What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I got up this morning and discovered my bread had turned into a lab experiment. Grabbed this Buck 303 and headed to the market. It was busier than I've ever seen it with folks stocking up before the storm gets here. It started snowing just as it got dark. That's supposed to quit and then turn into a "wintery mix" and then several hours of freezing rain 😦 My location is right on the transition line. I really hope the freezing rain goes a little farther south. I'll take snow any day. Depending on the quantity of ice, there's a decent chance the power will go out 🥶 Hunkered down with a brand new loaf of bread and a bottle of scotch :thumbsup:

Thanks, Bob, it is a great cover material and my favorite among the different synthetics. Light in weight and extremely tough.

Well dadgummit. Just getting ready to go down to Gatlinburg to a pancake house, when the sleety rain started. We could get down, but the kids are worried about getting back up the mountain. Chicken yella bellies.

Oh well, this is why we hit the grocery yesterday and loaded up.

Nothing says Authentic Appalachia like a stick built "cabin" with fake log veneer. 😄

I fired up the map thing on my phone yesterday, and took a drive. Was really tempted by "Live Alligators", but stuck to my plan of visiting the big knife store.
The place was mobbed. And sadly, saw nothing I needed to buy at full retail.
 
waynorth waynorth was kind enough to send me this old W.D.Herbert last summer. I finally had a chance over the holiday break to give old "Paul Toynbee" a spa treatment here at r8shell's HFOaWOK*. (Home For Old and Worn Out Knives) All he needed was some oil for his stiff joints and a sharpening.

Thanks, Charlie!
He's already made himself useful this morning, cutting string and poking holes in stuff. ;) 👍
