What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[meako]

Theres a huge Seville Orange tree in the bush behind our place- It is years old and had been neglected for a long time. A couple of years ago I gave it a good pruning and fixed up the deer barrier around it.
Now it is laden with fruit. Everything within reach of the deers is nibbled away but up high absolutely booming. I took the ladder and secateurs and harvested bucket loads. My parents make marmalade -pretty much all these oranges are good for because they are even more sour than my Grapefruits. I thought I'd have a go at making some and flogging it out the front on the weekend to passers by.
What I can't work out is how or why the Sulphur crested Cocakatoos have ignored or missed this tree. They demolished my Grapefruits-just as they ripen and are rteady to eat I find them on the ground torn open and ruined. The Cockys bite them open ,remove the seeds and very gracefully and deftly remove the seed casing and eat the seeds leaving the entire fruit a torn up mess on the ground.
I wonder is the Seville Orange just too sour. My mum was giving me tips on marmalade making-she actually asked if I had a sharp knife to cut the peel. Ho Ho Ho. mums. heres to 'em.

Gorgeous knife and lucky you about the grass. Mine grows 3 feet if you look at it funny...and it's that crappy switchgrass!

Yikes, Rachel. Think cool thoughts.

Intriguing knives today. What's the stockman on the bottom? I don't recognize it.

Wonderful Ulster, Ernie.

Today I'm carrying my most trusted pocket cutlery companion.

It's a made-in-China "Kissing Cranes". Not bad stag for the price, and only 2½", it's a cute little splinter-picker.

This one is unusual in my experience.

Sorry about the light; at the time it seemed pretty good.
