I think your old cattle knife is in fine company.

I love this jack.
And I really need to go fishing soon!

This one for me today:

Took a day off to head into the mountains and do a little shooting with an old gun, newer gun and a Schrade Walden in my pocket

Nice lever gun, what is she (and what vintage)?

Thanks Gary, I really like it, very thin in the hand. I think it was partly to blame for yesterday’s mini copperlock purchase!

Todd, it's hard enough to resist the allure of other people's knives, but when our own knives make us want to go buy other knives, we don't stand a chance!

These two Cases caught my eye today.

Glamour shot of a couple of gorgeous bone Cases, JJ!

...
hey Gary—yes, that Behring Made Woodcraft is just the perfect size... big, but not unmanageable for carving. At 4 3/4”, the blade is phenomenally versatile, and the grind and tempering is outstanding. Those curls are the result of a fair amount of practice over the years, and an exquisite tool.

Thanks for the additional info, Tony.

No, Señor. But I did buy an stainless Opinel No. 8 with walnut handle for my daughter.

You're a good dad, Vince!

Thanks guys! Urban birds (wild but too close to people) are like Jekyll-Hyde, very different personalities. Wild birds will be a gone ghost if they see a human 400 yards away. OH

Thanks for talking turkey with us, Bruce! Did you have any luck when you were out earlier this week?

Messing around working on a few things in the garage with this one today:

Man, that is a classy classic!

Good on you, Gary, a 7 mile trek is some good exercise.

I carried these two this Sunday. Recovered in rosewood Pal cattle punch and a smooth bone Fight'n Rooster copperhead.

Couple of show-stoppers there, Greg!
I've walked at least 6 miles all but 5 days since March 11, 2020. Enjoyable exercise, and essential for my mental health, too.

Too many difficult knives lately
Monday is recovery Monday
Smooth & Easy ... Thank you Buck 500

That Buck is very elegant (especially compared to your thumbs )!

A pleasure Gary Interesting question, I reckon so

Thanks buddy

How are you getting on with using the carbon Rough Riders Gary? I've not seen that Folding Hunter over here, though RR's are a good deal more expensive. I'd hoped they'd do more carbon steel knives, but maybe I'm just not seeing them. The double nicks/pulls, together with all the other bells and whistles are a bit 'busy' for me, it'd be nice to see them do a nice, simple, carbon steel Sodbuster for example Good to see the Silver Bullet!

I like the carbon Rough Riders very much, Jack. They seem quite similar to Case CV steel to a non-expert like me; the patina actually reminds me more of the patina that develops on the Guardians lambsfoot knives. I agree with you that having some less "ornate" options from RR would be desirable.

Hope everyone has a good week I'm starting mine off with a Waynorth Lambsfoot, and a small Ibberson Yachting Knife for Metal Monday

That Waynorth always makes me swoon, and the "Yachting knife" sounds quite posh!
I suppose all you Brits have the sea in your blood, and I remember singing about you in particular when I was a lad:
Sailing, Sailing
Over the bounding main
Where many a stormy wind will blow
Ere Jack comes home again.

Still not quite sure of the etymology of "bounding main".

5K Qs you’re welcome Gary. No, they are just now firing up, too many hens yet to be bred, I think next week will be more productive (hope it will be!). Worked one hard for nearly an hour and a half but never could get him to commit to being shot. OH

Thanks, GT. I love the lines on that pattern, and Case’s chestnut jigged bone is always top notch
