I love the knives, young lady, both of them. Mighty fine.

But I'd pick up one of those rocks and smash that little gremlin. He's got a real evil look in his eye.
Please don't tell him I said that, I don't want him to visit me in my sleep tonight.

That was my HSB Cattle Knife either helping or hiding, I'm not sure which. :D

It was great, Ron. Due to some last minute duties at home and traffic on the road, I got to the spot late, but my buddies motored in to pick me up. We went back out for three late afternoon hours and picked up 3 nice bluefish and 7 small to medium spanish mackerels. One of the guys is going to cherry wood smoke all of them for a get-together next week when we have some dove breasts to grill. My knives on the boat were close to traditional, but had polypropylene handles on the fixed blades and thumb-holes on the folders, so I daren't post them. I did switch to this knife for my return cocktail hour and dinner with my wife and some neighbors tonight:

Exquisite stag pair, Jack! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


I like that plan, but my enthusiasm is diminished when I realize that many knives older than I am look better than I do. :(:rolleyes:


Beguiling brace of red/white Barlows! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


Alan, each of your posts makes me think I'm looking at my favorite among your knives, but then your next post causes me to reconsider. :eek::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


That's an impressive knife!! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


I admire (and fully understand) your commitment to that knife, Gary! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Suggesting the start of Stallion Saturday, John?? ;) Enchanting knife! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Impeccable Imperial, Steve! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


The allure of Alox is hard to resist! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Striking stag, Ron, that reminds me of hot cocoa or a chocolate malted! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:


Bartender, I'll have another Remington on the Rocks!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


How "mini" is a Case muskrat, Dean? That red is nice, and I like the muskrat pattern much better today than I did a couple of years ago! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


That's a dandy, deluxe duo, Randy! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: (I don't recall seeing Jake around The Porch for quite some time. :confused:)


Thanks for the support, Dean. :)


I appreciate your kind remarks, Jack. :)


Thanks for the reply, Harry. :) Keeping the grass green is pretty good; our front lawn has been crunchy for a couple of months. :(


THAT'S the kind of edge I'd like to get on my favorite knives!! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Nick, I've really been enjoying your Amazing August knife selections :cool::cool::thumbsup:, but worry a bit that you'll switch to So-So September knives at the end of this week! :eek::p


IMHO, Will, that knife should move to the head of the class!! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:


That's nice of you to say, Jeff, and I and most of us here would sincerely say, "Same to you!" :)


Wow! Tomato Acrylic is such an accurate description of the cover colors on your handsome knife, Paul! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Will, I hope you can change your situation to get more time in your garden! :thumbsup::thumbsup::)


Well-matched marvels, Jack! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Cool church pocket dump, Jeff! :cool::cool::thumbsup: You've mentioned playing guitar at church; does that glass doohickey indicate that you do some slide stuff??

I see why I invested time in a schedule so I don't have to agonize over so many choices each week!

Thanks for the compliments my friend, that's a classy trio you're carrying there, I especially like the Beer Barrel Canoe :) :thumbsup:

It's a holiday here, and the area where I live hosts Europe's oldest West Indian carnival. I'm carrying this year's Guardians Lambsfoot in ebony, an' me t'ree star Okapi! ;) :thumbsup:

I reckon this is a decent birthday carry. The bail bothered me, so I removed it yesterday. It went quite alright, I managed not to scratch the bolsters too badly ... :rolleyes:

Good job! :cool: Bails, shackles etc I don't care for-particularly on the smaller knife. They obstruct things, mess up the bolster and get under the blade when you want to close it:eek:

Very nice knife the stainless Conductor:thumbsup:

Thanks Will, it's indeed a fine knife, I eyed them ever since I saw them but didn't get a chance. Yours is a beauty, imo plain bolsters suit this pattern very well. Is yours stag or elk?

Reading and watching the greatest screensaver there is today :D
GEC really hit the nail on the head with the #44

I don’t think you are alone in that assessment of the 44, judging by how many are shown in this thread!

Don’t stare at the screen too long - the Matrix will get your soul!
 
I ISKRA ~ Happy Birthday!

We get a lot of help with planting from squirrels and chipmunks. Sometime last fall, an Alvin took some beans from the garden and planted them at the base of a spruce by the driveway, so we had a pole bean there. And yes, we ate them!
This morning as I was getting into the car, I noticed that hiding in the beans , hoping I would not notice, was Mr. Leaves Of Three Let It Be ~ poison ivy.
View attachment 974112 Sticking with the 43 again today since it performed so well on my steak last night.

Jeff, "Leaves Of Three Let Be" Ivy or it's first cousin Oak or it's second cousin Sumac has slipped up on me big time!!! :oops: :mad: We've been doing a lot of landscape work and I thought I was extra careful but I got it anyway! So I'm treating the effects as much as one can and I'm staying indoors for a couple of days out of the heat to keep it from spreading anymore! I've got these two close by this morning just in case I need to cut something! :D
