One or the other will be in my hand a LOT today.View attachment 1361156I also have my lil Vic hawkbill pruner freshly honed and cleaned in a slip. It gets cleaned with alcohol and kept sanitary for cutting food.View attachment 1361157

I'll never be able to keep up with this thread but permit me to join in.
Today I brought out a modded 72 (was a spear) and a favorite...the Vic Farmer.

Might carry 'em tomorrow (Friday) too. Since one is black and they're both old friends they'll be qualified. Have a great day everyone.

1-XL LAMB Foot

Wonderful photo of that classic Lambsfoot Harvey!!!!

GEC may not be able to get deep red consistently, but they do know how to do Emerald Green.

Your exactly right Travis! I see that Star and raise you a Boot!

Reminds me of the trip my wife and I took to Ireland last year. Blarney Castle

Nice photo Bill!

I'm totin' this one solely for Wooden Wednesday, as there is no "relaxed" way to tote it any other time that you aren't always aware that a blade is at least semi-exposed.

Still, it's fun to take this Ft. Stockton, TX knife to the local hardware store and scare/surprise the young clerks,

I can imagine the look on their faces now buddy!!!

Went out this morning and harvested our first Hybrid Tea roses of the year . One Double Delight and 3 Mr. Lincolns , for @meako to admire too . Both varieties are very Fragrant .

Had the Lambfoot and the Northfield 73 in my pockets .



During the day , while we were splitting some Hasta , Nancy borrowed the Lambfoot and when she was done she put it into her pocket . I finally had to ask for it back . She became a Convert awfully quick .
And of course , the Stag was carried in a slip .
Half/Stop Ron I guess you were right . With a Northfield 73 and a Lambfoot , I do not need any other knife . But I will probably get a few more just in case .

Harry

Stunning Roses my friend! See Harry, what did I tell you!!!

The Radiant is, well, radiant, Ron.

Thanks Stuart!

Yes indeed my friend! Got me jamming early this morning! Ole Johnny was a good one!!!!

Happy Thursday Everybody

Can't not like that Gene Autry knife, John! When I was a kid my grandfather used to take me to the theatre on Saturday afternoon to the matinee to see Roy Rodgers and Gene Autry and all the other old time westerns. Then we'd get home in time to watch live wrestling on the local NBC station!!!

I'm carry a Northfield 73 two blade and a Wright's standard PD Stag Lambsfoot today! Y'all stay safe out there!

That's why I enjoy these cheap knives so much. First, it reminds me of watching the Lone Ranger on TV and Gene Autry at the movies. Also, these cheap knives are what I started buying when I was a kid because it was all I could afford. Great memories... Simpler times.

Stunning Harry Old Engineer ...feed em.
I pruned mine hard back to wood...its already pumping new buds and growth....between us we can get them all year round

I prune all of ours down to about 8 inches tall for every winter and then cover them . Watching for signs of Cane Bore when doing it .

Always nice to see a Lambsfoot out in the field

I did a couple of searches of the thread to find posts that referred to me (either "GT" or "5K Qs") and then read them all and quoted all the relevant ones. That probably took an hour one night before bedtime. The next day I inserted all those quotes into a new post and reordered them so I had all the quotes from each person in a group, and listed alphabetically by username. That probably took another hour including a brief comment from me for each person.

Thanks for your replies, Jack; I want to keep all my fingers at least as much as you want me to, I'd wager!

Very industrious Gary! Definitely hang onto them!

That's Case's chestnut jigged bone. I really like it, but I've been quite surprised by how much it varies from knife to knife. Here's an example from some of the earliest chestnut jigged CV Case knives I obtained:

Excellent group shot my friend, nice to see the comparison

Thanks for the Colonial comment, Jack.
Desirable duo that you posted!

Thank you

Great gunstock, Jack.

Thanks, Jack, and I really like that "economy" knife.

Much appreciated Stuart

Nice try Nancy! Great taste obviously runs in the family Harry

Thank you Jack!!!
Some very nice wooden slicers for you today; your Schlieper is very cool with the "birds-eye" and that slick bail detail!

Thank you JJ, the Schlieper is one of many fine knives kindly gifted to me by Duncan @Campbellclanman

I grabbed a solid Swiss utility tote and my favorite new slicer.

Those Whittler's seem to have struck a chord with a lot of folks here Practical combination my friend

Happy Thursday Everybody

Love it John!

I'm green with envy!

Late posting today, as I went out early. Had my Hartshead Barlow with me today, and a Thrifty Thursday Joker
