When one acquires enough () knives, rediscovering old friends is as good, or better than, buying new ones. I've recently "rediscovered" my Case Texas Jack and the wonderful Buck 302. A couple of minutes with a strop and it shaves hair slick as all get out. Pair it with a Vic Rambler and you've got a great combination of tools in an almost unnoticeable package

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is this Mohawk stag canoe made in Germany for A. G. Russell:

Work Knife of the Week is a Boker Magnum scout knife (thanks, Greg). We've had huge amounts of rain around here in March and April, with a lot of rivers flooding last week, so I walked over to a nearby college campus that has a couple of creeks and numerous bridges to see if there was high water there. There was more water flowing through the creeks than I've ever seen there! Here's a photo of the scout knife on a bridge railing post overlooking a swollen pond:

That photo had the knife in focus and the pond unfocussed; here's an "equal time" photo with unfocussed knife and pond in focus. (Enjoy it, since I'll probably never post it again.)

The bridge on which I stood to take those 2 shots crosses the outlet of the pond into a creek; the water trying to get out of the pond was roaring as it squeezed under the bridge into the creek behind me. I basically turned 180 degrees to get this shot of the water "boiling" out of the bridge culvert into the creek. This still photo doesn't do justice to the violent motion of the escaping water.

Loaded for Bear

And the yard waste bin is loaded again.
I didn't use the folders at all, and the machetes aren't as well suited as the billhooks to the whippy twigs of that snaky tree.
I used the big billhook a bit on the bigger stuff, but mostly the thin, fast, little one. And since the long and curvy edge of the big billhook is a bit awkward on the ground, I was reminded of my Collins cruiser axe for cutting the longer stuff into bin-sized pieces.
Speaking of fast.

The rest of the tree is mostly for the chainsaw.
