That Conductor whittler is something else!! Have you reworked the blades a bit?
...
Nice Opinel mod, Greg! :thumbup: Thanks to your inspiration, encouragement, and instruction, I finally finished mine recently:

Thanks, GT! I've sharpened the Conductor's coping and pen blades, but haven't done anything else yet. I still need to put a proper edge on the main. I'm also tempted to change the pen's curve a bit, but I think I'll leave it as-is for the time being. There's whittling to be done!

You're Opinel mod turned out great! Thanks for sharing the photo. I'd been wondering about how it turned out. I'd say exposing the tip of the blade was a blessing in disguise since it let you to giving the blade mod a try. :) :thumbup:

Joseph Rodgers Whittler

What a splendid whittler, Ernie! :thumbup:

A few from yesterday in the Yosemite valley.



Today's views are still TBD-

Breathtaking pictures of scenery and knives alike, StoneBeard. Yosemite is one of my absolute favorite places on earth. Are you going to get a chance to hike at Hetch Hetchy as well while you're there?

I just finished restoring this Morley and Sons Whittler and it is at work with me today!

And another wonderful whittler. You've got quite a collection! :thumbup: What type is the closed blade?

As for me, the past couple of days I've been carrying a favorite, the first knife I really bonded with:

Stunning Ken. Great picture!



Oh my goodness, an open house 08? Is that a tan and white acrylic?


- Paul

Good eye Paul! It is indeed a tan and white acrylic from the 08 Open House. My son and I hit the knife show in Pleasantville last Friday while in Titusville for the Rendezvous. He snagged it from a guy there and promptly traded it to me for my bloodwood 85 (which he has coveted since I got it). ;) The 25 is unused and is absolutely gorgeous! The same guy had a mint 26 in LVS Abalone from the 2009 Rendezvous and it came home with me. I'll probably put a pic up of it tomorrow.
 
Met up with Jack Black & ADEE today. I found nowt at the weekly flea market, but was generously gifted a unique Elinox advertising knife, a sleeveboard might I add, and a lovely old Taylor's table knife, from ADEE for my up and coming birthday. JB also kindly brought me a Cold Steel Kudu, which he refused to take back with him. ;)

 
Coppery goodness Today:

That is some beautiful copper jigging bud, really nice contrast with the damascus blade.

Stunning stag, Tim; you are definitely "barking with the big dogs" these days!!! :thumbup:

- GT
