it's spring !!!

Maybe where you are... I'm getting 4" to 6" of snow today. The only green on the ground here is if I drop my green stockman.

 

[Modoc ED]

It's bright and sunny today and we're only hanging around the house except for the daily run up to the mailboxes so, I'm going to carry this Boker Trapper with yellow covers. It goes well with the sunlight.

Long day of teaching and meetings today... I'll have to catch-up later. This one for wooden Wed... there is enough bark on that stag to count, I think! And some carved wood for good measure...

 

[JJ Cahill]

Apologies for missing everyone's knives the past few days, I haven't been able to access the internet, except in an extremely limited way, and getting matters resolved during our current state of lockdown was extremely difficult Hoping I've got it fixed now I hope everyone's keeping well I've mainly been carrying these two while I've been away, and again today - my Hartshead Barlow and a Maserin Filiscjna

Great to see you back, Jack; love the Wharncliffe on your Filiscjna, excellent partner to your Hartshead!

[Whetstone39]

These two for me today.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Toting these two French slicers, both wearing fragrant Juniper wood.

 

[Markesharp]

I bought this Rocky Menefee (Rick's son) Lanny's Clip from Vince. One of his first offerings. Nice walk and talk, solid pull and I love the fish shield. I couldn't help to support a young knife maker.

Excellent Continental wooden pair! How do you like that Aitor Pastor?

Have a great day. I will if you will.View attachment 1531833View attachment 1531834

It's a deal, Jeff! Couple of fine single-bladed knives for you!

That Böker Barlow with der Baum on the bolster is a bewitching beauty!!

What a quality Queen whittler, P&G!

It feels like it's been ages since I carried the good 'ol G20, sometimes I overlook it because it's a bit plain but function beats all and in that regard it's king.

Handful of good stuff there! The gray half whittler looks distinguished, and that spoon-handle suspension clip on your keys is fancy! I seem to remember when you got new shoes, too, and I'd have said it was quite a while ago, but your shoes still look almost NIB!

Case Canoe.

That canoe has character and charisma!

Case medium stockman in Chestnut bone.

Great bone color, Dean! Does that stockman have much blade rub?

Grabbed these two to help me cut through plastic wrapping at my storage; glad I did.

A new arrival ALOX Farmer X today.

Hope everyone is doing well. First post in a long time. Today, GEC 66 and Alox Farmer.

Fabulous Farmers' Market, JJ & Tom & @JB in LV !

Camillus 69 and a GEC 43

Sweet pair, Steve; if I can only vote for one, I'll go for the curvaceous Camillus with the crinkly cattle bone and sunk joints!

Had these two with me today.

Couple of sublime knives (and slips), Todd!

Heya 5K Qs Gary
Good eye... It’s a rarity

sweet punch & long—pull Spey
Thank you again pal !

Thanks for the extra photo, Gus, showing off the charms of that venerable knife!

Thanks for the compliment! Yep, it's a Cadet - it hasn't missed a day in the pocket since Christmas.

Thanks for the confirmation, @Headwinds !

Thanks, Gary. Most of them are doing fine, but I'll miss the big rosemary bush.

I'm no horticulturalist, and know nothing about rosemary, but we have a lot of perennials in Michigan that look like dead sticks in winter but a miracle occurs in spring! Maybe this link offers hope (or not)?

Hanging out with my latest arrival

That's very cool, and ancient, I'll bet. Congrats!

Thanks, Gary--yes, second dose didn't have much of an impact except a sore spot on my arm, which lasted about a day. My wife felt a little worse for a bit, but nothing too severe at all.

As for the Greek, at one point I was speaking it, and being schooled in it as often as English. Between my father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parochial school/church, it was a regular part of everyday life.

Glad the COVID shots weren't a problem. My daughter's boyfriend felt quite awful for almost 3 days after his second dose (Modern, I think).
I'm always kind of amazed by the ease with which many folks handle being raised bilingual!

Victorinox alox Pioneer “Kingfisher” 97/100.

...

I always enjoy seeing your two-tone Alox, José!

I've never been into Trappers, and I'm giving this one a carry today to see what I've been missing.

How did you like carrying it? I'm not much of a full-sized trapper fan, but I really like mini trappers and slimline trappers.

I think most guys would throw this knife in the safe.
Not me... It's way more valuable to me in my pocket.

Totally Cool TC Barlow, John!! Is that new to you?

Got my 32 today...

A crimson peach-seed 6207...

I received this Shuffler Slim on Monday and have been carrying it ever since. I'm smitten. Yes, its new and shiny (not really that shiny, but you know what I mean) and I have a short attention span when it comes to new and shiny, but this thing is seriously nice. I'm impressed.

 

[Sacto]

I’ve got this one along today, putting a solar pump in a well. I’ve found I like the wharncliffe trapper much better than the classic trapper.

Just a bit on the sheepfoot and pen with no impact on use.

Sorry to hear, but I hope he’s turned that corner. A degree of protection from the virus is worth the occasionally unfortunate price of admission—that’s my position, anyway.

As for learning Greek as a kid, there were many culinary rewards that came with speaking properly to grandma, which helped keep me motivated!
