Thanks, the bead is just a piece of stainless 1/8" pipe I cut a couple grooves in ;)

I've actually been pretty pleased with it, a couple tiny finish issues but nothing glaring. The stop pin is a nice touch, and zero play when open. I gave it a pretty toothy edge and it is amazing for breaking down boxes.

Sounds like a winner. :thumbup:
 
Ron That bone is burnished looking, anointed you might almost say:D Another fine Oldster on view, thank you for showing this beautiful Texan :)

Regards, Will

I could try Gev! But I think the GermanEye would survive the journey better :eek: It's wonderful sour dough bread from an artisan bakery, their Fransk Råg (French Rye) is also exceptional, but it costs 5€ a loaf, not cheap but it keeps well for days and makes sumptuous toast :cat: Got to sharpen up that German Eye Tadpole, but I don't think he's up to the job of loaf slicing somehow :D I bet somebody in the Cult of the Peanut will claim they slice bread and roast meats on a regular basis though!;)

Thanks, Will

LOL! Thanks for the laugh. My bread knife has a 9" blade and it's sometimes a little small for some of these artisan loaves:eek: I love baking bread - might just give it a go this week.:D I have been spoiled by the bakery down the street ;) I miss the fun ....but time consuming.

Goodness that is a stunner!!
 
A pair from Jerry Halfrich this morning, brutally cold out, -35F.

Hidalgo front lock in Mike Norris stainless damascus along with a Jack Russell in M4 tool steel at 62RC, Paul Long sheath. Both are handled in old growth Redwood burl.

Wonderful Whittler, Gev, and the bread looks amazing!


 
Looks like it's going to be a lazy day today. Just a boy and his dog hanging out, getting some reading done :)

Wishing you all a safe, healthy, peaceful, and joyful New Year! :thumbup:


Old but VERY good, Paul! :thumbup: 2-bladed spear main EO teardrop jacks of ANY vintage apparently rev my motor!


Really admire your walnut Rogers jigged bone Case set, Harry! :thumbup: What do you think of the size of the baby butterbean? I like canoe patterns, but I wonder if some of those little ones are too small to be useful for me.


Nice coincidence, Bob. ;) I'm not a fan of plain tomato soup myself, although in my bachelor days I'd fix mac&cheese and stir in a can of tomato soup, some chopped up hot dogs, and frozen peas and have an entire food pyramid in a pot! Grilled cheese, especially with onions, always sounds good!


Alan, thanks for the photography hints and the Douk-Douk testimonial. :cool:


Rachel, you have a kinder mind than I do; I was imagining the Douk-Douk slaying the sheep-sheep for some meat to add to my couscous. :p
I can imagine that, to someone with your talents, the covers of my RR marlin spike look like a blank canvas. I might think that way if I had access to a scrimshaw stencil set, or maybe scrimshaw-by-number. :rolleyes:


Astounding knives as always, Pete! :cool:


Thanks for the knife IDs, Will. Interesting tradition you have regarding spirits for New Year's Eve/Day. :thumbup:


Dean, I haven't really put the douk-douk through its paces yet, so the jury is still out. The folded steel handle is similar to the ones on my hignokami and my Mercator Black Cat; in terms of handling comfort, the Black Cat is best of the three (no sense of sharp edges on the handle), followed by the dock-douk (OK), and higonokami (I actually made a small leather grip/cover to pad the sharp edges of the handle as well as to hold it closed in pocket) in that order. When closed, the tang of the Douk-Douk is quite prominent, as is true for many knives, and I don't find that feature to be endearing. With the bail, the knife can hang suspended in my pocket and I don't even notice I'm carrying it. Even without suspending it, the knife is slim and light, so I think it would carry quite nicely.


Thanks, Dee; given your inherent wisdom, I knew you'd catch my little pun there! :p
About the chili: my wife and I spent Christmas Eve with a nephew, his wife, their 2 little kids, and the wife's parents. They had all been ill earlier in the week. This week, between Christmas and New Year's Day, my wife and I seem to have developed whatever the young family had earlier. So no 5-gallon bucket of chili yet! :(


Closing out the year with one of Mark's finest! Very nice, Drew! :thumbup:


That stag 26 is absolutely, positively praiseworthy! :thumbup::thumbup: How strong is the pull on that little guy?


Starting off the year with that notable knife makes me think this will be a splendid year for you, Jake! :cool:

Here are the knives I bought for my wife to give me for Christmas. Perhaps it's not surprising that it turned out to be a Christmas canoe convocation! :o
Marbles stag bone canoe with "damascus etched" blades:

Straight from the pages of the "Ugliest Traditional" thread, with some good advice for the New Year etched on the pen blade, comes this Rough Rider Zombie Nick canoe:

A Marbles ram's horn canoe; I love the crater in the pile side cover:

A Buck 389 canoe with the relatively-new (and somewhat disappointing dye-wise) honey bone covers:

And a red bone Robert Klaas small canoe:

Thanks! Let's just say I've lost a few nails due to its strong pull...small sacrifice
