What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

Looks like your magic worked, Jack! I saw a couple of posts from John DF recently.

Sad circumstances, but it was nice to see him post

Black Friday.

Certitude is for mugs, but the Schrade Walden is likely, and The Imperial for the knee therapy is highly probable.

Not a Hubble Space Telescope photo - just 28 year old General Motors clear coat paint on my canoe car...

Here’s what’s on me this fine morning. I picked up this Rosecraft jack knife on a whim and I’m pleasantly surprised with the overall quality.

Pool and poker today. Starting with this one (three days in a row!). May change it out later. Maybe not

Nice shot! I picked up the ironwood on release, but I'm thinking I should have gone with that mint green bone.

Have fun, Mike! Nice carry!
Inquiring minds want to know. Is that a Magnolia tree?
I've got one right outside my office window.

Sak Walker this morning with us. When Jack goes into alert mode somethings always around.

I saw the radar on Sunday morning, and hurried to take the dog out before the morning front moved through. But then we got nothing from it. But Sunday afternoon a brief but intense storm came through with almost a quarter inch of rain, and intermittent showers on Monday produced almost 0.4" more. So our June precipitation is within 3" of average to date.


Jeff, when I see photos of your green stockman with the big pictorial shield, I often mistake it for a second as one of those GEC 88 sowbellies with the alligator shield.


Look at "dem bones"! Beauties!

That's a lot of time in the hands of health care professionals! You both should be good for another 6 months or 6000 miles, I hope.



Ben and Jeff, your knives have wondrous wood!


Love the black knife and matching dog! (Pup looks like a couple we used to have - toy poodle?)



Jiki and FBC, I admire the chains you guys whittled!

Classy canoe!


Congrats on your new Eisenhower - I Like Ike!


Thanks for your comments on your Rosecraft knives. I've heard of those knives, but know very little about them.



Congrats on your new pair of whittlers!


Impressive ironwood!
The GEC 88 seems like a splendid pattern.


Welcome back, Bart!


Cool Pocket-Eze pen knife, Bob!
And I wasn't even aware of the existence of those Titusville lambsfoot models, but suddenly they're popping up here! BF is where the action is.

Great way to begin the holiday Mike....

Stay safe everyone..

Have a look at pairing your harvrster with a minichamp I do. With a little caribeneer clips in pocket easy. I do prefer the thickness over the classic.

Better safe than sorry
Knowing my luck, Jack would be okay & I'd get hurt. It's happened to me before.
Nice pics mate.

If I wasn’t in a Long Term Relationship with a Wenger Esquire, which is on my spare car and house key ring in my left pocket, I’d look at that!

Nice pair! Who made the cattle knife? It looks very much like one of my High Carbon cattles that Camillus made for Sears.

There are plenty more expensive knives, and most are better looking, but few are functionaly superior.

I feel the same about several patterns, the ‘Buster being right up there.

I know it’s not Wednesday but I love these two. View attachment 2235633

It’s ok, Todd. We like seeing them, too.

Thanks, Todd. It was nice to get away for a few days but I’m back home now. I traded 70 degrees and afternoon thunderstorms in the mountains for 100 days in the valley

Nice “discovery”, Bob. I want to know where you’re looking (slightly before you look there)

It’s funny you say that. Last week I was out irrigating and had both of my dogs with me. There were two juvenile coyotes in the pasture. They came within about 15 feet of us before my dogs noticed. Then all four of them took off running around the field. When they got kinda far away I whistled and my dogs came back. I don’t really want my dogs to chase other animals, but this seemed more like they were just playing around.

Coyotes are devious. They lure dogs away to where the rest of the pack is waiting.
We live near a long north-south glacial ridge that runs 20 or 30 miles (2nd highest point in Illinois, I think, and the .gov installed a super secret radar installation there right after 9/11). Large packs of ‘yotes travel up and down the woods and fields of the ridge, seems like they follow the rabbit populations. And we have a ton of rabbits right now, so I expect the howling and yipping soon. Sometimes, they’re going up the creek 30 feet from our bedroom window.

I saw the radar on Sunday morning, and hurried to take the dog out before the morning front moved through. But then we got nothing from it. But Sunday afternoon a brief but intense storm came through with almost a quarter inch of rain, and intermittent showers on Monday produced almost 0.4" more. So our June precipitation is within 3" of average to date.

Our rainfall turned out to be closer to 1.25” last week. I might mow today.

Another quarter inch the other day helped, but I still have to water the garden.

Another foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay! Had to turn the furnace on when I got up to take the chill off the house. Never gets set above 65 unless the Boss says otherwise. Giants play later but no other plans for the day. Y’all have a great weekend! Keeping me company today with a nod to Black Friday will be the new EA lambfoot and Executive SAK.

Gonna have a relaxing weekend and 4th of July. Nothing planned unless a niece calls and asks us to a BBQ. I was gonna carry a yellow composite covered Sowbelly today but realized it's Black Friday so, I'll carry this Sowbelly covered with Black Curly Maple instead. Sausage and pancakes for breakfast.
