Admirable Sunday Best knives, Jeff! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

Happy Father’s Day everyone!

I’m carrying the Eureka that my father-in-law gave me for Christmas in 2019. It was my first GEC and started me down quite the slippery slope. Much honor to him today for hooking me into this hobby.

The Conductor was my early Father’s Day gift from my wife. She’s 👌🏼.

Wondrous wood! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Thanks kindly, Gary, for your ever generous comments.
You're welcome, Bob. :)

And an even greater gift from @Prester John
Excellent! Vince is invincible! :cool:🤓:thumbsup:

Quite the collection those canoes must be, gathered together, Gary. Two fine canoes to begin " rowing" through the coming week. Hope it's a good one for you.
Thanks for the kind words, Bob. Here's an old gathering of canoes that I need to update:

Thanks, Gary. "1912" is the serial number. The knife was made in 1990. The wood is cocobolo, I believe. Very nice gift from @JohnDF.
Thanks for the additional info, Vince. :)
John's generosity is legendary! I miss his regular participation.

(Love that film! :D)

Thanks buddy, must have had too much time on my hands that day! :D :thumbsup:

LOL! :D Yes, I don't think there's any controversy in that my friend, it seems to be a universal truth unfortunately :rolleyes:
...

Have a great week everyone :) :thumbsup:

Thank you very much Gary, I think I was lucky in choosing this background for these photos.👍

dental extraction on tap for later this morning … hope everyone else has an excellent Monday!

Superlative pair of knives! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
Hope the extraction "came out" OK. I had a couple of teeth removed early this year - what a pain! o_O

Thanks for the links, Gary!
Was wondering how I missed those threads, but realized 2012 was my year in the hospital.
After taking pics of today’s pocket companions, I changed my mind after seeing the TL-29 mod thread.

I decided to put the Pal back, and dug out my first FrankenKnife.
Glad you're finding them interesting, Jeff. :):thumbsup:

I picked these last night.
SW rope knife because I plan on cutting a whole lot of baling twine for supporting tomatoes, which will be needing that pretty soon.

... I really need to repair it before I use it, so I took this one out of the cigar box that’s dedicated to knives I have fiddled, fettled, and farted around with. Camillus TL-29.View attachment 2223728
Happy Micarta Monday!
Really like that 3 wood knife photo, and I like that modded blade on your Camillus! :thumbsup::cool::cool:

One evening in the near future, I’ll sit down with some sandpaper and bring the burlap Micarta up to a shine just like my 47. It has a buddy now!

I’m very glad you like it my friend, and thank you for the kind words! I can’t wait to see the finished product after you shine it up - the depth you’re able to get out of that burlap is phenomenal. It’ll be a great pair for sure.

Happy hump day all. Carried these two yesterday and again today.

Ren-Wax do a Rust Remover, which is used by museums Jeff :thumbsup:
Thanks for reminding me that I’ve got this concoction, Jack. I have used it on flat surfaces, and it worked fairly well, although it still needed the wire wheel on my bench grinder. I’m a bit skeptical about it’s ability to creep insideof those tight joints. We shall see. 7DC5DC91-04C8-4AB8-BED3-A2069435908D.jpeg8FD33131-3832-4313-BE77-F75A69F30C71.jpeg

It is Woody Allen's film Sleeper Gary, made during his 'funny period'! :D ;) Thanks again buddy :) :thumbsup:


After the kitchen incident, he was excused babysitting duties! :eek:

When had you planned to have them removed Gary? 🤷‍♂️
 
I guess I’m lucky that my carpenter’s Wrangler jeans have good and plentiful pockets. I can even tote my fine German made garden trowel in the long skinny pocket on the right leg.🙄

long skinny pocket on the right leg.

That is the best pocket. It used to carry my cell phone when they were actually a useful size instead of today's gigantic smart phones.

Anyways, I've been adding these leather bits to the ends of my side pocket knives and they stick up high enough to pull it out of the pocket easily.

The side pocket knife is usually the beater. Today it's a MAM that hasn't seen much use yet, but it's ready to go!

Edit: I guess portrait mode doesn't like the leather fob I was trying to show.... sorry!
