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.




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"

Thanks, Gary!
Unless the ‘Chuck is tearing up your garden or flower beds, they’re pretty harmless. You might try dumping a bag or two of blood meal around your estate boundaries…
We have a worse problem ~ a huge coon has been gorging on my sunflower seeds and the oranges I have out for the Orioles. The last two nights I’ve tried quietly opening the sliding door enough to get a bead with the .22, but she’s eluded me so far. I hate to kill her, but when they become a problem, and start destroying things, sometimes they gotta go. I will not let Manny get in a death fight with a raccoon. He’d win, but you never know what can happen.

Thanks Gary, and I agree. The Olive wood they use has nice figuring.

Deleted a blade on a TL-29 to make this elk antler jack, and my Bull Buster.
See that shagbark hickory seedling? Planted by tree rats right by the front door, so I’ll dig it out and put it in a better place.
When I go for walks in the fall, I always come home with a sack or two of hickory nuts and acorns because we did not have any of those on our property. The tree rats do their thing of burying them for winter food, which is my goal ~ that’s God’s design, and it works. Unfortunately, they go for the open areas instead of my wooded back corner, so I’m always digging them out of the garden, the yard, and close to the house.
That hickory probably has a tap root a foot and a half deep.

Wonderful work on the Camillus Jeff.
Need to keep those "rats" happy so they leave everything else alone.

Nice Elk jack mod!
And I must say I do enjoy these little installments of “Fleschwund’s Garden”!

A bit overcast this morning. I took a SAK out for a walk today.

LOL! Fantastic Mr P, I wish I could swagger round with a Naval Dirk on my belt! Your bayonet is a beauty, what a terrific trio

Great pair Mr.P. Is the South rising again? They look like they mean business!

Senator Cassius M Clay incarnate!

I like the Merkator like Boker
Nice gift from Paul!

Thank you Jeff, I always enjoy carrying it, it takes up almost no room in the pocket

 

[Modoc ED]

Keeping it simple today. Headed to town for chow at the Wagon Wheel Cafe and then groceries at Holiday Market.

Glad you are on the mend Ed.

Another foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay . Nothing special on the agenda for today. Keeping me company is the usual lamb and #54.

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.

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

I just had to have that barrel, even though it's way outside my comfort zone for prices. And I'm glad I got it.

It doesn't have to be a dirty sock, by the way.

I’m just curious if anyone has one of the new Smith and Sons Mudbug? I just ordered one as I have been wanting one for some time. What do ya think of it?

Wow! That Albers - what a beauty!
I can clearly see a hypnotized zombie swirling in the depths of a river of despair … can’t … look … away …

Lol

Great pair Mr.P. Is the South rising again? They look like they mean business!

At least two of them are all business.

LOL! Fantastic Mr P, I wish I could swagger round with a Naval Dirk on my belt! Your bayonet is a beauty, what a terrific trio

Thank you Mr. Jack ........ I really like that bayonet. I just went over the steel with a alcohol soaked towel and that was all it needed.
I see that you read up a little on my great uncle Cassius ........ like I said .... tough guy Tuesday !
"Despite having been shot in the chest, Clay tackled Brown, and with his Bowie knife removed Brown's nose and one eye and possibly an ear before he threw Brown over an embankment."
