I’ve wanted to try out Jason’s cooking method since this post.

Thank you Jon. I have used the dye but never cooked it. I wonder if vacuum sealing it would work too. Will be trying both.

You’re totin that antique LF with the nice bone in honor of J Jack Black’s return, aren’tcha?

Happy Friday friends! The 15 and the shiny new beautiful 54 have been in the pockets.

I saved this little guy from our shop; injured wing but still alive. Placed him back outside.

Sweet blues!
I love my dragonflies! Awesome predator of pests.

I love those GEC-made Schrade autos! I don’t stand a chance of ever owning one, but I always enjoy seeing ‘em here.



Great photos! They don’t call it the Natural State for nothin’!



Great pic!



Sounds like a great day! Nice bass.



Beautiful Davison.

I’ve been carrying my Albers Lambsfoot a lot lately, and today I’ve had Merle with me as well. (Merle just finished up his travels, and I sort of wrapped things up in the this post.)

I’m glad you brought Merle when we got together, so I could add my grubby fingerprints!

Redmeadow Cowbell today. Have a nice weekend.

Awesome!

Did a Wal-Mart/AutoZone run this morning, then shot pool at Eagles for a couple of hours. The Cadet carries so slim and light as to be unnoticeable. Didn't need to use it for anything... other than pics

Didn’t “need” to use a knife???
Try harder, Mike!

Back from my travels Hope everyone is doing well

Been carrying these two today, both seen a fair bit of use too

Welcome back, Jack!

Johnny on the Spot X2!
Don’tcha love the shield?

Thanks again Jeremy, I flitzed, oiled and sharpened, not that it needed it, it's just what I do then I start the patina process all over

I’m the same way. Even if they came razor sharp, (and if they came from a fellow Porchster, they usually are pretty sharp), I still have to go over them. If I don’t, it will feel like a borrowed knife.

Some Friday Favorites on my lunch walk around the lake.

Great photos! Appreciate the looksee.

After carrying a 4" Cuban yesterday I had a strong desire for something lighter.
Looking back over the years... we sure have had some fantastic Forum knives!
The 2017 Barlow and friends should do nicely for the day.

Yes, we sure did collaborate on some fine knives. Not a one out of the four I have that I couldn’t live with everyday.
Out of mine, the Buck rocks.

I was looking for the Case 6214 and found the unmarked jack first.
Plenty of room for both.

Seems a funny A on the Case USA. 1972, I guess, if the funny A isn't significant. I was 15. So this knife can't be old at all.

Well, I was 16 then, and it sure doesn’t look old to me, either.

Happy Weekend Porchlanders! Sorry I haven't been around in a minute, missed seeing your knives and showing mine. My excuse is I got really sick with some bronchial stuff (non-Covid, according to those tests I don't much trust), then got really broke and had no time for "knife fuss" as I call this part of my life. So here's the photo dump, been busy so there's not that much;

Back in April, may have contracted illness on this day at Union Station. We randomly met Mahomes and I got a chance to thank him for building a fancy park in my ghetto, just like the ones in the rich part of town. I don't give a hoot for any sportsball, but Patrick is a swell guy and we're lucky to have him here!

Last day before I went nearly bedridden. Check out the fiber optic pins on that Childress. Duck's aesthetic rules!

A few weeks later, must have at least been leaving the house that day as I sported my favorite fixed blade

A wooden Wednesday. You know what makes my knives look big? My other knives!

And the second I got out of money trouble, I got right back in on the exchange Zero regrets here. I'm just happy that all knives look the same to my wife, and that she thinks a high end handbuilt knife is anything over a hundred bucks.

I feel your pain. Had my my share of bronchitis and pneumonia in my young life, and it can really knock you down. Even rushed to the hospital by ambulance three times, put into a coma, intubated…no fun. But now I know how to keep it away. Even when I had the ‘Vid, I just took a blast of steroids, and it kept my O2 up.
Anyway, welcome back FC!
I can’t help you on thd money angle. That’s something I just live with.
Minimalism helps.

Good morning everyone...
Gotta honor or thank our mom's this weekend. Seems they raised a great group of ladies and gents here.View attachment 2184048

Indeed. Had a nice visit with my Sainted Mother (86) and Dad last Sunday, and we’re going to my wife’s Mom (88) and Dad’s tomorrow. Fill up her flower bed, and other spring chores, and of course, eat!

Cadet & Uncle Henry 885

You mean Schrafe Uncle Henry? Happy Schradurday!

S&M HJ1 today, minor cleaning and organizing some clutter in the office. Ordered a knife this morning, and have one out for delivery, so I've got that going for me.

View attachment 2184118

Beautiful bone!

This one is near end of life, covers is all shrunk and cracked and the backspring is broken… Somehow it still finds its way in my hands during the weekends doing garden and housework. I think the covers are ramshorn.

It deserves someone giving it a complete restoration, but not many builders here in Northern Europe that I know of. Might give it a try myself when I find the time

My step Granddad was a machinist, and could make springs. Seems like a black art to me!

Rapinin Broccoli... Hmmm? Good lookin' Hawkbill.

Also called Broccoli Raab. Highly reccomend it. Just eat it right before it flowers, and it just keeps coming back. And you can plant the seeds in the fall for spring eatin.
Thanks for likin’ my old Camillus.

Doing a brake job on my daughters jeep this morning, then I’ll have some people over this evening for some fish tacos. I’m not sure what use the Passenger will be in helping with the brake job, but I’ve got a long just in case.

Make her help. That will teach her to take it a little easier on the brakes.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Recycled snap of my two companions for this weekend.

Drover and lamb today.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

It’s a nice day, but overcast, so the sunshine is in my pocket. Little wirk day at church pulling weeds. Then I had to go buy a suit. Got a wedding party in Omaha, and Mrs Fleshwund says no tweed sportscoat over jeans, which has been my “dress up” outfit since giving all of my old suits to Salvation Army. Kinda spendy! Coulda bought some nice knives instead.

Columbine is blooming. Nice plant.

 

[Headwinds]

Just got through shearing the back side of 180 running feet of 8 foot tall holly hedge with just this Vic Cadet.....

(and this little Black & Decker. The Cadet was mainly for moral support.)

Like the guy who just flew in from Cleveland - “Boy, are my arms tired!”

 

[mbkr]

 

[Hyesouljah]

I like this meeting.
I wouldn't rule out any of them

There’s only one knife that’s not a user in this photo. Trying to resist the temptation but maybe just the tip!!

 

[SteveC]

These two today

 

[Jon0385]

Last trip to the beach before we move

 

[Suave]

Here is a recent acquisition and I am stunned. It's a DFC Era Queen #71 Fisherman's Barlow in jigged calico bone. Cost me under $50 to my door. This is the best example of any knife I have seen come out of DFC. Not a gap, bad grind, or a slither of light peeking through. A pinned shield. The action is stiff and snappy but buttery smooth. Flush in open and closed and just a hair proud in half stop. Wish they had this level of quality on all the knives they produced while serving as stewards to the Queen and S&M brands.



Everyone have a great weekend and a happy mother's day.

Johnny on the Spot X2!
Don’tcha love the shield?

Yes, I do. I also enjoy these mini series. What could be the next Johnny on the spot knife/pattern?

 

[DeltaTrain]

It's a wet and rainy day here today so I think oak and stainless are a fine choice.

 

[Peregrin]

Decided I'd carry this one for Stag Saturday. 2005 Case-Bose Lockback Whittler.

There’s at least one rabbit’s nest full of voracious vermin out front, and for sure more. Those things breed like…bunnies.

Speaking of voracious vermin, do you have any experience taking on urban ground hogs (aka woodchucks aka whistle pigs)?

Case black sycamore canoe today.

Compelling covers on your Case canoe!

Congrats! I have a Buck stockman just like that that I think is a fine user.

I had these two jacks today.

Good wood, JJ, including the background! What's the story behind your Simmons Keen Kutter logo on the wood?

Wharncliffe trapper

Splendid knife, Bart!
Do the dogs get to ride the ATV sometimes, or do they just enjoy sitting on it while it's parked?

I always enjoy it when you pop your cork knife into this thread, José!

Good morning all. I dread getting back on my bike, but into the woods I go.View attachment 2181808

I'd dread getting on a bike if I had to take that Case jack all the way to Texas!

Thank you kindly....yes but I have pine barrens near me, not great wooded areas like you.. Glad you enjoy your riding too.
Your knife seems to be the more practical one.
Bob

I like the peacefulness...lots of bogs, but the sand is a workout.

I have a former colleague who grew up in New Jersey; I think his town was not very far from Philadelphia. He said he and his friends, before they had driver's licenses, would occasionally ride their bikes to the Jersey shore, 55 miles one way. (They apparently had to turn around to head home almost as soon as they arrived at the shore.) Part of the journey was through the pine barrens, which he described as "eerily quiet" because there were no birds. (This was probably at least 45 years ago.) Isn't there also the threat of a New Jersey Devil in there?

Really like the grain on the wood of your rope knife, Jeff!

Huntsman and lightweight Case lock back

I enjoy your photos of your walks with Jack.
Sometimes finding the knives, and Jack, in your pics reminds me of the Where's Waldo book my daughter had 30 years ago.

A Baxter Lambfoot and a Camillus Cattle knife that was a kind gift from my friend @Campbellclanman

Thanks again Duncan !

According to some of the TV westerns I used to watch, the cattle ranchers and the sheepherders didn't always get along very well. I'm glad your cattle and lambs peacefully coexist, Steve! That's a superb pair!

These two in the pocket for work.

Couple of captivating classics, Paul; I really like the edge on your BF knife!

85 on the truck console. 85 on a tree stump 85 on a rock. 85 on some pebbles. 85 held in my hands over some lush greenery. Just tryin to keep it fresh over here.

View attachment 2182119

I'd enjoy the jubilant jigging on that 85 even if you showed it on a piece of notebook paper every day, Jon!

Looks like Iris has to show a LOT of patience with her human sometimes!

Yet another trip for medical reasons,this time a carpal tunnel injection.

I have a feeling that it may work this time,I shall leave it for at least a week and then only try a few short trips.

The carpal tunnel was twice the size it should be.

He said 2 days to start to take effect,but it feels just that bit better already its easier typing.

...

I hope the injections do the trick!

Oh, man, so many good shows in the '50s: The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, The Jack Benny Program, The Honeymooners (Jackie Gleason). Leave it to Beaver started in the late '50s. I saw the reruns, as I grew up watching tv in the '60s. I still remember when most shows went to color in 1966: "Now in living color!" There were only three networks then: ABC, NBC, and CBS.

Vince, I'm sure I watched plenty of TV in the '50s, but I don't remember much. Some vague memories of morning shows like Captain Kangaroo, Howdy Doody, and Romper Room (which I think was local) and Saturday cartoons like Mighty Mouse and Underdog, followed by "dramas" such as The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, and Sky King.
I don't think I saw a color TV show until sometime in the '70s.
I think 3 TV networks actually contributed to the nation being more "united" back then than it is now with so many "broadcast options".

Nice Buck, Case, and buxom lass, Jer!

...

Impressive vintage MAM, José!

You guessed correctly. That is a dock post over standing water. Here is an older picture that shows our lake scene.

Thanks for the confirmation about the nature of that post.
We rent a cottage on a lake for a couple of weeks each year, and I end up taking lots of knife photos on the dock.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Same to you, Tim! I'm glad you got one of those jigged bone Waynorth Cutlery lambsfoot knives.
I don't hyperventilate over them any more like I used to do when I'd see a photo when they were first released, but I still think they're one of the best-looking knife models I've ever seen!

Sounds like fun, Bart! My wife and DIL were at our Grandaughter'dance recital. My son had the two boys running between baseball games and soccer matches! I was home with a lawn tractor problem so missed it all.

 

[MrStabby7]

Hey guys, I got these slips in from Sharp & Fiery and thought I would share. I think they look great and are well built. I'll be carrying one of these two for the next several days.
