GT, you are packing a passel of problem preventing/patching/pacifying pocket powerhouses. If they were drayhorses, the Marbles would be the Percheron.
- Stuart

Your allegiance to allegorical alliteration is alluring, Stuart! I don't know much about horses, so I had to look up Percherons.

...
I always enjoy seeing your Pioneer GT
...
These two for me today

Thanks, Jack. I always enjoy carrying my Pioneer (or even better, my Vic Electrician), but I've committed myself to an "equal-time" approach.
An outstanding pair you've selected!

Yep. It's Wednesday.

Wise, wondrous, wood choices, Rachel! The Tree Brand Böker seems so natural on its branch, but how did you ever coax a lamb up into that tree??

...
Absolutely, GT! Although you did send me back to the Latin translator, Teach!

I should have known it, considering I had basically the same phrase in English on my business card for six years!

That's a fine and capable trio you have there, GT. How do you like that Marbles? It looks like an interesting pattern - is it exclusive to Marbles?
...

What a strange coincidence, Chin ... or is it Grand Design?? I essentially started with the English phrase and used an English-->Latin translator to get my comment.
Thanks for your positive characterization of the knives I displayed. The Marbles Workman "trapper" is basically a scout/camp knife pattern with "arrested development": no can opener or punch/awl, but it does have spearpoint blade (with a little ruler on one side), bottle opener/flathead driver/wire stripper, and phillips driver (and bail/shackle). I consider it a much more "serious" knife than some other models in the Marbles Workman series that have little hammers or adjustable wrenches sticking out one end of the knife!

...

First-rate Remington, Steve; radiant wood, too!

Thanks! I went into a bit more detail here and here.
...

Thanks for the links, Jeff. I tried to make sense of the blade emblem, and can't believe I couldn't come up with "Climax"! Impressive that they can fit "Schmachtendberg" on the tang! I think that's German for something like "Yearning Mountain", which is a fitting name considering the emotions that knife evokes!

My Weds, Thurs, Fri carry. The ancient ash handled Trestle Pine Superior for today, being as it's Wooden Wednesday.

Nice knives, picturerock! The blue Case (?) with the quadruply-threaded bolsters really caught my eye!

A pair of admirable pairs, Tom, both boots and knives!!

Yesterday's carry

Cool SAK, FBC! Recruit, or am I missing some backside tools?

Here are my picks for wooden (albeit stabilized wood) Wednesday: Gerber PK-3 Handyman and Buck 110

...
I understand using stabilized wood handled knives will reduce the chance of me being warped, and I can use all the help I can get.
- Stuart

Never thought of it that way, Stuart!!
Prime pair for Wooden Wednesday!

My peanut-like knife for this week is a Rough Rider half-whittler with unmatched covers:

My watch pocket knife this week is a green pick bone Hen and Rooster mini canoe (thanks, Will):

Both excellent patterns my friend Thank you very much

I almost certainly won't get a chance to post tomorrow, but I'll have this one with me

Thank you, GT. I took that picture last Yorkshire Day, so the Lambfoot was feeling quite "elevated" at the time.

Spooky! That track just came up on my playlist!

Synchronicity It led me to some really good stuff I'm listening to now. Thanks to you I found some pearls which prompted me to check on some

My non-SAK bailed knife for this week is a Marbles Workman trapper with G-10 scales:

Nice.

My last evening with this scrimshawed tribute. Hanging out on the porch, this last day of summer.

A pair of admirable pairs, Tom, both boots and knives!!

Thanks again GT. I pulled a real rookie move with the Helle shortly after taking that pic. Was using it to cut some brush near ground level when the stalks gave way, sending the blade into a rock with a sickening scrape. Really chewed up about 1" in the belly. Funny thing was, I had been cutting up in order to avoid that, but didn't like the blade coming up towards me (I was stooped over) so switched to cutting downward. Better me than the blade I suppose. Anyway, into the workshop after lunch I went, and ground the entire blade back to better than new. (Attended to a set of pruning shears while I was at it.)

Congrats on your BF TC Barlow, Dean!!

Good eye, Gary, it is indeed a Recruit.

Today was a Lambsfoot kind of day.

Case humpback stockman.

Scobyville, NJ-Besides the distillery they also had the farm there, used to be able to go there & pick your own fresh fruit & produce. Lived not far from it ,used to take the
kids there for pumpkins also at Halloween. Like the covers on that Humpback

Thank you, my friend !! I just love the depth of the pearlescence to the old ones. I have a mountain and have been collecting them for years. Many of my friends from here have sent me some beauties from their countries. Jack Black is well represented in that photo ( one so old its almost completely worn away...one of the many pennies he sent me )
