Lots of you are already amidst spring flowers but here in mid-coast Maine on this 45°F day I'm "needing" to cut forsythia to bring them in for a forced bloom. A nice way to advance the season and bring some sun into the house.
Good thing I had my trusty Artesanía Herreros stag NAVAJA on me today
Starting to look a bit used - oh well ...

Speaking of amount of steel, I'm gearing up for stainless weather while clinging to my new carbons.An amazing amount of steel has been carried along today...![]()
Thanks, Michael, and I don't know the species of tree, but I'll try to find out. It is among some flowering cherry trees and an old Chinese chestnut tree in the yard of our local branch library. It is pretty special.

My EDC always includes the middle Ancient, but don’t tell the other two. They get jealous.![]()
I’m doing some much needed yard work today. It gets harder and harder on an old fat boy each year. I’m totin this large Rosewood Lambsfoot to help where needed!![]()
Morning folks, just a Unity Lambsfoot today![]()
Fortunate to pick-up one of my favorite covers - Smooth Autumn Gold Bone.
Wow, 7000 pages of knives! Carrying my old HSB Jr. Cattle last couple of days. Handles are some kind of pre-Delrin synthetic but they are holding up well and show no signs of off-gassing. OH
Today I've got a favorite of mine.
As for me, I’m really feeling the Case beer trapper this week, so it’s getting much pocket time along with the Camillus.
Going to go with these two for my Thursday carry![]()

It's wonderful. Well crafted and artistic, yet incredibly quirky and strange. My kinda knife.![]()
Love this pic Harvey. I absolutely love all metal advertising and souvenir knives.
They are amazing but as Buzz said, the Ulster is to die for. Just crazy exceptional.Totin' a couple of different knives that I found this morning in the corner of an over-looked box. A Böker 240 dogleg (a.k.a, double end) pen and an Ulster utility knife with a Philips head driver on the shackle.

What an experience that would be Greg. Thank you sir.Fodderwing , wouldn't you love to be able to walk into Olsen's?! I love that knife and your photography
Lovely lovely sows.Socked in on a rainy day, and then this Black Box Winchester Sowbelly showed up a day early!
A pair of very cool hen's teeth.I have to post mine of course
That's a staggering knife, Dwight,
The pile side is staggering, too, Dwight.
Thanks you so much my friend.Gorgeous Olsen, Dwight! My pair of 510s ran down in the basement and hid when I showed them your picture.
Stuart another wonderful pair my friend!Totin' a couple of different knives that I found this morning in the corner of an over-looked box. A Böker 240 dogleg (a.k.a, double end) pen and an Ulster utility knife with a Philips head driver on the shackle.

Wish I could have been there to help you buddy!Well, that'll do it. I cut down a small white oak in our yard on Tuesday and could have used you and that knife with the branches and wild grapevines.
Pretty pair, Ron.
That's easy for you to say, Ron, with those two in hand.
Is that one on the left a lockback ?
Doesn’t t look like it would carry very well![]()
Beautiful Barlow Paul . TEW does MOP very well IMHO .TEW in MoP...

Beautiful hot sunny day here, 18c which is almost unknown in April. Green shoots surging ahead
So I thought I'd give Mr Ohta a turn at the wheel.

Outstanding pair Harry. I just love the 85 fat spears and that my friend is a real beauty. The MOP TEW is beautiful and Paul's was outstanding. Have a great evening and thanks for sharing those aces.Had this Northfield 85 with me when we went to the YMCA and then coffee this morning . I really like this knife but but seldom carry it .
Then earlier when I saw @Chui posting a TEW in MOP , I went and got my TEW in MOP and stuffed it into my empty pocket .
