I'm almost a week behind on this thread. We'll see if I can ever catch up, or if I just give up and jump up to this week.

Bye bye Jess Horn, off to a new home,…Ouch!

I can imagine you'd be sad to see that one go, LT!

Well as a few of you Will know I have been trying to complete the full set of Blade forums knives . It all started with the first one I got from Brian Smith , the stag Barlow by Queen cutlery , that sparked an interest , and for the last five years I have been hunting down the rest of them . Thanks to the help of some good people and my bank balance being battered lol
I have finally taken delivery today of the last 3 knives that complete the set . I think there is a couple of specials that were not actually the annual knife , that I don’t have . But was lucky enough to find an Eric’s knife. So here is the full set in all its glory
God knows what I’m going to do now I have them all View attachment 2365585

Very impressive; congrats!

Nice Canoes Gary !

Thanks, Steve.

I’ve got a Buck helping me around the house today…View attachment 2365723

Very classy knife!

Thanks, Gary, you are always SO gracious! I have Gidge in pocket right now.

Kind of you to say so, Jeff. I try to occasionally let folks know how much I admire their knives. Speaking of which, that's admirable wood on your Albers lambsfoot!

Unless I'm stalking like Juan Matus.
"But Don Juan! You told me I was being too obvious!"
"Now it's obvious to everyone that you're hiding."

Bloodwork,

I'm of a generation that should be open to Castaneda's revelation of a Yaqui way of knowledge, but never read any of it. I was probably too busy at the time trying to understand the way of knowledge of my own culture.

Does the blacksmith on your Imperial remind you of your phlebotomists?

KA-BAR-LO (Union Cut. Co.) and my Bill Akers Custom Backwoods for Tuesday.

I really like the small print on the bolster of your Barlow almost as much as I like the small script on some Cattaraugus Barlows!

The covers did come out rather well. They are wood products of Glennbad.

I don't care what the score is, as long as I win.

Thanks for the info about the covers of your flaming knife, Bob.

Mrs Fleschwund is off work today, and has declared it to be WINDOW WASHING DAY.
Oh boy, what fun.

About the end of April, I put washing the windows of at least the main floor of our house on my spring/summer to-do list. October is almost finished and the windows are not.

Good evening porchsters,

Oh Yay, Oh Yay, Oh Yay

I bring glad tidings, yesterday, unbelievably, two knives which had been missing in action for years turned up within hours of each other. The lovely senator, one of my favourite patterns. I had one lost it and missed it so much I bought another and then lost that. it turned up jammed in the sliding track of the car seat, I only found it because the seat would not slide back whilst looking for my wallet.

Second but by no means any less important, my lovely Buck 110, I have not seen this for over 15 years, I opened the box took it out of the case had a quick look put it all back together in the box and never saw it again. Looking for a toner cartridge for the printer in the loft it was jammed in an old bookcase. the patina on the brass is like nothing I have ever seen before, it looks like copper.

Congrats on the return of those missing knives! The handle of the 110 looks really good.

Thanks, Gary. For a whittler I like a clip main, coping and pen secondaries I suppose. My ideal cattle knife would also have a clip main, sheeps foot and punch secondaries.

Thanks for the info on your blade preferences, Greg. When I was a kid back on the dairy farm, I used the punch on my scout knife for all kinds of stuff. But as an adult in the city, I hardly ever use punch/awl blades other than for occasional scraping.

Very attractive handle on that knife, José!

Does the blacksmith on your Imperial remind you of your phlebotomists?

Lately, yes. The last two times they've been lured away from my inner elbow by the flashy surface veins toward the outside, which apparently squish out of the way when stabbed at.

Thanks, Gary. I carried my 440C Horsecut Antique #73 to church this morning, and switched to the forum Wharncliffe this afternoon.

Been around 40F and rainy all day. NASCAR on the TV. Scrambled eggs with green bell pepper, onions and jalepenos, Tennessee Pride hot sausage and whole wheat toast for lunch. Between making eggs and taking a shower, I feel pretty accomplished today
Oh yeah, took some pics too. Had a heck of time with the lighting. Finally decided the reflections are part of the pic. An artistic expression if you will

Got photobombed by the frog

These two today with two cans of the apple butter we made this weekend.

What a great picture.

Thanks my friend. Good to see ya back around here. (btw; my hand crafted knife slip from you is still getting a ton of use and aging well. Its my favorite and gets a lot of well deserved compliments from others I show it off to.)

Very cool picture, Greg.

Thanks Paul. My wife loves to decorate for halloween and has a pretty good collection of creepy items I can use for props.

Bloodwood 86 for me today. Have a pleasant Sunday folks.

Stumbled across this SAK ‘Astronaut’ in the back of a display case at a good old-fashioned hardware store. Based on what I’ve found, this started off as a Master Craftsman and was renamed Astronaut in the late-1980’s. It’s a pre-1991 version, so it’s more than likely been sitting there for 25+ years … it was time for it to go home!!

Absolutely epic sir!! Thanks for sharing

Sunday morning coffee time. I like these new coffee cups my wife got, makes for great shots with my traditional’s

View attachment 2372837

Great coffee cup. Shaped for the hand to fit around.
That knife would look great with a Styrofoam cup.

This is my pair for Sunday’s best.

Thank you Rick, the lamb gets out quite a bit and the fixed blade is on the belt most weekends.
