[Sacto]

I had a good day today with my Bigfoot SAK. My family and I paddleboarded down the river,

I tended to the cattle,

and finished the day with some beer.

Hide and Seek World Champion!! Good stuff, I have the same knife too, had to have when I saw it.

No, but I'll be ready if she happens to stop by.

A tremendous trifecta of stag slicers for you today, Jack; have a super cool Saturday!

Many thanks JJ, hope you're having a lovely weekend

Toting a couple of old Camillus BSA Scouts today.

Fantastic pairing my friend, it's great to see that old blade etch preserved

That stag sheepsfoot is stunning every time.

Thank you very much

Any info on that? I have an avid fisherman in the family who could like something like that!

Thank you kindly, Gary. The fight'n roosters are quality knives IMO. I have another of this brand coming my way in the mail, due to arrive soon.


Thanks again, Gary. I enjoyed your story of working as a youth, brings back memories of my youth bending nails each summer and sore fingers from hammer blows.

I look forward to seeing your new Fight'n Rooster, Greg. I have a 4-blade canoe from that brand, and I agree with your quality assessment.
I still bend more than my share of nails when I use a hammer.

Carrying the Usual Lamb and The GEC #71 Bullnose in Red Micarta
I'm going to try and carry the #71 a lot more, I think it's a great knife and I have to get used to the blade shape.
...

Versatile pair, John!

Notable pair of matched stag knives, José!

...
Inspired by you guys ( ) I decided to carry this favorite today:

Real handsome Wharncliffe mini trapper, Mike! Wish they'd let buyers pick whatever blade combo they wanted; I'd go for lambsfoot/spey or lambsfoot/spear!
I like the looks of Case's bone stag, but I think I'd want to be able to choose it in person.

Have a great day everyone! View attachment 1636845

Cool photo with that golden glow over your grand black/yellow combo, Todd!

I'm gonna carry this Tascosa lock back today to the Brass Rail Restaurant for either a French Dip sandwich or Ravioli and then a quick stop at the Holiday Market
...

and then, home for a nap in my new chair (the brown one on the left) that was delivered yesterday afternoon while Cindy probably dozes off in her new chair too.
...

Appealing little lockback, ED, and congrats on the plush new chairs!

This knife impresses me to this day…every time I pick it up.

I've never seen one of those in person, but every time I see a photo, it kicks up my pulse rate a few beats per minute!

Delightful Northwood's Presidential today

Hail to the Chief!! Your Presidential is outstanding, Jim!

...
She’s been very excited about kindergarten, and seems to love it so far. She had just started part-time pre-school (a couple days a week) in Jan. or Feb. of 2020, and she only got to go for a month or so before Covid. (She did start back at it earlier this summer, which hopefully had helped ease the transition to kindergarten.)

Yesterday I swapped out the Nifebrite #71 for this one in OD Green Linen Micarta, which is still in my pocket today.

Glad Eleanor is fired up about school, Barrett!
You're a real ambassador of the Bull Nose!

KeenKutter and a Boker

Splendid "crinkly" bone on that pair, Steve!

Thank you gents. Yes, I cut the blade yesterday with a Dremel tool and shaped the curve with hand files. I also cut a nail nick in the pile side of the blade. I am pleased with my Sheepfoot blade shape but only tolerant of my nail nick. The nail nick proved to be the hardest part to figure out with limited tools (dremel and files). I did blue it with gun blue this morning (the interior of the nick) so it looks better. I think I can work the shape a bit more to get it even on both sides. I’ll take a photo and post it here later. My first significant blade mod - thanks for the support. OH

Nice work on the blade mod, Bruce! That clip/sheep blade combo is really versatile on a 93OT I have!

Superb antlers on that lamb!

That jack with some miles on it looks fabulous! Remington?

...
Another week almost up, and I'm carrying my Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot SFO, and an Old Friend
...

Your ebony lambsfoot under full sail and the Ancient (Mariner) Barlow are an inspired pair, Jack!

A quality quartet Gary Nice pics too

Thanks, Jack.

Thank you very much my friend Before, I was gifted my Aitor Castor Pequena, I had never used a knife with that leaf-shaped blade. It looked very odd to me, but as you know, it punches above its weight. I dare say the blade has a Spanish name, but if I ever knew it, I'm afraid it's long forgotten!

So that blade shape is uncommon in the UK as well as the US. I suspected that, but appreciate your confirmation, Jack!

Great looking knives Gary, that red old cross pioneer has such character.

Thanks Gary, finding and buying beads fills in the gaps between new knives and keeps the packages coming in the mail!

Thanks for the Pioneer props, Todd.
Maybe I'll have to look into the bead market; I have a package coming in tomorrow, but there's not much connection between knives and the new jock I await with great anticipation!

Ready for a casual Sunday.

Good morning.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

I’ll be fiddling with this one today.

Spotted a little canoe floating in the bay and decided to give it a try.

That burlap has a nice look to it, Todd. I imagine those will sell well for Case.
