Congrats, Jon. I hope your family settles in, the kids make some new friends, they like their schools, and I hope you get that storage container emptied out, and you turn it from a house into a home before you leave for your cruise.

Beautiful pocket knife, Greg, and well photographed as always.

I grabbed these two French lock back jack knives today.

I’ll echo Bob’s question on that wood ~ it’s gorgeous.

Urban jack today.

Talk about a break in the matrix ~ a cattleman looking at his pasture, carrying an URBAN knife!

Nice day for a lunch walk.View attachment 2211398View attachment 2211399View attachment 2211400View attachment 2211401View attachment 2211402View attachment 2211403View attachment 2211414

Great photos as always! Thanks for the view.

Just returned today from my 65th year high school reunion and also to see a brother-in-law who had open heart surgery .
There were a surprising number of Old People at the reunion .
Re-cycled photo of todays carry .

Harry

I hope you got to see some old friends, even though it must be strange seeing how old some of them are! Any knife people there?
It was good talking with you yesterday. I love how you give knives to family members.

I've been carrying this Pioneer X in my left pocket for the last 4-5 years. The scissors and bottle opener gets the most use.

People may not realize just how handy SAK scissors are.

Staying inside, the air quality is BAD. Time to retube Amp and enjoy some LPsView attachment 2211486

Ugh. You remind me that I want to order some tubes for my Fender Pro Reverb, and Mesa Boogie. I have the tubes selected, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. If you want to use the good old ones, preferably NOS, it’s quite expensive!

After carrying that pair all day, Paul, you must have had sweet dreams that night!


Your stag HHB doesn't need any back-up!


I can believe that, Bob!


Sorry to hear about your horrible air quality, Bob, but your knife quality is first rate!


Nice shot of your Owl in a (pine?) tree, Mike!
Was the annual appointment the yearly "Medicare consultation"? Did you have to remember 3 words? Both my wife and I, who had our appointments a few months apart, had to remember "banana", "chair", and "sunset" (or was it "sunrise"? How soon I forget.).


Thanks, Jack.
Thanks for the Black Sea info. You'd think I'd have more geographical knowledge about a country called Bul-GARY-a!


Thanks, Steve.





Classy White Owl, Todd!
Would you ever consider smoking a not-very-classy White Owl cigar when you carry that knife??


Jeff, I hope strong coffee, the feel-good knives, and an antibiotic will get you healthy ASAP.


Striking bocote grain, Jon!


Is there enough space on The Porch for me to get one of those beds with an electric motor to raise and lower the head of the bed?


Sweet pair, Steve!
(Is Lamb and Pony Jack related to dog and pony show? )


Commendable collection of canoes!!


When I hear "Böker Barlow", that's still the knife model I think of!


As always, that Camargue Cross is captivating, JJ!


Thanks, Bart.

- GT

Thanks for the well wishes, my friend! Yes, three days on antibiotics is starting to help. I’m just glad the wildfire smoke is not as bad here as it is out east!

About that hospital bed ~ being able to raise the head is great, but what’s really comfy is being able to raise it in the middle, too to get your legs up.
We could make room on the porch for one, but let’s all try to stave off home health care for awhile!

Sweet old Redbone Case, my friend!
Any idea how old it is? Pretty sure it’s pre-1970…

Congrats!

Thanks GT I'm a couple years away from Medicare. I did have to fill out a survey regarding anxiety/depression/insomnia. I told her I work hard at living a drama free existence
Its a persimmon tree. It flowers, and for a brief period every year buzzes with bees - a friend once asked, "What's that noise?" as he stood under it - but it never bears fruit

I think you need another persimmon tree for pollination. Most persimmon trees are not self pollinating, so a single tree won’t bear fruit.

“People also ask

Do you need 2 persimmon trees to produce fruit?
American persimmons are not usually self-pollinating, but some named varieties are. If you choose a native seedling however, you will need a second tree to get a good harvest. Also, Japanese and American persimmons will not cross pollinate.”

Love the SM chopper, but where’s the usual fixed blade? Planning on going into town?

Carrying Old 496 today.

Is that folder on the right a re-covered #71 Bull Nose, or something else? Whatever it is, it looks great!

Mid to late '60s, I think.

Totin my Schrade 294, which for me is about perfect, along with the Schrade Walden Linesman. Posed on a garlic plant.
My garlic patch is about 12’X15’. If anything in my garden is marketable, it’s probably going to be garlic. I have been selecting the largest bulbs for re-planting each fall, and it’s paying off. The plants are just starting to form scapes, which you can see here. That’s where the plant would flower and produce seeds. We cut those off (and eat them), so the plant puts all it’s energy into growing a larger bulb.
Potatoes and beets looking good. On the left is a row of turnips just starting to poke up, and left of thet, two rows of bush yellow wax beans which should pop up soon.
Walking out front, I took a photo of these two little Redbuds, which always make my think of my son. At my parent’s church, the church I grew up in, and we were married in 42 years ago, they built a Memorial Garden in which we put some of his ashes. His brother chose the wording and scripture on his stones, Isaiah 43:1 ~ “Fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by name, you are mine”
There’s an old Redbud by the Memorial Garden ftom which these tiny seedlings had spread. They were only six inches tall when I dug them out and saved them from the weed puller people.
So now, I think of him when I look at these nice little trees.


Have a fine day, my friends.

Glad you are feeling better Jeff and yes be thankful you are not in the northeast.

The old tubes can be costly, especially when you buy matched quads.

I can only acknowledge your loss with silence. Allowing you to remember your son with fond memories.

Thank you very much Jeff . It was great to talk to you again my friend . Seems that I am always waiting on a woman every time I call you .
I did get to see a number of old friends and Nancy is also an Alumni from the same school and get together is for All Alumni . Our class was only 38 and 17 have passed and only about 10 were there . The last class graduated from there in 1960 . So the youngest graduate there was 81 . If there were any Knife Persons there , other than me , I did not know about it .
I have , over the years , given our family members probably 20 + Northfield knives and that number will be going up . All of my Grandsons have a Stag Northfield .
Take care my friend and I hope you Kick that Bug soon .

Unless I’m confused, which sadly does happen, this is the second 110 drop point you’ve shown us this week.

I thought of you last evening as I rolled the trash can down the driveway with Manny’s enthusiastic company.
I had to add something this morning, and just happened to be watching when our faithful Sanitation Engineer emptied it. When the raccoon carcass rolled out he never batted an eye.

Nope, the knife with the Anvil tang stamp is a Buck 112; however, I can see how you did a double take. This week I've had a Buck 110 and a Buck 112 - both with drop point S30V blaes and nickel silver bolsters and frames fall out of our mailbox.

We haven't had a raccoon in the dumpster yet.

I sort of guessed that was the case, but never looked it up When I bought the place, there was another persimmon in the back yard, but it must have been a male also, because neither one produced fruit. Or maybe it was just sick, because it died within 4 or 5 years. Cottonwoods are the same way. There were two in the front yard and the male didn't produce cotton, but the female would turn the yard white.

I have an EL34 based stereo amp. NOS were mucho dinero. I've had good luck with Russian tubes vs Chinese, but wonder what supply is like given the current state of affairs. Its been a while since I bought a set.

All plans fell apart yesterday when we got word that Cindy's sister-in-law was rushed to the hospital. She lives just up the road from us. So, we're doing the Wagon Wheel Cafe and grocery shopping routine today and adding a visit to the hospital in the rotation somewhere. I'll be carrying the dynamic duo today - Bunny #525 and Buck 055 - the Buck in it's sheath on my belt.

Thanks Jack, I hope you have good weather for market day !

Any filters?

BF barlow and the '19 lamb today. Hope everyone had a great day.

Smashing combination Paul

I suspect you have the same affection for Bexoid that that I do for Genuine DuPont Delrin. Not only was it the material used on my knives in the ‘70s, but it’s tough and durable, and affordable, which makes it the Working Man’s working knife.

I definitely do Jeff

Congratulations Jon

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

If you're only carrying one slicer, the Hartshead Barlow is one mighty fine choice!

I grabbed these two French lock back jack knives today.

Thank you JJ I hadn't previously noticed that your Alpin had a lock A fabulous combination my friend
