I have had that blade rap, too. I got rid of it by running a thin file down in the blade well to lower the offending high spot. The little dull spot on the blade let me know exactly where it was.
Another gray day, grabbed the Lessard SAK for some color (and the tools, of course). I'm "seeing another country" today. The Livri is new to me, I blame forum enablers. It is a remarkable knife, extremely light and pocket friendly while still offering a decent amount of *very* sharp blade. I do wish the blade didn't rap on the lanyard tube, first thing I did after cutting some paper was slam it shut and put a huge ding into the edge.Due to the unusual design of the mechanism, it's especially hard to ease close and avoid that rap.
Hope all Porchsters (that sounds like a European sportscar) have their ducks in row for turkey day. No fowl wordplay intended.
With use and pocket wear, that black Alox is going to age beautifully.I sort of figured that. Unless of course you graduated college and got your teaching degree at age 8, or my fever is a lot higher than I thought it was
Love Charlie Brown & Snoopy and all their old shows, comics, and books too, true classics
I do hope you know I was just kidding around with you, cheers buddy
And to keep with the Traditional theme, I used this instead of my GEC when I discovered a couple of loose screws on the gutter downspout this afternoon.

High Sandso. My name is Jeff, and I like a small clip on Whittlers.
Love your Texas size Camp Knife. I don’t know how long you’re going to make it your daily regular, but I fully approve.
I would probably pick something nice out of my wood stash, and handle that skeleton knife…
It looks like your

Drawknives are what I use for shaping guitar necks. And de-barking walking sticks.
Love the look of the grass.Eureka!
Every fall on my morning walks, I have been swiping seeds from the different tall grass prarie species in restored prairie areas in the preserves.
So far, I’ve established Canadian Wild Rye, Tall Indian Grass, Big and Little Bluestem, Switch Grass, and a couple I have not identified yet.
You made me realize that’s exactly how I feel this week!Feeling festive.
Lots of work getting the house ready and food prepared, but this is the BEST holiday.
Nice Jack! Is it a big one, like a #54?
Both are gorgeous, Mr.R!Bill Akers Custom Backwoods and my old onion soup Ka-Bar-Lo for Wednesday.

Headed to town for yet another visit to the doctor. Ain't life grand??? Anyway I stumbled across this old Case trapper classic this morning and will carry it today on our adventure to town. A bright spot will be lunch at the Wagon Wheel Cafe. We're going to a niece's house for Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow. It'll be a bit frantic what with kids, dogs, and unruly kids and cats. At least the niece is a great cook.

My dream big knife that I bought from a vendor, Mike, at the Badger Blade Show last spring. He sets up right inside the door, and this caught my eye 30 seconds after entering the show. He has earned some of my money several years in a row now. I think he had to pay his dues to get that booth spot. He’s smart, and always has a bunch of vintage knives I agonize over. Last year he had a big selection of Buck sheath knives that really had me tempted, but the Craftsman won out.
I’d always wanted a Schrade 165 Woodsman, and this being made for Craftsman makes it mo’ better to me.
Ran out and pulled a green onion for my girl’s morning omelotte.
2019 Forum Knife, and the
Half/Stop
Schrade Whittler to make both Woodnesday and Whittler Wednesday requirements.
That’s Jason’s battered Zippo that he carried in Afghanistan. I fueled it up to get the smoker lit for the turkey this morning.
I’ll smoke it today, and then bring it to fully cooked in the oven tomorrow while I smoke a big top sirloin beef roast tomorrow.
Enjoy your day, my friends!

That stick is a smaller limb from the big limb that broke off of a Hickory Tree that was near our house a couple of months ago . We then had the complete tree removed . I should have stripped the bark off earlier , but I had other priorities . I enjoy using the draw knife and it is much easier and more productive and then the old Taylors Eye Witness is the best knife that I have for the cleaning up .I have had that blade rap, too. I got rid of it by running a thin file down in the blade well to lower the offending high spot. The little dull spot on the blade let me know exactly where it was.

Yes, my friend. No matter what it throws at us, Life Is Grand. And sometimes it takes a near death experience, or, as in my case, having doctors tell me I had an incurable fatal disease, to make us appreciate every day.
And I’m thinking about it this morning because today’s my Dad’s 90th birthday. When I called him, he was out mowing his front yard.
My wife will go down and fetch them tomorrow because I don’t like them making the 50 mile drive home after dark.
Make it a good one, Ed!
Thanks, buddy! Cheers to ya, Mr SpaltyThat Craftsman is a beauty !
