I'm going camping today with my two boys. My old bones don't like sleeping on the ground as much as they used to, but I'd never miss the opportunity to get to the outdoors with two of my favorite people. Should be fun just spending some time fishing and talking about life around the campfire. I'll be Totin' these two useful items...

Hope you have a great time camping. I don't go as often as I'd like these days. The last time I went it rained solid for 8 days, and as I was in a small tent, I was aching for a week after I got back!
But I still miss it

Thank you! Each one is another learning experience - staring up at a steep learning curve
I’m now awaiting delivery of a 4 1/4” Taylor’s Eye Witness Lambsfoot I bought online that looks to have a badly cracked composition handle. So not only had I better get my skills up to the task, but I will soon be joining your LF club!
Trying to decide between bubinga, walnut,bocote, or buffalo horn for it. Leaning towards wood because that horn smells so bad when you sand it
Our trip to Scotland a couple of years ago was a real treat for me. I’m really impressed by the skill in building with stone - especially the dry fitted fences.

That's exciting news about your Lambsfoot Jeff, I can't wait to see what you do with it
Look forward to seeing you in the Guardians thread! 
Oh yes, I know about the smell of buffalo horn!
I'm glad you had a great visit to Scotland, beautiful country
Yes, there's a lot of skill goes into making those walls, most are made without any cement of any kind. I doubt it's more than 200 years old, but there's a stone wall at the bottom of my garden

Good knife choices! I hope you are not plagued by mosquitos like we are here. Went out picking black raspberries yesterday, and the clouds of frantically ravenous skeeters were actually panic inducing. Thank the Lord for Deet!I'm going camping today with my two boys.

Any idea what years Taylor was using that black composition on their lambsfoots?

The mosquitoes were BAD earlier this Summer, but not so bad now.
But early morning fishing might be another mosquito horror story. Lol

Busy today and excited enough to be giddy. I'm heading to our local Cabela's to purchase a riflescope and rings for a new rifle and have it all mounted, then to sight it in, so I'm totin' some "going shopping for outdoor gear" blades. A CRKT Hunt'n Fisch (tribute to late knife designer Larry Fisch) and a Kutmaster stockman.
I sucked my stomach in so long to take that last picture, I almost passed out.

Thank you! Bret Dowell made it quite a few years back. 3 5/8 mini slimline prototype. I love the slimline pattern and wanted a mini version of it so he was nice enough to make a template for me. Here it is open with an antique Indonesian brass kris knife. I don’t carry that one though lol.

Thanks for the compliment on my Norfolk. They are terrific! I have been getting a lot of compliments on my “Knife Board” lately.It is comprised of two antique fence boards that have been joined together with a Kreg Jig joint! The boards are then cut to shape on a band saw. The weathered texture of the boards do make a excellent background. Before you ask, No, I didn’t make it. My lovely wife bought it for me in an antique store in Lebanon Tennessee!
That is a great background, Ron; and the story just gives your knife
pictures more character. That is a great heritage knife for sure!
Your parents look like a special couple; 68 years is a substantial anniversary. 
I’m starting my week with a 1970 Case Barlow and a medium Wrights Stag Lambsfoot!
Nice pairing, Ron. What a way to start off!
Both are solid choices, Jeff. and nicely portrayed.
I thought that the Whiskey bone teardrop that you posted yesterday was nice, Dean, but today's totin' treasure is another wonderful Case creation, if not more wonderful.
I really like those covers, Steve. Pocketworn celluloid or bone patina?

I am content nowadays to have great memories of camping, rather than heave myself to the ground for fitful sleep. During my summer camp at Ft. Bragg, NC, my early days of deer hunting, and 11 years as an assistant Boy Scout leader, I got my share and more of "hard" sleep. Jack, I had the multi-day rain camp, but with 4 tents of 11-12 year old boys (when I die, I know I'm going to Heaven, because I've spent my time in Hell).

That's a nice selection.
