Had to show'em I knew how to use an old school weed whacker lol, but it needed sharpening first
Thank you, Stuart!Lovely Lake, Gary, and the Steinglass is quite nice, too. You be stylin'!
And a Happy Texas Independence Day to you, Joshua.
That is actually the top of my large green trash can sitting in the garage.Cool Whittler.
Every time you pose a knife on that thing, I think “hmm maybe some claymores could keep the neighbor’s chickens out of my spinach”.
Never done any tobacco products myself, but heres ya a song to go with your knife
I really enjoy the great old graphic art!Thank you JJ, the artwork is from my vintage sci-fi calendar
Thanks Jack!!!Great start to the week JJ
Hope everyone had a great weekend, and that your week gets off to a good start Really enjoy carrying this pair
Thank you very much, Harvey!!!Fine pair, excellent image, JJ. Exquisite sawcut on the Barlow, as well as the nice color and jigging on the Scout.
Quite a distinguished couple you're toting today; both hitting on all cylinders like a well trained Armored Division!3rd AD Spearhead Coin from @mitch4ging . Thanks Dennis. Brookes & Crookes Sheffield Lamb Foot, along for the ride.
This presses all my buttons.

This is the only bloom around here (although it was warm today).
I really enjoy the great old graphic art!
Thanks Jack!!!
Preeminent pair to begin your week!
I finally got this Joker Pastora. It is actually better than I thought. There are no large gaps anywhere in the handle, some small ones but I can live with those. The steel is mediocre, but was easy to sharpen and the edge had a working sharpness as it came. The handle is real horn (cheaper models have a handle made of ABS). The lock is surprisingly solid, no blade play in any direction, but I will treat this as a light use knife anyway. The action is not as smooth as in higher quality knives but still good enough, no grittiness. Only thing that really matters is that the lever rattles when closed. I wonder if it would be possible to tighten the lever pivot somehow? But this is a small flaw.
I had to write a small story about how I would like to use the knife.

I like those cheerful yellow covers!My humble Classic. So darn useful still after 20+ years of carrying it and new scales too!View attachment 1292423

Sounds like good food and good fun for you guys!I had lunch with Stuart @Duckdog on Thursday. We had a good hot meal at Whitlows on Wilson Ave in Arlington. This is one of the places that Stuart introduced me to last year when we first meet. Our meal yesterday was an Open Faced Turkey Sandwich. It was served on sourdough bread with mashed potatoes and gravy and cranberry sauce. They cook their own turkeys and it was delicious. Stuart and I were looking at three pockets full of fine traditional folders that he was totin for show and tell. The assortment consisted of Black Box Winchester’s and Schrade made Parker-Frost with Bone and Stag Bone handles.

Superb pair with impressive bone, Taylor!
The first lambsfoot on a skateboard I've ever seen!
Thanks, Harvey. (I haven't heard "humdinger" in a long time. )
That's an appealing knife, Bruce; I like the blade combo and that distinctive Böker "finger-groove" jigging!Carried this Boker 280 Whittler yesterday, I’ve owned it for several years but never carried it more than a time or two before.

Terrific trio, Alan!I'll be adding my Douk-Douk to this duo for the dirty work.View attachment 1293139
Looking good, John!My Rosewood Lambsfoot is riding solo today.

I'll have to ask my son, he's the font guy.
Thanks for the encouragement; I need to get more systematic about checking some of the local possibilities.5K Qs good luck in your search - never know what is laying around in a junk store, second-hand store, curio shop, pawn shop, etc. Most of my finds are just that. OH
Phenomenal pair, Steve! I usually prefer your vintage bone knives, but that ebony Churchill is quite a prize!Churchill and an Ulster Jack
...
Thanks for your replies, Jack. I've looked seriously at some Marttiini knives....
I always think it looks like it'd be an excellent whittling knife Gary. Maybe you'll get a Puukko one day Thank you buddy
...
Well, there WERE some big crowds there!

I'm carrying my regular Hartshead Barlow, and an Ulster BSA Scout very kindly gifted to me a few years back by Mr @paulhilborn

Thanks, Dean, it's definitely an attention grabber.A bonny bunch, Gary! Your Case Humpback stockman drew my eye, as usual.

Good to know when the next Leaping Saturday is! Charming commemorative couple; that stag pen knife is glorious!I'm carrying these two for Leap Stagerday, which will not occur again until 2048 so I didn't want to miss this one. I'll be 93 (or not) when the next one comes around!

Thanks for the confirmation, Gary. That chili looks delicious (but I say that about any chili I see ).You got it right, Gary. Great sleuthing on your part! I'd been looking for that Lake for years. When I saw G2 had one I let him know toute suite that I'd be interested if he decided to part with it. I guess I asked first. I'm happy to have it.
The Gary's I know are pretty good fellas!
Chicken eyeing the Lake as I have bowl of White Bean Chicken Chili for lunch earlier. Man was that chili good!...
Thanks for the info.Thanks. No, two different manufacturers.
Congrats on your new great granddaughter, Harry! Auspicious pair of stag knives you carried to meet her!Carrying these today as we went over to see our latest Great Grandchild . Little Girl was born late yesterday .

That's probably good, right?...
Thank you kindly, Gary; the week was more interesting than usual!

What a notable pair, JJ!For Sunday I'm going with these two from Schrade.

Sorry to hear about the botched engraving, Jack.Thanks a lot GT, I can't see the engraving happening though, the last time I had a knife engraved, (for a friend's kid), the engraver made a right mess of it
