Satisfying stag, Senhor Pinto! Is that a toy in the photo, or some kind of fishing float?

Many thanks Mr. Gary, it is a toy, a big toy!!!

Zulu spear just arrived from Manny Saldana and went right into my pocket for the week!

With all this squirrel talk, I feel it's appropriate to carry this today
GEC Conductor in stainless, squirrels acorns galore

Great looking Squirrel skinnin' knife!! Really like the size of that one!

Easing into Monday by totin' two Queen easy openers. a #11EO utility knife and a #62 large trapper, both 1958-1960. Take it easy today, y'all.

Lovely pair of Queens! Not a bad hand!

Fantastic find! It's in such great shape for the age!

I have these two working knives with me today.

What lovely duo and pleasing photograph. Would you mind sharing a bit about the bottom one? I can’t make out the etching on the shield and am intrigued. I apologize if you’ve already done so recently, I frequently get behind on this thread and could have missed it.

That jigged bone is spectacular!

 

[Jack Black]

Considering that I'm almost always behind in this thread, it's hard for me to believe it EVER drops off the front page!
Capital stag on your AC and AJ, Jack!

Very nice Steve

Thanks GT, that's the exact reason I picked the black one over the other colors.
The grey looked nice, and so did the blue and gold versions.

Thank you, Gary! Your venerable Soldier was well photographed. It looks good for 32 years of age!

Today, I carried my bone stag Teardrop. I took the photograph yesterday when it was a windy 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16C).

Hey Greg - no worries, it is a Winchester scout. The shield actually has the word “Scout” stamped into it, but it was pretty pocket worn when I bought it:

This is the tang:

We have infinite fox squirrels and plenty of reds. Also some black ones sized between the fox and red, but not right around here. My mom knew an affluent family with an au-pair girl from Europe (did I say they were affluent?). The au-pair used to snare the squirrels and cook them for the family.
I knew a classy professor in Ann Arbor who really missed his fried squirrels from olden times.

I was reading on BBC News today or yesterday that the crop of grasshoppers is failing in Africa. Too much grasshopper habitat being cleared for farming.
