Why do the English talk about the weather so much? :rolleyes:

No idea I said to myself as i got my winter gear out that I had put away last week. 🤭

Today was...one minute dark foreboding,cold and windy the next minute the Sun was out and it was extremely pleasent. :oops:

Driving home my car was hot from the Sun and I am thinking wish I was on my motorbike.:cool:

Turn the corner into my road,it goes dark I park up and hail and rain lashes down, the sky goes dark.

Open the car door and my seat is immeadietly soaked as hail drives in sideways,by the time I go 20 feet to my door I am soaked through.😁



England there is no place like it,no wonder we hopped in our little sail boats and went looking for somewhere more pleasent to live. 🤣🤣🤣

That sequoia is only 150 years old. You should see what the 2000-3000 year old trees are like. Pictures don’t do them justice.

My old reliable SAK climber I am carrying today. It helped me open some packages and put on some replacement weatherstripping on some doors in my house. I woke up early today to sever thunderstorms waking the doors in my house sound like banshees they wind was blowing so hard. I thought a tree limb was about to come down.

Lastly is my newest finished knife. The capered crusader...I am still working on a name for it. It is a little caper knife blank I finished off with some antler my wife got from the pet store a few years ago, most likely whitetail would be my guess. I definitely learned some things with this one. It is quickly starting to become a favorite just for the looks. Now I just need to make a sheath for it.

Often a SAK is all you need,I remove the key ring bit it’s much better in the hand without.

I like your knife the Capered Crusader sounds like a good name to me.

Or what about Caper Blanc (Kepi Blanc) as it’s white?

This has been a canoeriffic week for you.

One of the things I always wonder when I see canoes (or muskrats or mooses (meese?)) is how many springs they have.

I'm a huge fan of two-spring stockmen, but have limited interest in three-spring stockmen. In the same way, one-spring canoes (or muskrats or mooses) catch my attention, but two-spring versions are less interesting to me.

A 4-canoe week is definitely a happy time for me! 🤓 :cool:😁

Tyson, I have dozens of canoes, but I'll bet less than a half dozen of them are single-spring models (and I'd guess that they're all relatively old).

Did you ever look at a Case 6347 stockman? I don't know off-hand when that model switched from 2 springs to 3 springs, but I think I've seen photos showing that the "new, improved" 3-spring model is actually slightly thinner than the old 2 spring model. And with 3 springs, there's no blade krinking, which appeals to me. The current '47 stockman is my favorite Case stockman (except for the sowbelly).

Locking Knife of the Week for me is a Camillus electrician:


International Knife of the Week is a laminated birch Opinel No. 8:
