All About Pocket Knives

Loving your Bull Dog Mel. The covers look to be ivory.

I've always thought that nature is a fine artist, I just add a knife and take credit!

Charlie you are as good a wordsmith as you are a photographer.

Couple of fine lookin' knives, Mel!!! I love the burnt log too, great shots!

Here's the shot from our walk today...

Thanks Doglegg. That's a polite way of saying I know how to run off at the mouth, right?

I have sometimes looked, really looked, at just one leaf and thought that if I could produce a piece of work as beautiful as that leaf, then I would be proud to claim the title artist!


One man's partially burnt log is another man's artistic canvas, right?

Beauties both, love the Bulldog. Mmmmmmmnnnnnnnn.

Keen Kutter in the weeds.

Thanks for the kind words, fellows.

QS - the covers on that Bulldog are white. That is what the person I bought it from said, and that is what I say!

Great photo, Charlie. What is that flower blooming in the background?

Ivoryman - that is some nice old bone on the Keen Kutter. Old bone and old steel with a patina like that is hard to beat.

Thanks Mel. I'm not sure what those little flowers are. My neighbor, who does a lot of gardening, calls them Blue Bells. They grow wild all around here every spring.

Nice Keen Kutter Ivoryman!!! Nice pic as well, weeds need love too!

Looks like the first stage of Dandelion wine to me...

Great shots Paul!

Looks similar to my kit back when I was doing the Buckskinning/Rendezvous thing. Had a lot of fun with that.

If you love frontiersmen, primitive skills, and reading you should check out The Book of Buckskinning series from Muzzleloader Magazine (I have volumes 1 through 5, there may be more). They contain a great deal of "how to" information on primitive skills used to live and trade on the frontier. I think you'll enjoy them.

Took the newbie on our walk today.

That's one nice Canoe. The more I see yours, the more I think I need to hunt one down (maybe for my "significant years" collection).

Thanks Dan.

It's a large canoe (or gunboat) lock back, 4 1/2" closed. I found this one on ebay.

I didn't notice it was a lock back until you pointed it out. Very cool!

It makes for good company on your walk.

Great stag and I don't see a lot of Canoes that are Lbacks. Cooooooool. Nice photo too.

Thank you gentlemen!

That's a great photo. I'll have to see if I can do something similar when my new mug arrives.

Fresh coffee and a quality knife, that's a fine combination! Nice pic JTX!
