Day four of the Moki binge. I inherited this from my father when he passed. He must have purchased it when he was living in Germany in the 90s. At that time he introduced me to Moki when he gave me a cocobolo handled Glory, which has seen a lot of carry time. It even went with me the first time I went up Mt Whitney (14,508’).
 
Today I learned the meaning of courage from a humble little bird !!!
So calm and fearless as it faced the Viper 🐍
Thank you 🙏 little bird !!!

Crazy 🤪canucks 🇨🇦 I am telling you !!! :D

I doesn’t get easier, does it? But gotta do what you can for the ‘ol bod, Wayne.
Yesterday morning, I kind of promised my wife I’d re-start my indoor working out ~ treadmill, weights, etc as soon as it finally gets too cold and snowy to wirk outside. As it is, I have been exhausting myself hauling woodchips and manure, and hauling and splitting logs. I think my splitting mauls gained weight.

Hi Jeff,
Your right there, it doesn't get easier,
Good luck with your gym routine, I always found it just as addictive as everything else. You have wonderful lifestyle going on over there jeff, I am so jealous! I remember once seeing a video of a guy building a log cabin in Canada, he was 70 odd years old, he climbed the ladder slower than a sloth to get the top sections in, but he did it. After seeing that I asked Mors Kohanski how big a house I could get for 100,000 he said about 5sq miles, LOL. I have been wanting to adopt that lifestyle ever since, I just do not have the courage, to up sticks. Another factor in aging I find.

"Resistance is a "thing" in Electrical Engineering." (Them Borg)

Canoe is a wonderful pattern and exceptionally comfy in hand.
WHEN you get o ... some ... you'll ask:
"SELF!!!!! Wide you not get these sooner?!?

I'de suggest the Rough Rider/Ryder and Marbles, for the best BOOM for the $$. 😇
If you want carbon steel, the RR (yellow) Classic Carbon/(black) Classic Carbon 2 series with diamod shield are difficult to better.

Don't believe in accidental double lambfoot days? Let me spin you a yarn...

So I took both of these knives with me on a week-long vacation in northern Georgia (saw snow fall for the first time in my life!) but somehow the Albers managed to stay packed away the whole time while the TEW, which I've dubbed "Harvey's Wood-Lottery Lamb" dominated my pocket for the entire trip!

Anyhow, upon unpacking, I got to thinking that they were pretty similar in size and shape and, especially after reading how ea42 ea42 was inspired by historic examples, I figured I'd get them together for a little comparative chicken-eyeing and coon-fingering.

Right as I got them both in hand, my GF's father showed up to wish us a happy new year, I absentmindedly dropped them both into my pocket - and an accidental double lambfoot day was born!

Happy accidents!

Two in my pocket, one on my belt.
A three bladed Klein Electrician, and for Woodnesday, my Loewenmesser and Green River. View attachment 2443620View attachment 2443621View attachment 2443622The latter two were given to me by Old Engineer Old Engineer and @sunknife last year.
A bit of lore I learned while looking at old knife catalogs online last night ~ The knife companies, Schrade in this case, showed their curved blade knives in the Electrician Knives section. As a gardener, I always called that a Hawkbill or Pruner, but Schrade called it a Skinner, intended for skinning cables. And I used to roll my eyes at ebay sellers who called a Hawkbill a Skinner🤔

Nice Show & Tell Jeff . It is easy for me to believe that Schrade called it a Skinner . My Dad was an Electric Lineman for many years and he always carried on his Tool Belt a wooden handled Hawkbill Pruner , sometimes called Linoleum Knife , lanyarded to his Tool Belt . He used it to Skin some pretty heavy electric wire and when he was up 30 to 40 feet he did not want it falling . I currently have his old Skinner .
