Used this shot in a GAW competition
But the Camel Bone 38 is just about visible Plus, it's in the pocket today and it's a fine day out there

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack! The peaches are locally grown. I like to support the local farmers when possible. They’re really sweet and juicy. Nice choices for a hopefully relaxing Sunday my friend!

Good for you Ron, I'm sure they appreciate the support, and thank you for the compliment

We slept in this morning and it felt great! After breakfast I washed, then broke and stringed 3 lbs of White Half Runners getting them ready to cook. Pam was busy sewing on some curtains she was making for the office room. For lunch we cooked stewed russet potatoes and fried up a big pan of fresh okra. Pam made a big ole Peach Cobbler to have for dessert.

Yesterday in our mail delivery I got a package from my friend Jack Jack Black . Jack told me a couple days back that he had sent me a package, but with all the postal issues that seem to be going on, I didn’t know when it would arrive. The package contained a Wright’s Large Lambsfoot in Ebony. Jack had a few of these made up at the factory sometime ago. Jack knows I like the big ‘uns and we had discussed these knives before. There are several folks here that are already the proud owners of these special knives. I know you’re probably already in bed Jack, I’m so late posting this, but I just want to say Thank You pal! Your generosity is without peer! It has been the only knife I carried today!

You're an industrious pair Ron! That food looks delicious, and healthy too Save me a piece of Pam's peach cobbler please I'm glad the knife made it to you my friend

What happened, Jack, did they shorten the blade length you’re legally allowed to carry over there again?! Just kidding, mate. That’s an interesting little knife!

Don't tempt fate mate! It's a Boker Plus/Vox Knives Gnome, I find it pretty useful

Thank you, Jack. Clay is a very kind and generous fellow. I'm honored to be the recipient and caretaker of these knives.

Speaking of kind and generous fellows, our friend Jack is a wonderful example. I won one of those ebony big-uns in a GAW last year. It's a great Lambsfoot knife, possessing the simplicity of the classic design, made to the exacting standards of a Jack Black SFO.

Thanks for the kind words Rachel, I'm glad you're enjoying your ebony Big 'Un

You’re exactly right Rachel! Our friend Jack is an excellent example of a person that is both kind and generous! Yours is looking better and better all the time! I’m looking forward to this Ebony big ‘un a lot! Be well!

Thank you Ron, you're making me blush now!

I usually carry the "Burma Knife" every day along with another (this Otter 3 rivet knife for months now) and I wasn't really thinking about the 75th anniversary of the end of the the war in the Pacific (though the formal Japanese surrender was on 2 September). It was a happy coincidence that I posted on that day. Thanks for the reminder Jack! Now I'm going to watch the WW2 documentary "The World at War" again.

I've certainly admired it before, it's a great example of the pattern It seems a little strange they were celebrating the end of the war before the Japanese surrender! I hope you enjoyed the documentary

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and that you have a gentle start to the week

I'm carrying my Hartshead Barlow again, and this vintage Carl Schlieper Scout. gifted to me by Duncan @Campbellclanman , in Sheffield, at our first meeting, and consequently one I treasure. It's a great knife I think too

Thanks again for the Lambsfoot Jack! It’s going to be in the pocket again today. Last year we didn’t put anything in our freezer except purchased frozen items. This year with the situation as it is we decided to change our approach in that area. We’ve got an 18 cubic foot freezer and it’s going to be full of frozen fresh food. So far we have corn, green beans, okra, squash and peaches. I’m afraid this fall and winter will see more lockdowns including shortages that occurred earlier in the year. We’ve also stocked up on canned food, dried beans, flour, corn meal and we even got two pounds of yeast! I had rather be as self sufficient as possible. That old Scout makes a great companion for your Hartshead. Gives you a very good selection of blades. That Duncan is a super nice guy. Pam and I met him and Paul at the Rendezvous a couple of years back. They are both super likable guys. Have a great day pal!

I’m going to the dentist this morning. I’m going in for a cleaning and check up. I was originally scheduled for March, but that didn’t happen! I’ve got my Case Chestnut Bone CV Peanut and my Jack Black Special Ebony large Lambsfoot today! Y’all stay safe out there!

Jack, the photo of your stag HHB really shows its wonderful "root beer float" colors. And the Scout is a really neat knife. Love the little design carved into the bail.

Well, it's a gloomy morning and more thunder storms on the way. Been like this for several weeks now but at least no hurricanes coming through. Weather man says it's going to be a bad year for them. Normally I would keep my HHB inside during wet weather but I just can't keep it out of my pocket. Out this morning pruning my weeping Japanese red maple tree. More green than red at this time of the year

Good Morning and Happy Monday
I hope the week starts off well for all of you
I'll be Totin' Ol' Flipper Bait today, it's already been on apple duty.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Shaping up to be a fine morning, and so far, I haven’t screwed anything up or made anybody mad, so I’ll try to keep it up.
If course, it’s early!
Have a stress free day!View attachment 1400549Pal Navy Utility Jack, and 194OT...

Provision and grit. Reminders from the 93 and the Case Barlow. Going to be a great week!

 

[black mamba]

Joshua, what handles are on your black #74? I don't remember that offering.

 

[Bloefield]

Yard/garden chores then in the woods with the dog.

An absolute pleasure Ron Good idea, stocking up, my cupboards are always full, but more so than ever now. I wish I had bought a bigger freezer before all this though. Thank you my friend, I'm glad you were able to meet Duncan, such a smashing feller, we have only spent two days together, but they are the sort of days you remember all your life I hope to meet Paul one day too Thanks Ron, you too

You're just not trying hard enough.

Today in the pocket with Case mini trapper in red stag.

 

[JohnDF]

Took a while to decide on a Lambsfoot for today,
figured the ebony needs to be carried and used more.
