It was a big ole bee, but I guess the cold got him last night. I hope he wasn't a honey bee, because I think they are looking to move into the porch fascia.

The Whittler was a gift from my friend Legion, it's a 6308, and if I'm reading the stamp right, it's from the mid 1980s. Very solid walk&talk.

It's a Bumblebee not a honey bee or worse ( now in Texas ) Africanized honey bee

A bumblebee is a member of the genus Bombus, part of Apidae, one of the bee families. This genus is the only extant group in the tribe Bombini, though a few extinct related genera are known from fossils. Over 250 species of bumblebee are known

• Scientific name: Bombus
• Length: 0.59 inch (1.50 cm) – 0.67 inch (1.70 cm) (Early bumblebee, Queen) · 0.39 inch (1 cm) – 0.55 inch (1.40 cm) (Early bumblebee,
• Lifespan: 28 years – 28 years on average

That 6308 is a treasure from a good friend. Thank you.

Whetstones posts finally made me succumb and get a city knife. (MT Damascus, you need to stop posting such fine knives else you will cost me much money lol)

Used it to make me some pan fried potatoes today. I like this thing. Have my cattle knife with me also. Waiting on a pocono sheath for it. The stock one is quite a bit bulkier than required for such a small, isefil blade. And it slices better than it's thickness would suggest.

Puttin' a good edge on my new Kingwood 79

For the most part this knife still has the quite toothy original edges.

Thanks for the bumblebee info, G. I need to make sure they aren't living in the porch wall, but as long as they aren't destructive to the wood, I shan't panic. I can only stress out about so many things at one time.

Speaking of bees, is that a honeycomb pattern I see? What are those handles made of? I'd love a closer look.

Nice SVT ! I have come close to pulling the trigger on that knife many times, greatly looking forward to your impressions of it. I agree regarding the vertical sheaths, and have found that for me they carry much better in a pocket sheath for my typical day.

That is a honeycomb pattern r8shell, they call it "Blue C-Tek", but I have not handled one in person. I would love to know if it is textured.

For me today:

It looks like posting pictures us just something I can no longer do.
My mobile photobucket links won't let me copy them, and now I've signed up for flickr, but it doesn't even give me links to copy like its supposed to.

Anyways I'm carrying my vic tinker, and my imperial h6 with a few modifications.
I've added a swedge to the clip of the blade, and octagonalized the handle.

Great-looking Barlow Batman!

Thanks, Jack! I get a lot of comments on my notebook with that logo on it.

Gorgeous, Bob! You have such a talent for knife photography! Excellent knife!

Good looking Lanny's clip, Dee!

duna duna duna duna BARLOW!!!

Holy songfest, Batman! Thanks, Dee!

That Colonel Coon Barlow is a treasure, Paul!

Dean, does this mean you have secretly acquired Chuck Barris' '60s classic...

(Of course, the TC Barlow looks great too.)

I so wish! Thank you for the comment.

Holy Jigged Bone, Batman!! Terrific Covers on that TC, Dean!

Thanks, Gary!

Into the Garden

Lovely knife, Gev. And beautiful garden photos!

I went on a very long hike today. Towards the end I took this photo of my ebony Boy's Knife.

As usual, when I check in here, it seems I must wade through 4 or 5 pages of some pretty awesome knives. Somehow, that never feels like a chore, and is always a pleasure. A nice proliferation of lambsfoot knives it would seem lately, I really need to find one of those soon.
I would compliment so many here but this post would get quite long. Fine knives everyone, makes me almost embarrassed to show off mine today. But then again, there is nothing shameful about 'ol Uncle Henry...
