Finding knives to give my kids when they're old enough should be a fun project indeed. I do have plenty of time for it, but it seems like my daughter went from 0 to 3 in no time at all.Sounds like a fun project you have plenty of time to work out!![]()
That's very cool.
Thank you, Jack.Practical pairing for Wooden Wednesday my friend
Pretty cool locking whittler.Humpback for hump day

You're very well-read my friend, and knowledgeable of courseDo you think, like most things, we owe the Greeks (or at least Zeno) for that too?

I'm not sure I have the noodle for it all these days I'm afraid, my brain was much more agile as a young man

Cool photos!I don't think I have the discipline or the accuracy to whittle into a can!
When I do indoor winter whittling, I put my chair in the middle of a drop cloth spread out on the floor.

Thanks, Gary!Impressive stag/horn traveling companions, Joshua!
A month with a 110 is quite a challenge, Steve!Good luck (but don't let it throw your back out of alignment
)!
Memory seems to become more selective (and for me, randomly so) with age, Jack.
I was glad to see that Vince returned from a BF break for Lent!

That's some fancy Easter finery you carried, Jack!
Your cork Cool is a unique knife, José!
Compact and capable couple of cutters, John!
Pretty pearl, Bruce!
I hope the family feasting and fishing went well Sunday!
Thanks for the stats, John.
I have to admit it was totally unintentional, Gus.
Thanks for the mini review and recommendation, Alan.
Thanks for the history lesson.
Thanks for the follow-up info, Bruce.
Thanks for the informative reply, Tom.I don't have a lot of experience with magnolias, but my impression is that they look stunning but are quite fragile, and your info fits with my impression.
Thanks for the holiday wish; I hope it was a fine day for everyone!
Great to see you back, Vince!Sounds like you've been very self-disciplined, and I hope you had a focused Lenten experience!
Definitely festive glittery covers, JJ!Really like that knurled bolster on the coffin jack.
Congrats on the new knife from the Buck 500-series, Dean; great photo!If you take requests, I'd benefit from seeing a comparison shot of your two recent Buck 500s.
(I'm a little behind in this thread, so maybe you've actually posted such a photo since Sunday, and I just haven' gotten to it yet.)
Thanks for the opener info.I'd think that the church keys with the triangular "can punch" could do some damage to cloth and flesh if carried in a pocket.
Thanks for the kind word, Jack.
Cool bucolic backgrounds for your HHB and Farmer pics!
I appreciate your compliment, José.The desert ironwood Guardians lambsfoot knives had such a variety of grain; yours is very different from mine, but VERY striking with it's straight grain!

thanks, Jack, I appreciate your kind words—that’s about all the anarchism we covered, it’s an intro course on Ideology and Conflict... so there are many to include. As for the Greeks, Plato’s Republic is the source of so much we in “the West” live with, politically and socially.
That’s a beauty of a HSB Bruce![]()
We used to have a pulpit chair that the church had stopped using. Dad called it his philosopher king chair.I imagine so!![]()
Yes indeed, I read Plato's Republic as a 20-year old, I think I'd struggle with it now (and much of the other stuff I read then)!
Keep up the good work my friend
