Thanks, JJ!
It was a great year for my garden~other than the beets, kale, and winter squashes, the beds are all cleaned out and getting manured for next year.
These little punkins are volunteers that always come up from the seeds in the compost. Whenever I plant a hybrid variety of squash, you never know what their seeds will produce. Open pollinated varieties will come back true year after year. This year I have acorn, butternut, and spaghetti squash, but did not plant any ~ all volunteers.

Too many knives? Nope

And I thought I was carrying too much knife
At least for me the 102 woodsman is actually the largest of the 3

Two very different Finnish knives. I doupt if anyone notices, but I modded the Bobtail a bit. I rounded the butt of the handle to make it more comfortable and moved the guard forward as much as I could.

The Ahti "Korpi" (Backwoods, actually korpi is a form of wooded swamp) is a new one. I bought it to have a small puukko, around 80 mm blade, with a higher grind than what the Brisa makes. I like Brisa's knives, but the low scandi grind in my opinion limits their uses to rough bushcraft uses, working with firewood etc. They are not at their best as allround knives. I still have to try their flat grind knives in real use, the Trapper I have is a very good slicer, but I have yet to use it with firewood. Maybe I will convex the edge on the Trapper?

The Ahti seems to deliver very affordable, good tools with some design features that you have to try to see if you like them. The blade is made by a small company that makes blades to several cutleries. They have a good reputation. The medium high scandi grind seems to be a good compromise. I still have to make up my opinion of the fat handles Ahti makes. I might slim it a bit with sandpaper, then oil and wax it. Also I'm contemplating about shortening the handle a bit.

The alpine green xx18 just arrived. Maybe two alpine greens at once is a bit much.

In time, I may carry the new one when I'm not carrying the russlock, and pair the burgundy one with the russlock.

It’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

The little Buck Woodsman is such a great knife, no?

My two Tuesday totes are a trapper and a toothpick, both in Acrylic; a GEC black gold covered 53 and a BB Winchester covered in gaudy Goldstone reminiscent of the "roaring twenties"

Thank you JJ. Love the acrylic covers and details of each knife.

@Jack Black - Your HH Barlow guiding the Lambs is very nice.

 

[cigarrodog]

A Pair of Cream Puffs...

 

[Duckdog]

The right tools in the right hands for the right job; outstanding work on you duck blind Stuart!

That’s getting it done - looks like a nice blind setup. OH

Thanks, guys. Luckily, my son and friend of his are slowly taking over the care and feeding of the blind, so my buddies and I can start to take it easy. The creek is a tributary to the Potomac River and subject to tides:

My ol'' Tuff, above, is now huntin' em up in Heaven. Here's a requisite knife pic (from last season):

My totes for the start of the week are a couple large Schatt & Morgan slicers; a large gunstock stock knife and a big daddy Barlow.

Another mother lode from your seemingly bottom-less treasure trove, JJ. Lovely!

And the same knife with a little sunshine on those covers.

Yep, that's about right.

Very nice, Alan. New?

We’re at 38. I think she wanted to make a trade in for a model with less miles, but the thought of all that training changed her mind.

That made my day! Miss Norma and I just hit 40 in June and I gotta use this quote soon.

Give me a T for Texas....Jack, give me a T for Tennessee It’s seems like there should be a song in there somewhere! Y’all have a great day!

That lovely Case suits you to a tittle, Ron, as they used to say. BTW, when I was in high school the Vols actually recruited me for football - that's how desperate they were back then (when we played with wooden footballs).

Thanks Stuart! Case was my first love (talking knives of course) and I still have a soft spot for them. When they were using wooden footballs would have probably been when General Neyland was coaching. In those days football would definitely separate the men from the boys. Not saying that these young men playing today are not tough! But we can all agree there are different levels of toughness! I need to give you a call today and it won’t be long distance!

Today I’m carrying my Waynorth Jigged Bone Lambsfoot.

 

[joeradza]

D Duckdog Thanks Stuart. No. I’ve had it less than a year. A gift. Never could find one like it myself.

As I have been learning since getting mine yes it it.

 

[Wurrwulf]

Another day of beautiful carries, folks. I've got my BF301 (Thanks, Alan!) and my Peanut today.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Arrived from England (perhaps made in Sheffield) straight into my pocket this beautiful knife single-blade, unbranded, the blade looks like it's been shortened, but with a truly fabulous antique sambar stag.

 

[Beard&Owl]

Sodbuster today

 

[The Shatz]

Good looking sod buster really like the shape and beefed up pivot

 

[Headwinds]

Thanks a lot! I was already planning to drop by a certain dealer in the mountains tomorrow, and the last thing I need is another reminder of how pretty that green Peanut is. Seriously, that is a really nice looking pair of knives!

 

[Old Engineer]

Glad I found this!! Today I was taking pictures of my newly purchased 77 barlow to sell, thinking it’s intended to be a safe queen, something I’m not a fan of. Here I see people carrying their TC barlows, so on that note I decided to keep and carry the 77. Oh and today I carried a GEC 44 stag and a Case mini sodbuster

Good decision my friend .
