Hey all,
A porch member recently asked me about my username.
I told him it reflects my interest in traditional Chinese and Japanese poetry, like haiku.
So I thought it might be fun to write in a old, traditional form about our traditional knives.

A haiku typically has three lines with 5-7-5 being the syllable count of said lines.
Post a picture or not, it's your choice.
Be serious or not, it's your choice.
Give it a try.
I offer two to begin:


Clip-point steel, blued blade
Little lockback 83
Traditional dream

full




Stag atop the ice
The little blade remembers
The cold of the quench
