You aren’t the only one - What a pair that is! Very nice.

Family started arriving for Thanksgiving. Started a brisket early this morning so I could add it for the finishing touch on a big pot of Brunswick stew to keep everyone happy. 2# of bacon, 3# ground beef, 2# ground venison and 4# of brisket. Now it’s time to start opening bottles of wine and enjoying a house full of friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Need details! Not to disregard the knives as those are nice as well …but what’s the ride??
 
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.View attachment 2399774
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.View attachment 2399775That’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!
My friend your cutlery selection is great. The food sounds mouthwatering. The lighter steals the show.
Happy Thanksgiving
 
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…
You inspired me to be a little bit productive today. Nothing special, but it does make this knife much better to hold. Some Brazilian rosewood scrap from a previous project. Only problem is my Chris Reeve pocket sheath no longer works. Guess I need to make a new sheath too.

Looks entirely mouthwatering🤙

What are you cooking for tomorrow?
Thanks. Just added the potatoes to finish it off. Another hour or so and it will be ready. Paper bowls and plastic spoons are on standby.

Tomorrow will be a stereotypical Thanksgiving. About 30 people, and luckily they all bring something. I only need to take care of the turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and breakfast for the people who show up early.

Wharncliffe and Wooden Wayne Walker Wednesday. Still loving Ol' Humpy here on Humpday, just got her off the KME last night and boy is she a razor!

Nice group today FC. I’ve had my eye on the Livri for a while but just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Kinda like a lot of knives I guess😁
Thanks Bart. Under a hundo to my door, and it's one of very few pocketknives I would actually just drop into my pocket without a slip, even cycling this wouldn't bang around or make a hotspot. You may like a lot of knives, but you seem pretty hung on that Krein Tk-1 😄 It's a privilege to have/use great tools. Even cows dig it.
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.
I was thinking of jamming a scrap of leather or cork down in there first, read that trick on here somewhere I think.

Happy Turkey Day to Porch people everywhere! We did ours Sunday, so I'm headed over to Ellis Wyatt Ellis Wyatt 's tomorrow because he's made me hungry *again* and, who can tell the difference between 30 and 31 people?
