Excellent Pairing, GT.

Wowza... That Red Bone is GORGEOUS!!!

So great to see the Space Lamb.

Another wonderful #66... GEC was on-point with their jigging and color that day.

[WValtakis]

Metal Monday The Douk-Douk may have simple sheetmetal construction and a handful of parts but it all adds up to a VERY capable folder in a slim and trim package.

This one replaced my mini copperlock a while back. The front bolster design/blade angle on the mini bugged me for some reason. No regrets.

 

[Peregrin]

5.5" Dan Crotts design Dozier Arkansas Made in D2, and dyed Maple Burl. Nice little knife. It came with a Kydex neck sheath. The CK pocket sheath fits it perfectly.

Sabre, Camillus, Case.

I’m happy that you’re bonding with the Sabre, Jer!
I don’t remember ever seeing that Camillus Fish Knife before, but it’s awesome.

Thanks pal !



Nice pair of Waynorth's !



Sweet Barlow Jeff !




Sweet pair Paul !

Thank you, Steve. I was pretty overwhelmed when Harry, Old Engineer gave it to me! He knew I’d treasure it.

Have these 2 Northfield Safe Queens in my pockets today :

Harry

Bringin out the Big Guns, my friend. Thanks for the view!

That Horsewright is so fine…

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.


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


Very impressive; congrats!


Thanks, Steve.


Very classy knife!


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!


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?


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!


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


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.


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


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!

I can relate to falling behind here, Gary. So much to do.

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

Great jigged bone on that Peanut, Mike.

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

I read you post about your church project to Vik. When I got to the part about how much sugar goes into it, she said “no wonder I like apple butter so much. Saturday, she stopped in at a small family’s orchard. It was their final day of the season, so she got a great deal, and loaded up. She “discovered” them last year, and likes to support a small, local Christian family’s venture.
She usually cooks up huge batches of applesauce to freeze, but maybe I’ll try canning up some apple butter??

How many years have you been doing this with your church family?

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.)


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.

Greg, you remind me of the wise saying about performing music for an audience ~ “Don’t overplay. Always leave them wanting more”.
Instead of just a teaser, I’d love to see a full photo of your home made quiver.

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!!

I would have come home with that SAK in a hearbeat.
Where on earth did you find a real old time hardware store??? Those are sadly a dying breed.

Roughly my age (1940s), this knife looks a bit better than I do, but we get along fine; it's in my pocket today!!! Case XX big Jack - 6231 1/2 - genuine Redbone - 3 3/4" of Snappy walk and talk!!
Just worn and patina-ed enough to be used and carried without devaluing it!! Love it!!View attachment 2373130View attachment 2373132

You’re right, Mr. Charlie ~ that’s a super Jack!
Thanks for letting us see it.

Great little piece of cutlery, Gary. That smooth maple looks quite inviting to the hand.

54 Micarta Big Jack, and Paul’s Queen (my only Queen), and my Woodsman today.
And my first cup of coffee of the day.
I don’t know how to title this photo~

“There’s a lot going on in my pants”

Or

“I have to go through a metal detector”


There’s so much to do!
Snow supposed to visit us tomorrow.
Our son in Denver sent this pic last night. My grandkids shoveling …

I am mesmerized looking out the bedroom window at the leaves falling like a blizzard from the Norway Maples. The freeze last night must have been their triggering point.

Woke up at 4:30 this morning and watched a 3 hour seminar entitled, "The Best of the Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems/Munitions Response Meeting" If that won't get you going first thing in the morning, I don't know what will
I now have enough continuing education credits to renew my P.E. license

Pretty blue skies this morning and our first frost. It was still raining when the temp dropped below freezing last night, and the leaves were froze stiff enough to support the weight of a pocket knife

All y'all have a good Monday

 

[JohnDF]

Good Morning Porch Sitters

 

[mbkr]

Great jigged bone on that Peanut, Mike.

Thanks, Jeff
Case's pocket worn whiskey bone is a good one. I have a Triballock in it around here somewhere.

 

[screened porch]

I don’t remember ever seeing that Camillus Fish Knife before, but it’s awesome.

Thanks!
There's no model number on it, either. This one is slim even for a single blader. It feels like nothing in the pocket.

With the Sabre jack.

Went with the 29 today. hope everyone has a good start to the week.
