Ebony Mini Trapper for Wednesday

 

[Jack Black]

Nope... It's freezing out there... waiting for it to warm up a bit.


Let's hope not.
But, I'll have my 6'5" - 280lb. son spotting the ladder for me, he can catch me if I slip.

Yikes! Take care out there John

That’s a big boy. Why bother with the ladder?
Sounds like he could just lift you by the ankles.

The only problem with that is that I go about 250 myself.

Counting down to 2021! Thank the Lord!

Good eye, Michael, and thanks. I really like the maroon with black swirls (or whatever the color is) on the knife, but have no idea what the material is. Sort of reminds me of 1950s telephones in terms of texture/feel – Bakelite? I've tried to polish the handles to bring out more of the color, but didn't have much effect. Here's another photo with artificial light that might show off the covers a bit more:

Platonic ideal of a Peanut! I'm thinking of limiting my Case knife purchases from now on to the classic yellow delrin CV models (and maybe a chestnut jigged bone canoe if I ever see one in my price range, or maybe an occasional navy blue jigged bone with red shield, or ... ).

Thanks for the follow-up on the Holub! The texture/feel comment adds yet more interest.

Case's jigged bone is nice to be sure -- hope you get that canoe!

Today the yellow 'nut had apple duty:

Couldn’t decide which, so carried both for Wednesday.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Was looking for some wooden handles in the drawer for today, but the siren song of this Sowbelly won the day.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Thanks Gary !




Nice pair !

Thanks, Steve. Hey ~ never saw that wood on a knife before.

The only problem with that is that I go about 250 myself.

Reminds me of some good ‘ol Roy D Mercer!

Thank you, we will!

Beautiful knife, and great snack selection!

Thanks! The snack came in my Christmas stocking.

 

[Headwinds]

Your one-of-a kind appaloosa half whittler is still looking good!

 

[JonMcD]

These two smooth wooden gems in the pockets today whilst playing games with kiddos, spoiling them with post Christmas sugar and genuinely enjoying life at a slow pace.

Love my Electrician. Quite a capable carry and for me a "not-to-worry" one at that. I enjoy your pics of it.

Same knife, but many different and creative photos!

Thanks. The electrician has definitely won me over. I'm carrying it again today.
I like trying to come up with interesting pics. I've been in a bit of a photography rut lately, and working with the limitations of my phone camera helps to get the creative juices flowing again.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Delightful duo my friend, two extremely handsome and capable-looking knives

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Your HHB sweet slicer and an industrial grade cap lifter make a cool and handy pair; cheers!

Toting a couple of wood covered French slicers, one in juniper and the other in olive wood.
