When knives are well made, they enrich many lives for many generations.
Very nice pair.

The most expensive pocket knife I ever bought, the last BF forum knife under $100, and a generous gift which I had the notion was a forum knife but doesn't say so.
Maybe just the 2020, so I'll use it.
I need to give longer shrift to Charlie's excellent Barlow, too, though.

Putting the City Slicker to hard use opening my tablets.

I use a knife as if I push it in the little tablets fall out and roll on the floor.

I bet you are thinking overkill.

Very nice photos Jeff.
F&F, plus a TL, set for a days work or honey do's.

Thanks, Bob!
How did you know Mrs Fleschwund referred to cleaning the house instead of working on guitars as she swept out the door this morning?

Going to town soon - post office then the grocery store. No stops to eat. We had to rush "Utah" the Doxie to the vet yesterday afternoon. She developed a golf ball size lump at the site where they performed a biopsy the other day and it bled internally. Now we've got meds to administer to her twice a day. I'll be carrying this Scout Trapper today. Not concerned about breakfast just now.



"Utah" the Doxie the day we brought her home 7-years ago. She was nestled between my arm and the late CoCo.

Total trust, love, and devotion in her eyes.
Tell her greetings from Manny, my friend.

Good knives and view. What river is that ?

Tree rats can be destructive pests.

Good pair of knives

Thanks, David. That new one of yours looks fantastic.
I know that some folks love the antics of tree rats and ground squirrels, aka: Alvins.
Not me.
They really are destructive.
I’ve let my four bird feeders hang empty, for the first time in decades, so at least we don’t have breeding nests of chipmunks under the deck.

When I lived in SF (Persia Ave near Ocean) we didn’t have AC and didn’t need it. Hardly considered it summer because almost every day was overcast, windy, and mid 60s. Once we visited our daughter’s friend in Pacifica on one of those rare days when it was sunny and in the 70s. Her friend was complaining that it was too hot.

I live in the San Joaquin valley now and have gotten used to the heat. Only a few days at 112 this year. And this first week of October has been 100-102 every day. Our thermostat is set at 79, and my wife, who is from the Philippines, says that is already too cold.

Continuing the Moki theme, this cocobolo Glory was a gift from my father almost 30 years ago.

I gave my brother in law one of those knives as a way of encouraging him to set aside his usual pocket clipped flippers, but don’t think it’s working.

Finally got around to cleaning the Tennessee mud out of my boots.

That’s why my garden shoes have flat soles.
But you have hit on an excellent non-equestrian use for that horse shoe cleaner!

Dropped in my pocket after the mail delivery today!! Thanks, Logan!!View attachment 2680994View attachment 2680995

Hey Mr. Charlie~ congratulations on the new Waynorths I’ve been seeing lately! Love it.

Delightful dye job on your classy canoe!


Handsome seasonal bone on a splendid knife!


Covetable cattle knife!


Sorry to hear about Utah's recent health issues, ED, especially if she gets so freaked out at the vet; hope she gets well soon.
Our dog Gandalf has spent lots of time at the vet clinic, but seems like a pretty good "patient". The techs all seem to love him. Saturday, Gandalf and I were walking past a tennis court in a nearby park. There were 4 people there playing pickle ball, and one of the women yelled, "Is that Gandalf?" I didn't recognize her, but she used to work at the vet clinic years ago and still recognized the dog.


Thanks, David.


You're welcome, Bob; glad you like it. I haven't read many of the blog entries there; most of them looked like they were clothing oriented toward styles that are too dapper for a slob like me. I tend to be a souvenir t-shirt, flannel shirt, carpenter jeans kind of guy.


Laudable lamb and charming Churchill!


Notable pair of knives, and it's coll that you're dating like it's 1999!


Beautiful bone!!
Cool hanky under the knives.


Flabbergasted!


Cool crimson copperhead!
(Its luck must've leaked out during last Saturday's game. )



I'm also a big fan of those French barrel knives; mine has oak covers, not as classy as your French ivory models!


Good story, Jeff, and similar to our experience with wisteria. We planted it at a back corner of the house, hoping it would climb and cover an arbor over our new brick patio in the corner between the back porch and back of house. It did eventually cover the arbor, but it tries to go well beyond that. Earlier this summer I was cutting out at least a dozen vines that ran along the foundation all the way to the front of the house. And the house is mainly brick, but has wood trim and "asphalt" shingles. I don't think the wisteria does the wood or shingles any good, so we're frequently doing wisteria removal there. I also have to guard against it getting into an oak tree whose branches get close to the edge of the arbor.

Thanks, Gary!

Thanks, Will

Thank you Will. There's not many natural materials that age this gracefully. The pruners covers are top of their game.

Two blade Tidioute Tuesday! I'm smitten with this 81. Bill & crew are out to ruin me financially, my Single-spring thing leaves me powerless against these 32's and 81's.

I'm with you. That's a beautiful example FC!

 

[Modoc ED]

Tell her greetings from Manny, my friend

I'll do that Jeff.

Staying home with "Utah" the Doxie. Carrying this 6235 1/2 Swell End Capped Jack. Sausage and waffles for breakfast.

 

[ephsea]

Got dressed this morning, picked out these three to complement a Blue and Peachy-Pink plaid shirt. I thought to myself, "Darn FC, you are so vain!". Then another part of me retorted "Don't talk to yourself that way, it's not nice." And promptly received this response "Stop denying the patently obvious, it's a bad look. After all, Carly Simon did write that song about you."
Sometimes these voices get together and agree on something, like buying a pretty knife.
Whatever you all are doing today, try and enjoy it!

The Pony Jack a underated tough,old work horse of a knife.

Often my choice along with my workshop alox SAK when doing mechanical/workshop work.



The Sun came out hurrah.

Of course by the time I had my bike on the stands it had gone in again and back to rain (what a surprise in England).

I gave my 95,000 mile Kawasaki ZRX1200r ELR 2006 model with my original 2003 bodywork a good clean and brush up.

Then a few minor adjustments and oiled the chain.

Kawasaki did a darn fine job making these bikes,the places this bike has taken me.


I must admit to still being very,very tired it was physically demanding especialy in the storm weather.

I need a holiday after my holiday,I wouldnt change a thing though.


No my bike stand does not sing Swedish pop songs from the 70s

I can’t be the only one who wants to see the shirt.
