@5K Qs Those are some fine blades, GT. I particularly like the two Cases.



I have noted that you and several others favor the use of folders in the kitchen for food prep and table service. I have used my Opinel No. 8 occasionally to slice sausages after grilling, but do not have much other culinary experience with food and folders (other than picnics and tailgate parties). Aside from the carbon blade care (I tend more toward stainless steels), isn't cleaning a folder after food duty a bit of a chore?

I'm curious, but I'm not sure that I could change my ways too much, as my wife may protest my adding a bunch of my folders to the kitchen knife battery I have in there now:

Some people might also object to being expected to suck the pocket lint of others.
I use kitchen knives in the kitchen too, except for halving an English muffin or peeling an apple or such for myself.

Intriguing Opinel, mykel! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: Do you know why the blade stamp differs from those of most Opinel knives we see posted here? - GT

Sorry GT, I have searched the net and haven't found anything to explain it.:confused:
All I can find is Le Savoyard means it's from the Savoy region of France.:rolleyes:

I like to hear it sometimes
If any moment should turn blue
I just let my mind wander through
All those times I had with you
And I think I heard ...I love you
I like to hear it sometimes

And thank you for tomorrow

I have never been able to memorize poetry, but I do have some old printings of it that I picked up for almost nothing 2nd hand. Your post is telling me I should devote some time to the appreciation of verse. Did you write that? Whether it's yours or not, thanks for putting alongside the picture of that fine old jack knife. For some reason, it touches me.

Same ol same ol slipjoint. Also carrying a Dozier Arkansas Toothpick, just because I can. We're getting some snow flurries and the forecast is lake effect snow starting at 7 pm today and through 1 pm tomorrow. Lake Ontario is a big winter weather maker around here.
Nice posts, Folks! Hope you are having a great weekend!

The 303 is doing God's work - making the spouse happy. Nice ceiling for a mud room, and a very nice Craftsman style shade. You da' man!

Thank you for your kind words. The wife asked for a warm cozy back entry into the house from the backyard/drive so a craftsman style mini mudroom she will get.

Those last three words made my heart smile. Cultivate your heart and feed your soul ;)

Yes , an old love found that knife for me in a small town and it reminded me of the torch I still carry for her.

This one reminds me of an old friend that I wish would come back to the porch. The light is always on for you Mark ! I won't write any verse for you..lol

We had candied sweet taters with brown sugar and walnuts and I seared venison tenderloin wrapped in bacon on the Big Green Egg, had to try out my new planchata griddle! Wow was it good and the Dogleg made short work of cutting chores.

Dang, dude! I wouldn't even bother with a knife nor fork. That's finger food when you inhale it. I'm about out of venison and my season has started slow. Thanks for showing that plate!!

A BEAUTY Gev and I too wish Mark would engage this forum more. I know he's dedicated himself to a life changing project over the last four or five months. We do text and talk at least once or twice a week which I enjoy:thumbsup:
