Alox knife of the week is a Pruner (thanks, Ken):

- GT

With a knife like that I'd sing a tune as I prune.

Carrying an old Robeson barlow today...

Words cannot express how gorgeous that is Atiger!


I'm carrying the latest addition to my Alox family - a 2017 Limited Edition Cadet. Since it is olive green, I've christened it "Olive Oil."

 

[AShearer]

I'm enjoying my newest knife today. It's very easy to carry and use. < I think I said that already

 

[AShearer]

I am also enjoying this, newest knife today? Same knife, pile side.

Daniel: You're making want to buy Alox SAK's. I have to stop visiting this forum

Two very generous gifts arrived in the mail this week, and went right into my pockets.

Yesterday, Dopic1 sent me this sweet little #09 Esquire in sparkly blue pinstriped acrylic.


And in today's mail I found this Buffalo horn Ettrick from @WhittlinAway

Thanks, guys! You're the best!

I pulled out the ram's horn Marbles sowbelly this evening.

Your sowbelly is "ram-tough", Jeff!

I'm off to visit ADEE tomorrow, haven't seen him for a while. Going to be carrying my Anchor Knife (a gift from ADEE), and the Speaker Jack Alan Shearer kindly sent me a while back


...

That's a pair of champion companions, Jack! The ebony congress is so distinguished, and I'm wowed by the grain of your anchor knife each time I see another photo!

Thank you very much Anthony . Now in Reutte , Austria for a few days . Had lunch today at Der Andechser Heiltumsschatz . A monastery that does make some very nice liquid refreshment . Still have my old Ulster in my RFP .

"Round, round, get around," You get around, Harry! I hope you, your wife, and your Ulster are having a memorable trip!

...
These are what I carried in the last three days.
...
Ken K.

Sensational six-pack, Ken! My imagination is running wild. If you carried one from Photo A and one from Photo B each day, there are 9 possible pairs from which to choose! I wonder which three pairs you actually carried.

...
Thank you for your kind comments, Gary. The Calf Roper Slim is single spring. Your new Marbles Workman is superb!
...

Thanks for the info and the Marbles compliment, Dean.

Yes, I do most of the cooking. Micarta Monday edition.

Looks like that knife helps with more than just haying. What do you call that plant that you cut up? We have those growing voluntarily in our garden since we moved in over 30 years ago, and I just call them "alley onions". But are they officially some kind of leek or shallot?

Great knives from an AWESOME friend.

Congrats, Dee; those knives are knock-outs!

"Singath me hwaethwugu!"
This Ulster swayback sheepsfoot just does sing to me. The look, the feel...
The AW Wadsworth isn't exactly the chicken livers either.

That's a prized pair there, Jer!

Wonderful knives today. I decided that today was going to be a Micarta Monday, at least for me anyway!

Those congress jacks always look a little exotic and nearly irresistible to me, Ron!

Magnificent knife, lambertiana!!

MAMa mia, you could make some spicy sauce with that blade, I betcha!

Nice pruner, GT!

Thanks, Jeff.

A little knife spring cleaning.View attachment 709160

More than satisfactory stag you have there, Alan!!

Spotlighting the Pile Side ...'cause sometimes you feel like a loon

Nice, Gev! Is that the same Catt you've posted the past couple of days?

Been carrying this little guy for a few months and have a nice patina going.



Nathan

Simple but stupendous, Nathan! IMHO, you can't beat a spearpoint!

Thanks GT! The leftovers from the experiment made for some tasty stuffed hamburgers . Love that shade of blue on your pruner


AG Russell premium scout along for the ride today, one of those knives I thought I wouldn't carry but really enjoy using.

Thanks, Tom; I find that blue alox very appealing too. As usual, another fine pair from you!

Carrying an old Robeson barlow today...

Man, Atiger, you've got a million vivacious vintage Barlows!!

Thanks, Dean. Next month, I'll probably croon a tune as I prune in June! (Your turn! )
Congrats on the new Cadet! How close are the shades of olive on the Cadet and your Farmer?

Twofer Tuesday

Dreamy duo, Dee! I especially like the piebald one in the foreground!
(But as is so often the case, I don't know what I'm looking at! )

Congrats, r8shell, on those remarkable knives! I've looked longingly at those striped Esquires more than once, and I've admired Ettricks from afar forever!
Grand, generous gifts, Dopic1 and Greg!!

Canoe of the Week for me is a buckshot bone Colt (thanks, Dave):

Recycled pic. I had these two on me today.

 

[Methuselah]

I've never carried such a small blade before. Just knowing it was there was good enough. No opportunity arose to cut anything with this Queen 240 in Rosewood, but it is a great pointer, allowing me to point out a phrase that some folks don't see very often.

The Hayn Helpr is very useful in the kitchen! The vegetable is usually called scallions, in most recipes, or green onions maybe in England. I was using them in Miso Soup, because my vegetarian wife has had a nasty cold. Scallions are also good in cream cheese on a bagel. They are stronger than chives, less strong than shallots or onions.

In about a month, I'll trim the garlic plants of the scapes, which would turn into flowers if you left them on the plant, resulting in smaller garlic bulbs. I use garlic scapes the same way, as a finishing garnish, or make into a garlicky dip.

 

[Fodderwing]

Oh my goodness!

Yes, what Gev said.... Such a fine barlow @Atiger!
