Try stretching the backs of your legs.
Sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you, and slowly bring your nose toward each knee. Do it both with your legs together and apart. Do it slowly, long, and often. It really works. It also works as a preventative since the back muscles are inflamed from compensating for your tight hamstrings.

Thanks for the advice Jeff I've been going to physio for some other problems recently, and the exercise seems to have set off my back problems. Ironically, I'd just been stretching my hamstrings immediately before my back went this time, but I'll definitely keep up with those stretches when I'm in a bit less pain. I really appreciate all the health advice I've had on The Porch over the years, been a heck of a lot more helpful than my doctor

This Winchester hasn’t seen the light of day in quite a while, decided to remedy that today.

 

[Half/Stop]

Two for Thursday! A Case 1970 Barlow and a Lambsfoot from A. Wright!

 

[5K Qs]

I was a top speller when I was in elementary school, but I mis-spelled "Taramundi" in my post yesterday. When I type the word, I often miss the second "a".

Went German today.

Tough to top that creamy Otter, but the sheath is like a cherry on top!

...Thanks a lot my friend, I always enjoy seeing that fine Cadet, and the cool Pepsi opener just as much
...
Going with these two today (feel in need of some Charlow Power!)

Thanks for the support, Jack. No surprise that Jack Black would post black wood on Wednesday; that pair should help you claw your way to the top!

...I'm toting two knives, a Boker large Stockman in Rosewood and a Wright's large Lambsfoot in Stag!

I'm sure that versatile pair enabled you to come out on top of any breakfast battles, Ron!

Thought I’d give these two a ride today.

That pair deserves top billing, Jeff!

Got some redbone goodness in my pocket today.

Like cream, that old Case rises to the top, @ISKRA !!

Yes, a good company Currently, the only one I have is the Webermesser, a gift from @Humppa

I'm sorry to hear your back is still bothering you, Jack.

I like that Otter, Jack, but off the top of my head, don't I remember you having an Otter Ankermesser, or is your knife with the inlaid anchor not an Otter? I hope you get on top of the back pain ASAP!!
Dean, are you back to top form after your recent procedure??

Yup, single spring.
As for @r8shell's yellow on the Imperial, you can write your initials on it with a sharpie. Or other mystic runes. (Can't quote a quote, it seems.)

Good idea, Jer; that makes the Imperial with the yellow rectangle a top banana!

A pair in ebony. Happy Wooden Wednesday everybody.

Top of the line ebony duo, John!

Today, W.W.W.

That two-tone Workhorse is top dog, Ken!

Wooden Wednesday...

That trio is terrific, top to bottom!

Wooden Wednesday carry!

Today, for wooden Wednesday, I have a Rosewood Lambsfoot.

USDA top choice lambsfoots, Taylor & Dave!

Wooden Wednesday Knives today!
Enjoy the day!

Tip-top timber trio, Gary!

Lol YES, that horse is loooooooong gone . And I ordered the scout anyway . Nice selection of multi-layers GT, the alox really pops in your photo!

I sharpened this city knife last night to a very refined edge; these are convex, and are pretty good slicers for as thick as they are. I haven't had occasion to cut anything since, isn't that just the way it goes sometimes?

Thanks, Tom. You're at the top of your game with that fixed/folder pair!

I have a slender wooden totin' companion today: an Aerial senator pen (1912-1944) in cocobolo, long pulls on both blades.

Top flight pen knife, Stuart!!

I'm carrying these two teardrops today - a Case and a Winchester. I sharpened the Winchester and then, in a moment of inattention, I cut two fingers! %^&*@! Now that the Winchester has been christened, I'll probably carry it more often.

Top-notch teardrops, Dean! Sorry to hear that one of them cut notches out of your fingers.

I had an Opinel in Cub Scouts. Now that I’m in my late 30s, I think it’s high time to get reacquainted. Hoooboy is it slicey!

Our top story today: Opinels cut like the dickens (as J jackknife says)! Great knife, @Spaten, and it's cool that you and Opinels have a long history!

Thanks, GT ! Your a good man

Thanks for the kindness, Dave; you make me feel like I'm on top of the world! (You can reshape an Opinel handle quite easily with sandpaper, if you want to flatten the sides for pocket carry.)

That's pretty much top of the food chain for a jack knife, Paul!

No need for apologies GT! We all get behind sometimes. The Workhorse and the Churchill share similar features, single spring and two blades. I believe they are also the same length at 3-3/4”. After that they are two different knives. I like them both and if I had to choose one over the other it would be a hard choice. I’m really glad I don’t have to!

Both worth top dollar, Ron!!

Top of the heap pic of your lambsfoot, Joshua, in the way it shows off the texture of the wood I hadn't noticed before!

I’ve never seen a Taramundi before. It looks pretty neat. Do you have a shot with the blade open?
...

Thanks, @Spaten. Here you go:

View attachment 971067

The checkered jigging on the bone is top of the heap quality, @Anothername !!

Thanks, GT. The Boker had a very delicate "gold" filigree tree shield that fell off. I couldn't decide how to best re-attach it in a manner that looked clean, so I didn't. I kinda like the look now. The "face" is in the eye of the beholder. That's a nice tandem of canoes that you are commanding.
- Stuart

Thanks for the top quality info and compliment, Stuart.

If you think it looks rough now you should have seen it when I first got it.

You can store some top drawer knives in that impressive chest, @jnevill !!

My Lambsfoot of the Week is the 2017 Guardians horn lambsfoot I call my Lam Jack:

Thanks, Gary. Both of your canoes are top drawer.

Dean, are you back to top form after your recent procedure??

Top-notch teardrops, Dean! Sorry to hear that one of them cut notches out of your fingers.

- GT

Yes, I'm back to top form. Except for my recent knife cuts (minor really).

Thank you again, Gary.

 

[RDaneel]

Today's carry are my Ancient TC spearpoint and Case slimline trapper.

Lovely !

That makes for a nice combination Tom

Thanks pal I'm afraid my Ankermesser has blank tangs, I guess it could be an Otter, but the Anchor is placed slightly differently to the modern ones



Nice choice of Lambsfoot

 

[kai76]

Another day and another Case.

 

[Half/Stop]

Great pairing Ron

Thanks Jack!
