Thank you, Jack. An exceptional pair you have with you today. I hope that caplifter gets a lot of use over the weekend.
...
That is quite the introduction to GEC! Seeing pics of the 85 Harness Jack is what got me to start visiting the Porch on a regular basis.
Thanks for the info, Travman. I instantly did a search and was surprised to see what some of the older ( 40's and earlier ) are going for. I saw one for almost a thousand!
Beautiful ol' barehead!
Now that is cool!
A rainy day
It's a IXL Woestenholm....old. The pods and husks are from trees in a flood zone. Don't know the names but they are all over the place.
Two tremendous treasures, Jack!
Revered red pocket knife! (Canivete vermelho?)
Thanks, Ron. I like that stag/sawcut pair!
Such an evocative photo, Gev!!
Thanks, Dylan; the Sanremu and other knives in the "bailed non-SAK" category, show up about every 18 weeks, so you may well have missed earlier appearances. Your red sawcuts form a notable pair!
Wishing you propitious piscatorial pursuits on the Potomac, Stuart!
Thanks, Dean. I need to post my "country of origin count" in the recent relevant thread. Spectacular spear #14!!
Yowza! Congrats, Wayne & Jeff, and another couple of fantastic refurbishes by Glenn!!
Thanks for posting that pair again, Harry; my eyes love to witness the two TEWs!
Nice knives and dog, Jeff.
Congrats on the Klein linesman knife, HnS!! Some kind of Klein work knife is on my list of knives to track down.
Lovely Laguiole, @blanco112 !

Not much forum time today. I've been on a ladder painting in our kitchen with these Ohta's in my pocket. My wife coerced me with the promise of going out for a nice prime rib dinner. It always works.....
Mom's coming to visit next week, so I've got lots to do around the house today. Sweeping and laundry mostly, but I may as well outfit myself as though I'm maintaining a ranch.

Also the alox electrician, but it doesn't wish to focus this morning. I mean even compared to this shot.
Fantastic pics Gev, your IXL is a dream I don't know much about these things, but have always wondered if those pods were Laburnum, not common (here at least) because of their toxicity, but we had a laburnum tree in our yard/garden (not much bigger than my kitchen table) when I was a kid
Thanks GT, nice line-up my friend, and very generous of Barrett, cool pattern
Hope you had a great dinner Gary Stunning Ohtas
I had these with me on my hike yesterday - no wonder I felt tired when I got home!

Have a great Sunday folks
I'll try and figure it out. It is a small tree. I will look up laburnum and report back. Now that is a lot of knives to carry...good exercise !!
Yes, its not that one. It is a rather bland small tree in the flood zone only. It must prefer wet conditions. I'm off into Milam County to pick blackberries, I hope. Just a stop on my delivery drive . Have a great day everyone !! The Continental will be in my pocket. I hope to get pictures of it in the wildThey're are probably lots of trees with seed pods like that, but the laburnum is the only one I know of. That doesn't mean much though!
As a kid we would play with the poisonous pods of the laburnum, which scattered our yard. Not sure why my folks didn't replace it. The flowers can look nice, but the trunk was going rotten, and crumbling, even when they moved in

Every time I see your old Continental I'm itching to take a walk into some primeval forest. That stag is just amazing!Yes, its not that one. It is a rather bland small tree in the flood zone only.
