No we won’t eat this one; it had to be released because it was oversize. Under 18” and over 27” are not legal to keep.

A couple of gifts from a couple of extraordinary BF members (you know who you are). Love both of these knives.

Prestigious pair, Tyson; that ash handle is especially nice!Alox Solo and Ash lamb today.
Congrats on your first Opinel!
I have several, and almost every time I use one of them, I wonder why I mess around with any other knives, from a purely cutting perspective.
Frank, your wharncliffe copperhead is a gem!
Fantastic fotos (and food), John!Out on the moors yesterday (Dartmoor that is) hunting for the Hound of the Baskerville.
It’s absolutely stunning in the sun but will be bleak and stunning on a cold winters day as well and be very foreboding.
77 for the win.

I really admire that yellow sowbelly stockman you've been frequently posting recently!
Yearn-worthy Euro-wood, Dan!A damp and dreary day here in the City by the Bay. Staying warm and dry again at home with nothing on my agenda. Keeping me company with a nod to Wooden Wednesday these two from across the Pond. Have a great day folks!

Harry, that bonestag wharncliffe trapper is outstanding (and the set of walnut Rogers bone behind it is nothing to sneeze at)!!This in my pocket for today .
Harry
Cool custom, Buzz!I’m mostly through my first of three weeks of an Adirondack Mountain vacation. Just got back to my cabin after a few days in the wilderness. My sole carry was my custom made alox SAK.
Wondrous Wednesday wood, Steve!
Glad you found that one, Mike. I have a Case yellow pen just like yours that I think is a really fine pattern.Case pen knife I hadn't seen in a while. It had been sucked into the deep, dark, farthest reaches of the sock drawer where few dare to tread
Liberated and in the sun
(I know that Peanuts have attained cultic status among some on The Porch, but I'd take the pen over the peanut every time.)
Couple of classy Eurekas, Jimmy and Pat!
Thought I'd share a pic of my good buddy, Oliver. He's a lot like Ed's "Abby the hoarder", except he brings those items he steals to me in exchange for beggin' strips to get him to release them.
Pat, Oliver looks quite relaxed; I hope he has no interest in chewing white bone!
Terrific trio of an iconic pattern!

How are the pulls on your Premium Scout? I’ve been looking at that model but I need light to medium pulls. Thanks.

Was yours unsafe at any speed, Steve?Do my i's deceive, or is that a beautiful bright red 2 door 1963 Corvair?
2 carb, 4 carb, or single carb turbo engine?
4 speed or power glide automatic?
I had a '"champaign" color '63 4 door sedan, with 2 carb engine and power slide automatic. (dash mounted shifter)
Great cars. Ever so much better than what replaced them ... the Vega ... the car that rusted out sitting on the dealer's air conditioned floor, and needed the engine rebuilt/replaced after 25,000 to 30,000 miles.
When I was shopping for my very first car in the summer of 1969, I test drove a Corvair, but decided I didn't want to get something weird (rear engine) for my first car.
Sweet clip/lamb sowbelly, Bob!
Pretty exciting, Jeff!...
Big day for us. We've reserved a puppy out of a litter that was whelped seven weeks ago today. We have the third pick out of five boys. Although take home day is not til eight weeks old ~ next Thursday, all prospective owners will be meeting at the breeder's this morning to observe the temperament testing, after which we will make our choices in turn.
After spending time with the sire and dam of this litter, and looking at generations of their ancestry, I really think any of them will make a fine family member.
Except for this one little guy. He growled at my wife when she rolled him onto his back.
We have been visiting the litter every week.
Here are the five boys last week at six weeks old ~
One of these guys is coming home with us next Thursday.
(Based on one photo, I'd be leaning toward the laid-back guy in the back who doesn't just follow the pack.)
Bone and blade bonanza, Steve!
That's a handsome pair, David; I especially like the stag on the lamb!
Sounds like a bargain, Mike!
I think I've paid that much for the Chinese-made Buck 373.
Seductive swayback, Dave!
Double dynamite, Barrett!
That coffin shield really caught my eye; how do you think that would look on a coffin pattern knife?
Congrats on your new puppy!My 50th is next month, but I've decided not to go. Our daughter would not enjoy it, we'll have a three month old GSD puppy at home, and I don't feel like spending 2 or 3 hundred$ to have to listen to the same group of drunks over by the bar. And two of my buds are no longer with us.
But sure hope your smarter half has a fine time!
...
The owner/breeder had watched during our visits, and pointed out the one she thought would be the calmest and maybe the best choice considering our daughter. In the end, we thought hard over our two favorites, and ended up choosing the one she'd suggested. This is the guy who'd climbed into Andie's lap and fallen asleep.
Mr. Watson, hand me your revolver.
Is Manny still around, and if so, did he have any input on the choice?
I went to my 50th high school reunion back in 2019, but I doubt if I'd have gone if I'd had to travel far. I only had to drive 60 miles to get there, and left the festivities semi-early because I'd recently had cataract surgery and didn't want to drive in the dark. It was kind of weirdly wonderful to see some people I'd hung out with every day at school and then not seen for 50 years. Also weird that 4 or 5 people came up to me and said something along the lines of "You're a lot taller than I remember!" I think that's probably a first impression thing - I was less than 5 feet tall when I started 9th grade, but I grew 12 inches by the middle of junior year IIRC.
Special pair of knives!
Greg, I'm green with envy!
