I like the Yankees cap!Buzzbait, in the future this trip will be very important for your daughter. Then she will choose her way but always with it in her mind.
Last summer my son has had some lessons with my friend Gigi Sechi in Sardenia.
Knife-making and Italian in the same time .
He came back with two big kitchen knives .

Welcome back, Senhor Pinto!
Wipe em down...gonna flitz the Lambsfoot and restart the process
Thank you very much my friend, my back is still aching, but nothing like the pain I was getting last week
Dylan & Jack, you're certainly trend-setters with your "Flora/Fauna" handle pairings!
Carried one of my Bulldog Tobacco Barlows to the YMCA and coffee to show to my friends . Like this knife a lot . Sway Back Barlow with a sheep foot and Pen .
Then this afternoon I added my TEW Lambfoot to my pockets as well .

I'm totin' two today, Ebony from Sheffield and Osage from Titusville.
Hi all. Sorry I've been away for so long, but the summer has been just too good for Internet time. I just got back yesterday from a month of camping in the Adirondacks with Abby, my 12-year old daughter. Much fun was had, and it was a wonderful chance to connect with her before she becomes a teenager. We summited four mountains and climbed their fire towers. We canoed 4 lake and parts of the Hudson River. We did 15-mile hikes to seldom seen waters. We slept out under the stars and had epic mountain bike rides.
And while I packed a ton of knives to play with, the extra knives weren't required. I tossed Rondeau, my ironwood 77 Barlow, into my pocket on the first day, and it stayed there for the entire trip. Other than some daily work with a hatchet and folding saw, Rondeau made every cut during the month of August. It was a interesting change from the usual Camillus saw scout while camping. I had to be a bit careful about rust with the Barlow, but the edge holding on GEC's 1095 was soooooooo much better than the Camillus 440A. I spent an hour midway through the trip, to touch up the edges, first on a Carborundum stone, and then moving to a soft and hard Arkansas stone, and finished on a leather strop. But other than that one sharpening session, no touch-ups were required. Simply amazing edge holding and efficient cutting. In contrast, my Camillus would have required touch-ups every few days.
I was also worried about losing the knife, fearing that it might slip from its leather pouch, unlike a scout knife that can be shackled directly to me with a lanyard. But my worries were unfounded. The knife never fell out once. My old homemade leather pouch did its job well.
Lovely knife and photograph. Churchill is probably the most important figure of the 20th Century.

Hi Dylan. No. The Saldana started as a creamy bone that has yellowed with age. Unlike most Lanny's it's a comfortable carry. My others are big.
When I was a boy, my Mother spoke of him often
I had one of his quotes in my signature here for a long time. "If your going through hell keep on going"

Thanks, y'all. As far as I know, the sharpening choil is factory. I won that knife in a GAW and I am embarrassed to say that I can't remember the generous members name.The only thing I did is a regrind to thin out the blade.
I'm carrying the Cattle Knife and coon fingering my new Robertson Pacheco.

That's certainly some serious patina!
