Cracker Jack for me this week:
Formidable stag on the pile side of his AC, Gary.
Cracker Jack for me this week:
Good morning! It is a Tennessee shape for sure. I don’t know if it’s intended to be a pry bar. It’s cutout from .25” Titanium. It was a gift from my friend Paul @paulhilborn.Good morning! Is that a Tennessee pry bar? I thought only Texans went for state-shaped stuff (you can buy anything Texas-shaped, from jewelry to corn chips)
You always have interesting contributions, Jack!
My understanding is that a "fly guy" is different from a "flyboy"; is that correct??
That's an excellent toolkit, Jack! The pouch with all the loops looks perfect for organizing tools!
Thanks for sharing that adventure with us, Jack; quite an unusual day!
What could be fancier than an acclaimed 2019 Knife of the Year, Jack??

Thanks, Gary. I do like its fiery color. (Marmite, not so much)
I wonder if the bright white area near the bolster will mellow and darken. Time will tell.
Looks like a very fancy day, Jack.
Good morning Guardians! Totin this 2018 Ebony Guardians Lambsfoot SFO today!

Good morning Guardians! The extraordinary adventures of Linus the Lambfoot continue with me on my morning work break. Linus says, "Man, you sure are boring. Where's the extraordinary adventure?!"View attachment 1277618
Really hate you're going through it, Ed! Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Glad to see a bit of levity mixed in!
Good to be seen, John!!
Thank you much, Harvey!
Hope all is well in your neighborhood!
They're also after my meds!!
Here's to a speedy recovery, Bill!! You and Ed both have a great attitude to be admired!
A Grand start with a Grand Lambsfoot, Jack!
Fine looking "Pistachio " Lamb, José!
A sweet duet, John!
Who needs a 4-leaf clover with a Lambsfoot like that!
Hey, that photo of kNife and Necco's are Neeto!
Wonderful stag, Ron!!
Love that one, Harvey! Great photo!
But still an eye full, Taylor!
Going along with Jack's tool kit post, a little pouch I keep handy, especially for electronics.
Jack, your Stag Damascus is a beautifully hafted knife. I agree that the Stag should extend to the bolsters. Something that seldom happens from any manufacturer today as it seems. It surely goes to the way the slabs are cut and matched to the knife. I’m certainly no cutler, but it seems that it would be easier to do if the slabs were cut thinner. This would lead to more stag available for what we used to see as second cut or possibly more polished stag which can be a very durable and beautiful handle material in its own right.I don't know when Sheffield cutlers started grinding stag like that, but I wish they would just cut it better I do think it will turn more yellow with age Rachel, at least I hope so. In the case of this Damascus SFO, the stag was thin anyway, so the bark goes right up to the bolster, as it should in my opinion. Most of mine from the same manufacturer, have the stag ground at the bolster. For the most part, they look OK, and the grinding is done well, but they would look better with the full bark I think
Cool pic Ron
Typically kind of that good fellow
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.Thank you much, Harvey!
Hope all is well in your neighborhood!
Maybe Linus is like me, enjoying the down time as much as the adventures."Man, you sure are boring. Where's the extraordinary adventure?!"
Thank you, Jack.Lovely photo my friend
Harvey, you can make any knife look great.Good Afternoon Guardians.
I sincerely thank you for the nice words, John. Loved your WCLF and and Hartshead image.Maybe Linus is like me, enjoying the down time as much as the adventures.
Thank you, Jack.
Harvey, you can make any knife look great.
I don't think that one needed any help, but what a beautiful picture.

I agree that ideally, the stag should be cut thinner, leaving the bark going right up to the bolster. (why remove material from the pretty side? ) But I'm not complaining in this case. It's not excessively fat stag, with just enough thickness for a comfortable palm swell, and the stag itself is nice and dense (not pithy) leaving a nice smooth spot for my thumb to use as a worry stone.Jack, your Stag Damascus is a beautifully hafted knife.

Paul is a generous friend. I’m proud to have been able to meet he and Duncan at a Rendezvous a couple of years ago.
Jack Black - Your compass and chain add yet another layer of cool to your Hartshead.
@5K Qs - Thank you GT. Your Cracker Jack is handsome as ever.
Good Afternoon Guardians.
