My canoes this week are a Rough Rider amber jigged bone canoe (my first example of the pattern and apparently the "trigger" to my canoe obsession) and a Case burnt amber bone Tru-Sharp model.

A year ago, I was working on the final draft of my new weekly rotation schedule that tells me what knives to carry each week in each of 11 different categories. That schedule went into effect on January 1, 2023 and will take me up to St. Patrick's Day 2024 before I have to "renew" it.
But I've obtained quite a few knives since the start of this year that haven't been inserted into the schedule yet, so they essentially haven't been carried officially (although I often carry new knives around for a while unofficially so I can take photos of them). Thanksgiving Week had me thinking about all the things for which I'm thankful, and among them are the knives I've I acquired in 2023, several of which were gifts. So this week, I'm going to at least post photos of those relatively-new knives, even though they're not yet on my rotation schedule.
I'll start with a couple of canoes I've been gifted this year.
