Back in the office today from working at home since Thanksgiving. Always nice to be around the people you’re working with honestly for me.

This Jack Wold Equal End has been my companion through Thanksgiving, and I’ve really been loving it. Exceptionally well done for the price! Have to give credit to the Pioneer as well as my constant carry no matter what else changes.

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider medium trapper whose smooth bone was originally orange, I think, but dyed by its original owner (thanks, Greg):

Another beautiful and chilly day here in the City by the Bay! Forty three degrees is pushing the lower limit this close to the coast. So I’m going to stay home where it’s nice and warm. Keeping me company with a nod to Black Friday a couple of ebony beauties. Have a great day folks!😀

Finally getting some much needed rain, but combined with the low-40’s temperature, it makes for a pretty lazy day. I did get my Christmas cards done, which is ahead of schedule for me! 😉 Same knives as yesterday and likely for the remainder of the weekend!

I had those tests years ago. The results are interesting. Just knowing will help you avoid things you're allergic to.
Besides the usual suspects like poison ivy and ragweed, I found out I am moderately allergic to maple. Not just it's pollen, but maple sawdust.
One of the guitars I'm building has a maple top, and I did some finish sanding before finishing it. Without a dust mask. Not smart.
Yeah mask be a good idea.
Years ago I was teaching the youngest to mow the lawn. She had allergy tests about a week after first solo effort. 1 major allergy........grass 🙄
 
Played pool today with my friend Gene. We're pretty evenly matched although he usually wins a couple more than me. Not today. I won every game except one

Then I came home and used my Officially Unofficial 2025 Porch knife to open a box that contained...wait for it...a knife! :D
Yes, I got sucked in by the evil Black Friday/Cyber Monday marketeers😆💸
Rosecraft does come up with some really pretty wood handles
