End of the week beer and carry, Ploppert cattle knife, CPM 154 and stag. I carry the dollar everyday and I was just noticing how nicely it is aging. Have a nice Saturday evening everyone.

Definitely one of theses 2 new arrival #99's, the tubes showed up just today! I am not usually a lanyard user, but think I am going to outfit these two with leashes :).

 
I'm just recently getting the hang of freehand sharpening. This old fellow is today's volunteer. The edge came out so nice, it deserves to be carried a bit.

 
Wheeler, hows the pull on that 78? Im in my second week of trying to soften mine from Christmas. Still love the knife but its a little tough on the thumb as of now.

This is my first attempt at posting pictures. Please bare with me....

Toting my 66.......which was also a Christmas present.

It's not too bad. It was a little stiff when I first got it but it's easing up. It's not near as tough as the Forest Jack I just sold.

True, rainy days aren't all bad, but now I'm torn between finding my copy of LOR, or starting on this basswood block.



Hope you all have a great weekend.

Beautiful whittler Brett. Hope you got some quality time with it today.

ALLHSS, it is a copy I received nearly a decade ago from my folks who have always encouraged my manic literature habit.
 
Onejim - Not a bad pic at all. :thumbup: The 78 I had was to strong for me. Ended up selling it. How's the pull on that calf roper. I may have lost my 81 unfortunately (I loved that knife. It's trapped in Dallas, TX.)

Thanks Sjostygg - I was able to put a new edge on it and get a good feel for it. I see it being a favorite quickly.
 
Oh no Brett! Wasn't the 81 slated to be your "grandpa knife"... Really sorry to hear you lost it; looking at yours made me feel a little better about not having one. I hope it is just between a couch cushion...
