Great pictures John

Thank you, Todd.

sounds like you’re having a great time.

It's all fun except the driving.

A fellow Black Alox Toter.

That's perfect, since I was wearing a Winchester T-shirt today.

Glad you're having a great time buddy

It's been fun we got to go to a train museum today.

We did another short hike in the woods instead.

That was probably smart, it's a tough hike back up from the lake.

I like the stag Buck Canoe... very handsome

Visited the train museum in North Platte Nebraska...
Tomorrow we will be in Omaha and moving my son into his apartment.

Fresh Habanada’s from the garden and the 83 doing the work.

This one just makes me happy.

Yes, perfectly understandable, my friend.

John, we have lived little more than 10 miles away from a huge railroad museum, the Illinois Railway Museum, for over 30 years, and never visited. I don’t know why, either.
We rectified that this past Sunday, since we were looking for something fun to do with our 5yr old grandson.
We will definitely be going back!

It just seems that the Older I Get , the Shorter the Day . Carried 2 of my very favorite knives today and never took time to get photos of them together but I will use some old ones of each one . Northfield 83 and Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoot .

My son loves trains, so we visit one every time we get close.
They are a lot of fun and I think Traditional knife Knuts would all enjoy Traditional and nostalgic travel vehicles.

Wow, those are show stoppers Greg!

Thank you Todd, much appreciated.

Thanks for the info, Greg. I have some wood handles that seem to be getting rather dry, so I think I'll try your method. (Actually, I'll probably turn it into an experiment, and do one knife with mineral oil, one with beeswax, and one with your mix.)

Back to your former whittler/equal end theme; grand example, Greg!

- GT

I've always felt most woods need some protection from the elements, except for a few of the denser/naturally oily ones.
Thanks, Gary. The equal end/whittler combo gives me a good assortment of blades although one or the other carried alone would suffice for most of my needs, but variety and a couple knives to fiddle with each day brings me joy.

Another whittler went in the pocket today, along with a Barlow. Rosewood and winter bottom bone.

Jon, you consistently post knockout knives! That stag muskrat is memorable!

Thanks GT! If I could shake your hand through this screen I would surely do it!

This one just makes me happy.

I love the handwriting - nobody writes anymore it seems. Killer knife too!

I'm one knifenut that loves trains, John. The wife and I took a cross country trip a few years ago. Syracuse to Chicago, Chicago to Albuquerque, Albuquerque to LA, up to San Francisco and then home via a more northern route. I'd do it again in a minute!
I love the high speed rails in Europe too. What a civilized way to travel. If I've got the time, and I can get somewhere via train I'd never fly again.

Decided to take a long scenic stroll on my old ´94 Pinarello road-bike and came by this odd looking structure used for drying fish.
Bonus pic of my bike. The steel frame kinda makes it traditional too, riiiight?
In the back you can see smoke from the Fagradalsfjall eruption (as said, I opted for a scenic ride).

Italian + lugged steel frame, + a Campy groupo sure makes it "traitional". (even with the triple chain ring crank on a road bike)

We made our way back home today. Here are a couple more shots from the trip. A hike in the woods at Crater Lake with the same old SAK and paddle boarding with my daughter on the Deschutes. Back to the grind tomorrow and I can stop bugging you guys with vacation knife photos.

Thanks for taking us along Sacto, your pictures were fantastic!

Half way through reading your Train Travels , I was thinking that we could top that , and then you said that you came back across on a Northern Route . But we did get to take the 125 MPH from Doncaster to London in 1986 and then in 2005 we took the Indian Pacific from Perth , Australia to Sydney . We have surely enjoyed our travel on Trains . I think your trip would be verrrry nice .

Thanks, Todd. I’m glad you enjoyed them. My daughter had a free National Parks pass this year through school, so that was what prompted the road trip. We saw Redwoods National Park, Lavabeds National Monument, and Crater Lake National Park.
