Thanks, Eric! I will be thinking of you mid July. Remember ~ pain delays healing, and keeps you from resting comfortably, so there's no shame in taking the Norcol and Tramadol.

Thank you, my friend. Dogs pick up on things. Duncan often looks at me with a worried expression🥰

Thanks, Rick!

Thanks, Lance! I look forward to graduating from just bearing my body weight to actually lifting some real weights. I've got a rack and full set of plates that Mrs. Fleschwund would love to get rid of, but I told her I'd be needing them soon.

Wise to do that. Probably helps your golf game too!

I was surprised at how big of a club it is, Harry. When I spoke to my surgeon right before they put me under, he said I was his 14th knee replacement that week, and that was only Thursday.

Happy about that 'ol ticker, Sailor!

If you have a choice, I'd say sooner is better than later, Robert.
I put mine off knowing we were getting a puppy, but really should have done it last year. But last winter, when he was only three or four months old, he pulled me off my feet (standing on ice), and I broke three ribs. So now at nine months, I'm going to have to let Vik handle all the walking and training for awhile.

Tyson, It is satisfying to carry/use the same knives for longer stretches of time rather than picking something different every day.

Another Yann knife with great burl!
French walnut?

There is a couple who bought one of Duncan's littermates, and we got to know them during the weekly group training sessions.
He is a farrier by trade, and quite buried with work, because there are a lot of horses around here. If I can remember, I'll have to show this to him next time I see him.
Where did you find it?

Thanks. It's “ironwood.”
I love the feel of this knife in my hand and the way it looks.
 
Guess I will switch to these:
Benchmade 318 Proper (S30V blade) Slipjoint; no clips or other features that will disqualify from "Traditional's".
(Offshore) Marbles D2 Sowbelly Stockman. (Did onshore Marbles (Gladstone, MI.) ever use D2 blades?)

Please have a great week.
 
A wee Scandi I chanced upon at a flea market. The sheath has a button hole instead of a belt loop, traditional work trousers in my country have a couple of buttons sown on the waistline (for girth adjustment), perfect fit. Sodbuster Jr. for scale.

I've been carrying and using this Russell Green River Works Barlow the past two days while working on a Euro mount deer head of a buck I took during the past fall archery season. Had it buried for awhile and the bugs took care of some of the flesh removal. Then enlisted the pressure washer and the knife to get the last bits.
Degreased the skull a bit ago in some dish soap and warm water and its drying now. Next and final step is a peroxide wash on the skull to whiten.
