I think you're right ........ I know that look. Maine Coons do that too.
I think it only lasts till you go out the door ..... then time for some lumber jacking ( i.e. sawing logs )
Very neat pic of the Old Timer with the K9 .......... no we can't be satisfied with K9 .... we need a name.

That's a pretty interesting eureka jack!
What's the story behind the main blade? I've never seen a clip version like that before

I had a knife guru “clip” it for me, I like it a lot better

 

[JonMcD]

I agree with this patina.

Her name is Dixie. We got her as a rescue about 8 years or so ago when she walked up in a friends yard. She's been a great companion ever since

Edit for added pic.

I agree with this patina.

The polished blades always give out the best patinas

Zach, I know what Dixie is thinking, “Just throw the ball!” My hats off to you for rescuing her!

Thanks & yeah that's her "Another knife pic"... "You already took one earlier"..."That ball isn't going to throw itself you know"...
There was no way we were going to let her wind up at the pound. She was too good of a dog, all she needed was a good home

Thanks for the name !
......... with those stunning brown eyes against that shiny black coat and the little touch of white, she would be a fine pairing with a fine vintage knife !
Looks healthy too !

P.S. - minus the pink collar, of course !

Quite the capable blade comb Pat.

Thanks Bob, these blades should be all I need..

Today was my daughter Scout’s fourth birthday, so of course I had her Nifebrite #15 Scout with me.

This is the same knife I was carrying the day she was born, and I’m sure some of you will remember that I post a new picture of her with the knife every year on her birthday (a tradition I started with Eleanor, our oldest, and her Nifebrite #71). And, of course, I always have to re-post all the previous years pics as well.

Here she is the day she was born:

On her first birthday:

Her second birthday:

And last year, on her third birthday:

Here’s she is with her knife today:

We spent the day at the Minnesota Zoo, which is a pretty popular birthday activity for our girls. The weather was nice and we had a great time.

Here’s another first birthday to fourth birthday comparison (because the girls always insist on a picture with this tortoise sculpture). They sure grow fast!

I mentioned a while back that I was experiencing some frustration with the camera on my new iPhone compared to the 4+ year old iPhone it replaced (particularly when taking knife pics). I’m still not thrilled about some aspects of the camera on this phone, but I was impressed with the 5x telephoto lens, which I hadn’t used much before today.

This wolverine must have been on his union-mandated break when we passed by.

Here’s one for any fans of the GEC Beaver Tail series.

Unfortunately I hadn’t paired a Beaver Tail with Scout’s knife today. I went with the Sudbuster instead.

African Blackwood (48) vs Macassar Ebony (86) for wooden Wednesday. I'm not sure if there are noticeable benfits for one vs the other. Both can have brown streaks, and both are very hard/dense.

Love the grain on that 86!
