today 
Two great knives that belong together.
Potent pair of Barlows to kick off the week, Jack!...
Have a good week everyoneStarting mine with a couple of Barlows, the Camillus being a gift from Brian @Fixall
That's a fancy Five Oh Tee, Jon!
On the course in 2 months is a guarantee With which I'd be very happy, Bob.Thanks kindly Gary.
The only guarantee I received, was to be on the course in two months.
Perhaps I can get him to cover my loses for awhile.
Beautiful brace of black bareheads, David!
Sorry about the Bucs loss, Todd; we Lions fans are unsure how to handle this season's results so far.Well, the Bucs took it on the chin yesterday.
I have the day off today so I’m getting it started off in my favorite way.

for continued recovery @Peregrin and

As a "canoesseuer", I really admire that breathtaking Bulldog canoe!
Congrats on your big Opinel, John!I have been after a number 9 or 10 large Opinel for a while.
This old no 9 I bought at the Sharp show (that I cleaned up a little) will make a great garden knife.

I'm not usually a big fan of clip blades, nor do I typically carry full size trappers, but that certainly is a handsome knife!!
Congrats on the new Puukko, Harry! Quality quintet of knives in your post!Carried these 2 to coffee and lunch and then outside yard work .
Added these 2 to the lawn tractor toolbox for the yard work Grohmann Bird & Trout and a gift from @sunknife
Then about 5:00 P.M. Fed Ex delivered something that my wife ordered exactly one week ago from @Will Power 's country of Finland
From Kauhavan Puukkopaja : 125MM Blade of Carbon Steel with Dyed Curly Birch and Reindeer Antler handle . Scandi Grind with a micro bevel
Since it is made in Finland , it is a Puukko
Very Pleased with this knife .
Harry
Keep up? I think you're getting ready to lap the field!
Very appealing slim lockback with outstanding bone/jigging!
Thanks, Stuart.
That big Italian sheepsfoot is one of my favorites, Jack.Looks useful Gary
Drop point blade and aged stag bone make that a superb knife, Will!Recently, @waynorth Charlie initiated a very rewarding thread about GEC's early years which is also an important reference point.
Dug out one of the Old Golds to carry and use today, most of my early GECs are 'useless' in that they've been in use and therefore no longer mint, desirable, scarce and coveted by the collector..... Actually, they're rarer and there's one less in the US due to me

Good morning Gary,On the course in 2 months is a guarantee With which I'd be very happy, Bob.
My guess is your health insurance (unless it's original Medicare) will cover wagers during your rehab.
I recall a recent post in which you said you're moving to a cane soon. Will that be an actual cane, or will you just hold a 5 iron by the head and use the shaft as your cane?

~ Harry, something told me you weren’t going to wait until next March for the Badger Blade Show to get your paws on a Puuko. You’ve really McMastered the skill of symmetry and proportion.
I know…
Can I assume this is your new M&G you were waiting for? Very nice.
Yup. Even though I personally use every knife I have, I respect those who try to keep some pristine.
I’m joining you in totin the big S&W. I simply love that knife.
I do the same with Opinels, Gary. But only for a quick slicing cut, like harvesting lettuce. But be sure to lock it any time you’re doing a push cut!
Ok. Now that you’ve worn it in just right, never open it again!anyone seen one of these
this is #173 all oiled up and the pen blade broken in with hundreds of openings until pull was reduced to a solid seven
That's probably exactly what will happen. That big wharncliffe should be all I need.Ok. Now that you’ve worn it in just right, never open it again!
Yep, that's a little Klein. I don't know why the tang stamp is ground off. Maybe it was a second? The original brown plastic covers were nowhere close to fitting properly. Wanted to try working with bone and it came out pretty well, I think.
Now, there are two beautiful classics, which sadly, will probably never be reproduced.
That K'roo is interesting
An otnat blade in a gunstock frame. How long is it?
That K'roo is interesting
Congrats and kudos to Bob and Paul for the generous gifts! The K'roo knife as a whole reminds me of a rifle and bayonet, pretty cool if you ask me.
