[Jack Black]

Happy birthday to her! It looks like we share a birthday!

Happy Birthday Taylor!

 

[Murphjd25]

Only got this one today.

I have that same knife, the main blade is a bit lazy on mine , how is yours ?

It's strong and snappy. The pen blade needs concentration or it's rough on the thumbnail.

LOL! That sounds tick-like Jer I noticed something had bitten me just above the sock, keeping an eye on it

Yeah, I'm afraid so. Those flies I'm thinking of had visible wings, as I recall. Of course my eyes were sharper earlier. The flies weren't that hard to rub off, either.
Doc says look out for the circular rash, and for muscle and joint pain, fever, and I think headaches. I'll try to boost my immune system by visualizing beaked llamas surging through my fluids.

 

[Half/Stop]

Nicely combined

Thanks Jack!

Big Knife of the Week is an amber bone SS Case Sodbuster Jr (not very big, but I classify my SBJrs that way so I get to carry them more often ):

Great pics, Barrett! And a Happy Birthday to Eleanor! (My granddaughter Eleanor was over this morning, but no knife pics. )

BEST POST OF THE DAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELANOR, from Paul, Nancy, Mocha and Hank Your a very special girl

A very Happy Birthday to Eleanor Barrett Great pics, she is really growing up Congratulations to all the family

Absolutely priceless photos Barrett! Such a beautiful young lady! We’ve got a saying around here, “Growing like a weed!” I think it’s quite fitting here!

They grow up too fast.
Tell her Happy Birthday from The Porch.

btb01 What a beautiful little,girl! Your a lucky man and a great Dad. My daughter grew up way too fast.
Very nice 71 as well.

Happy Birthday Eleanor! It is great to see her grow up, Barrett. She's probably had her knife longer than some of us carry one! Thanks for your annual photo essay.

Thanks guys!

Good morning! I’ve got my Wright’s Pere David Stag big ‘un and a Thrifty Thursday MAM locking drop point! Y’all be careful out there!

Good looking couple of knives, Ron. I’ve been curious about those MAM knives for a while, the blades look nice and thin like an Opinel. I think I may order one today.

I remember it now, it's a good pattern I think I have this one, thanks to some friends who visited Paris, and the good advice of @Jolipapa

That’s a good looking French knife, Jack!

Great pictures! Is it my imagination, or is that knife getting smaller every year?

It does seem to be shrinking, doesn’t it? In her first photo it looks like it could be a #21 Bull Buster!

Happy birthday to her! It looks like we share a birthday!

Happy belated birthday, Taylor!

Good looking couple of knives, Ron. I’ve been curious about those MAM knives for a while, the blades look nice and thin like an Opinel. I think I may order one today.

Thanks Barrett! The blade thickness on the MAM is listed as .070”. Very thin!

 

[Prester John]

No, I did not specify anything about it.

I may have asked him not to put a nail nick on mine. I love the polished stag.

I’ve scrolled back for several long looks. What a nice pair of knives!

Very nice.
Harry let me examine his Orchard Gem a couple of years ago. And I’ve casually looked online at them ever since. There is a mint Schrade Cut Co farmer’s jack listed on a certain unspecified auction site with a buy-it-now price of well over a grand.

I confess I’d be afraid to use one of those in the role for which they were designed, at first. Then, I would work the heck out of it, come home and clean, oil, and hone it, and do it again tomorrow.
At our little organic farm, I am tending to a couple hundred tomato plants, each of which gets pruned (suckers, which want to form another main leader, and lower leaf branches) and trained onto vertical lines at least twice a week. Tomatoes put out a sticky protective substance that leaves my fingertips and knife blade coated. And it’s hard to get off. I use this, which is almost identical in function to yours albeit a tiny bit less valuable.View attachment 1383130BUT! Being the heathen that I am, I would not hesitate to use that in my day to day.
Hope you have a great day, Paul!

Thanks Jeff, and I know exactly the Schrade Cut Co you speak of. If I'd part with that kind of money I'd use it everyday for the rest of my life

Well said. Let's all keep breathing and hoping.

For Thrifty Thursday.

Thanks so much Rachel. Love the Okapi. You have such a unique, individual, and beautiful collection of knives. So cool!

Thursday Tribal .

That smooth chestnut bone is easy on the eyes. Great choice!

“Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship”

Goodness gracious what a beautiful and moody photo. I’m imagining that Gandalf took that photo with his magical powers.

Have a good one, folks!
Halfrich in the pocket today.

That knife is so cool I can’t stand it. Great blade shape, great jigging, perfect shield choice.

Buck ebony and brass 110 on the belt today.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Classy choice my friend

Thanks a lot, Jack!!! I did forget to be thrifty today, though...

Morning folks, carrying my Hartshead Barlow today, and an Okapi Biltong Knife kindly gifted to me by @r8shell

Great image of your Hartshead, looks awesome; very cool South African sheep foot with a very unique and attractive locking mechanism!

Wow Gev, you really captured the amazing covers on those two handsome elders!

 

[Gevonovich]

Goodness gracious what a beautiful and moody photo. I’m imagining that Gandalf took that photo with his magical powers.

Thanks for the smile And I too lust after Gary's Halfrich !!

Thank you - feels pretty good in the hand as well IMHO.

Thought I'd add this sharpened crowbar to a Robeson jack to help transplant a thorny Cycad.

Today was July 22nd, which means I was carrying Eleanor’s Nifebrite #71 Bull Nose.

I had this knife with me when she was born four years ago (she was very punctual, and showed up right on her due date).

Now I carry it on her birthday every year (and any other day Eleanor has something special going on).

I’ve also made it a tradition to take a photo of Eleanor holding her knife on her birthday, which I enjoy getting to share with y’all. Here she is on her first birthday:

And her second (which was her least cooperative birthday when it came to having her photo taken with her knife ):

This was on her third birthday last year:

And here she is holding her knife today:

This year’s birthday was a pretty low key affair with everything going on, but we still had a great day.

Happy Birthday Eleanor!! I love this post. As a father, our greatest joy is watching our children grow up and prosper. Before you know it, you’ll be walking her down the aisle. That’s a tough walk for a dad. At my daughter’s wedding several years ago, we danced to a song by the 10,000 Maniacs (my hometown band) called ‘How You’ve Grown.’ The most poignant line is ‘no little girl can stop the world to wait for me ...’. The message ... enjoy them while you have them, they don’t stay little forever!!

If you look close you can see my Queen made Ontario demo knife peeking out, and a little farther back on my belt almost out of frame in my GEC sheath is the ever present stag 44

what kind of sheath is that hang’n from the belt?

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

what kind of sheath is that hang’n from the belt?

It's a pliers sheath I got from Tractor Supply, I cut down the throat and wet molded it to my Bullbuster. I applied a couple coats of kiwi brown shoe polish to finish it off
Originally looked like this, you can Google clc 767 plier sheath and it'll pop up,usually run about 5 bucks online, was bit over 6 bucks buying at Tractor Supply.
