Thanks Chuck! The setup & recover was a birthday present for myself. I always know just what to get me.

How do you like that Case mini hunter?

Oh my, that's an impressive Ebony Jack. Miller Bros?

I love your choices for today Rachel! I would be perfectly happy to have that pair in my pocket today. That Copperhead is very nice, one of my favorite Case patterns! I do love an Ebony Lambsfoot!

Thank you. The Copperhead came in the Neverending Passaround Box GAW months ago, but I'm just now starting to carry it. And of course, an Ebony Lambsfoot goes with everything.

Spaten what better present than one you gift yourself. I really like the Pock Hunter, I always carry a knife in my watch pocket and this one is a little more substantial than a Peanut not by much but it is noticeable.

Black and White.

Rachel no scrimshaw on copperhead yet? I just want to thank you, my granddaughter chose the Scrimed RR Trapper that you put into the Neverending GAW Box she saw that knife and said "Mine", couldn't argue with that. she takes camping every time we go.

Thanks Harvey, all things considered, apart from the odd night, I've been sleeping pretty well recently Striking photo of your TEW



Beautiful Gev

I have one of those I think Gary, but I haven't carried it yet, not enough days in the week unfortunately

Thank you. Yes, Miller Bros. Super cheap, too, at a mall in Boukville NY. I thought I had a rare transitional one with one pin and one screw, but under magnification you can just see the second screw-slot.

It's the sort of knife that demands respect beyond camaraderie for the previous owner.

Not yet, but I'm pondering a design.
I'm so happy to hear that the trapper is being used and enjoyed. And it's extra nice to know there are young'uns out there appreciating knives and camping.

Fantastic find! Thanks for showing the blades.

Nice pair Rachel

Nice to see Zoro out for a ride again.

Thanks buddy

Good Morning Everybody and Happy Thursday

Excellent pairing there John

"Black is black, I want my baby back."

"Grey is grey, since she went away, wo wo."

"What can I do? 'Cause I I I I I I'm feelin' blue."

I'm happy to say that I, unlike some people around here, don't have too much time on my hands.

This one, really:

Very good Jer! Some great-looking knives there too

Counting knives is a grand idea Jack! But I'm afraid I'm like you my friend, no way I can remember them all! A great pairing, but you got to love that Zorro Barlow!

It's getting to the point where I have to look down to see if I remembered to put my shoes on! Thank you my friend

I've got two today. A stag Lambsfoot and a Stag Northfield #73. I hope y'all are all safe and sound this morning! (Recycled photo)

Mr trusty with me today

A knife for every pocket today and a little piece of Earth's history I found in my garden yesterday evening. Believed to be a algal mat stromatolite and fossilized roguse coral fragment, Silurian era.

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Yes. It's the best multi tool for me. Along with a lock back at work, seems to cover most things.

I've been a fan of the Leatherman wave since its introduction, I still keep one in my tool bag. However the original Leatherman PST has been around for 37 years. If a traditional multi-tool exists,it certainly would be the PST imho.

That is some advanced nerdery right there. I think I saw one of those on the Degobah System one time. Great lookin pile of knives!

Now that it looks like yall have abandoned Thrifty Thursday, I finally got on board.
My Grandad was a thrifty Scot, and this Imperial Barlow was right up his alley. You can tell by the sharpening that he used it hard and got his money’s worth.
I hated the cheap faded plastic, so rehandled it with buffalo horn. Doubt I’ll ever mess with modding a shell construction knife again.
And a Camco jack.

Bonus shot of Grandma’s Siberian iris.
She took these from Illinois when they moved to Lake of the Ozarks, then to a small Missouri farm. I brought them back to Illinois after she passed. They are at least 60 or 70 yrs old.

I have a bunch of her perennials . The Siberian iris along with a mess of bearded iris were in my back perennial border, and had become hopelessly infested with grass and creeping charlie, along with infernal wild morning glory.
Last summer I bit the bullet and dug everything out. All the perennials got taken down to bare root, and every bit of invading roots pulled out. Deep dug the bed and sifted out all the hair roots of the junk, added compost, and replanted with heavy wood chip mulch in between.
I put all the Siberians in scattered beds where I can keep the grass and weeds out. They are happy now, and we can see them again.

Thought I'd go with my trusty American jack today.

Thank you JJ. That 78 has my kind of jigging. Wonderful detailing. Beautiful color. Always a fine image.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Your Hartshead, Zorro, and fresh bread is a triple treat.

That is some advanced nerdery right there. I think I saw one of those on the Degobah System one time. Great lookin pile of knives!

Unfortunately geology isn't one of my nerd areas of expertise so I had to show it to a real rock nerd (geologist) to get that level of information.

I always have my eyes peeled for an arrowhead or weird shaped piece of chert when tilling.

Still have not found any arrowheads on my own property BUT this is my third fossil find.


Some true nerdery was taking one look and rattling off what likely limestone formation it came out of, likely age and period of formation, and where I could find an outcropping of that formation that bears similar fossils.
