What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

When stationed at Vandenberg AFB CA 25 years ago my bride and I would often walk the deserted beaches on the weekends looking for shells. Finding abalone shells, even just broken pieces, was a rare treat. I tried to make small jewelry pieces with the shells but gave up ... too hard, too brittle. A while back I gave Charlie Bell a shell that we had picked up and he was able to get two single pieces big enough for this 3" single blade sowbelly. The waterfall shield goes with the ocean motif and is also a sowbelly approved shield. 2D photos can't capture the immense chatoyance this beauty has but I'm not a video person so these will have to do. Even with the intense scrutiny of my macro / full frame you can't see any pins. 100% handmade by Charlie.

When I find NY Strip steaks with this much marbling ... it's a no brainer.

Smoked, then reverse seared. Kissed by fire char is off the hook. Have a great weekend!

Glen does great work. That’s an 881, right?

Costco must have a good price on alcohol, judging by the number of people I see loading up on it there.

It was so fun we did it twice on Wednesday and again on Thursday. I hit enough rocks I’m not sure my tailbone could handle it again today. 😁

Oh it was certainly not in the pocket during the game - left it in the car. But I had it on me before and after! Baltimore? They won’t let you in with an umbrella because it’s considered a weapon 😆

I thought maybe just California was worried about pocket knives but sounds like it’s everywhere. I once went to a game and realized I had a GEC 14 in my pocket. Didn’t feel like walking back to the car so I put the knife in my wallet, put the wallet in the bowl that goes around the metal detector, and they handed me the bowl on the other side!

If you use the picture imbed tool (icon next to the link tool) instead of the video imbed tool (icon next to the smilie tool), you can get the picture to display in the post.

(BB code should say IMG instead of MEDIA)
