This little 15 once I remove the chain and replace the bail.

Seems like ages since I've made one of my posts expressing admiration for the knives some of you have recently posted. Now that I'm "fully retired", I seem to have no "free time"! Here are some comments on posts from Thursday, mostly, but a few go WAY back.

Today, my one and only Canoe...

And, today's visitors...

Notable Northwoods canoe!
Cool to see the heron and fawn playing together!

Oh I am often on the Paris catwalk...

I KNEW I'd seen you somewhere before The Porch!

Nice trio Gary !

Thanks, Steve.

Two gems today, Gary. I love the blades on the Wrangler.

Thanks, Bart. Clip/sheep blades make a nice combo, although I like them even better on opposite ends of the knife.

Good morning everyone....time to aerate the lawn!!View attachment 2297179

That pair looked like it would get the job done, Bob! Might take a while, though.

Bagpipe Ebony SFO Lamb, and something for Ukraine Independence Day

An all-business pair of knives, Jack!

This is an iron bolstered Boker half Congress that belonged to my great grandfather. I found it a week ago when I helped my cousin clean out his mom’s house after she passed. It was stuck in the bottom of a coin jar covered with red rust.

Cleaned it up and put an edge on it. Snaps hard and cuts clean. I still remember him using it to peel apples and cut plug tobacco on his front porch while he told his wild stories from when he was in the merchant marine.

Your Case bone stag Barlow is classy, Mike!

Two fine workmen blades Gary.

Thanks, Bob.

The newly arrived Buckeye Burl again today -- pile side photo this time around...

Congrats on the breathtaking Buckeye Burl Barlow!

My dentist just got a new roof. Probably a coincidence that one of her minions called about the same time to schedule something I already told them I wasn't going to have done.

Maybe for tomorrow:

I might have to put my OKC Rat II away until I think I'm old enough to have it. It seems to have given me a lot of minor cuts and stabs in a short time.

Your Carharrt stockman looks like a winner! (I have a Carharrt single-blade Wharncliffe mini trapper with which I'm quite taken.)
I hope you and your Rat learn to peacefully coexist!

Bunny & Lamb

They make a powerful pair, but don't forget the duck that makes them a tremendous trio!

Things are mostly back to normal here today. My son ended up with a cast even though there is no fracture. Apparently it’s a pretty rare injury and there will be a lot more appointments but at least he’s on the road to recovery and no more pain with the hand immobilized.
Anyway, I had a eureka and a Krein fixed blade with me today.

Dandy knife duo, Bart!
Glad the prognosis is good for your son. At least he made it safely through most of the summer before he got the cast to spoil his "back-to-school fun".

That's a beauty, Frank! When you carry that one, this HAS to be your theme song:
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue canoe
You can do anything but lay off of my blue canoe

The 15 has been a good platform for GEC

An all-business pair of knives, Jack!

Thanks Gary

Super-looking pair Steve

Have a great Sunday everyone Shoulder injury has buggered up my carnival weekend, but I dare say rum will help Joseph Rodgers Shadow Lamb, and a T'ree Star Okapi

Cool pair Jack, sorry about your shoulder. Another pain/injury we have in common

Me too, but the samurai sword may be helping.
Jeans day at church. There will also be something bigger and bright orange.

Early dawn shot of my church knife choices, and the new hat from a fine gentleman of the Porch!
I’m wearing it in the pew right now, but should probably take if off when the musicians go up front…
Post-rehearsal/pre-service two Cases and a Telecaster. I’m a blessed man.

Today is my birthday. I'm eighty (80) years old today. A lot of things have happened during my lifetime and I've traveled all over the world. I'm not doing anything nor going anywhere today. Just having sausage and eggs for breakfast and Cindy is making my favorite - Shepherds Pie for dinner. I have put my pants on and am carrying one of my top favorite knives - Case CV Sowbelly Stockman. You guys/gals/youngsters have a good day.

Five racks for the smoker. Figured I’d break out the Schrade Walden to help me out.
