Very nice work Barrett. Really digging that arrow


Just fiddling around the house today. Helping my wife put out some seasonal flowers and re-pot some plants. Moving things from one spot to another, and then occasionally back to where they started. :) Its cloudy but otherwise a beautiful day here. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.


Aweome looking Fish Barlow ! :thumbup:

Thanks GT, and no it is not my presidential. It is a sheepsfoot 15 that mrknife generously sent me.

I'm carrying the 15 again. This knife tics so many boxes for me. I don't see myself leaving it at home anytime soon.

Great knife Eirk. I had a sheepsfoot in ebony as well...
HAD until I made the mistake of selling it. :(
Always looking for my next single bladed sheepsfoot 15 :D


Talon was in my pocket all weekend



What a nice weekend it was!!!

 
Very interesting and unique!

Love everything about this bowie. Wish I had a milling machine. One day.


Thanks guys, I have a variety of styles and flairs I like in fixed blades and this time the heavily geometric feel with a big ol hunk of sambar crown stag was in order. Milling a blade I learned is still a difficult venture and takes a lot of planning, measure twice, cut once.

Heres the sheath just after I finished it, will slowly go a dark brown as I wear it and treat with a beeswax mix.

Week's catch-up. Turning 40 Monday. If I don't get a reprieve from these hours I may not see 41. :o

Monday, Tuesday AND Thursday -- this trio may see a lot of carry in the future:



Wooden Wednesday:



Old Friends Friday -- the Texas Jack on its first carry after obtaining and cleaning it up some, the Klass gunboat also on its maiden voyage:



Stag Saturday -- another Klass and a Queen peanut:



Synthetic Sunday -- thankfully the TL-29 was along to save the day on a couple occasions:



Back to it tomorrow. :eek: :grumpy:
 
Do you have any “guiding principles” as you pick your pairs each day?

Sorry I have been away a couple of days GT. Not really, I like to have a scout pattern or SAK for the tools and a small fixed blade or single blade folder in general. Daily I try to just carry something different than the previous day. I really just grab whatever feels right for the day, some days are more ALOX-y, some more scout-like :). I put more thought into the sheath, whether it is supposed to be a dry day or not. Today is not ;), so a treated sheath and stainless steel.

 
Great pictures again everyone.

Thanks for the comments ALLHSS and Gary.

Very, very nice pairs Peregrin and Paul.

Today it's a 2011 Forum Knife and a Vic Cadet.

Nice knives and pics today guys.
Gevo, The Avocado and eggs look pretty good, especially when presented with that fine old knife.
I think I like my eggs cooked a little more though ....:)

Carrying these today and hoping the rain stops so I can do a little fair weather trout fishing.
