My birthday today and this D.W. Childress arrived in the mail. I am happy!

Giving the Dunlap a break. Don't wanna wear out the newness and gladness that I own it now lol

My LBW came back from case. It's better, I think but not perfect. Put a fresh edge in it and gonna carry it for work tonight. Maybe paired with the ivory Enzo but that's up in the air.

Best wishes for a relaxing Labor Day to all y'all. I'm laboring with this large lockback folder by Gary Cunningham. Luckily, today's pants have large pockets.

Happy birthday, Camillus! That Childress looks great! I think that might the first true profile shot I've ever seen of a Childress knife.

We're back home from an out-of-state wedding today, and I decided to carry this.

I'm taking my first stab at smoking a Boston Butt today. Beer, WEC 6 Hours of Mexico, and my trusty Peanut are helping me. My A. Wright Lambfoot is in my pocket, too.

Looks like you're a hardcore multitasker, Shawn!!

Thanks, Gary. My wife tries to hide my bucket list! Little does she know that my memory, as far as that list goes, is sharp as that pinched peanut! Now where'd I leave my wallet?

That's some superb sowbellies there GT.

Church day, so it's this one as usual.

But my beautiful wife, who I am lucky to be a part of her life, requested steaks tonight. I'll probably let the Dunlap stockman join me for that job. (Recycled photo, but you get the picture *sic*)

Thanks, Joey. Your D&D duo (Davison and Dunlap) is extra special!! (That Bible looks like it has some miles on it, too. )

I agree and I'm thinking of selling my modern folders and rolling with some quality vintage folders.

Rob, vintage Barlows like your Robeson sure are desirable!! I think I'd rather have a functional not-nearly-mint old Barlow than a brand new current model from GEC or Queen.

Sounds like a plan, Rob!

I didn't hunt them myself, so I'll have to ask. There isn't much meat on the little mourning doves, so these are probably white-wing doves. Good luck with the eye issues. I know a number of people who've had cataract surgery, and they are all happy with the results. I guess with cataracts, vision dims so gradually, you don't notice it day to day, and then after surgery everything looks so clear and bright!

Who knew that doves came in different kinds? I'm obviously no ornithologist! (I think there's a Ferlin Husky gospel song about the wings of a snow white dove.)
Thanks for the eye well-wishes. I know that trying to judge fly balls in the outfield this summer during my church league softball games was a nightmare.

@5kQs Thanks man !
I never was a cat fancier myself either but then after 10 years with my beloved Red Doberman . My GF at the time was tired of me being in mourning after his passing so she talked me into getting a kitten. Since I've grown very fond of them there normally very independent yet loving. Mercedes though can't get enough attention and always has to be right there even in pictures if she can

Swiss Army steak knife.

Good to see that orange Pioneer helping you keep body and soul together, Tom!

Today I had my Colt Canoe that 5k Qs gifted me (Thank you ever so much Gary). I have only had one Canoe before a Rough Rider that I never carried and gifted to someone so this was the first time I ever carried one and really used it. I must say it's a great pattern. I cut up a bunch of cardboard, cut off a piece of garden hose to put a new end on it, trimmed some plants for my wife and played around feathering some sticks. It felt great in hand and is still sharp. I am sold and will be buying some more of them.

Glad that Colt canoe is working out for you, Randy! I can't seem to decide how good a knife is until I use it (and most of them are much better than I expected once I give them a chance - I guess I have pretty low standards. )

One of my favorite and daily users

Splendid spear Barlow, Paul!

Randy,put the catalog down & step away from the table!

This post made me spew some of my breakfast cereal across the kitchen table!

I've been carrying my Cranberry Red #15 Rope Knife this weekend, and will likely keep it in my pocket going into this week.

Your rope knife rocks, Barrett!

Thanks my friend, those are some more great-looking Sowbellies :thumbsup;
...
Edit - Forgot to add what I'm carrying today!

Pair of very handsome handles, Jack!

My birthday today and this D.W. Childress arrived in the mail. I am happy!

Happy Birthday, Camillus! Big burl and big blade filling your hand there!

Admirable white/Wright combo for the holiday, Rachel!!

Wow!! Just from the photo, that whittler sure looks REAL close to perfect to me, SVT!

Your almost-white ram's horn Lionsteel Barlow is VERY cool, bonzodog!

I'm still enjoying my sowbelly stockman long weekend, but I pulled out another knife "for old times' sake" today. One of my sisters sent all the siblings email yesterday with pictures of the farm on which we grew up. My brother-in-law apparently had agricultural business near the old farm last week, and decided to stop by to see what it currently looks like. (My dad sold the farm almost 30 years ago.) No one was home, but that didn't stop BIL from taking photos anyway. (I guess he left his card and a note.) Here's the barn where I learned the meaning of "work"; how's that for Labor Day? Below the barn pic is a pic of the knife I always used growing up on the farm.

I couldn't help but want to go back to carbon steel. It just felt right for today. Who am I kidding, a TC Barlow day is always a good day.

Happy Labor Day Ladies and Gentlemen. I thank all of you who make America such a great country.

Buck 301 in black. Not fancy, but with blade steel at 59HRC (I measured it) and with the blade profile that Buck uses these days, it really performs well for me.
