What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Canal Street today. It’s thin blades and the edge on it make it one heck of a slicer. Not sure if it came that way or was done after leaving the factory, but it is sharp!!

Yep. When Levis changed their boot cut jeans to ride lower and be skinnier, I swore them off. Happy with my Wranglers.

I wore Sears Tough Skins through 5th grade... complete with iron-on knee patches. :)
I wore Levi's for one year in 6th grade because I told my mom that nobody wore Tough Skins any more.
I've worn Wranglers every day since then because it became my choice finally.

Beautiful woods, Joshua.
By the way, my wife is reading The Iliad right now, and I recently reread it myself. Only one complaint: there's not enough violence! :D

Which translation is your wife reading? Same for you? My first read was Fagles (verse), and this one is Rieu (prose). I'm going to try Lattimore next. One thing about the violence though; no one ever dies in the same way. Nothing like eyes falling to the ground from getting speared through the forehead. It would take quite an audience to think of war as anything other than tragic after hearing Homer read aloud.

She's reading the Fitzgerald translation, which is what I read last too. I've read Lattimore and Rieu. I may tackle Chapman's sometime, although it is centuries old. Homer is one I keep coming back to, like Moby Dick and Tom Sawyer and 1984. And Shakespeare, of course. Especially Hamlet.

You might be interested in a series of podcast episodes about Homer I've enjoyed. They are called, "A Perpetual Feast" by a couple of gents names Wes Callihan and Andrew Kern. They just sit and talk about how great Homer and his works are, and its pretty delightful to hear two guys gush intelligently over the greatest poet and poetry of the antique world.

I've got my Mike Moran eureka and my Ashley's Choice lambsfoot today. Picked some blueberries, mowed the lawn, and will be finishing up Homer's Iliad (first time reading a prose translation by Rieu) after lunch.

I have loved that book since I was a boy Joshua :) Even studying the Greek Classics at school didn't kill it for me! :D :thumbsup:

I'm very late posting today, as I've been out hiking. Hope everyone has had a great day. I had these three to hand...
