What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thanks buddy, interesting question. The book, published in 1955, doesn't give any indication, but my guess would be a title :thumbsup:

I had googled that before asking, but it was late and I didn’t put in too much effort. After a little further digging, it looks like you’re right.

Then went up to visit his grave. The cemetery sits on a hill so everyone there gets a good view

Striking photos, Jim.
I like how you honor your grandfather’s memory.
Well, that’s a special one! 👌
 
I have the same pair again because I like them. 😗
Recent, Camillus Stockman ~ recent meaning probably not too long before bankruptcy, and pre-‘70 Case. Both sporting elk antler.962DC9DC-EEE8-442D-91D0-1F89C86A2567.jpeg
Yarrow moved into this pot. So I’ll leave it for now, because I like yarrow. I had marigolds in it last year, but must have dropped yarrow seeds in there while stripping seed off deadheaded flowers.
Yarrow is invasive, but only mildly so, and if it comes up where I don’t want it, I just dig it up and put it in a better spot. Love it along fences and on edges. Although there’s one volunteer that’s the size of a medium bush out in the grass, but I like it, so just mow around it.
Here’s a very healthy bunch growing outside the end of my herb bed. So far, all that’s up in the herb bed is that big fennel plant that overwintered. 81F8BC32-13C1-4C08-BA93-5C9C3981AF79.jpeg
And here’s some along the fence. B5673D54-392D-4254-9DB1-461A97448D36.jpeg The pale green plant is lambsear. Planted both the same time as the clump by the herb bed, but it’s in the shade, so it’s growing slower. These were all moving from the backyard perrenial border into the vegetable beds back there, so I moved them.
This lambsear is happy in this bed. Lots of compost and manure.9E197F31-F43B-4464-8883-6DF3BBEAE000.jpeg

That's my plan for today Rachel, probably going to be using the twin of your Pruner :) :thumbsup:

Handsome pair Mr P :) :thumbsup:

Thanks Gary :) :thumbsup:





Blimey, I'm glad you guys weren't more seriously hurt! :eek: Falling ain't fun, as you get older, we don't bounce like the young folks! :eek: :thumbsup:

Great-looking pair Steve :) :thumbsup:

Wonderful Wostenholms David :) :thumbsup:

Thanks buddy :) :thumbsup:

I was glad I had my hiking staff with me yesterday, as 500 yards from home, my left knee buckled. Not sure what the issue is, but I'm not sure I could have got back home without the stick! :eek: :thumbsup:

Great pics Jim, it was nice to read your memories of your grandfather :thumbsup:

Thank you kindly JJ, I enjoyed some plinking yesterday, and it extended my time in the woods :) :thumbsup:

A classic pairing my friend, the cream of the crop :) :thumbsup:

Hoping to get some gardening done today, so adding a my Carl Kammerling Pruner to my Albers Jack, and I'll be using the Skrama to help me clear some bindweed :thumbsup:

A lot of very nice sharp edged cutting devices in your photos my friend . Sorry to hear about your knee but glad you had a staff with you . I have an unknown number of canes and or walking sticks placed throughout our house , garage , and cars just for those times . Don't need them as much anymore though . Take care my friend .

Perfect post for Sunday, my friend.🙌
Love the Coast Cut Co, but the house is gorgeous. Is that yours?
Still working all the kinks out of my back so I'm toting this light weight Camillus 72Y Yello-Jaket Whittler today. Don't know what's for breakfast. Might just skip it and wait for lunch.

Nice YJ version of the 72.
If a person would have been savvy a few years ago, that entire series of Yellow Jakets would have been something nice to collect. But last time I looked, they were no longer affordable. At least in my mind…
Have some hot buttered syrup, at least.

If a person knows how to make good buttermilk pancakes, or french toast, a fifty/fifty mix of butter and maple syrup heated in the microwave is a little bit of heaven, aint it?

Please, no margarine or artificial maple flavored corn syrup though!

Sheesh. If I ate like I used to, I’d be a balloon. 🥺
