Thursday

Friday work carry, actually sitting on the work ( a scrap piece of casing I was using to get the shellac flowing off my rubber ).

On the run again, got a Scout campout this weekend so likely won't be back on the porch 'till next week. No hope of catching up, but rest assured it does *bother* me that I will miss seeing some of your knives and hearing about fun fall weekends.

Nice carries and may your grandson have a great birthday.

Thanks Bob! Nothing like a bunch of seven year olds running around a place calle, “Rock&Jump” .

Thank you much, Rick. It is my attempt at a Bird ‘N Trout Knife.
I looked on the internet til I found one I liked, and holding a piece of paper up to the computer monitor, traced it.
Then I ground it (slowy, with a lot of H2O to keep from overheating the steel) on my bench grinder out of an old flea market file. Moved on to the 1” belt sander, then to sandpapers stuck to a flat piece of marble. It’s nothing fancy, grind-wise, mostly flat, slightly convex, very sharp. But I’m not a real cutler…

Very good carbon steel in old files. And they were 99 cents each at the flea market.

Elk antler scales from the dog chew aisle in a store, and a homemade sheath.

Looks great Jeff. Would not known it.

Today I went places in my car I normally only go on my motorbike,needs must.

I took my lovely IXL (another from Robert) I like the name as much as the knife.

Maybe its a childhood thing?


What strings, I cant see any strings.

There have been a couple of very nice stag Grohmann's posted recently. I've had a rosewood Mini Russell for a while now. Its a nice knife and I quite like its rather unique shape. I don't carry it often, but that's more a symptom of too many knives Anyway, it had a couple of minor fit and finish issues. It's very slightly proud. Not really, but close enough that the blade can be opened if one runs the tip of their finger along the groove:

It also has very slight blade wobble. Not enough to be a bother, but I'll admit I like it better when there isn't any play when a knife is open. Its a good knife. I like enough that I bought another one. Can't pass up a good deal
The new one isn't proud and locks up tight I also think the wood on the new one is prettier
The new on is on top.



What surprised me is the extra thickness. The handles on the new one don't blend into the bolsters, and the overall width is noticeably greater.


The tangetch is different:



I like these Grohmann's. I think that at some point I wouldn't mind picking up a fixed blade. Maybe a Bird & Trout.

The car's packed and I'm ready to go tomorrow. If the weather cooperates, the plan is to do a massive leaf round-up early in the week, then get fed a meal that can't be beat by my cousins
All y'all Americans have a good Thanksgiving, and safe travels if you're traveling. Everybody else have a good Thursday. Maybe eat a some kind of bird
I'll try to check in from the cemetery occasionally

Its where I go to get a good cell signal

A cloudy rainy day here in the City by the Bay! Just got back from my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Along for the ride with a nod to Stag Saturday an EO lamb and Lil Ike. Watching some football and preparing for my grandsons seventh birthday party tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Doing some grilling after a long week. Y'all be good

Yikes! It's almost 5:30pm on Saturday and I'm just getting to Blade Forums.
Laundry, Leaves, Groceries, Dog Walks took up more time than I'd have predicted.
I still haven't posted the canoes I'm carrying this week, so I'd better do that before I rotate knives tomorrow.
Mohawk stag canoe from AG Russell (would have never been aware of this one without LastRodeo 's help!):


Rough Rider stag bone canoe (RR's early stag bone, as shown here, was nothing to write home about, but IMHO RR stag bone has improved a lot since then):

Idk why I love that so much. I guess it's just my inner kid & my love of gunstocks lol, such a cool combo

 

[JonMcD]

Thanks kindly Jon..I'm checking into knife rehab soon.

I’m not sure I approve of this decision

I was never a Scout, but I'm pretty sure this is what it feels like when you receive your first merit badge. @Rufus1949

Here's to my porch promotion:

Thanks again, Bob!! The level of generosity and kindness within your character should be something that we all strive to achieve.

Love this. The Waboom is lookin good !
