Mawnin' Bob! Your Horsewright and Robeson make a perfect carry pair. You get an A+ for knives today.

Mr. P, I know you know your knives are gorgeous and that's why you bought them, but sometimes I just have to let you know. Your NYKCs are, what do the kids say these days... Amazeballs? On Fleek?

My Wednesday carry. Everybody got a workout as I installed some much-needed windows in the basement and spray-foamed a lot of cracks. The Mustang did an outsize amount of that work, with aplomb.

It’s a constant battle keeping out mice, Fred! For cracks, I’ve been using a steel wool like rodent barrier, along with the foam. And new windows throughout is helping keep the box elder bugs, ladybugs, and stinkbugs out.
Last weekend, I had to climb the ladder and use Bondo to seal a hole that a woodpecker had drilled right through our siding to make a nest in the wall!
Gotta keep out those illegal alien invaders.

Thanks John, they are both great examples.
I’m very fortunate to own them.

How in the world did that thing get that lamb open?

Thanks Jeff. I was repositioning leaves last night too. Didn’t realize how chilly it was until my finger tips started burning after I came in!

Nice photos, those knives are full of character.

Thank you, Todd!

Thanks Uncle, he is wonderful. Since retiring ,about two years now, my therapy/exorcise walks with him have been great for both of us!

The experts say that walking is the single best thing we can do for health and longevity, and a canine companion, like Jack ~ and Manny ~ is a gift from God

Dad turns ninety on the 22nd, and goes to the health club every day to put in an hour on the treadmill. I’m really proud of him for that.

Carrying this one for Thrifty Thursday. Not bad for an inexpensive knife, but it sure would look better without the shield.

 

[Horsewright]

Your knives have a distinctive look to them, sir. I knew what it was immediately. Great work.


Hey, Boomer John! That must have been a treat watching a master at work!
I agree on that thumb ramp ~ good control.

Thank you!

Thanks for all the kind words guys!!

Hope your ears burn alot, Dave, cuz' people around here definitely talk (good) about ya! Everybody will know I've had a good month when I start talking about my Horsewright order. Only thing keeping me away atm is holiday budget constraints.

Another beautiful and blustery day here in the City by the Bay? Last Friday on this thread #269,084 I picked the Rangers in five and they didn’t let me down! Rangers first World Series win, congrats. Taking it easy today waiting for my daughter to come in tonight from NOLA. Keeping me company my other EO lamb and watch pocket Lil Ike. Have a great day folks!

An old house always needs work, sounds like you're further along than I am? Of course you know the tricks, like steel wool and bondo . The rodents luckily stay out of the basement ever since I sheltered a pregnant stray cat and she relieved herself on the (broken concrete) floor a number of times, and my inch thick stucco is immune to woodpeckers. But we have squirrels that ate their way into the attic, through a BRAND NEW cedar window seat I installed. Guess I get to install another :/ probably gonna dip it in poison or something this time. Looks like our termites are back again as well, after I performed 80k in structural repair all by my lonesome and had it treated. . This will be an expensive poisoning.
Hope your day is as fine as your banter and your shanks, Jeff!

Thank you sir! I'll be around for sure. Been doing this for a couple minutes now.

kneeling out in the garden is no fun in shorts…

or in a kilt.
Come to that ... kneeling (or squatting) ANYWHERE at my age is not "fun"

Another cool little whittler purchased from a fellow forum member! It’s lovely!

Headed to town in a bit. Lunch at the Brass Rail - Ravioli sounds good. Utah is resting up again today what with having chased ghosts and goblins Halloween Night. This Bull Nose should take care of anything I'm likely to run across today. Skipping breakfast.

Utah desrves a doggy treat for guarding your trick or treat candy, Ed. Too bad chocolate is poisonous to dogs.
Tell Utah that Manny said hi.

I wear shorts. Memento mori provided free of charge.

Yay!
I love that OT. And the big Camillus, of course.

Many thanks, my friend. I figured you’d appreciate the 23!
My Latin, as rudimentary as it is, translated that correctly ~ reminder of death.



“Memento mori is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death”

Kudos for taking that on yourself, Fred!
That’s a huge and rewarding task, but as you say, expensive and never ending.

“Banter and Shanks” I’ll steal that phrase

Now it’s over and out. Got stuff to do. Next time I check back, I’ll be five pages behind.
Keep up the Banter and Shanks, Porchisters and Porchistas!

I'll do that Jeff. Don't worry about Utah. She gets plenty of treats.

The two SAK's remain on belt. Toferner will be either on neck under my shirt, or on watch chain below the "Tree of Life" dangle.
I ain't decided which yet.

EDIT:
Blacklip Pearl, Red Jasper, Turquoise. MOP, Turquoise, Red Jasper, Blacklip Pearl.
The Pearls and MOP r actual/real/genuine.
The rocks are genuine reconstituted actual/real/genuine rocks.

Cute kids Barrett, love the Penguin bat costume !

Penguin-bat View attachment 2375634
That's great! Made my day

Brilliant! I was telling a feller in a Leeds DVD shop yesterday about how imaginative your Halloween costumes are! Never spoke to the bloke before, but he seemed interested!

Thanks, guys! The penguin-bat was definitely the easier costume of the two to put together. Penguin onesie , bat wings .

#68 & #15

Good looking pair of Tidioutes. (Be glad I didn’t use the shortened nickname I’ve seen some people use! Even worse than “slippies.” )

One or both of these two, (along with a lamb of course), will be my carry for this month.

A couple good looking knives there, Todd. Is the #77 cocobolo?

Always fun battling critters, isn’t it? We’ve never had much trouble in the house (knock on wood), but I’m always keeping mice out of the garage. A couple years ago a woodpecker got in the garage, which I discovered when he tried pecking an escape route in the soffit. After I got him to stop doing that, he just flew around up in the rafters, and I didn’t know how I was going to get him out. BB gun would’ve been the easy solution, but that would be a violation of the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty of 1918, so of course I absolutely did not shoot it with a BB gun. Instead I asked him politely to leave, and he did.

I’ve got these two with me today.

Bout a hundred years ago I had dinner there at The Brass Rail. Humongo steaks and their own in house wine. I remember a young man of large proportions plunking down bout 4/5s of a steer on a large carving table that we could see in the kitchen from our table. Then an older lady set too cutting off those humongo steaks. Glad to hear they are still up and running!

I’ve got the same one! It was one of my first “nice” case knives. All I’d have before was SAKs.
