What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Will Power]

I'm sure there are others here that have knives that they really like but never get them out for some reason or another. Here's 3 of mine getting some daylight during a break in the today's much-needed rain.

The Black Box version of the Coffin Jack always a great knife to see Opens out nice & straight too. Very glad I have one in my cache as well.

Thanks, Will

Pioneer (see Pt-Luso 's on the previous page to see what mine used to look like before it got scraped up), Camillus 72, and a little Klein Utility Jack I re-scaled in elk.

A couple more fall colored plants from my palatial estate.
Red Twig Dogwood ~

European Buckthorn. This is an invasive species, and I've removed most of it because it's an invasive species ~

Temp in the 50's with heavy overcast today. No plans today. Probably watch the Nascar race or the World Series this evening.

A cool and rainy day here in the City by the Bay. Staying home and watching football mostly until the World Series later. As a lifelong Giants fan I just can’t root for the $$Dodgers. In the meantime keeping me company with a nod to Stag Saturday a lamb and a tooth pick. Have a great weekend folks!

Raining and raising up a ruckus this morning with high winds - snow possible later. I've been carrying a different Sowbelly knife each day this week and I'm closing out the week with this wood covered Black Curly Maple Sowbelly. Sausage and biscuits for breakfast.

I dig it! Very nice! Let’s see it opened?

Mrs. Crappie and I carried the #86 and #72 on a trip to Fort Ashby WV today to buy these new rods. Mrs. Crappie has been researching them online for awhile now and found this store where we could actually see and handle what we were wanting to buy, so we made the 2 1/2 hour (one way) trip there. The store reminds me of the ones back in the day and is owned and run by a heck of nice family. Plus it was a beautiful Fall day to take a road trip. If you’re ever in that area and need any fishing or hunting supplies, you should definitely look them up!

You can probably tell which rods are Mrs. Crappie’s and which are mine.

Switched to the city stock today. Great autumn coloring in the bone.

Cool but sunny in San Diego. ("cool" means "60's")
Got a project going in the back yard today. This Buck is lending a hand.

One on right most far reminds me of my 1989 KHS Montana Summit (lugged quad butted steel frame ), wearing the then KHS factory racing colors.
From front it looks raspberry/hot pink.

Fom the side it don't.

I've only put around 60,000 miles on it (additional miles on my other bikes, and post 2003 my first trike, when in Florida, Iowa, and other states when resetting my weekly clock when driving the expedited box truck) since 2002.
The trailer (dual kiddy hauler modified to cargo hauler) comes in handy for groceries, other shopping, laundry, and carrying camping fishing, and archery gear.
Before my stoke murdered those intentions, I was intending to ride it down the Great Divide trail, then take the southern cross country route to the Florida Atlantic coast, then the Atlantic Coast route north to Maine, then the northern cross country route west to Washington and the Pacific Ocean, then take the Louis& Clark trail back to Idaho, after I retired.
I wasn't going to rush it, maybe take a couple years of my retirement for the ride.
I even got rid of everything "Shimano" (except the oval crank rings) replacing it with Sun Tour, Sachs, and Dia Comp, and upgraded to 3x7 gearing from 3x6, in preparation for that ride. (also added fenders, "slicks", 3 water bottle cages, rear rack, and other things for touring.) My racing days have been over since before 1974.
Oh well. Maybe in the next "life" ...
