A week of great weather turned to some light rain today. Spent 6 hours reorganizing a portion of my extended garage yesterday, so today is probably going to be a bit more lazy.

Fantastic knife!!!
Love the #15's, the red bone, the clip/pen combo, steel construction, everything.

VERY cool knife. I was going to comment that it looks like it would be a perfect knife for the bird/trout family... then noticed the three notches in the blade. Does that mean it is a "fish knife"? I've heard that three notches in a handle indicates that, just didn't know if the notches in the blade was the same indicator.

Thank you very much, but I believe it is a hunter's knife, despite the three notches.

More tools than I’ll need for a lazy Saturday but what the hey. I like ‘em.

A pretty old Cub Scout knife sent to me by @Ed T as a project, along with another camp knife folder. I didn't take before photos...duh...but the blade had a funky short clip point style blade grind and quite thick edged due to being sharpened back into the mid part of the blade, so I file/sanded down and made it into a sheepsfoot style blade and just cleaned up the bolsters some and gave it a good washing. I had visions of tearing both folders down into pieces...but back in my mind a small voice said 'sure go ahead and you will end up with a box of pieces and no knife ' so for once, I heeded that voice as that is probably what would happen!

and now the blade really cuts well, there is also a screwdriver/cap lifter and an awl, both of those have a liner lock that keeps them safe during use.

Thanks Ed for the small project!

I'm very happy that you are finding that little knife useful.

I've got this old Catt Whittler in my watch pocket, but I'll grab something bigger if any outdoor activities come up.

The funky trellis is starting to fill with pea shoots.

Wow! My peas are still waiting for the soil to warm up before they pop their heads up.
The little 808 makes me smile, my friend!

Any idea how old your lovely Catt is?

 

[Half/Stop]

G'day folks I'm way behind, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to catch up later. Wishing everyone a safe and happy weekend

Terrific choices Jack! Feel better soon my friend!

Darkly delicious Ron!

Thanks buddy!

Nice Alox Pioneer! Happy Birthday!

 

[Half/Stop]

It’s been busy so far today. I started with my Wright’s PD Stag big ’un and I’ve added my Jack Black Sambar Hartshead Barlow SFO. Y’all stay safe out there!

 

[Duckdog]

Those two Case beauties really have some great character; fantastic!

Thanks, JJ.

I like that one, Jack. Clean and simple.

Stockman of the Week:

There's a lot going on with that stockman, GT. Intriguing.

Congrats on the birth, Gramps!
I hope your therapy drives off the sciatica symptoms ASAP.
I appreciated your John Prine tribute and the link to a touching song I hadn't heard before.

Thanks for the congrats and the condolences, GT. Yes, John Prine had a great way with words. From that song, something we can heed today:
"For pity's a crime
And it ain't worth a dime
To someone who's really in need
Just treat 'em the same
As you would your own name
Next time that your heart starts to bleed."

My contributions for this Wednesday are Rosewood, African Blackwood and Cocobolo!

Nice triple play, Ron.

What a venerable skinny pair, Stuart!

Amazing aggregation of "anorexic" knives, Stuart!

Miscellaneous knife for me this week is a Case sawcut 2-blade Barlow:

Thanks, again, GT and there is nothing "miscellaneous" about that Barlow. It is singular!

Ebony #74 and an Imperial Cattle knife today.

The Imperial is impressive, Steve.

A bodacious Barlow beauty, Jim. It reminds me a bit of the old Catt Barlow that @Gevonovich
previously posted.

Elegant stockman, Dean. That clip!!

A very handsome Texas jack. The covers "smell" like Robeson strawberry to me.

It looks a lot happier with you and Miss Pam, pal. It's certainly being posted with better looking company.

Quality woodsy trio Stuart

Thank you, Jack. You were totin' a fine looking fixed blade, one looking fully functional.

Any idea how old your lovely Catt is?

We have the opposite problem down here. I planted end of February (after last frost) and am hoping it doesn't get too hot before they produce.

I believe the Cattaraugus dates to between 1886 and 1963. I'm afraid I haven't narrowed it down any more than that.
