WINNERS CHOSEN! 5 DAY GIVEAWAY!!! User Challenge!

Yes, the Lamb is a real slicing machine!!
I made my brother a couple of leather slips for some of his newer acquisitions. I made one that he can use for his new 47 Viper(s) or his Cody Scout, and another for his #14 Boy's Knife.
I don't have the skills for anything too fancy, but they're functional, and that's what counts!

I forgot to take a picture of the small one, but it is basically a copy of this one that I made for mine.

And the large one...
Looks great! Very cool aesthetic. Thanks for sharing
 
Bucee's was a bust for things to cut. Think big C store with about a hundred gas pumps, tons of snacks everywhere and a good BBQ brisket sandwich - which I recently learned it's a thing they're famous for. But Peckerwood is not dismayed, no not at all, for there is the mandatory bag opening photo to post. And the dogs are dang glad of it too. What do you all think of that super smooth razor like bag slice anyway?

So, I woke up and decided that there hadn't been nearly enough pork fat in my diet the past couple days. As I had some chorizo sitting on the counter, I decided to make one my favorite tapas dishes: Chorizo al Vino Tinto or, for the less linguistically inclined, Spanish Sausage in Red Wine.

While perhaps not strictly traditional (although there are a lot of regional variations, so who knows?) I like mine with some onions:

and some garlic:

I let the onions start building up flavor in some olive oil - and I discovered that The Rider's punch makes an excellent pointing device. I think the next time someone asks for directions, I may just whip out The Rider to show them! (probably an awful idea - wish me luck...)

THERE are the onions! Right there! 👉

While the onions were doing their thing, I started slicing the chorizo.

And finished slicing it too! 🤣

The chorizo went in the pot with the onions, and the garlic joined the party shortly after that - don't want the garlic to get bitter, y'know?

Now that everybody had joined the pot party - hey! You know that's not what I meant! I meant, like, all the solid ingredients were in the pot... you know what? Just nevermind - anyways, it was time to open the wine.

The Rider's punch proved a handy tool for getting that pesky foil off!

And, in the name of safety and using the right tool for the job, I used a corkscrew to remove the cork (but I thought about using the punch... 😈). Funny thing about this corkscrew tool, I don't know its provenance, and have always kind of wondered if the 'AA' stands for 'American Airlines' ✈️, 'Alcoholics Anonymous' 😱, or something else entirely - or maybe both?💀🤣

I poured in half the bottle, dropped the heat, and now I'm just gonna let it reduce nice and low and slooooow like.

Once the wine reduces by about half, it's ready - but that's gonna take a bit - better go find something else to do...

... like take knife pics! 🤣

A 74mm Vic can section an apple, even a large one like this...

carve a divot into the side

then cut slices from the divot

spear slices & enjoy

I prefer a fixed blade for food processing (less messy) so this will be to me like a .22 LR is for self defense... not ideal but better than nothing. To be used only in a pinch. :)
 
I am not. Got out of the Army in 2016. I work for the Department of the Army as a range operations specialist.
I remember when the Army "storemen"where all re designated as "Stores Specialists" they got all big headed every time we went to the stores for spares.

So we told them we where "Mechanic Specialist" they said get lost grease monkeys... 😂
 
Got one shot at a duck and missed, just not many in the area. Duck Dog Dutch still thought it was a grand time. I really wanted to get a few for him to retrieve and use the 110 for the challenge.
Dutch, resting now, really puts everything he has into the hunt. From the time I get him out of the truck, until he's back in it, his intensity level is pegged. That's not quite right, he knows when I start getting the gear together, we're going, and he is on high alert.
Here he is resting today after getting home...

Here is an older photo of him in a blind watching for ducks, that shows his intensity...

You have really ruined this for me ya know... The Copperhead is one of my favorite patterns, and I really love an amber bone model, but now that I've been watching the journey of Peckerwood the Copperhead I cant stop thinking of the pattern as a... Peckerhead 😭😂 lol I may have to retire mine, since you can get in trouble for whipping out your Peckerhead in public after all lol
