@Knives&Lint - That’s a good looking Case Barlow. Great color.

D Duckdog - Much thanks, Stuart. A great set of “yellers.” Your Monroe Hardware knife has a great vintage look to it.

Prester John - Your Laguiole is looking mighty nice, Vince.

Jack Black - Much thanks, Jack.

5K Qs - Your Imperial Sowbelly is an elegant, stylish charmer.

@sunknife - Thank you kindly for the nice words.

Great image of your gorgeous Cattaraugus.

1-XL Lamb

Thank you Harvey!!! Always a treat to see your triple rattail bolstered IXL lamb, very classy old cigar box too!

 

[Duckdog]

I love Throwback Thursday! D Duckdog
I am also enjoying all of the great Case knives everyone is totin’.

Thanks, LT, and I agree with your case congratulations. Indeed, that's a very captivating canoe that you were totin' today.

Thanks Stuart! I couldn’t figure any reason why I wooden!

Touché, my friend.

Premium Canoe of the Week is a Colt stag canoe:

Dat's nice right there, GT.

I was hoping so. I've carried a Leatherman every day since I was in 9th grade way back in '03 (ish) working the dairy farm. I'm 31 now and have broken more of them than I care to think of. I was so impressed with the sak we got our son for Christmas I thought I'd try one myself. We keep 2 trucks our chipper and stump grinder running with little more than that and a handful of wrenches.

Just my 2 cents: the SAKS are very handy and sturdy; I have an Electrician, a Spartan, and a Tinker that I tote all the time. However, those are not up to the working level of the heavier built (and heavier) multi-tools by Leatherman, e.g., the Wave, or Gerber, et al. Get a good SAK, they are great, but for working on heavy machinery - ? ? ?

Thanks Stuart, much appreciated! Two absolute beauties you have there

Thanks, Tom, and that's a bodacious Bark River drop point you were totin'.

Stuart, I won’t watch it in front of my girls, don’t want to see them tear up

I won't watch it by myself, I still haven't gotten over Where the Red Fern Grows. For goodness sakes I cried at the end of the latest Toy Story, I do still have a tough guy reputation to uphold in front of my 6 year old at least... My daughter isn't quite 2 so she won't remember dad being a big baby just yet.

Maybe we should get some kleenex and watch it together with some comforting beverages. Ironically, several years after that movie came out, my grandmother yelled to me to "get your Papa's shotgun and come here." I grabbed my grandfather's Stevens 12 gauge from the bedroom closet where he kept it, grabbed 2 shells, and followed her out the back screen door to the small backyard. There was a stumbling, yowling feral cat crossing their yard to the neighbors' where kids had been playing minutes earlier. She said," Shoot it," and I did. I cried in the movie and in that yard.

I've never actually seen old yelled and don't care to, but where the red fern grows really got me.
It made me happy my best friend was right there laying across my lap as I watched it.
Gave her a couple of milk bones once the movie was over.
Far from home is another good , happens to end on a more positive note if I remember correctly though.

That's why I figured I'd try a dedicated pair of pliers. The screwdrivers don't get used much other than working on saws. It was also cheaper to buy those 5 inch pliers and a Swiss army knife than replacing my multi tool.

Sounds good. I've had a couple of cats from the farm down the road show up here after getting whacked in the road. I'm not fond of unnecessarily ending an animals life but sometimes it's got to be done.

I've never seen either movie, and haven't read Old Yeller, I read Where the Red Fern Grows when I was about 11, haven't done it again, and knowing how Old Yeller ends is plenty enough for this guy.

Two classics JJ

Hope everyone has had a good week Carrying my Hartshead Barlow, and Charlie's big Black Jack today

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today with the French "Farol".

 

[AnW]

Casual Fridays and this Natural Canvas Micarta Ramsfoot just seem to go together.

 

[5K Qs]

I had a bunch of quotes selected earlier this week, but an unexpected computer update/restart in the middle of the night wiped them all out by Wednesday morning when I tried to reply to them.
Now I'm almost a week behind and catching up half-heartedly at best.

...
5K Qs Love your Marbles Ram’s Horn Sowbelly Stockman, GT.
...

Beautiful covers on both of your totes, Gary; the Ironwood on your "Valley Jack" is sublime!
...

Thought I would go with some stag on Sunday.

Eye-catching 5-blade, JJ! I really like those Bulldog tang stamps!

...

First-rate Sunday pair, Jack! One of my favorite shots of your stag HHB!

Happy Sunday All

Laudable lockback, John!

Unfortunately, I'm home with Bronchitis (had a cold for two weeks before this diagnosis) and was unable to attend church this morning. But these two knives are my 'carry' today.

I hope you're breathing much easier by now, Dean.

New to me #78

Congrats on the handsome 78, Steve!

These today
...

Harry

Superb, memorable pair of lambsfoots, Harry!

@Coreman in that highly unlikely event, you are first in line .

Same two, different photo. I am smitten with this scout.

Congrats again on that positively pulchritudinous pair, Tom!!

Me and my dog Jack both love these. He snorts and licks it and responds to the whistle.

I should get one of those for our dogs!

What a prize that knife is!

A piece of my grandson’s first Birthday Cake. With 6 grandchildren, that’s a lot of cake.

I decided that this bone hafted Otter was too nice to collect. Gary, Gary W. Graley repaired the tip, sharpened, and administered some spa tx, wonderfully. He kindly broke from normally not making pocket sheaths and made this superb one. Thank you Gary.
View attachment 1273016

Nice juxtaposition of that solid, sober rosewood HHB with the colorful birthday cake and plate, Harvey!
That Otter and sheath are looking impressive; excellent work, as usual, by G2!

Today with A. Wright Lambsfoot in Ebony.
...

Your ebony Guardians lambsfoot is a black beauty, José!

Hi Ho... Hi Ho... Off to work we go.

That lambsfoot should help you whistle while you work, John!

Big Jack and Redwings today!
Have a great start to the week...View attachment 1273083

Serious knife and boots, Jeff! Are you fully recovered from both of your recent surgical adventures?

Can't beat stag for breakfast, FBC!!

In anticipation of some more unicorn ivory headed my way:

Really like this photo!! (Not sure I can articulate why, though. )

Thanks Gary, that Otter convinced me to try one of theirs and I picked this one up.

Anyone know what kind of horse is on that coin in the center?

Thanks a lot GT, I share your pain regarding the updates my friend
