It's an old picture. Might as well use it and spare myself the drudgery of taking another one. What I'm really carrying on this non-work, non-hospital day is probably
I don't know if it's me or the camera that can't focus this morning.

A mostly cloudy start to the day here in the City by the Bay
. Not much on the agenda for today other than to mourn the loss of a tooth that broke off after biting into a black cherry 
too hard and catching too much of the pit. Not in any pain and since it’s one of my lower front teeth I’m hoping my dentist can fix it
. In the meantime keeping me company with a nod to Wooden Wednesday a fancy lamb and a hound. Have a great day folks!

Case Knife of the Week is a walnut Rogers jigged bone 6347 with stainless blades and quad-lined bolsters; handsome knife and probably my favorite model of Case stockman (except for sowbelly stockman). Tang stamp indicates it was made in 2015, the box suggests 2016, and I bought it NIB from an Oklahoma online dealer as a 70th birthday gift to myself in December 2021.
Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week is a big oriental sawcut bone stockman, the Schrade 858OTB Lumberjack. First photo shows the knife on a wall overlooking the Mississippi River from a convention center in St. Cloud, MN.

Adding to pocket: Bench Made 318 Proper, with S30V blade steel, and a DIY leather fob.
(no flipper/opener tab, liner/frame lock, pocket clip, or other disqualifier for inclusion in the 'Traditional' Forum.)
To me the handle is reminicent of the Canoe pattern.
With the (offshore) Old Timer 858OTB

I once used crazy glue as a temporary fix.
Very nice choices today.
That is a nice green toned clip point Kurt.

Thanks Bob but since the broken tooth is one of the two lower front teeth I’m not sure if super glue would work but for all I know that’s what my dentist will useSorry to hear Dan.I hope the dentist can find an easy fix for it.

. At least it doesn’t hurt and hope it will stay that wayuntil I can see my dentist next week.

The package appeared on his porch without announcement. No receipt, no note, though he suspected the brown truck he'd seen earlier as it rumbled down the street, had something to do with it. Contents revealed a small Mercator carbon steel non-locking folding knife with a copper handle and bail, made in Solingen, Germany. It slipped easily into his pocket. Once inside his home, he set it on the table and left the knife there for the remainder of the day.
By morning, it was no longer where he had placed it. Not lost, not hidden. Relocated, sitting parallel to the edge of the table, aligned with a precision he did not remember applying. He picked it up, opened it, and tested the edge against a scrap of paper. It sliced cleanly. Later, he used it to break down a box, then to slice an apple. Each time, he closed it and set it down differently, making a point not to think about it. Each time he returned, it had shifted again, never far, always deliberate.
He tested this more than once, changing the knife's position, then leaving the room. When he returned, it had moved, but the orientation was always the same. The pattern held without exception. He wrote it down once as a reminder, then stopped writing.
The next odd thing happened while making coffee. He set the knife on the counter, turned to retrieve boiling water, and came back to find it slightly closer to the mug than he remembered. Not much closer, just enough to suggest initiative. He ignored it. Later, he found it resting against a stack of unopened mail, as if volunteering for duty. When he left it on the table overnight, it appeared the next morning beside a loose thread on the shirt he had selected to wear. He clipped the thread, set the knife down, paused, and said out loud, “All right.” The knife did not respond, but it stayed where it was, which felt like agreement.
On the third day, he stopped moving it altogether. He left it in the center of the table and went about his routine. When he returned that evening, it remained where it was, unchanged, as if it had settled on its own terms.
He stopped pretending the knife was ordinary. It nudged itself toward boxes that needed opening, hovered near packaging that resisted tearing, and once positioned itself next to a tomato with quiet confidence. He began leaving small tasks undone just to see what it would do. One evening, he placed it in the middle of the table and said, “Anything else?” The knife remained still for a moment, then shifted slowly and pointedly toward him. He glanced down at the left leg of his jeans, already coming apart at the seams. He looked back at the knife and said, “Let’s not get carried away.”

I certainly haven't seen everything but I don't recall seeing that pattern. Cool!
