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

Thanks GT! The Aitor Pastor is a nice inexpensive knife. It's my "hard use" folder. I like the size (10 cm closed). Very comfortable in the hand. Handles(laminated wood) are a bit thicker than a yellow delrin Case sod buster. It has decent stainless steel. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge pretty well. It has a strong pull which I like.

Handsome pair

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

Thanks a lot my friend

These two for me today.

Reckon you'll be OK with those two Tom

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

Mmmmm....I can smell that peppery goodness from here!

Hope everyone is having a good week

Generally my wife is supportive of my photography habit as long as it doesn't cost too much... As for being allowed in the delivery room with a camera, I was allowed when my daughter was born, but I had to stay by the head of the bed! I only took pictures after she was born anyway.
...

Classic

You got that right, David!

...
Thanks GT! The Farmer X's arrived and I am really liking it. I think it will supplant my Pioneer X. Paired with a small fixed blade it may be my favorite combination I have tried so far.

Very cool, Tom; always nice when an "experiment" turns out to be an improvement!
Are both your Farmer Xs red?

Thank you for your comments, Gary. Regarding using a congress knife; I had the same feeling the first time I used one. I used this one for a couple things the day I posted it and I don't remember having a problem.
...

Thanks for your opinion on using a congress pattern, Dean.

For TC Tuesday, I'm carrying the Ancient One 2.0.

View attachment 1532666

Very pleasant photo of your Ancient TC with the farm buildings and pond in the background!

Thanks Gary!!! Yes, at least the ones I have

Thanks for the Pocket-Eze info, JJ.

Camillus 12 and a 67

Splendid Camillus couple, Steve! I'll vote for the 3-blade model today.

Another Two TEWs Tuesday for me . Two Lambfoots for Tuesday Too . Like my TEWs . Rainey day here today so I have to use some older photos today .
...
Harry

Prime pair of lambsfoot TEWs, Harry!

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
...

Welcome back, Jack; I hope the tech problems are solved! Good to see you didn't lose your stag HHB while you were "away"!

Boker Trapper for wooden Wednesday.

Good wood!

5K Qs ~ I carry a spare of my car key, and house key (old habit) in my left front pocket, with an Esquire on it. I like it’s larger size better than the Vic Classic.
It’s my most used knife.

Interesting info, Jeff. I like that the Esquire has the blade on the opposite end from the key ring attachment, unlike the Classic; that seems a better design to me. But my daily carry of a little knife like those is the Vic Minichamp - definitely thicker, I like the little Wharncliffe blade, Philips/bottle opener, and retractable ink pen, along with file and scissors.

I just finished 3d printing a bunch of small boxes for encapsulating some circuit boards. I know I should use the X-acto knives for trimming, but I'll take any excuse to use the peanut.

Very cool photo!

Schrade 330T old timer, wonderful carry.

and a great day to all.

Classic 2-blade jack, Gus!

Have these two with me today.
View attachment 1533127

Thanks Gus! Full disclosure, it was cloudy this morning so I put a “vivid” filter on it, but in full light, it doesn’t need it!

Handsome wood Euro duo, Todd!
We're allowed to use filters for our pictures??

Buck 503 for Wooden Wednesday.

View attachment 1533210

You sure make that Buck look good, Dean!

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

Striking pair, JJ; I always enjoy seeing them!

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

Thanks for the blade rub info, Dean.
Mine has quite a bit, but it doesn't get a turn to be carried very often, so it's not a big deal.

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!

He's doing fine now. He works in a nursing home, so he got his shots quite a while ago.
My paternal grandparents were Dutch immigrants, but they never required me to speak Dutch to get treats!

Thanks, the new pocket worn grey bone sure has lods of character.

I'm not afraid to get things done in those boots and I've completed many projects in them, but I always give 'em a stiff brushitat the end of the day condition them regularly and give the toes a good buffing once in a while.

Even after the root digging and concrete busting I did yesterday they clean up nice.

The leather has patina'd like a good carbon steel blade.
...

Thanks for the boot maintenance info; definitely well-cared-for!

SAK Camper and just arrived Dead Skunk

Congrats on the new 85, Paul; that pair of white-on-red knives go well together! You must be nuts about the Camper.

Thank you GT.
Yes, I just received it in a trade.

Congrats, John!

Thanks Gary !
Camillus did a nice job on this one being that it is actually Delrin

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Oops!
Thanks for setting me straight, Steve.

Thanks GT! The Aitor Pastor is a nice inexpensive knife. It's my "hard use" folder. I like the size (10 cm closed). Very comfortable in the hand. Handles(laminated wood) are a bit thicker than a yellow delrin Case sod buster. It has decent stainless steel. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge pretty well. It has a strong pull which I like.

Thanks for the detailed info on your Aitor. I've got it on my "wish list" at a dealer, and will probably move it to my cart next time I put an order together.

Thanks Gary, and why not some more Jack for today and a great one to all.

 

[r8shell]

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)?
https://homeguides.sfgate.com/prune-rosemary-after-freeze-20986.html

Thanks for the link. I'm giving it time before I do anything, just in case.

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.

The jury's still out. I don't think it'll ever be my favorite pattern, but it's nice to mix things up with a little variety from time to time.

For Thrifty Thursday, I'll carry my newest project: the Barlow you sent me last year.
I'm not sure if I'm finished with it, but I do know I like the uneven coloring of the bone.

Thanks Jack, same to ya!

That’s really cool! You elevated that knife from solid to something special!

You know I love a #66.

Grogu seems to approve of your choices.

Rachel, you are very talented... that looks great!

I see no reason to change...

Great knife, love the wharncliffe version better also!

Thanks. Yeah, for my general uses the straight edge of the wharncliffe is handier than the spey.
