It looks like you did well at the most important job of all ~ you raised a child well. She honors her father, and has good taste in knives.
I plan on seeing my father in law rhis Sunday. I’ll tey to remember to ask which he prefers,Barehead, or Baldhead.
Good!It did, thanks a lot, I’m gonna be posting a lot the next coming days
Good eye! It's a 63032CS. Not sure how much difference there is between their chrome vanadium steel and their carbon steel.
Versatile trio of knives, Jeff!View attachment 2176828
First Saturday of the month means I do my small thing for God and country ~ I’m the cook for men’s breakfast in the basement kitchen of one of the churches in town.
It’s well appointed for my needs ~ mainly an awesome, huge gas range. They recently brought in an operation which does a weekly soup kitchen for the folks thst need it, which is very nice. But everything has been rearranged. Ok ~ so I have to poke around to find what I need. No big problem. But what is a problem is that someone scoured and polished the griddle.
What a horrible thing to do. I had that griddle seasoned ~ like 20 years worth, and nothing stuck to it. Made blueberry pancakes, and had to scrape and chop them to flip ‘em. I had to leave a note for one of the cleaning obssesed church ladies about 10 years ago asking that she not do that. Guess I need to do it again.
Little non-threatening home made fixed blade for cutting the sausage patties in elk and home made sheath for Stag Saturday.
Have a stupendous day, my friends!
It's great that you volunteer to cook once a month for that breakfast, but you've run into what I think is a common problem with "shared" kitchens: not everyone agrees on best practices for kitchen care/maintenance.
Shoot, after 38 years of marriage (as of the first of next month), my wife and I still have occasional disputes about kitchen procedures.
It all seemed so sudden; maybe Jack has a semi-legitimate claim to the throne and the powers that be just wanted to diffuse the situation.Thank you kindly Gary.
You posed a great question to Jack. Perhaps there was a quiet escort to the boarder.
You're amazing, Dan!
Not only can you get those chickadees to come sit on your knife, but somehow you also boost their confidence to the point that a tiny bird like that thinks it can swallow those relatively enormous peanuts!
That IS a notable blade etch!
Where did that knife come from? Some kind of advertising knife for a festival or tavern?Do you release each fish as soon as you land it, or do you release big batches at the same time? If you release right away, maybe you're catching the same famished and unintelligent crappie 25 times!
(You can probably tell that I almost never fish.)That's a delightful dozen!
Superior stag, Bob, and I admire its rufous coloration!
Gotta admit that Eastwood has a better singing voice than Lee Marvin.Excellent movieGreat plot. Great dialog. Great acting. Great singing...um...good singing...um...OK singing
I have it on VHS. I think I probably, maybe, I like Wales a tiny bit better because I have it on VHS and DVD
I watched Kelly's Heroes last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Your stag Dixie stockman is magnificent!
Looks great in ebony, Frank!
My favorite feature of that pattern is that it's a stockman with a spearpoint main blade.I admire a man with a plan for the week!Hope everyone's upcoming week is a great one!
Pattern is continuing - a week centered around micarta and brass, then micarta and copper, then mostly Case with an occasional SAK. Rinse, repeat. Micarta and brass again this week.
(Especially when it includes the underrated Victorinox Pocket Pal.)Thanks, Bob; I finished grading final exams and submitted course grades last week Wednesday, I think.
That was my last time. I've basically been "doing school" from one side of the desk or the other, since I was 5 years old, and I was pretty good at it and enjoyed it the vast majority of the time. I'm currently having some "separation anxiety" about the end of my career.
Long time adherent of the K.I.S.S. principle
Complicated things confuse me
That looks like a dependable duo, Jeff!
I think the Pocket Pal has capable blades, and it's not as small as I originally thought. Closed length is 3.3" (84 mm), and the main blade is just over 2" (52 mm). On the other hand, the 61OT I posted is a big stockman at 4"closed with a 3" clip main.Small but capable blades today?Must be nice cruising on your pontoon boat Gary.
Couple of beauties, Steve! That Camillus reminds me of the 61OT I posted earlier in the week.
I've got a single-blade version of that "barrel knife" with which I'm very pleased!
When you're right, you're right!
Congrats!Thanks, Bob; I finished grading final exams and submitted course grades last week Wednesday, I think.
Congratulations Gary!Thanks, Bob; I finished grading final exams and submitted course grades last week Wednesday, I think.
