Merry Christmas to all!
Goin' small today. Ohta "Small Camper" and a City Knife from Eldon Talley.
Neither one has been taken to the "Work Sharp". Yet.
I'm still practicing on kitchen knives. All in good time grasshopper.
Superb pic of your magnificent knives and intriguing machinery, Gary!
This Castillo Torre is a birthday present from my brother, and a new brand to me. Have only been playing with it for a day but it is a really nice lock back, and came screaming sharp with a nice fine grained sharpening stone.
Congrats on the new Spanish birthday knife, Tom!!
Fabulous photo of a fine pair of knives, José; feliz Natal!
Toting a couple wood covered slicers from GEC, orange osage and ebony.
Nice color combo with your ebony and osage orange, JJ!
Fitting tribute, Gev!
Near Miss: Yesterday I received a package from a good friend. During Christmas season we generally exchange wine or food. Well, in the package yesterday I found a bottle of wine. I sent him a text to thank him today, and he asks “did you see what else was in there“? Well, I hadn’t – I assumed the wine was the only item in the box. I went to my recycle where I had placed the packing box and in the bottom behind newspaper used as packing I found this:
One day earlier and this would have been on its way to the recycling plant!
Yikes!
Congrats on the Handsome Henckels Barlow; I've really enjoyed your recent series of "knives among the Christmas decorations" shots!
For Wooden Wednesday, as I walked through the woods, I carried these two: CSC 2015 BladeForums knife in Mexican Bocote and Buck 503.

Superb woods on your knives in the superb woods, Dean!
Satisfying seasonal shot, Vince!
I've been enjoying all your seasonal Latin sig lines, too!
Thank you, Gary. It's hard to get a good dreidel game going over zoom, but I had a pleasant Hanukah, nonetheless.
Merry Christmas to you!
Here's a dreidel for the millennials:
Thanks, Rachel.
Your stag lambsfoot is timeless; it goes well with dreidels from any era!
Haha. Yeah I'd be suspicious about that too. Maybe I should get one of those pocket pry bars to lend instead of my knife.
Maybe you'll get one for Christmas!
Sublime photo of your supermodel stag HHB, Bill!
The Crane is still riding along for Christmas Eve...
Congrats on that eye-catching stag jack with the PDA Herons, John!
