What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

This is my hospital SAK carry.

Though they supplied me with some great knives as you can see. ๐Ÿคญ

I used my SAK to open packets,stir my tea (when they forgot a spoon) and the toothpick after meals.

I think the food they gave me was meant for the doggy hospital down the road. ๐Ÿ˜‚



They kicked me out on Christmas eve,someone had written Merry Christmas on all our head boards overnight as we (tried) to sleep,a nice gesture.

See that TV in the photos below I could not tune it into the BBC it just had all these random numbers and squiggles instead. ๐Ÿ˜…

Good job I took my Ipad.

I wrote some inspirational lyrics from the Boss on the board in my first room (they moved me once) but they didnt seem to appreciate it and had no idea who he was or why I did it.


I should have used this version I just made up.

"Well we busted out of the ward,had to get away from those Doctors.
we learned more from a 3 minute CT scan babe than we ever learned in Hospital"




























Sending all the good vibes your way, my friend!! ๐ŸคŸ

Hope you are mending well. Be careful using a beloved personal knife on hospital food, especially that red blobby thing on the first plate!
 
In today's mail call. Prize won in DocJekl DocJekl 's recent give-a-way. (not my entry. one of those who entered for me was drawn)

Adding to pocket with the D2 Marbles sowbelly stockman.

So happy you like it!

You're succumbing to the fact that single blade clip points are awesome.



My 319 Proper is one of my most carried knives. I hope this clip version works out well for you.

My first proper was a drop point, but I liked the clip Point better. But almost immediately after getting the clip point, I then another found one in S90V and carbon fiber. I thought this is perfect - I could have a fancy one and have a user.

But I never used micarta version, because I have a Giantmouse ACE Farley pre-sharpened and lanyarded by Gary W. Graley Gary W. Graley as my modern user; so I thought the extra Proper would be a perfect giveaway knife.

I hope you had a great Christmas after they released you on Christmas Eve. Stay well!
 
I haven't tried any maple or ash in the smoker yet. I've pretty much settled on the apple. I like the sweeter flavor it adds to the pork and chicken. I've used all the old, non-producing apple trees from our property, but with all the orchards around, there's no shortage of it.

Yeah, apple is nice and mild. I still have a few chunks left from my jonathon tree.
Otherwise, I just use what I have here.

You donโ€™t often hear about ash for smoking, but with the massive die off from Emerald As Borers, I have a lot of it. And Iโ€™ve found it to be fine for smoking.
I do have a bunch of baby hickories that Iโ€™ve started from seed, and I figure Iโ€™ll have some good hickory for smoking in about eighty years.

My carries for Xmas Eve and the day itself. The 39 actually looks like an ornament to me, so it's been the choice for dismembering packaging the last two years.
The children were spoiled, again! Nobody got me those gift certificates to Horsewright I asked for. And if it makes you feel better Jeff, nobody asked to use my knife either. :confused:

Hope all Porchlings had a Merry Solstice and/or Happy Holiday of choice!
That grinch ornament looks like jiki modus operandi

Wow Pete. This one is always a favorite. Saturday or not, I can always use a little Glenn magic.
Finally found a Boker that makes me happy. Is that maroon micarta? "Duh." ๐Ÿ˜

I like it when a fella knows what he wants. That one looks great with the brass birds eye rivet. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Hope you get well soon, my friend! Sounds like you spread plenty of cheer during your stay. I hope that returns to you in good health.
