What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Your knife is a 10, which goes along with the ten point buck. It looks like his velvet is beginning to shed.

I think Stan Buzek does a heckuva job, so it's nice to hear that feedback, Jeff. Good eye on the 10-pointer -- he is just beginning to shed. That evening, he was out with his buddy, who had already shed his velvet completely...

Winding down the week with another one from Stan -- an A2 Lockback...

Considering that we're in a moderate, borderline severe, drought, my grass seems to be growing just fine

Sometimes you have to go big to get the job done, but in the case of a pocket knife it is not so.

Small Lamb and a Wards Cattle knife


View attachment 2305871

I wish I’d bought the Wards Cattle I followed on the ‘bay a few years ago, the bone was gorgeous. Probably why the bidding went crazy.
Always like seeing yours…same for that Ulster Jack, and your sweet Camillus Trapper Jack!

Love the garden photos and that peanut is gorgeous!

Thanks, Franklin!

Buffalo lambsfoot and the old Henry Sears and Sons spey today.

If I aint wrong, you snagged the Sears Spey at the knife show. Right?

Jeff, I love the garden updates. I'm jealous of your variety of tomatoes. Do you save and grow from your own seeds or order? I'd be interested in trying to find some of those varieties. Great stuff!

Sure appreciate that, sir. As a rule, I don’t save tomato seeds for replanting, because I don’t segregate the plants, and bag the flowers. Bees go from one to the next, mixing up the dna.

The cherries, though… I bought a variety named Fencerow Cherry, which according to stories, was found growing wild on a backroad fence near downstate Paris Illinois. My tomato guy discontinuef it, but it is so prolific, that it reseeds itself year after year.
I’ll pm you about my seed supplier. I only plant heirloom, open pollinated varieties. I plant my favorites ~ Mortgage Lifter, Brandywine, Cherokee Chocolate, Dominico, and Costoluto Genovese every year, and then try others that interest me.

Toted an old friend today. My old 301 that I inherited early 80’s.

Dig both the knife and the great hat!

Amir Fleschwund Not sure what I love more here, that unicorn punch or your 'maters. Good problems! Peach Mango for me, please? Since we're fessing up, I once had a dream (as a grown man) about using a urinal So remind Mrs. Fleshwund to count her blessings maybe?

Pseudo Friday Favorites. Put a good coat of Danish oil on the Osage handle of the Erickson, really deepens the color and pops chatoyance.

Peach Mango hot, or mild?

Sadly, I think we’ve all had THAT dream, but few have the guts to admit it.

Same Eagle Jack, and Camillus 68 ~ hard to put these two away.

Okay,apologies in advance. Not trying to divert from the Totin theme, but i have some photos of the garden…
At least you know my knives are not safe queens.
First thing this morning, I took out the big jack, and chopped down the basil which was thriving in the sandy gravel by the front walk. Vik the Designer complained that talk stuff should be in back. It was time anyway, they would have begun to bolt soon. Hung up to dry…

So despite us eating tomatoes every day, they are now ripening en masse, and I cannot keep up. Some, like bushels full of cherry maters are getting shared.View attachment 2305714

Unusually big Cherokee Chocolate. A little damage from the mourning doves, which I’ll pare off…

I had this down on the bench for a number of months, waiting to give it a spa day. Been out of circulation way too long, so I put it back together last night, and in the pocket today!

Can you tell me about this knife please? I presume a Northwoods but beyond that I’m clueless.

Thanks Jeff, hopefully the principal will be forgiving…

The Albers lamb and an Indian Paintbrush (state flower of Wyoming, where I visited) bone 38 special were with me…thanks TSA for not taking them out of my checked luggage .

Jeremy, when the TSA starts confiscating pocket knives out of checked luggage is when I stop flying. Hopefully that will never happen but then again I never thought I’d have to take off my shoes either.
