[5K Qs]

Thanks a lot buddy My ankle is still sore, but only slightly swollen thankfully Had to cancel my walk though

Glad there wasn't much swelling, Jack. Maybe you'll be able to dance by Market Day this week!

Thanks kindly Gary...and as always for the Sunday chuckle.
I will take the mundane now, over the chaos of my earlier years.

Our dog and I tend to prefer having few deviations from our daily routines.

Nice trio Gary !

Spalty Lamb and a 4 line Camillus 67

Thanks, Steve.
Your Camillus stockman is splendid!

The Esquire is quite small, and that's what makes it the perfect watch-pocket accompaniment to a larger knife. The coping blade has 3 centimeters of cutting edge (longer than a standard #11 scalpel blade) for when you need precision!

Thanks for highlighting the Esquire's virtues, Rachel!
That's a dandy dark wood duo you posted!

I haven't seen a gas can like that since about 1970; great shot of your Case stockman!

Are you going for a personal record in "consecutive days carried" with this versatile Franco-American pair, Jer?

...
Anyway I've been hanging out inside today. Had a little insomnia last night so I did my work out, then took a nap. Now I'm watching NASCAR. Used the Old Timer to open a snack and the Old Hickory to chop some pepper and onion for eggs, but didn't take a pic of it. Old Timer and Old Hickory......should have got some Old Folks sausage to go with all the "old" stuff

Aren't there Old Cutler knives, too? If you have one, you could work that into your old-themed photo, Mike.

I suppose it’s fortunate I didn’t wish everyone a sublingual Sunday, huh?

Superannuated Hickory, and Venerable Timer just kinda lack something, Mike.
...

Couple of exciting words, Jeff!
Didn't the Rolling Stones have a sublingual song titled "Under My Tongue"?

It's been overcast, grey and dark all day. It would be ok if we were getting any rain, 'cause we sure could use it, but my rain gauge only shows 0.25" so far
Better than nothing View attachment 2215515

Cold, dank, and drizzly, with the added insult of a paltry .2” of rain.

We only got 0.1" of rain Sunday, our first rain since getting 0.5" total on May 7-8. Really dry here.

...

Have a good week everyone Starting mine with a WAynorth Lambsfoot, and a Vic Farmer

Outstanding pair, Jack!

Cool pairing Gary

Thanks.

No Old Cutler here, GT. IIRC they were made by Colonial?

I sometimes feel like I'm repeating myself and not really bringing anything new to the table.

Please don't stop! Great knives and warm, inviting pictures

It's the California DMV that issues drivers licences to eighty year old drivers that's crazy

So that's your defense Ed? "Well, they're the ones that gave me a license!"? With a sense of humor like yours, you'll probably get away with whatever it is. Just keep blasting that Amy Winehouse

Had this one for a while. Finally cleaned up the edge and dropped it in the pocket. Almost too much for even hip pocket carry. Might have to pursue a sheath

Shew! That ole girl is lookin fresh for being so old . Great find!

That’s quite a comlpliment, thanks. But I haven’t got the time
I have some other stuff that’s been in line to get done (guitars!), and besides ~ I’d be nervous about modding someone else’s knife.

Well I’ll settle for these beautiful pictures then! Great work my friend! I definitely have a tinkering threshold as well. I break out the woodworking for Christmas and birthday presents. I can’t bring myself to sustain it much past that. I can’t muster up the desire to do it for profit.

Of all the Rendezvous SFAs, this one is my fave!!! Absolutely SPECTACULAR

Here's my carry for today.

I have always liked the oily 93’s that have minimal “oilage”. Love this one!

Those hunters are beasts! That’s a fine looking knife.

Thanks Jon...right place, right time....and alot of rubbing.

Thank you.
They are some of the heaviest pulls knives of this style that I have encountered. I also have the two blade version and without the aftermarket thumb stud I probably could not open it.

Double guns.

I don't think Jack likes my Gerber. Told him it was made in USA but he didn't care.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Fantastic! You've inspired my Random Tuesday carry:

Gorgeous. And it is a quitessential Rachel carry!

Jeff, great work on the Bocote jack. I can see you will have no trouble with the Voos' filling your cutting needs.

Thanks, good buddy! Yes, Mr. Voos made good knives.
I wish he’d made others, like cattle knives, or trappers, but from what I’ve seen, all of his other knives were either little watch chain/jewelry type knives, and tablewear.
There’s another Voos, Emil. While “my Mr. Voos emigrated to the US, Emil rsnained in Germany. He is much more well known. He made a lot of daggers and fighting knives, and hunting knives.

Thanks, Jack!

Thank you. They started out as a spear blades, but I had to reshape them to make it pocketable.

Before:

Yes, ma’am. A proud tip = a cut fingertip!
So you filed the kicks?

Texdel Tuesday

Looks like a useful bit driver kit.
How do you like the Johnny on the spot? It sure looks like a great edc.

Beauriful Northfiemd, my friend.
My mind imagines it being the choice of a One Knife Guy, and aging gracefully.

Dogs like to pee in the same spots!
Maybe you could deviate by using subtle derivations of your routine and get away with it!

The Stones? I won’t … subjugate you with some of the rock lyrics I got wrong, and sang wrong in my head for years.
“Subjugate” is a synonym for Under My Thumb. Get it?
Speaking of rain, it’s raining now! Well, I’m a few miles north, close to the Wisconsin frontier. With luck, we’re getting it at home…
It’s only a light rain, not the deep soaking we need, but we will take what the Good Lord provides, and thank Him for it.

 

[r8shell]

Yes, ma’am. A proud tip = a cut fingertip!
So you filed the kicks?

Since the nail nicks were already so low to the frame, I had to file down the spine, turning the main spear into a narrow sheepsfoot. I did my best to blend the swedge, but it's not perfect. Perfectly usable knife now, though.

 

[Rufus1949]

I appreciate the info Jeff.
My one and only Voos.
Looks like a brother to yours.

I got this knife because of the pattern, tools & unique covers. Really like the black Texdel (although my eyes tell me its looks like really dark blue). The hex bit holder works, but a hex shaped hole would be better to capture & hold the bits.

Next rendezvous pickup on the carry list - this stunning cattle knife in ebony. No stops, just buttery smooth perfectly fit blades.

Lower pics taken at the the oil creek just north Hydetown near the picnic area.

Are you going for a personal record in "consecutive days carried" with this versatile Franco-American pair, Jer?

I might be there already.

I don't have a rotation chart like yours, so I don't have to worry about it.
