All About Pocket Knives

Need a little help now and again, so I carved up this guy. He don't have a name yet...

Say, Pard, hand me that knife, will ya?

Self portrait??

Maybe we should have a contest to name him. The winners prize, could be your undying gratitude.

In the form of one of those GECs you're always showing us.

Barry - That is exceptional !!
Very nice job of lightly coloring some of his features, top shelf stuff.

(I had a hard time looking past the knife for the first few minutes...... )

Thanks IM! Jerry, you're right. He does look a little like me... especially with that firearm.

Here he is ready to ride shotgun:

Wow, nice work Barry!
Reminds me of Carvin’ Don’s rendering of Johnnie Fain a bit.
Excellent carving!

Not at carvin' you don't!!!! Great Job Barry, sure would like to stop by your place and sit and carve with you ...

Thanks for postin' this Wrangler

That would be awesome, Don. If only it wasn't, what, 3,000 miles? DANG! Someday I will make it a point to come visit some of you boys back east.

I had some fun with this guy and only cut myself XXX times! Nice thing, though; those cuts from a sharp knife heal real quick! I bought one of them protective gloves, but seems like cheatin' to wear it.

Shuks...I'd rather head out yer way! Beautiful country out there ... Maybe one day...

Yer right 'bout them cuts from a sharp tool...nice and clean! ... still can hurt, but clean and easier to stop the bleedin'.

I'm embarassed to say...but I wear one of them gloves when I'm carvin' in my home...especially when workin' on a real tegious place, like toes on a hillbilly...I've cut myself twice bad, both times carvin' with the grain, very small/shallow spot and popped the toe off and blade into forefinger funny thing is, even if I had had a glove on , it wouldn't stop a puncture, just a slice... I have learned to slow down.

Keep on carvin' and I look forward to your future works of art

Excellent Barry! Simply excellent! The carvings you and Don do just blow me away!

Thanks, Smokey!

Magnificent! Great work. Great craft.

Outstanding, Barry.
