An elegant pair of lambsfoots!
Stag is good for Sunday, too!
Thank you, Jack. I hope the Daleks don't get your Lambsfoot! Your Waynorth is very attractive.

Wishing a pleasant and peaceful Sunday to my fellow Guardians. Et bonne fête nationale française!
Beautiful Dave as always. Is the yellow Osage?
Wonderful composition GT. Really crisp grain shot.
Thank you Jack.

Thanks it’s the Case/Bose version probably my favorite knifeWho made your improved trapper? Looks almost identical to my Mike Z one I picked up at blade. Nice.
Still sticking with stainless until the remnants of Barry move on out and take all this rain along.

Thank you GT.Thanks, Dwight; I modified the "exposure" and "color" a bit after taking the pic.
That's a superb French knife!
I always enjoy the prose in your provocative photos Gev. Soft and soothing.Either dream or fade away
Very nice navaja con barlow Vince.Stag is good for Sunday, too:

Incredible stag on that beauty.I had the Boker Camp Knife with me, when I was out-and-about.
Thanks JJ. That's a gorgeous pair you're sporting today!I certainly enjoy a great French knife and you have a beauty Dwight!
That hat is WAY older than I'd have guessed!GT- Thanks for your comments especially about the hat. Bought it in Houston 40 years ago. Sin has left it sad scar.
You got that right, John; thanks!...
A very special knife.
A canoe, Your vacation spot, and Rachel's art. A mighty combination.
Actually, I'm saving my street dancing until I get old enough....
I save my street dancing for winter time. Summer is too hot for that around here.
I'm happy to see you're carrying the canoe Canoe. Let me know how the ink holds up. I've been using 'India ink" since that's what I've read recommended, but I'm experimenting with making my own 'lamp-black' (a good, indoor summertime project)
Thanks, @Fire Beard. I'm something of a canoesseur, and probably have at least a couple of dozen RR canoes. Many of the canoes in this pic are Rough Riders (or closely-related Marbles and Colts):...
Thank you, and your Canoe is also a real beauty! That custom scrimshaw work is really clean and looks fantastic. Been thinking of trying out one of those RR Canoes myself, they look great.
You're telling it like it is, Dean; thanks!Thank you for your extensive answer to my question, Gary. r8shell has a gift for scrimshaw; and you have been the beneficiary of some beautiful examples!
Striking knife, Dean; I don't think I've seen another knife with those covers!
Thanks, Jack....
Very nice GT
...
My pleasure, Rachel. Your rosewood HHB is getting some noticeable patina on both blade and bolster!...
Thank you for the compliment. Gary was kind enough to send me a gift of four white bone Rough Riders from his latest online purchasing, for me to practice on. It was the least I could do to return a customized one to such a Patron of the Arts.
Oh, yeah...What am I toting today?
Thissun:
Thanks, Harvey.
Congrats on the 93! Some folks don't care for the shield placement, but I think it looks great!
Congrats on the Churchill, Jason! The ebony Churchill is IMHO a first-class knife!About a day after receiving this #35 in trade I had my Case Bose recover from Javi Garcia come in so it's been patiently waiting its turn for some pocket time. That time is now. Lowerd the kick on the secondary, flushed the joints and she's ready for work to develop some patina. Love these #35 framed knives!

Incredibly handsome jackknife, Josh!
Splendid sleeveboard with tip bolsters and terrific bone, Nick!
Whoa, dynamite duo! What are the covers of the pen knife?Influenced by JJ Cahill & Travman, knives with bails and lanyards I got out this Camillus for the pocket. Added the stag Fight'n Rooster pen knife to another pocket to complete today's carry combo.View attachment 1160832
Captivating congress jack!For the last week in Alaska...
Vince I declare complete solidarity with everything you've stated here, and I admire both of your stag stunners!Stag is good for Sunday, too:

Goodness, that is an elite Böker!!I had the Boker Camp Knife with me, when I was out-and-about.
...
I hear you, Scott!Thanks GT those red slate rocks grow in my yard and kill lawn mower blades so I figured I'd put them to use.
You gotta get picture-enabled, sir!Ulster #10 Barlow in my Sporan.
9 inch over-all Sgina Dubh in right sock.
Irish National Tartan Kilt.
Why a kilt? Why not? Besides one of the cute CNA's here at the nursing home wanted to see me in it.
What a graceful glamour shot!
Thanks, JJ. That's my first folding hunter, and I'm still trying to adjust to its massiveness! I've been using it in the kitchen this week, and while it feels good using the clip blade, when the clip is closed and I use the skinner blade, it's kind of an uncomfortable grip....
Thanks Gary, I really like the pattern and it's my first "gold" cover Great pair of RR's with wonderful scrimshaw on the canoe and a large framed hunter that's ready for work!
...
That's an unusual pair!
Sounds like you know all the angles, Del!Thanks Gary!
Mostly a case of drywall dry throat (no fun wearing a mask with rubber bands around your ears in 107 plus dry heat). In other words, I brought it on myself!
Yeah, the Saturday morning cartoons are always great. Cheated a bit and tossed in some Rocky & Bullwinkle, then Sylvester & Tweety, topped off with Foghorn Leghorn!
Big Plus -- Mrs. Oro babies me (she gets to pick the restaurant tomorrow night) when I'm feeling bad.
Thanks, José; I thought you might like it because you have some nice scrimshaw!Gary, this knife is terrific with this scrimshaw!
Your 73 is a wonderful knife!Today I carry "THE KNIFE", # 73 of GEC, an extraordinary knife!!!
...
It took me quite a while to figure out what had happened to the handle of your white sod buster! I thought at first that a dog had chewed it up!Before church carry- put in a few hours early roofing the barn while it’s still cool.View attachment 1161169
Thank you, GT. The covers are rams horn. It’s an older one. What a splendid collection of CanoesThat hat is WAY older than I'd have guessed!
You got that right, John; thanks!
Actually, I'm saving my street dancing until I get old enough.
I'm happy to be carrying the canoe! Lamp-black is carbon, not stainless, right?

Thanks, Jack.
Luscious pair of lambsfoots! I get confused by your stag HHB pics, forgetting that you have TWO of them so the covers are not actually changing!
My pleasure, Rachel. Your rosewood HHB is getting some noticeable patina on both blade and bolster!
Thanks, Harvey.
Amazing shot of your Northwoods! What are the actual cover materials? It looks like crusty bread fresh from the oven!
Congrats on the 93! Some folks don't care for the shield placement, but I think it looks great!

I'm sure there are plenty of "cute" Porchsters who want to see you in your Irish finery, too!

I'd forgotten about Foghorn Leghorn! "That's a joke, son!" "Look at me when I'm talkin' to you, boy!" What a blowhard rooster he was.
Thanks, José; I thought you might like it because you have some nice scrimshaw!
Your 73 is a wonderful knife!

Pure carbon like black snow!Actually, I'm saving my street dancing until I get old enough.
I'm happy to be carrying the canoe! Lamp-black is carbon, not stainless, right?
I always enjoy watching patina develop, and I'm fascinated to see what the bolster will look like. They are of the same steel as the blade, but differently heat treated. Will that effect patina formation?My pleasure, Rachel. Your rosewood HHB is getting some noticeable patina on both blade and bolster!
Will the HHB help clean fish? Have a great time!
Wowwee wow wow! You ain't kidding about "all the trimmings"!Through Jack Black and many others, I’ve caught Vintage Sheffield Cutlery-itus.
Ibberson/Stan Shaw 1959 Stockman with all the trimmings.
