Thanks Gary! Got a lot of use today out of the knife you sent me. We have to do a lot of reconfiguring on our dock to fit the new boat. Cut lots of rope today, even used the spike to untie a few knots that had been cinched all winter!Congrats on the new acquisitions, Todd!Lots of Porch denizens going for that micarta single-blade trapper lately! Your Böker stockman pair is sehr elegant!

It's a great sadness when a tree dies off or is selfishly felledSpending some time in the backyard this morning with these two knives along. Sadly our massive silver maple is dying and will probably be taken down this year.
I'll sure miss the old girl and the shade she provides. On the plus side I won't miss the 6 million seed pods she releases that cover the lawn each spring.

We intend to put another in its place. It will be difficult as the base is around 5' in diameter and the stump grinding will be quite an undertaking. The roots could be a problem to work around as well. If I were a chainsaw artist I would consider carving a tall grizzly bear or a Sasquatch, it measures 14' vertical to that first fork.It's a great sadness when a tree dies off or is selfishly felledI hope you plant something to replace it.
Both my parents were cremated, there is no grave to visit thankfully. Instead, I've planted trees in their memory in three different countries as a remembrance and as a source of future beauty
Tremendous Ebony/Blackwood on those knives shown, hope those trees get replaced too.
That 29 just keeps getting better with age!
