I thought I'd posted this earlier today. I been running around like a chicken with my head cut off for the last few weeks. I think it's affected my brain.

Missed this post yesterday, Harry; looks like you were more than adequately equipped, knife-wise, for the weekend!
Thanks, Greg; I wish most of my Old Timers weren't from China, but they're still pretty decent knives.Yup! It's the Middleman.
That's a nice selection of Old Timers you're toting.![]()
Splendid Peanut with a memorable shield! Congrats on both of your Peanuts!
Exquisite, ISKski! Congrats! :thumbup:
Thanks for the Hay'n Helper review.5k Q's-
I love the 2 blade hayin helper for outside-bib overall dirty work. It has a good sized pen that can serve for any needed "belly" blade and I find most outside jobs need the strong sturdy safe sheepfoot, so it's gr8.
Yes, Detroit Red beets. I seem to be able to grow them as easy as weeds here in MD. And I love them fresh, roasted or pickled.
TB, I had the great good fortune of winning my 93OT in a GAW from Fausto; so, yes, my "American classic" came to me by way of Sardinia!...
The 93OT is a hard one to find. I have yet to encounter someone who would part with one. I find myself trying to collect the more esoteric OT patterns in hopes that one day someone will trade me one.

Today was not quite the relaxing Sunday I'd been hoping for. After getting some chores finished up, I barely got outside long enough to enjoy the sun before it set. This is the trio I've had with me all day:

Thanks for the Old Timer compliment and for the MAM pic, Jack.

That Halfrich fixed blade is still incredible.
Thanks for the Old Timer compliment and for the MAM pic, Jack.I like food, wherever I go; maybe I should get one of those hobo-style knives to carry at all times so I'm ready if the opportunity to eat arises!
You have a useful pair of knives today! :thumbup: (I spend a little time looking at the buffalo covers of your new lambsfoot whenever you post it, and I've decided that it also reminds me of a knife that I think Will Power has with the "feathering" in the buffalo horn actually looking like feathers in a bird's wing.
)

Good looking Opinel!
I carried my Bull Nose to the range this morning. (I went at like 6:30am because it's supposed to be 118° today!)

I think I learned that word while reading Harry Potter books with my daughter years ago, Dean.I'm gradually developing an extensive alphabetical list of words I can use when commenting on knives here; always pays to increase your word power, you know.
Sometimes, to amuse myself, I'll "work through the alphabet" while commenting on knives that strike me in the "totin' today" thread. You happened to come up between "O" and "Q", and I hadn't used "posh" in quite some time, as far as I could remember. So that's the story behind my noting that you had a posh Calf Roper Slim!
