The GL-24 has pretty much become my always knife, and since we headed out to winery to have lunch with friends, I felt like the Opinel was a good addition. Unfortunately I didn't get any action shots at the winery, but I think these knives look pretty great even just sitting on an ol' stump.

I probably won’t ever be able to get another Albers but it’s really grown on me and I’m happy to have at least one for a user.

Enjoy mate!

I think Eric's micarta shadow pattern clip point is probably as close as I've seen anyone get to my personal ideal knife, but odds are low that I'll ever see one in person, much less own one. But the GL-24 is delightful, and will see a lot of carry from me. If this is my only Albers ever, I sure couldn't complain at all. (This would be a great choice if it was my only knife of any make!)

I'm glad you got one too!
 
Echoing @JonMcD, doing some property repairs & cleanup after Hurricane Helene came through & clipped the Carolina's on her way through here.

We didn't get hit directly but the winds were still bad enough to damage a lot. It blew some siding & the shutters off of the front of our house. I found one shutter at the neighbors property, I have no idea where the other shutter flew off to...
I'm repairing some damaged fence today. Luckily we have power now. Both my parents & in-laws are still without since yesterday morning... They are currently running generators for basic amenities.

At my grandfather's property a tree fell & took out his carport along with his truck & two tractors. You can barely see his pickup, a blue Ford tractor & an antique red IH Farmall Cub under the mess.

I hope everyone in the South-East U.S. is doing ok after the storm, & also our friends abroad. Be safe everyone.
Glad no family was injured.
 
Decided to make a couple of walking sticks today, dug this one out out of the needs help box. Gave it a quick cleaning, the carbon steel takes an edge in a minute. Off to strip some bark…IMG_1109.jpegIMG_1111.jpeg

Staying home today. I swear - it seems like we stay home more now-a-days than go somewhere. Anyway, I'll carry this SS Crimson Peach Seed Jigged Bone 6347 Serpentine Stockman in my pocket. Sausage and waffles for breakfast.
