This pocket worn gray Case medium toothpick in carbon steel. I'm sometimes frustrated with Case but they did a great job on this particular knife.

I gave Clever-clogs a warm vinegar dip to start some patinatious protection going.

That Clever-Clogs looks like a pretty handy piece of cutlery Jer !

It’s a nice day, but overcast, so the sunshine is in my pocket. View attachment 2184397Little 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.
...

The knives on your coffee mug look like butterscotch for your pocket, Jeff!
Congrats on the new suit! If I have to "dress up", I still wear the suit I bought for our wedding 38 years ago. I like traditional knives, and I tend to go for "traditional clothing styles", too, that are usually "almost in fashion" any time.

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

Handsome stag whittler, Gary!

Every time I see one of these, I think for s second, "Case finally made a lambsfoot!" Then I remember that the official position of the Guardians is that these aren't quite lambsfootn but are "lambscliffe". Either way, they look pretty cool to me.

I'm with you, Tyson! I'm not sophisticated enough to be able to tell the difference between that blade from Case and a "real lamb foot".

Very guiet to this day. I don't fear the devil, as much as, the illegal hunters.
Kudo's to your friend for his biking adventures.

Thanks Gary!!! It,s a container with some old KK dining sets.

Thanks for the info on your background KK, JJ!

I’m blessed to have a patient dog

She said, “mmm smells like apples”

I've been toting these two stag covered slicers today.

Stellar stag, JJ! What pattern is the Bulldog? Lotta blades there!

Thanks, Gary. Good ‘ol American Black Walnut with just enough swirl to not be plain.

Groundhog? Really greasy. Don’t recommend.

Thanks for the wood ID, Jeff; definitely not plain!
I'm not considering eating the ground hog; I just want her to get a "Not In My Back Yard" message.

...

Cool handle on the old Opinel, Jeff! I'm guessing that's NOT the standard beechwood handle.

Thanks, Gary. Yeah, they ride on it all the time…until they get all wet or muddy, then they’re on their own.

Thanks for the info on your dogs' riding privileges, Bart.

Good day everyone..just my lamb..View attachment 2185397

Splendor in the Grass, Bob!

I appreciate your comments Gary. My TSProf is responsible for that fine edge.
It needs some doctoring to get both sides even.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Looks like you've mastered that "fancy" guided sharpening system, Bob. I have a DMT Magna Guide that I need to practice with.

Thanks GT! That was a memorable release, I think they turned out better than expected.

Thank you, GT. I've seen Caddyshack I-don't-know-how-many times, "which is nice".

I like this HJ a lot, there is a crack near the shield, I'm not too motivated to do anything about it.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Rotation for this week.

Nice lineup; handsome handle on the Opinel!

I admire the "endcap" on the horn handle, José!

I'm not senile enough to need to name all my knives (or I'm too senile to think up that many names), but this Sabot tonneau has so much character.

Audrey Fleurot as the Lady of the Lake it ain't; it's more like Marie Dressler's Tugboat Annie.
I'll refer to it as Roughneck.

That 4-blade barrel knife with ebony covers is a very appealing knife, Jer!
I have a single-blade version in oak from the same cutlery, and am very pleased with it.

When my edc was a sak, I routinely tied it up in a sock and threw it in the laundry. Easier and more thorough than blowing the lint out.

It's early, but I'd be surprised if this doesn't turn out to be "Best Tip of the Week"!

Thanks Gary...you are probably much better than I at free hand.
Have a great day.

TC Tuesday

 

[paulhilborn]

Today was my daughter Scout’s third birthday, so I was carrying the #15 Nifebrite that I had with me the day she was born.

We went out for breakfast, then took her to a little local toy store that our girls love so she could pick out one gift for herself (sort of a birthday tradition we started on Eleanor’s last birthday). We took Scout to her first movie in a theater (The Super Mario Bros. Movie). She did great and enjoyed the movie. This was the first year we didn’t go to the zoo on Scout’s birthday, but we did go yesterday, so…

As always, here is Scout’s “birthday knife” photo recap, along with her new pic from today.

On the day she was born:

On her second birthday last year:

And today, her third birthday:

That's so AWESOME!!! please wish Scout a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY Barrett

Just popped the tube an hour ago... straight in the pocket!

Not even a little sharpening to make it your own?

Carrying a Buck 501 Squire with Birchwood covers today. Coco is doing better. My swallow is 90% back. Sausage and waffles for breakfast. Bunny 525 threw a hissy-fit because I benched him so I've slipped him in my spare pocket.

Good news on both of ya, Ed!
My good friend had throat cancer, thankfully a clean bill of health now, but I think he’s still able to handle only liquids a year and a half later.
Best to you, Buddy.

Been using this Cookshack PG-500 pellet smoker for 7 years. Heavy stainless, expensive, but will last longer than I will. It has a small grill directly over the firebox useful for searing etc. Had a small Traeger for a couple years before that but it's too small. If in the market today, would consider a Weber Smokefire 2 or Rectec.



Using a couple of Amazin' smoke tubes on this Cowboy ribeye

Friend gave me some ribs he cooked on a stick burner that were so good it gave me stick burner envy so bought this cheap Oklahoma Joe's reverse flow offset a couple years ago. It's a pain compared to the pellet smoker, constantly feeding the fire, however, the deep smoke flavor is unmatched.

Also have a Santa Maria BBQ style pit that is nothing more than a metal fire box with a grate over it that you can crank up and down. Best tool I have for chicken skin. Wife has a propane grill that hasn't been used in several years. Hoping to move it to the road for big trash day when she isn't looking! Today is spaghetti day and being micarta Monday am using this Charlie Bell BG42 blade with blue line micarta to slice up onions, garlic, mushrooms for the sauce.

Nice set-up, Chief!
Mine is a little more humble, but it does it for me. I got a chuckle out of your “hoping to move it to the road on big trash day”.
I did that last fall ~ disassembled/busted apart two decrepit propane grills, and a rusted and burned out cheap Brinkman smoker. It was a BIG trash day, but our guy’s a champ about it. He takes it all ~ old mattresses and box springs, even a sofa. That day, I made sure I was out front to help him wrestle that.

Found an end of season deal at the Depot, and got an Oklahoma Joe for less than half price. It’s not “Proffesional Grade”,, but it was quite a step up for us. Propane burner and grill on the right end, smoking chamber,, and offset stick burner on the left. And nuce heavy steel.
I have all the wood I’ll ever need on my property, so no need to buy fuel: birch, ash, cherry, apple, and maple ~ although once in awhile I do buy a bag of mesquite or hickory chunks for variety.
I don’t mind having to tend the fire and watch the temp, I just check it once an hour or so.
Oh yeah ~ built a fire pit out back for when the grandkids are here.

Happy eating, my friend

… and a Boker Atlas

I like the Merkator like Boker
Nice gift from Paul!

Very dark and mysterious today Yanni....but great trio.

I swear I was going to say that!
Dark and mysterious.

Toting this little guy around today. Very pocket friendly. Remington half-congress.

Sweet knife, Buddy.

That's an older picture of her Jeff Amir Fleschwund . We do the best we can by her. She isn't suffering - just uncomfortable at times and does have trouble getting around (especially steps) sometimes but she isn't ready to go. Here's a current picture of her - showing her age somewhat but still my girl. Best to Manny!!

A loyal and devoted friend who’d give her life for you rwo deserves that love you’re giving back.
In the house, or outside, and car rides, Manny’s right next to me. Made me think of you and Coco yesterday.

I toted my Sheffield made Sanderson 1903 Bayonet-Dagger (16 inches OAL) this morning and my Schrade Cut. Co. rope knife for the afternoon on this Monday.


View attachment 2187054

Nice. I see the ancestral dna of my younger Schrade Walden 163 rope knife there!

Cleaned and stained our deck last Wednesday and Thursday, and then put the furniture and rug out today so I'm ready for the weekend.

You have a nice looking place for well deserved ralaxing, Paul.

Tell Scout Happy Burthday from me!

Such a nice variant CBK!
