Had the ex in laws in town from Maine today (this week actually). Hosting a Christmas party so for the first time they can be here when their grandchildren open their gifts (boy is 16, girl is 6). My ex stepson came over for it. They had some lobsters sent down ahead of time. First time this coonass ever cooked lobster. They say it came out right. Personally, I would have done it in crab boil with taters and corn but that’s not how they say it should be done! Plus I made a big gumbo to go along. These two helped me. I wish I had an in action photo. The fixed blade is a new one from a local knife maker and friend @autogateman

This is what a pile of coonasses leaves behind from a pile of lobster.

Everybody seems to be smiling and eating, and the food was all eaten - looks like you did good, bud. Congrats for starting the holidays out well, especially for the grandparents. (Ahem, I do like that fixed blade.)

Sweet looking knife, Ace. Are you referring to a dye job on the handle and did you do it? BTW, I removed the cover, dropped the top, and took my open air car out for a spin today, too. What a great day to tool about!
- Stuart

Yes, the RR lockback was originally "amber bone" (really a combination of yellow and brown). I put it in a hot dye bath for 15 minutes using RIT brown liquid dye. It came out very deep brown, almost black -- kind of reminds me of the ebony covers on my 40-year-old Buck 110. I've gotten quite fond of the knife -- it is slim and light, has a solid lock-up, and is sturdy enough to take care of all sorts of tasks, including cutting honeysuckle, blackberry, and various little invasive things that sprout up.

Thanks Stuart. Yeah. Xikar cutter I've had for about 15 years. Self sharpening.

Great-looking knives folks

Nice Ettrick! You got there early for a good seat?

With Christmas coming up, not many folks can afford the admission price into York Minster! Hope I've got that right! Cool pic Donn

I often joke about "taking in strays" and "r8shell's Home for Worn and Wayward Knives" but sometimes an old knife just speaks to me.

Someone used this old Boker hard, but they loved it enough to reshape the main blade after they broke the tip. Such pocket-worn bone, it was someone's worry stone. I flushed out the dirt with lots of oil, and I'm going to put fresh edges on the blades today.

Nice

Glad to see you afoot

Thanks pal, I even made it up those steps!

I liked hiking in the woods when I was a kid and I have not grown out of it yet. In the rain is not a favorite now, but I try to soldier through. I'm staying with the Spey for awhile - it is a good blade.

Same here my friend, I just wish we had more woodland here. As a kid, I would always try to walk silently through the woods Hiawatha-style. Still do the same!

Great composition

X marks the spot! I haven't carried this pair together since September, so it's about time to get them some sunshine. A Case XX 009R Barlow and a C & X Lockwood Brothers (later owned by Joseph Elliot & Son, both companies in Sheffield) swell-end jack.
