Good looking old barlow.... glad to see I'm not the only one that likes the old ones.. all of mine take remarkable edges... well, except for the one I tore apart last evening as a project knife.

A day that ends in a "Y" is all the excuse you need. Beauties.

Here's my first Schrade, a serpentine jack I just got my hands on. I'm impressed with the build.

Carlos is hungry!

That knife was already one of my most heavily used, but yes, the patina increased. I should think about canning some salsa too. I just put up two quarts of green and wax spicy dilly beans by lactose-fermentation. I’ll be interested to see how they turn out. I’ve been making my own sauerkraut successfully.

Sounds adventurous. Do you still need to process them with the pressure cooker, or does the fermentation take care of that?

There are lots of ways to make salsa~ if we’d made it up to Michigan, I would have made a batch of peach salsa.
Then there’s the End Of The Season Salsa in which you try to use up whatever’s left in the garden.

A day that ends in a "Y" is all the excuse you need. Beauties.

Thanks, my friend! Your recent finds are stellar.

Why did the wild turkey cross the road?

Looks like an extremely handy pair of knives.

Thanks friend, they certainly are
I don't do as much 'bushcrafting' these days, so my Scandi knives just sit around looking pretty while my pocket knives do all the work

My goodness. After two more weeks of camping out in nature, I'm finally back to civilization for awhile. My daughter and I had a grand old time bikepacking, canoeing, camping, and generally wreaking havoc throughout the Adirondack Mountains. It's amazing to think that as a father, it's even possible to have a best friend in my own teenage daughter. But there it is. We're inseparable these days, so much trust having been built up through our experiences together.

The Swisstank was a constant companion, in fact the only knife I carried, throughout the entire trip. The Victorinox SwissChamp truly is a marriage of extraordinary design and perfect execution. This knife has accumulated so many wonderful memories in such a short period of time, that I can't imagine carrying anything else in its place.

Here are a few more pics from the trip:

A shorter narrower secondary is nice.

@JJ Cahill - Thank you JJ. Now I have to start looking at Robesons. Those two are so nice.

Buzzbait - A great capture of moments in time.

You two are living right. Love the pictures.

Thanks, my friend! Your recent finds are stellar.

Thank you, sir. Other than the month's worth of sharpening staring me in the face, it's been a lot of fun!

Buzzbait that's awesome. Something special about memories that revolve around kids, bikes, and woods. Congratulations.

Thanks for the compliments, Dean. Apparently my photo of the Case blue mini copperhead is responsible for at least one sale!

Very distinctive TC, Dean!


Interesting comparison shot. I'd never thought about that new GEC #29 being a Churchill with punch.


Love that baseball SAK, Vince! Does Verlander pitch a no-hitter every time you carry it??






A pretty pair of Case stag models, José!


Cool old knife!


Really like the handle texture on both of those, JJ!


Perfectly, pleasingly pastoral, Jack!


Ice is nice, Dave!


Your Case couple definitely looks capable, Jeff!


Thanks, Ron.
And I'm SO thankful your hospital vigil, unlike too many others, had a happy ending!


Thanks, Rachel.


What's that saying? "The devil is in the small print."


Thanks for the support, Harvey.
I can't figure out the set-up, but the blade reflection makes for a fascinating image!!




Greg, Chris, and David, what a bone bonanza you gentlemen have posted!!!


Thanks, José; variety is supposed to be the "spice of life", right?

After adding knives that arrived since I last put together a rotation schedule, I now have a new schedule (including one new category) that should last me 52 weeks! Here are some of the carries prescribed for the first week with the new schedule.
Alox of the Week:

Thank you x2, Gary!

White cross red Pioneer (grail knife) with that well used look. Case Sowbelly with a future of more photos. I assume that a Sowbelly of the Week means you'll carry one every week over the next 52 weeks, correct?

Looks like you had a great time, Buzz! Your "Swisstank" homage and photos have encouraged me to carry mine once in awhile.

Buzzbait - Great story!! Enjoy every minute as the time passes quickly. I had similar adventures with my son. He’s now 26 and our adventures have evolved as his life becomes more complicated with the responsibilities of adulthood and mine becomes less so with semi-retirement! Nevertheless, our time together is cherished!! I’m sure that you will have similar experiences as your daughter grows. BTW - I love the SwissChamp.
