Nice knives. What variety of garlic did you raise? I like Romanian Red Garlic. Have grown it for years.

Decisions decisions. Good problem to have

LOL

Yeah, too many (IMHO). Made an initial thought on what stays and what goes earlier this year. Been revisiting the list every month. There's a core group of knives emerging, a few others shift back and forth. At some point clarity will hit and I'll make a final decision.

(edit - not laughing at your post, laughing because I agree and I have too many decisions...)

Very kind words Jeff. Just some oil and a coat of wax will be applied. This lineman has steel liners.

Jeff, your displays are an education and a " candy store " for my eyes.

Nice ofbyou to say, Bob! Steel liners narrows down it’s age, eh?

Thanks!
It’s been awhile since I bought the seed garlic. I think I bought two varieties, Red Chesnok, and a white one, maybe Music. Both are hardneck.

Gordon, I believe many of us face decisions like yours. One can only admire and carry so many knives.

Jeff, my limited knowledge is based on Goins' Cutlery Markings.

Ayup. For me, I've passed the analysis paralysis point. And with three Teardrops arriving (hopefully) this week, I can be paralyzed a bit more when I re-adjust my "keepers" list.

My goal is a small set of holiday/ special occasion traditional knives, a few modern knives with some strong memories attached, a couple one-handed moderns and multi-tools, my most-used and carried SAKs, two to four small or medium fixed blades, and my most-liked traditional patterns. Much less than the current horde, still way more than I need, still plenty to admire, and easy to set a carry schedule so everything gets carried and used.

I wish you luck Gordon. My task is to send my modern knives on to a better place.
Following that, I can get back to my old/ new slipjoint carry routine.

The Gentleman from Sheffield, Mr. Jack Black , will justifiably compliment most pairings that include a Lambsfoot. For good reason.

I shall drink your good health kind sir

Those two look good together Steve

I'm busy here at Grumble Towers, the ferrets need to be scrubbed, the whippets smartened up, me best clogs polished, and my flat-cap ironed. For tomorrow is Yorkshire Day !
