Great shot of a stunning peanut!

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

I carried these three knives on my hike today.

Nice knives and photography! You are truly blessed to have such a beautiful area for your hikes.

- Stuart

Those will do.
Bathe them and have them sent to my chambers.

 

[5K Qs]

Cloudy and rainy day here today so I was inside cracking Hickory Nuts and using this old Camillus 4 line . Still a very solid knife and took a great edge for me .

Harry

That's an All-Star, Harry!

Today, again with my beautiful French whale...

Thank you, of course you can, here are the photos.

...

What a bewitching knife, Senhor Pinto!

#72 Whittler today

Capital knife, Steve!

A great pair of Canoes Gary! That Buck from Clay is a beautiful knife and hard to find. I have thought of Clay and I hope he and his family are well!
...
I’m carrying my Buck Canoe on a somewhat rainy morning!

Dynamite Buck canoe, Ron! Thanks for the compliments on my canoes. I knew jigged bone Buck canoes were out there somewhere, but I wasn't successful in finding one. That made Clay's sending me one he happened to find even better. Like you, I hope all is well with Clay.

These two today.

Elegant pairing, Tom!

5K Qs Not really, but you can't win them all and I love baseball so more disappointed season is ending.

Well-said, Alan!

...
A little overloaded today, with A Wright and three Uticas.

Thanks for the uke info, Jer. With the way the wind was blowing today, being overloaded was a fortunate safety decision, I'd claim!

Grand stag lambsfoot, PJohn! How are you liking it?

I'm just totin' this little peanut

View attachment 1001637

That's a heck of a peanut, Heath!

Thanks, Gary! I like your impulse control comment above. I usually don't buy on impulse, but some do get through before the "better angels of out nature" stop me.

I like the thematically themed presentation of your Lambsfoot of the Week.

Thanks, Dean. Not only did my wife and daughter get that lambsfoot for me in a York hardware store, but the grain has horizontal stripes on one side and diagonal stripes on the other, which reminded me of the Union Jack's "crossed crosses".

I carried these three knives on my hike today.

Illustrious trio for your hike, Dean!

It has a swagger when you open it...

Definitely a more descriptive version of "walk and talk"!

Well winter is arriving and my modified Case Muskrat has not left the pocket. Love this knife

Kudos on a killer knife!

I decided to tote these two today, but they never got out of my pocket for any duty. A friend fell a black cherry and a red maple yesterday and told me that he had "a few" fireplace-size cut logs. So, I left the house this morning in my pickup for a quick firewood run. Two hours later, I returned with a full bed load that was two rows above the bed rails. Then a little over an hour to unload and stack it for splitting. They were perfect fireplace lengths, but a bit robust in the girth and green enough to be heavier than they looked. That little chore whipped my derriere. I'll use one of my carries to trim a cigar when I go out to admire the wood pile again. Now, where's that ibuprofen??

- Stuart

Laudable pair of lookers to accompany you on what sounds like an honest day's work, Stuart!

Indeed I do! If this story had been set about 75 years later my character might have carried his knife on a drive in his Jaguar XK 140 OTS. (When you read that please use the British "JAG-you-are", not the American "JAG-war". )

Thanks GT! Beautiful rosewood on your Lambsfoot.
...

Thanks, Nick.

Dwight, IMHO you have some notable canoes, including this comely craft!!

Watchpocket Knife this week is a Case XX half-congress (thanks for the GAW, leghog)

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

These two Imperials, plus my LB7

 

[Spaten]

Your TWO-blade TEW for TUEsday is exemplary, Harry!


Thanks, Jack.
You have a pair of winners! I like the way the splendid pen knives are "trending" lately!


Thank you, @Pt-Luso. I think the knife is actually made by Salamandra, model 10012
https://cuchilleriaalbacete.com/co-en-2752-xx-salamandra-pocketknives-.html


Your Otter sodbuster looks right, too, @HFinn!


Slow and steady wins the race, Ken; great shell game you're playing with your charming 66!


Tremendous twin tip-bolstered 4-bladed bone-clad pens, Stuart!


Your stag Tacosa and the brass (?) dog knife are a classy couple of knives, Alan!


Touching story, PJohn!


Thanks for the camp knife props, Nick. Another stunning duo for you; that tip-bolstered Schrade schreds me!!


Charismatic knife, Gev! The inscription on the handle reminds me of this song with the line "Say it with dead flowers in my wedding":

You're carrying some immaculate woods for your woods walk, Jeff! Approximately where in Michigan is this National Forest?





That Ulster is the ultimate, Steve!


That stag 83 is stellar, Senhor Pinto!!


Thanks for the ID and the generous treatment of my Cadet II, Dean!


Muy cool azul, Dean!!


If you know so much about Mr. Peabody, you're surprisingly mature, Rachel! Impressive work on the scout rehandle!


Amazing pair, Taylor! (Are two clips better than one spear, though?? )


Shawn, is it possible you were too caught up in the Saints' game??


Thanks for the encouraging words, Spaten ; great shape for a knife that was sometimes abused by a foolish kid, too. The tree stamp bolsters sure are desirable IMHO!



Dwight & Wayne, those Cattaraugus Barlows with the tiny script bolster stamp are exquisite!! Probably my favorite of all the many Barlows I've seen here (even though I'm a Colonial/Imperial/RoughRider guy at heart ).

Canoe of the Week is a Buck jigged bone model (thanks, Clay):

Free Choice Knife of the Week is another canoe, a Böker Beer Barrel model:

Big Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider one-arm trapper:

- GT

Those are some fine canoes GT. I’m partial to the Böker especially.

I went out to dinner with the girlfriend tonight, and I felt like carrying something a bit fancy to go with my slacks and new button down shirt. A stag 78 in Northfield trim should do.

 

[tmd_87]

Carried my #44 all day. What a great knife, I love the blade combo.

 

[Duckdog]

Stuart my friend, that’s two beautiful oldies! Thanks for sharing them!

Nothing bashful about that big fella!!

Pen power indeed, Stuart; your provocative pen pair is preternaturally potent!!

D Duckdog Classic pair Stuart. Very nice.

That Tested is a dream...wow !! I guess the XX is ok too

Those will do.
Bathe them and have them sent to my chambers.

Laudable pair of lookers to accompany you on what sounds like an honest day's work, Stuart!

Thanks, guys, for the compliments on the old pen postings and the Case carries. A couple of glasses of wine have eased my firewood-totin' tension and I'm getting settled back on the Porch.
- Stuart

 

[JohnDF]

Was it National Canoe Day?
A bunch of beautiful canoes being posted today, just fantastic.

Glad I had this little knife with me today at Oktoberfest. Who says the #14 is too small for real work?

 

[Prester John]

Grand stag lambsfoot, PJohn! How are you liking it?

Well, Gary, I like it a whole lot. Been carrying it almost every day. The pull is stout, but I'm getting used to it. My first stag knife, but not the last. Nor the last lambsfoot. Need rosewood and ebony. May skip the horn. Would probably expand and contract too much in my environment (Texas gulf coast).

 

[Old Engineer]

This today . My first GEC that I bought new in 2015 .




Harry

 

[Duckdog]

Just one pen for me today.

What a beauty, Nick!

Canoe of the Week is a Buck jigged bone model (thanks, Clay):

Free Choice Knife of the Week is another canoe, a Böker Beer Barrel model:

You are the commodore of canoes, GT. That's a fine fleet.

Thanks - it’s the typical 3 3/8 in barlow. The photo may have blurred the perspective - here’s the same knife with a couple of other like-sized barlows.

Those are standard bearing barlows, Thank you for sharing them. You and Old Engineer seem to have the classics corralled.

This is my plan - 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot in horn, and this Sleeveboard, which was made in Sheffield for a Liverpool hardware merchant, and a gift from our old pal Stephen @Old & In The Way

What a beautiful sleeveboard, Jack! Blades, covers - all make a great piece.

Today, again with my beautiful French whale...

That knife makes me so happy. I smile every time that I look at it. Thank you for sharing it

Captivating Case, Jeff.

#72 Whittler today

And the bar gets raised again! Sheesh! Thanks, Steve, for keeping "old knife love" alive.

I’m carrying my Buck Canoe on a somewhat rainy morning!

Ron, I think that we are under the same clouds. At least you have a capable (and handsome) canoe to get you through the storm.

My Lambsfoot of the Week is my rosewood Union Jack:

GT, that wood grain is so nice. Congratulations on that capture.

So very nice, Nick. You, @Jack Black , Gevonovich , and @SteveC keep my nostalgia appreciation at a high level.

I'm just totin' this little peanut

That's a great looking little knife, Heath. I love totin' them. too.

Hard to photograph this guy, but the sun really shows the brilliance of the ironwood much better than this photo indicates.

It looks fine to me, Joshua. A handsome knife,

View attachment 1001823

A classic Case canoe, Dwight, and well portrayed.

Watchpocket Knife this week is a Case XX half-congress (thanks for the GAW, leghog)

That's the ticket, GT. What a classic pocket pattern. As you may know, I love the half congresses and that is a very fine example. "Envy, get thee behind me!"

These two Imperials, plus my LB7

David, your knife posts exude a solid work ethic, regardless of their age. Good honest knives. I really appreciate that because, regardless of our occasional homage to (adoration of ??) them, they are tools. Those are fine knives that you posted. Do you have a pile side view of the wood screw?

Very nice choice. Good for slicing a steak and impressing the lady all at once.
When you are ready to take it to the next level, start taking photos of your knives in front of her. If she doesn't freak out or run, there's your sign.
During a walk in the woods the other day, we were admiring some really cool looking moss when Mrs. Fleschwund suggested it would make a good background for a knife photo. She might be a keeper.

 

[JTB_5]

Thanks Stuart!

D Duckdog ,
Thanks, Stuart!

Thank you Stuart.

This favourite today.

Walden and a Winter moon
Our love deserves another try
Before you whisper goodbye
All Too Soon

 

[Prester John]

That's a bugger, this was a few years back when I was living in NW Ontario on the Minnesota border when this happened.
It gets mighty cold there on the Lake of the Woods, I remember splitting the ash when it was -32 F it just explodes at that temp.
The good thing with wood splitting is you get warm twice. All the best Stuart.

-32? Was that a misprint? Can you even go outside in that kind of weather?

 

[dc50]

-32? Was that a misprint? Can you even go outside in that kind of weather?

ha ha not a misprint it's not unusual to even see -40 Although with global warming the winters have been a little warmer the past decade or so.
