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

It looks like a Vendetta to me.
I got it from a knife guy east of here. He's retired, but he loves knives, so he has a shop that sells just knives. I think he's happy if he breaks even. He's such a nice guy that I feel I have to buy something after pawing his wares and wasting his time chatting.
I couldn't resist this one anyway, but next time I'll buy something out of the bargain bin.
What reminds me of your lambsfoot is the liners and bolsters, very thick and shiny; and the finish on the blades, which are very similar.

It's a nice pattern my friend, and that sounds like a great place to frequent :) :thumbup:

Great little knife Alan . I like those 83's a lot .
I am anxious to see those Yellow Rose 74's too . I had a Yellow Rose reserved but dropped it hopes of a different one . We shall see what happens .

Thanks Harry. This was one of the first two GEC's I bought. Thought I'd give it to my son in Texas and then decided I liked it too much. lol! Hoping the 74's are just a larger version, we'll see.

Me too, Shawn.
 
Carrying the new Ranch Hand today. Bought off the exchange, it came to me in perfect shape, but I had a slight accident with it the first day out of the tube. I gave it a good going over, checking the action, the edge, the F&F, then set it down on the counter by my keys, etc. The next morning when I went to pick it up, it was underneath some mail and a receipt. Both blades had black and brown rust on them, both small specks and larger blotches, and the clip main had a blueish patina over about 2/3 of the blade. :confused: :(

The only thing I can think of that would have caused it was the receipt, maybe something acidic in the ink or paper, or both. Anyway, I spent about a half hour polishing out the rust, and lost the majority of the "Tidioute" etching on the clip. It will be a user, and besides, it still looks good. Of course, I'm thinking of modifying the blades anyway, and forcing a patina! ;)

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

Alan, the Yellow Rose 83 is fantastic. As others have noted, looking forward to seeing it paired up with the 74.

Jeff, not that my opinion matters, but I think it looks better without the etch. :D

Today's carry - a bit of blue denim (thank again Jeff!)
