[JohnDF]

because it’s !

Great pairing John

Thank you, Todd.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Good morning. Woke up at three am to the welcome sound of a nice rain, and it is now a stunningly nice day. Hope it is where you are.
A.Wright, Ulster TL-29 with the big round butt (the ONLY time I’ll use that phrase in public), and a home made file knife. I felled a tree for my brother in law about 20 years ago, and saved a couple of chunks. Fairly sure it’s some variety of hawthorne, or hornbeam, but whatever it is, it’s as hard as iron, and I like the grain.

Edit to add: I only own two Real Lambfoot knives, three if I’m allowed to count the Klein hawkbill I re-sheped into a lambfoot. I blame Harry, aka Old Engineer for it. The first time I met him, he brought along his old Taylor’s Eye Witness, which you all have seen photos of many times, for me to inspect. A year later, he stuck this Wright into my hand as a very nice gift.

Beautiful Viper! Hope your daughter feels better soon!

Thank you (x2), Todd!! She seems to be feeling much better today, but we decided to keep her home as a precaution. She might just be sick of hanging with her old man lol.

I love the wood (color and grain) on your Lamb... Beautiful!

I found these Turkey feathers in the yard this morning, which I give to the grandkids. They get a big kick out of watching the turkeys come around our bird feeders. I also toss a few scoops full of seed in the yard for them. They made a nice backdrop for my constant carry.

We get a lot of wildlife as our 2 acres borders a 90 acre forever wild land tract. I always worry about deer ticks, since we see a lot of deer browsing on our property. We always check ourselves and the kids thoroughly after we've been outside in the lawn.

I read something interesting the other day, which makes me feel better about the whole tick thing. The average grown turkey eats about 200 ticks a day. Seems they are a large part of their diet. We'll still be vigilant, but it's good to know the Turkeys are on our side! I guess you could call it a symbiotic relationship.

I looked through our new emojis for a turkey, but didn't see one!

Whole lot of timber in the pocket.
Enough wood for two Wooden Wednesdays

Thanks buddy, I better go find my lumberjack shirt!

I like your photos of that terrific trio Jeff I have been waking up to the sound of rain for more than a month now, I'm glad it's been shared around!

Quality quartet Gary, but the Gunboat has added interest

Beautiful wood on those knives Jeff, glad to hear you got some much needed rain

Haven’t seen any Turkey on our property, but if they eat that many ticks they certainly would be welcome! Here...turkey turkey turkey!

Today’s project was setting up a deck umbrella for my wife; now she can relax or read on the deck with some sun protection. My Imperial Frontier got todays pocket duty, cutting open four 50lb bags of play-sand to fill the four bases, cutting open the two shipping cartons, and cutting all the errant strings from our offshore manufacturers product were all within the ability of the pocketknife. Now to cut up the cardboard boxes and put it in the recycling bin. OH

Great Frontier, Bruce!
Isn’t it nice to sit out on the deck? This time of year, it’s even better to watch the Orioles come in for grape jelly while scolding us at the same time. I have three Norway maple volunteers which came from seeds from my older trees providing a nice shade canopy over the deck. Technically, they’re much too close to the house, and I know I really should at least prune them away from the roof. But by the time they are big enough to cause trouble, I’ll be long gone
For now we’ll enjoy the shade, and the birds have a place to hide when the Coopers Hawk tries to get them at the feeders.

Nice rosewood. See my edit for credit for that!

Thanks, guys!
We are still behind our usual rainfall, but everything~ garden, grass, and trees looks green and happy this morning!

Todd, my next door neighbors have dozens of birds~ turkeys, ducks, chickens, and guinea hens. Quite entertaining, as well as noisy. And yes, they love to eat bugs!

Gary, that reminds me of what they say about Purple Martins~that they eat their weight in mosquitos every day.
Witj our draught, we have yet to have our first mosquito hatch, but when it comes, the Martins and bats will be very welcome.

Way back in the '80's I dated a gal who lived out in the woods. We were always picking ticks off ourselves. The first time I found one while we were inside, she took the tick, cut it in half with scissors and dropped it in a little jar of alcohol. I guess I looked at her funny, because she gave a little shrug and said, "Not even death kills ticks."

Mighty 55 in walnut going to barber's with me today.

It’s a slip joint…..

Unfortunately that thumbstud makes it a no go for this sub-forum. Nice knife though.
From the guidelines:

Modern locking mechanisms such as Walker liner locks, pocket clips, holes / studs to allow one hand opening are all out. (Traditional liner locks, such as the lock on a TL29, are in.) Add a clip to a stockman, and it needs to be posted elsewhere. By the same token, if it is traditional except for a clip and you remove the clip, feel free to post it here.

Staying home today again and the wife is still doing her spring gardening so, once again I'll carry this Case CV Sod Buster Jr. in solidarity for her. It'll be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch today. Can't wait for tomorrow as we'll be going to town and the Wagon Wheel Cafe.
