degree from Clemson. Not my current profession, but it’s still in my blood. Today’s adventure was bushcrafting at its best with the kids and letting them be the architects and contractors! I was just along for chopping labor.

We had a ton of fun, and Sam was sporting his Condor chopper that he scored back in 2020 from the BF Giveaway Box. As you can see, his knife of choice outgunned me by quite a bit !

So many great things going on in your post Jon.
Glad you have the time to enjoy outings like that.
Their memories of adventures with you, will be deep and cherished I'm sure.

Thanks! I like the blade etch on that one a lot.

Cheers!

Had the Eureka Jack with me this morning crappie fishing. Caught about 25 crappie and this large mouth but released them all.

Thanks for the encouraging words, Bob.


Jeff, you're probably right that if you bring up yoga pants you'll get in trouble. (But you'll get in even more trouble if you bring them down. )
I think I saw "clevis" used in some WW2 military specs for folding knives.


Couple of very nice knives, Jeff!
Before I read your discussion, I was thinking of the stag knife as a "serpentine sleeveboard pen", but now that you mention it, in some old pattern charts I've seen, that frame shape is called Wharncliffe.


That's an enticing Ettrick, Rob!


Thanks for the advice, Gary. But for my first x318, I'll probably try to find a yellow synthetic CV model, just for nostalgia's sake.


Not at all puzzling why you'd carry that Opinel!


Looks like you're all squared away with that pair! The HHB stag and the Case amber bone are almost a visual match!


You must be a good craps player, Steve, because you can sure roll them bones!!


I appreciate your review of your cattle knife after carrying it for almost all of April; thanks!


SWEET photo; that knife is your jam!!


Sad news. I only knew Shannon as a player for the Cards, and didn't realize he broadcast games for 50 years. My parents gave me a "transistor radio" when I graduated from 8th grade in 1965, and on summer nights all through the late '60s, I'd search the AM dial to see what ball games I could pick up. I could often get KMOX (I think that's right), but IIRC, Harry Caray was still doing Cards games then.


That Black Forest stag whittler is a treasure!


Thanks for the report, JJ; I was very curious about those old "found" blades when I read about them.


Very handsome knife, Frank!


Couple of nice knives to kick off the new month, Jack!


Yeah, "vivacious" or "vibrant" or "vivid" are all good ones, but for a Canoe, with its nearly elliptical/oval closed profile, I might try to still my beating heart and go with "voluptuous"!


Thanks for the additional info.

Thank you! Yes, you can say so.
