Thank you, Paul.

Appreciate it, Todd.

Thanks Paul. Enjoy that fine scenery.

Stunning set of stag lambs, JJ!

Many thanks, Gary!!!

Thanks. That's pretty close to the original shape. They were used as scalpels.

Somehow, I've amassed a small collection, in varying degrees of wear:

I wonder if our primitive ancestors had more corns, or just fewer podiatrists.

Here are some ive taken at RIAT.

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you very much John

Superb pair Steve

Thank you very kindly, Jack!!!

I'll bet that's quite the handy knotty book! Speaking of handy, your marvelous Lambsfoot and Barlow pairing makes for a very cool duo!

Thank you my friend, I seem to get gifted quite a few books on knots!

A Double Ebony Lambsfoot Day for me, including the Bagpipe playing marvel gifted by Jack Black .

Happy Double Lambsfoot Day JJ, and thank you

Wallstreet and Lambsfoot

Good morning, Porcheteers. It's been a while since I've carried a "piano keys combo".

Those two pair nicely Rachel

Pretty cool that you have been able to accumulate a small collection

International Knife this week is a Carlos Quintana Taramundi I bought in Sevilla, Spain at the very end of 2014:

I always enjoy seeing your Taramundi Gary Hard to believe that it's nearly a decade since your trip

I still have some spring in my step, Jack, but I always worry that the "ping" of a breaking spring is not far away.
Splendid pair of knives you had for Monday!

I'm glad to hear it buddy, and hope the ping doesn't spoil your spring! Thank you Gary

Here I was thinking, it was for cutting the kernels off the cob.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Thank you, Jack. A dynamite pair yourself!!!

Great group of cutters, Jer.

Have a nice day, Ed. Bunny knife has been serving you well.

Two awesome knives today, Jeff. I love that 86. I was lucky to find one and its on its way to me all the way from Scotland!!!!

Thanks much, Paul. Yes, you’ll love that 86 Forum Knife. It’s one that earns it’s keep.

Hello, everyone. Things have been hectic around here, and I haven't had the time or attention span to keep up with the daily threads. I did manage to get around to putting a fresh edge on the latest Centenarian to arrive at R8shell's Home for Old and Worn Out Knives. Just in time for Wooden Wednesday, it's sporting none-more-black old school ebony.

Every oldie longs to be admitted to R8shell’s Home!
I can relate to hectic ~ I can barely keep up here.

Sweet Russell, Jim.

The bunny knife seemed appropriate (or inappropriate?) today as I brought my daughter to the fair to register and drop off her rabbit. She’ll show him tomorrow and Friday.

Inappropriate if you threatened him with it! Think he knows how it got it’s name?
Hope he shows well, Barr.

Im on day 2 with the Loewen 1038, patina coming along nicely, I had forgotten how robust these suckers are

Robust as in great snap, I’d guess.

Outstanding covers on that classic pair, Steve!


Thrilling threesome!
The words you wrote to go with the photo reminded me of an old song I used to know (but I've now forgotten many of the lyrics). Something like:
The three knives I admired most,
With covers like hot buttered toast,
They took the last train for the coast,
The day the music died.


Couple of fine traveling/visiting knives, Jeff!
My Dad did things in the opposite order fro Uncle Lloyd. When my Dad bought the farm from his dad, one of his first "moves" was to sell the pigs, tear the roof off the old pig barn, and turn it into a biker silo for the dairy cows. He kept the dairy business right up until he sold the farm.


I'll bet I could do it, but I'd have to try, I hope.


I must have seen that truck stop, since we've been out to visit my youngest sister and her family in Pella, IA a couple of times, but I'm sure we never stopped there. My daughter is a huge fan of Elf, but I'm really not. I think I've seen the entire movie, but never all at once.





Interesting tool on your Laguiole, LT! When I was growing up on a dairy farm, we had a building we called the garage, but I don't think we ever stored a vehicle in it. It was more a workshop with a workbench running the entire length of the building down one side, and a bunch of welding equipment along the opposite wall. Under the workbench were all sorts of metal "rejects" that my brothers and I thought were fascinating to dig through: horseshoes, brass knobs from old harnesses, old mysterious tools. One day we found a wood handle with a long sharp "spike" attached, and Grandpa told us that was used to release pressure from a bloated animals stomach. We never saw it in action, though.


Definitely lots of room for personal preferences and tastes in "knife life"!


Stunning set of stag lambs, JJ!


I'm always amazed at the temperature range dogs can apparently tolerate.


I still have some spring in my step, Jack, but I always worry that the "ping" of a breaking spring is not far away.

Nice farm memories, Gary.

I wonder if our primitive ancestors had more corns, or just fewer podiatrists.

No. Eew. It’s for popping kernels off the cob, ain’t it?

Here I was thinking, it was for cutting the kernels off the cob.

Yes

Possibly both, not to mention fewer options in orthopedic footwear.

It does do a pretty good job of it, if you can trust it's been properly disinfected.
