Thank you Jim, all the credit goes to Cosimo.Holy smokes, Bob -- that is absolutely gorgeous!!!![]()
I think the sucker rod wood is an inspired choice by GEC -- particularly combined with the wrench. Nice one, Jeff!Another beautiful custom, Bob, I've got a little bit plainer wood on my carry today.

Then he's perfect for our team.That would be my boy Sam. Looks like he will be topping out with the Anderson Area YMCA Phillies. My boy’s got the hand eye coordination of his mama.

Awesome pair! I love the stamped bolster on that Barlow
Sounds a little safer than giving them an energy drink, and teaching them to swear.You're correct Jeff. Very well put!
Grandkids are the best! Don't forget to give them a bunch of cookies and ice cream about an hour before they get picked up!![]()
Yeah, I like to go Old School!Sounds a little safer than giving them an energy drink, and teaching them to swear.

I can't wait to buy my granddaughter her first drum set!!Sounds a little safer than giving them an energy drink, and teaching them to swear.
Color-coordinating slip and knife! I'm impressed, Bart!
Captivating trio of Case knives, Rob, but that stag canoe takes the cake!All Case XX totes for Wednesday.

Cool box/book you and Eleanor created, Barrett!...
Thankfully Julie and I have never cared much about Valentine’s Day, so we do a few things for the girls and that’s about it. Over the weekend I helped Eleanor with her Valentine’s box for school. She wanted The Monster Book of Monsters from Harry Potter, so that’s what we did. (The Lambsfoot in the pic didn’t really get to help much. Most of the required cutting was more suited to scissors and an Xacto knife. I did use the punch/awl on a Victornox Pioneer to punch holes for the eyes.)

Truer words were never written!Feeling on top of the world with these two in the pockets today!
I feel blessed to have been able to acquire some very nice knives lately, but the 93 is really something special! @waynorth really knocked it out of the park with that one!

Phenomenal photo of a sublime knife on that pebbled glass!
Congrats on the French ivory barrel knife, Dan!A mostly cloudy day here in the City by the Bay! Nothing major on the agenda for today other than putting the fixings together for some NOLA shrimp creole for dinner. Keeping me company two more from across the Pond. Have a great day folks!View attachment 2496385View attachment 2496386
That's some fancy whittling you've done with that knife!
This run of sawcut TCs sure look fantastic!View attachment 2496518

Great dye job on your elk antler, Greg!Now you've inspired me, friend.Your stag Schlieper copperhead looks so good I couldn't get the image out of my head. I had to go into the knife cabinet this morning and try to find something similar to carry today. Not as appealing to me as the copperhead pattern, or the stag scales on yours, but just the same it is a very well built knife. Actually its not stag in the true sense but elk antler. I dyed the antler a few years ago to the current color as it was too bland looking for my taste originally. I was quite satisfied carrying and using it today
so thank you for giving me inspiration.

Great knives and cool photo!
Sensational pair, Steve; interesting blade combos and heavenly handles!
Good to see you stopping by, Mark!
Nice!
Jack, what ever you do make sure you wash and your hands before going to urinate. I learned the hard way many years ago.![]()
You guys don't know how GLAD I am to find out that I'm not the only one to experience that problem! I've been living in secret shame for years!I’m in good company then, I made that mistake myself once…emphasis on once!
Welcome back, Mike; glad you got your roof situation taken care of. Do you think the laundry room leaks could have been from ice dams at the edge of the roof forcing liquid back under the shingles?Case 2318 today on my trip back from Tennessee

I did do some work on the laundry room roof. I expected a broken pipe of two as Tennessee had some brutal sub-zero temps. The plumbing was fine, but roofs (rooves?) were leaking all over the place

I always admire your stag HHB, Jack, but seeing it on a chocolate pedestal is unforgettable!
Phenomenal pair!
Is that a cigar stockman model, John? Maybe 63090? Really nice stockman variant!
