So true Pinemoon !! Very funny. And I love that Churchill. The cougar clawed bone is my favorite one by a mile. BTW, what is the story behind your avatar photograph? It is one of the nicest on BF.

I have completed my big sell off. I decided to keep only one example of my fifteen favorite GEC patterns. I made my decisions purely on personal preference, not collectors value or scarcity. I chose to keep this ancient TC as my 14 pattern example. Since I polished the bolsters, it has become one of my favorite all time knives to carry.

(I must admit that I kept a Beer Scout as well. Even though it is a 15 pattern, I consider it to be sui generis. That might be stretching or breaking the rules, but what the heck, they are just my own arbitrary rules!)

Next up is everyone’s favorite weird little stumpy thing and the perfect worry stone, the 25!

Have a nice weekend, everybody!

Unfortunately a sign of the times.
I never would have thought that a trip to Costco could in any way be dangerous.
Wishing you all a safe and peaceful weekend.

This one is tagging along today too. No seashell shield on this one, Alan. Just my old Lloyd with a cheapo Cape Cod souvenir from way back when, that I found on my workbench this morning. By the way, I love that Lloyd of yours!

Today's plan, smoke these ribs and grind up some venison for tomorrow's chile. I'm going to pack on some pounds during this quarantine.

Back to my 93 Micarta for the day ...

Morning all

It’s hard enough to keep up in normal times.
That’s a handsome pocket knife there.

If you can’t break your own rules, whose rules can you break?
You have to be pleased with how polishing the Ancient turned out. Super nice.

SW Junior Cattle and a Utica Jack

Just a fantastic couple. I can see why you carry the Utica so often~it’s great.

Wow!

Lookit that there 97, folks!
As Spencer Tracy said, “that’s cherce”.

Keep your eye out for roadkill and save that canned possum for emergencies.
Last weekend, I smoked some meat for the next couple of weeks, pork, beef, and venison. The venison is on the right. It was a nice roast from a roadkill doe that I butchered in my garage. It put the pork and beef to shame.

Voos barehead jack, and 2018 BF Buck.
View attachment 1310898And an overdue homage to two that serve me daily, as in every day, the only exception being when I swap the peanut for the tiny SW three bladed 108 gifted me by @r8shell.

Looks great! I do have a venison loin in the freezer. Maybe I'll try smoking it next week. Any tips? Just like I'm a rookie knife collector, I'm also a rookie pitmaster.
