Just started snowing about a half hour ago and is sticking nicely. It'll make for a cautious trip to town in a couple of hours. Feels like a sturdy knife day so this 6231 1/2 swell end, capped, jack will make a great carry. Skipping breakfast for lunch at the Wagon Wheel Cafe and a stop for groceries on the way home.

Congrats on your new Selfe custom; it's great that you're so enthusiastic about it!I've been collecting knives for the better part of 30+ years. Mostly fixed blades & one-handed opening folders, although I do have quite a bit of manufactured Traditional knives. This is my very first hand made traditional knife & I love it. It was made by Matt Selfe of @Selfe Made Knives in the UK. I'm really happy with it. I like that I can pinch it open too, because I have a bad habit of biting my nails. It has a half-stop & the pull isn't too hard. Very smooth action overall. He used RWL-34 & green micarta. I really love this blade profile too. It's so useful for my needs & easy to sharpen. OAL is 7.25"
It's called The Native

and a Wards Cattle Knife 
Steve, Travman, David, and Rob, each of you posted a pair of outstanding knives!
I'd have a tough time deciding which is the more desirable knife in each pair.
Have you seen your pen knife, baby,
With its shadow pattern?
Happy Sunday
Buck 501
Very classy Bucks, Mike and ED!I'm gonna follow Mike and carry my Burgundy Burlap Micarta 501 today. Chorizo and scrambled eggs for breakfast.
You might be right about the Best Case Chestnut, Chris (although I'm real fond of my chestnut Sodbuster Jr and Sowbelly Stockman, too.That's the most well-worn DF lamb I've seen thus far!I wonder if they do re-blades?
Chestnut, CV, straight edge... Not much to complain about! First one I've seen come up for sale, so I HAD TO HAVE IT.If I'm being honest, I think the two-blade swayback still holds the "Best Case Chestnut" trophy.
Did you know that Case made a YELLOW teardrop???
Absolutely stunning!!!
Will, that bocote serpentine Sheep Herder is a stunner!
I hope your mother-in-law starts getting around on her own ASAP. It's good you could help your dad with storm repairs.It's been a busy weekend...
My mother in-law twisted both ankles in a fall, luckily nothing is broken. It could've been alot worse.
Mrs. Hoovie & I took her some meals so she doesn't have to worry about cooking anything & can focus on resting. The @glennbad Schrade helped to cut up some flowers to cheer her up.

Later on this afternoon I went down to my parents to help my dad fill out some of the washed out areas & repair the foundation for their house from the previous storm damage. (Still repairing things from hurricane Helene)
The BF knife continues to ride shotgun in pocket.
It's been a while since I've had to mix concrete/mortar mix in a wheelbarrow. Can't say I missed it...

I hope y'all are doing well
I know what you mean about mixing concrete/mortar in a wheelbarrow!
Years ago, my wife wanted to repair and extend a stone wall that ran along the alley next to our property. She did all the picking which stones should go where and putting them in place, but I was the guy who moved stones to where she wanted them and kept her mortar supply ready. (At least we had a redi-mix guy bring the concrete to put in the trench we dug for a footing.)I love my Pocket Pals, but an alox version like yours is even better, José!
Thanks, Bob.Beautiful example of a Case canoe Gary.
It's one of the few knives I have that is intentionally not used (although I'm not sure WHY I don't use them).Yeah, I tend to call "destination" weddings "detestation" weddings.Never had to grit my teeth and attend a far away destination wedding, fortunately. But two in Michigan, one in Iowa, one in Florida, and now this one because the nieces, nephews, and/or their spouses to be live there.
I'm beginning to understand why my parents chose to stay home the last couple.
That navy blue bone Tribal Lock with the red shield is certainly not gloomy - W
W! Well, it's one for the money,
And two for the show ...
Couple of checkered white bone stunners, Bob!!
Couple of classic knives with your colorful corn crop, Jeff!
Have a great day.
Brassy, sassy, classy 303, Mike!
Yeah, I'm always grateful that you were willing to sell me those RR stags, Jeff!Great knife, GT, I seem to remember having one similar a while back.True about the slimness . . . sublime in the pocket!
Superb knife, Greg!
Your canittler is a champ!
Those "dogs" look like pups from the same litter, Rob!
Stellar stag you have there, Mitch, and that oak lamb always reminds me of Isaiah 61:1-5 in the Bible where some people who have been rescued "will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."Stag & oak

Once in awhile an idea actually works out, where I don't want to put it in the back of a drawer.
