Happy Birthday Charlie! Although I don't yet have one of your signature knives, I have a great appreciation for the ones I've seen here on the porch, and I learn so much from your erudite contributions to the discussions here. All the best!

Okay, after this bakes, I'm getting out of the kitchen to take a hike.

 

[5K Qs]

Been out of the loop for a few days - work has me swamped! The copperhead 22 is always in my pocket and today I decided to bring along its fancy friend.

I can relate to the swampiness, CB970! Is the fancy 22 new? Quite a looker!

...
After a break while I've been traveling, the Conductor Whittler is seeing pocket time again today.

Captivating crimson Conductor, Greg!

GT, I might have to send my new Opinel No. 6 to you for some special treatment. Love that "cigar" mod and the reshaped blade.

No filter on my photos, but they have been "enhanced" a bit.

Opinel No. 6 (Thanks, Brett!) and #14 Ebony (Thanks, Andrew!) for Wooden Wednesday.

Thanks, Shawn; I'm thrilled with the way my Opinel turned out, but I don't have much confidence that I could do it again! The "darker than usual" handle on your #6 looks great; is that a special finish on the standard beechwood, or is the handle one of the "fancier wood" models?

Just this so far. That'll probably change as the day goes on. After all, it is Wooden Wednesday.

Awesome Alox, Bob!

...
For Wooden Wednesday, I have a GEC #66 in Rosewood and a Case 63032 in Chestnut bone. Brown hues today.

Appealing earth tones on that pair, Dean!

...
Thanks GT, nice to see more of this week's pocket fluff :thumbup:
...

Thanks, Jack.

...
I have been carrying the A Wright Lamb Foot for the last few days. It is just starting to get the slightest patina.

Again.

You're posting some very nice pics of that lambsfoot, FBC! I admire the lack of reflections in your blades and bolsters!

Lots of nice knives today. Since it is Wednesday I was Totin this Ebony TC.

Hope everyone had a good day.

That's a brace of beautiful Barlows, Ron!

Started out working in the garden and removing Iris growth with the old Wards Pruner ....
Then the mail came with the new 72 in Stag . I chose one that is a little darker than any that I have ever had . Something different , but still some very decent texture ....
Very happy with the way the old Wards performed and also the Quality and F & F of my first 72 .

These 2 today : New 72 and one of my 73's...
Harry

Congrats on the new stag 72, Harry! As usual, your stag knives look stupendous to me! That old pruner is no eyesore, either!

Trying a new pattern today.

That's a grand 26, Travman!

...

Super pic, JSCHENK! Leon Redbone would like that pair a lot!

Old Winchester...

Another brilliant Barlow, Atiger! Have you ever done one of those "wheel of Barlows" photos that show up occasionally??

Beautiful barlow, Atiger!

I loaded up this morning with a barlow, trapper, peanut, SAK, and a modern.

Colorful trio of bonny bone-covered knives, Shawn! Reminds me that the leaves will be turning colors before long.

...
Today I carried these two.

Have a good one all!

Ken K.

Red Alox old cross is always a fantastic way to "announce your return", Ken!

...
On a trail I've been wanting to hike for a couple years now, I carried these two knives - a Case Sheepfoot and GEC Farmer's Jack. Last picture is an example of Ohio's forest beauty.

Couple of handsome hiking knives, Dean! And I admire all the trails you traverse!

Wow! A time machine!

Took the kids fishing on Lake Geneva today.

Looks like a good time, and gorgeous weather/scenery, was enjoyed by all, Cory!

...
If I'm not mistaken, it's Charlie Campagna's birthday today! Many Happy Returns Charlie! :thumbup:

I'll echo Jack's birthday wishes for Charlie!
Jack, that's a splendid pair of celebratory knives!

I've been carrying some small knives this week in addition to the knives I posted earlier this week.
Landers, Frary, and Clark pen knife (thanks, Mark):

The ever-present scrimshawed Rough Rider (thanks, r8shell):

A Remington peanut:

Didn't really plan this, but I've had a pair of matching Remingtons with me all week:

- GT

 

[BigBiscuit]

Thanks Gary. The burled wood covers on that canoe and peanut are superb. :thumbup:

 

[pmew]

It's a match day for the Ulstermen so i started with my lucky Ulster 25, but then I learned of someone's birthday so I'll embarrass him further by adding a signature Orchard Gem. Many happy returns mr C!

 

[Gevonovich]

Thank you Gary! The LF & C is my favorite this week

 

[Cory Hess]

Thanks for the kind words, GT. This is a really great picture. The wood just glows, and the colors of the knife, shell, and pier have a very calming effect together. It makes me think of summer afternoons by the lake. Good job on this one!

 

[ScottK]

Carrying an OD Micarta 72 today.

Appealing earth tones on that pair, Dean!

Thanks, Gary! Pretty full blades on that L, F & C; looks unused. :thumbup:

 

[glennbad]

This old Remy whittler today

 

[Atiger]

This unusual Camillus Tip Top Barlow...ebony scales and red enamel paint on the bolster lettering. Saw a picture of one a long time back but this is the only one I've ever seen. Don't know it's story.

- GT

Thanks GT! I've had it for a couple of months but the little copperhead bone one generally commands my pocket time. Very nice wood on those Remingtons btw!

I grabbed the oily creek bone 14 today to spice things up.

This old Remy whittler today

From its stoop it rises skyward like a shining scimitar. Circling as if on thick heavy air it gazes downward and with a instant folding quarry tremors at the edge of vision. Falling through clouds of awakened primitive states he dives. Lives quickening and warming to a pulse that hearts may never reach. The intent sharpens, a kaleidoscope of colors materializing against the fovea of his brilliant eye. Non-attachment to wakes and tilting, of spiraling planes of land and water. Patterns we did not know exist but only to the peregrine who remembers the neat squares of woodland and varying quadrilateral shapes of fields. He drops into his prey like a streak of lightning with the vicarious joy of the guiltless hunter.

I found myself crouching over the kill, like a mantling hawk. My eyes turned quickly about, alert for the walking heads of men. Unconsciously I was imitating the movements of a hawk, as in some primitive ritual; the hunter becoming the thing he hunts. In a lair of shadow the peregrine was crouching, watching me, gripping the neck of a dead branch. We live, in these days in the open, in search of an ecstatic life.

Nice narrative, very fitting, thanks!

I can't get Imgur to work for me today so I'll post an old pic of what I carried. The CC Harness Jack.

Have a good one!
