A cloudy start to the day here in the City by the Bay! Well I’ve started to get my test results back and not only is there arthritis in both hands it’s also in my feet. Waiting to hear back from my doctors so they can explain the results in layman’s terms. The important thing is that I’m still above ground and vertical! In the meantime keeping me company today the usual lamb and #23. Have a great day folks!

Good attitude, buddy.
Like my Dad said, “it’s better to be seen than viewed”.

Nothing on the plate today except to call the dealer for an update on my truck. I'll carry this SOG Stingray today. Sausage and ????? for breakfast.

Pays to have a back up vehicle, my friend.

Nice grain on that old TL-29 !

Thanks Steve!

Lamb and a Pony

Hmm. A 2” slab of that spalty wood would make a nice looking guitar.

Now that is some beautifully aged, functional cutlery Jeff.

Thanks, Bob.
Until seeing your new K’roo, I was thinking Ettrick was a brand name, not a pattern.

That’s a good one Pat. I wish Boker would put more spears on their Barlows.

Thank you! You are not alone my friend.

Wednesday, wood, ettrick.( karelian burl)

Spectacular!

Good pairing!

 

[ephsea]

This pair today. Probably my oldest and my newest.

Can you tell us more about the oldest? What a sweetheart!

Here’s that Camco for FC ephsea . They are cool old knives and this one is some of my better work.

Oh I'd admired that one before, but didn't realize you had done a rehandle. Great choice of micarta and nice job, looks really clean!

Whenever they look cooperative, it’s because I have a bag of salt I’m putting out. She looks like a steak with hair

But you need the knife to cut the salt bag, right? So we need knives to make cows happy?

Wednesday, wood, ettrick.( karelian burl)

Bob, you take the slice cake home today. What a curvy wench she is!

Decided not to participate in WW today to give others a chance . That or I was intimidated by Bob. Not that I'm competitive or anything . Just felt like this carry, my world-domination combo. Stay weird, Porchlings!

 

[SteveC]

Fantastic combo Steve. I had a lamb and pony show going on myself today!

Thanks !

My Lamb and Pony show.

Sweet !

Thanks Steve!

Thanks , It might be a bit heavy though.

I foolishly sold or traded three different 98s just after they came out, so when I was recently able to obtain this snakewood beauty it became a safe queen.

Bob, I really like the new K'roo Ettrick. Not a pattern you see too often. I've been carrying Roper and the brown Richlite #15 for a few days.

Wow!! That snakewood is incredible. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one with those covers. Very nice!

Here's another 98 for the week...

Another excellent example. Beautiful cattle knife!

How many variations did GEC make on the 98 frame? I think I see three this morning.
Any chance your Whittler is a split spring?

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe there were 3 patterns made. A Cattle knife, a Texas Whittler, and the Texas Camp Knife. The Texas Whittler is indeed a split spring. A big one.

Love seeing all these 98s coming out. I didn’t get any pictures today, but it is the same as yesterday, just a little dirtier. I need to find some oil tomorrow, started to see some rust tonight after a long day in my pocket getting wet. It got a little warm today.

Old picture, but applicable for today. Same harness in use today too.

The tang stamp puts it somewhere between 1910 & 1946, and I'm pretty sure the scales are bakelite.

77 and ‘19 Lambsfoot.

 

[Sacto]

Love your mod on the Camco, Bart!

Thanks Jeff! I’m impressed you remembered it.

Thanks. It was my first time working with paper Micarta and it was easy to work with and finished nicely. Also my first time trying the collars around the pins.

But you need the knife to cut the salt bag, right? So we need knives to make cows happy?

I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’ve got a point there.

Have a nice day

Wednesday, wood, Wonderful!!

Thanks Bob, it's the compact version with some extra pin work as decoration plus file-work

But that Kroo Ettrick is a masterpiece of interpretation, he got all the aspects right there, astounding knife

I like that the pinning does not overwhelm the ebony.
Thanks Will, I agree Willem got the proportions and curces just right.

Very kind words FC. This one is very comfortable in the hand.
