Unexpectedly, this is the one that's seen the most pocket time over the last few weeks.

I just noticed that the mice had been playing while the cat was away. Don't know how I missed these the other day ......... but, given time ...... I noticed !

Totin' my Primble Barlow for Sunday ...... already put it to use this morning.

Very nice barlow Mr.P.

Haven’t been able to carry my favorite GEC in about a month. Thought I’d rectify that today.

Another foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay! Looks like it’s going to burn off early but in my neck of the City it’s been known to clear and roll back in an hour later. Went down to Redwood City yesterday evening to see our new granddaughter and it was a bit warmer down there. No big plans for today. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! Keeping me company today is the usual lamb and the Modoc Special!

Too hot to do anything outside so, it'll be a relaxing day inside. NASCAR later today. Sausage and eggs over easy for breakfast.

This one and wishing the best for the Ontario folks losing their jobs

I've been a fan of Old Hickories since 1980 or thereabouts.


All any of us can do is endeavor to persevere.

Everybody have a blessed Sunday

NASCAR rescheduled for tomorrow, Ed. Have to find something else to do. Maybe watch The Outlaw Josey Wales again

Really like the fake stag on your Craftsman whittler!

David, I saw your photo in 2 threads, and it was only the second time that I saw it that I realized the blade was open on the knife on the left!
Perfect came patina for the board your knives are on!

Lotta good wood in that photo, Steve!

...
A fine looking pair of knives, GT.

Going with a pair of straight edged blades today.

Thanks, Jeremy.
Your black and blue knives are an OMG ovine duo!

Celebrating wood Wednesday...

Celebrating in style; cherish the Churchill!

There was a time when enterprising Americans went to Japan to get knives made up, rather than China, and Solar was one of the names used, a bit like Rough Rider today, but this is long before the internet. If you compare the knives to Parker Cut Co, for example, or the scandalous Japanese-made IXL Barlows, you'll see the connection

Thanks for the Solar info, Jack!

Capable Canoe!
Is that one of RR's carbon steel models? If so, I have one just like it that I'm proud to own!

We bought fresh pumpkins one time and sliced and dehydrated them for her; she loved them! All those veggies/fruits mentioned are supposed to be good for the dogs as well as being low calorie. Loretta also loves fried crappie filets, but I’m not so sure those are so good for her. We’re supposed to get her Friday to keep for a week while our daughter and son-in-law go on vacation, so we need to get a supply of vegetables ready.

Our dog seems unpredictable, especially with fresh fruits and vegetables. He almost never wants apple chunks, he spits out slices of baby carrots if he thinks they're too old, and this week he's even been finicky about broccoli stems and pieces of green pepper, which he used to NEVER refuse.

Grabbed my favorite b&m peanut this evening to go out, and reminded myself of what a stellar piece of cutlery it is. This 70+ year old celluloid hasn't even thought about gassing, the F&F of the covers to bolsters is near perfect. 6 pulls, smooth, crisp and snappy!

Outstanding, Jeff!

Thanks, Gary. Yep, still not sure how I got to this age so quickly. I always thought medicare was for old people, not ME!
...

Yeah, a week ago I saw some guys I went to college with, some of whom I hadn't seen in 50 years. We were all surprised at "how time flies".

A couple of nice ebony knives for Wood Wednesday

Black Beauties for sure!
(And I was a huge fan of the "Peanuts" comic strip back when they were new.)

Thank you, Gary.

This tool is for the studs on footballers' boots.

Thanks for the information, José; I'd have never figured out on my own what that tool was for!

I toted this knife last week and lost it! What a sick feeling. Thankfully, I found it this morning. I will tote it more carefully today. Have a blessed day everyone.

Come on, Greg! Give us the details! Down in the muck in a horse stall? Cushion in the La-Z-Boy? Doen between the car seat and the console?

Thank you kindly Harry. I believe the beetles are under control. I wish the birds from our bird houses would feast on them.
Be well.

Bob

Never seen any predators chasing Japanese Beetles. But I see they like the wild grapevines, and Hollyhocks, so I use them as decoys. Harry’s right about soapy water ~ it blocks their air intakes. I use Neem oil on food plants, though.

You mentioned the volume of my amplifier…
I knew it ws going to be a good day when the soundman got my attention during soundcheck, and told me to turn it up.

I just noticed that the mice had been playing while the cat was away. Don't know how I missed these the other day ......... but, given time ...... I noticed !

They were made to be used! I always feel bad when I take them our at the end of the day to clean and oil them, and realize I’d never used one.

The classic Blade Forum knife posed on the thigh in the car photo. It rivals the fencepost shot!

Yup, I do keep my neem oil around.

Carried this today. Queen City mini trapper. After being on vacation for two weeks and then playing catch-up with stuff around the house this week I thought I might take some time to get caught up on this thread.

After looking I’m 93 pages behind so I might need to either work on it this week or just forget about the ones I missed.

We thought about "endeavor to persevere" for a long time. Then we declared war.

I wound up with these three at church.
