Staying home today, working at my desk (waiting on my eyes to "normalize" after having a cataract removed yesterday). Think I will join the bareheaded jackknife crowd today with this L.F.&C. OH
That L.F.&C. looks great, Bruce!
Hope your new artificial lens works out well and fast for you; do you need to get the other one done soon?
A classic canoe, and I like the book it's sitting on.
...
That's a cutie.
...
Thanks, John, those are a couple of my favorite Case knives.
Vintage Case Texas Jack
...
Your Texas Jack is almost perfect, John (except I'm not a fan of square bolsters)!
I’m carrying two today that rarely see pocket time! Both are fine knives in their own right. I’ve got a Thrifty Thursday Frost Whittler from the early years made in Japan. I’ve also got a Rosewood Lambsfoot SFO that was made in Sheffield for a UK dealer. I’m about 99.99% sure the Lambsfoot was made by Wright’s. Y’all stay safe out there!
...
Intriguing pair, Ron!
Looks like maybe the book title Yoda wrote.
If the title were intended as a complete sentence informing us of something we're in need of, I think you'd be right, Vince. But I think it's actually intended to be a sentence fragment describing the type of arithmetic in the book; not all of arithmetic is in there, only arithmetic that's necessary. A book titled
Arithmetic probably has delusions of grandeur and promises more than it can deliver, but
Arithmetic We Need seems a more modest, and accurate, title.
Great-looking German canoe!
Good looking knives, Gary; I especially like the Case redbone Canoe.
Another good group, Gary.
Thanks, Dean.
You're obviously a Case guy!
I carried this Case Bonestag wharncliffe teardrop on my hike today.
View attachment 1416210
That bonestag 2-blade teardrop is a winner, Dean!
...
Classy-looking Congress Gary, along with one of my favourite RR patterns, and a very nice Whittler
Terrific trio
...
Hope everyone is having a good day. I've been carrying my Hartshead Barlow, and an all-stainless TEW Penknife
...
Thanks for the good words, Jack, and for inspiring me to get that Silver Select sowbelly.
Admirable pair you've posted!!
Terrific trio with impressive variety, José!
Magnificent muskrat!!
Chestnut jigged bone model?
Thanks Ron! Went on an adventure with the fearless four and their beautiful mama today. Great hike to a waterfall swimming hole. These are the kind of days that make you happy to be a dad. And the pioneer did an excellent job cutting up apples for lunch.
...
Fantastic photos of what sounds like an idyllic day, Jon!!
I tossed the seven yr old in there first to make sure it was safe for me to get in. Turns out, all good.
I ended up with this. If you're going with two blades, why not three?
Why not, indeed? And if you're going with one shield, why not two? Excess has its charms!
Today in my pocket walks this Victorinox Alox Pioneer Old Cross.
....
Pristine old Pioneer, José!
...
Carrying a large ebony Lambsfoot SFO today, along with an Old Friend, which once started off as another Lambsfoot, by Abram Brooksbank
Your stag HHB looks divine (but NOT ebony), Jack!
And that golden Brooksbank is grand!
Finishing up this little cedar ball in cage at lunch today. Bringing the tool I’ve been using to do it. Have a great Friday everyone.
Wish I could whittle that well!!
Here are 4 knives I always carry, regardless of what my rotation schedule assigns me. These are my literal EDC.
