Just a small (for me) micarta by T.A. Davison. It was one of his first 15 or 20 knives. View attachment 1239278
Live the color on it John. Happy Thanksgiving!Long pull sawcut soup on a cold day is very tasty! Stay sharp and warm!

Camillus Navy and a OT'er

That Navy knife is notoriously nice, Steve!A Remington and an old PAL today
...
Congrats on the commendable custom, Tom!...
Not totin’ this one yet, but hopefully will be soon. It is a progress picture of a custom I am waiting on by Evan Miller.
...
That toothpick is top banana!
Looks like Linus is developing a personal relationship with each of your other lambs foots, Ron!
Quality quintet, FBC; each one individually is a winner, and together they make a tasty lambs-between-stockmans sandwich!From the lasts week 'r two.
...
Good dog!
Praiseworthy pair, JJ!!For today my totes are a toothpick and a sowbelly; an Imperial from 1945-55 and a Winchester BB from the 90s.
...
I hope you enjoy your Imperial stockman, Jack....
I picked up one of those Imperials the other week Gary, inspired by your showing your Canoe. Mine is the Stockman, not quite as nice as your Sowbelly, which wasn't an option

Morning folks, miserable weather here again I'm afraid, so I'm going to hide out in the cinema and watch The Irishman. Just hope I'm not going to fall asleep watching a 3 hour film about house paintingTaking my Ashley's Choice SFO for company (and my girlfriend!
)
...
Simply stunning with that single spear and the sable/silver sides!Going simple today with a GEC #15 in Ebony...
...
Handsome handles, both bone and wood!View attachment 1237556 I felt like these two today. Have a great weekend, folks.View attachment 1237557
Lots of lovely leafy lobes, Gev!!
Harvey, the jigged bone WCLF has become a grail knife for me since they first appeared, and now you've convince me that I have a new "grail donut" too!
Admirable mini trapper, Dean!
Best wishes for a successful procedure and a fast rehab, Jeff....
Thank you~ a little minuscus repair...Doc says it could be age related, but I think it’s due to being a hard working man of action. Yeah! That’s it.
...
Congrats, Frank!A new-to-me US Schrade Uncle Henry UH897 . Bought it on the cheap because there was some rust on the blades and springs. (Yuppers, "stainless" does rust." A little 400 grit sandpaper and some WD40 followed by mineral oil took care of the rust. To my eye, the factory edge was still on the blades when I got it. It isn't now.
...
Ooo-La-La, Vince; quite a savoir pair!For Sunday:
...
Thanks for the informative nature lore, Jeff....
Hey did you know that squirrels are more likely to plant nuts and acorns in cleared or mowed areas than in high grass or unmowed meadows? That’s because field mice and meadow voles don’t live in cleared or mowed areas~no cover from predators. They live in high grass and unmowed areas, so squirrels know they will find and steal the nuts the squirrels have buried for winter eating.
Stunning duo, Jack!...
Afternoon folks, late getting started here, thanks to a lengthy Windows 10 updateHope everyone is having a great weekend, and that you have a wonderful Sunday

Nice to see Man Jack again. It's looking rather stately.
Thanks, John.Expect to see a lot of my Hartshead this week...
Personally, I don't think I'd need much arm-twisting to carry that amber stag!
Thanks, Harvey.
I'd have never spotted the nut-cracker on that knife if you hadn't alerted me, Jack; very cool!...
That's fascinating Gary, I have heard folks refer to cob nuts before, but not filberts, what a nice nameSeveral old patterns have a nutcracker for hazelnuts

That's some good-looking stag my friend

Thanks again my friend, that #72 is a peach![]()

Mais, oui, certainement, mon ami!
Lovely Laguiole, Harvey!
Love that 72 micarta lock back @ 5K Qs.
Saturday & Sunday carries both included 29 stockyard whittlers. 1st paired with a S&M rosewood jack and for today paired with a Klaas large pen in some kinda black wood.View attachment 1238400View attachment 1238401
Thanks, sunknife & John.Very nice #72, GT.
I hope GEC does a run of them soon. It's a pattern that I really want.
That Case EO copperhead is irresistible, Steve!!These two today

Thanks, Dean.Thank you, Gary. Your stag knives are gorgeous!How big is that Big Joker?
Thank you for your kind comments, GT. That a very nice looking Mini Copperlock with some deep red bone.![]()
Thanks, Stuart.Thanks for all of the kind words, GT. I like the look of that Blue Grass Barlow; I don't think that I've seen it before.

Thanks for the info, Jeff.I did, Gary. I wanted to remove the fat flares on the sides. I also had to reshape the blade due to an unfortunate tip down drop onto concrete years ago. I bought that in the late ‘70s for backpacking a section of the Appachian Trail. Opinels were sort of the backpacker’s must-have due to their light weight.
Nice whittler, Jeff!View attachment 1238478 Please forgive me for more shots of one of today’s totes! After sitting down having finished my musical contribution to today’s service (7 songs~1 hour plus), I spent the next hour stealthily fondling my Case split back whittler. I had looked long and often for one of these, always passing due to the prices. I think I was able to afford this one because it was covered by rust. Luckily, under the ugly were full, unsharpened blades. Something about this pattern, maybe it’s the solid fatness, and the thicker bone, makes it perfect.View attachment 1238479View attachment 1238480
I really like my RR Ram's horn canoe, José, but you should be aware that it's actually ram's horn BONE, bone dyed and jigged to look like ram's horn. Marbles makes a canoe with real ram's horn covers that I like a little more than the RR version.Thanks Gary, I really like stag, but for the canoe maybe start with Rough Rider Ram's Horn.![]()
Thank you, GT.Simply stunning with that single spear and the sable/silver sides!![]()
I'm liking it a lot.How are you liking the one lambsfoot per week approach?
I hope you enjoy your Imperial stockman, Jack.I have a sowbelly, a big and a small canoe, and a sodbuster pattern from Taylor-Imperial, and they were all so inexpensive that I keep waiting for them to disintegrate.
But nothing of the sort so far.
The AC is such an attractive knife that I hope your girlfriend doesn't feel "threatened" by its presence.![]()
Stunning duo, Jack!
...
I'd have never spotted the nut-cracker on that knife if you hadn't alerted me, Jack; very cool!I wonder if I know the hazelnuts as filberts (apparently a common name in Europe) because I basically grew up in a Dutch immigrant community as a second generation American?
Thanks for the positive reviews of the knives I posted.![]()
A sunny day in Syracuse! We rejoice!
