For Trapper Tuesday:

Case amber bone SS trapper. But I usually carry this in a leather belt sheath. That leaves room in my pocket for more knives.

Going to tote this also:

Case jigged Delrin SS wharncliffe mini-trapper, won in a GAW hosted by @JohnDF & @t.willy. Wonderfully useful lightweight knife.

But it's on the small side, so I'm gonna kick it up a notch and also tote a recent acquisition:
32982100188_97c06579e3_b.jpg

A traditional folding knife from Albacete, España, with polished deer stag. Made by a skilled artisan, José Antonio Herreros Gómez, @ArtesaniaHerreros. It's about the size of my trapper, but only half the weight. Sometimes I forget I'm carrying it.

Maybe that's enough for one day. We'll see.

Thanks, Jack! Hope I can figure out which is the media icon. ;). Will try it from my desktop computer soon.

Burton is probably better than Thomas. What a voice! I wonder if Alexander Scourby did one too?

Yup, -31/-23.8 is a bit nippy. But Canadians are tough stuff.
We got within 2 degrees of that last Tue-Thur, but by Sat, had a 70 degree swing the other way.

Ya know, all my life, these cold snaps were called “Alberta Clippers”. But the Alberta Tourism Council felt they were being scapegoated . Not only that, they thought they were being blamed unfairly. So they bribed all of the American weather reporters to call it something else. That’s why this cold snap was called a “Polar Vortex”.
See how it sounds scary and sciency and stuff? And instead of blaming our friends to the north for the snotsicles in our beards, we can only blame polar bears.

You're right.
Here in Maine we used to hear "Alberta Clipper" all the time. That is, until recently.

Hmmmm...
 
View attachment 1067850 I am fortunate to have some old knives, including a couple of my Granddad’s, and some wonderful new ones. These two Schrades are neither. But they come from a time when you could walk into any hardware store and choose a quality working knife from a well-stocked display for an affordable price.
Even though this pair are 15-20 years younger than me, they were the knives of choice when I reached knife carrying age.
Think I’ll stick with them for awhile.
