Harvest Time Knives!!

[tendots]

Jerry,they're Assendelfters,a rare and old Dutch breed.A few centuries older than Welsummers.

I guess me and Josh are the only ones doing any harvesting this summer?

Oh well, going to try to keep it alive here....The good earth yielded up these fine crops today, with the assistance of my Mini Grip of course!
First three red tomatoes of the year for me...yes they are tiny little cherry toms, but it's a start!

[tank]

My latest Harvester.

[313 Mike]

Nice looking Harvester Tank!

Love those grey scales, very understated, but cool and classy...That small hawkbill blade is a great option on that knife, would be a perfect beansnipper!

OK guys, we are well into harvest season now, let's breath some life into this thread and post up some pics! I wanna see what the good earth is giving up to my knifin' buds around the country...and world!
Here's todays harvest...

A few cherry tomatoes, a bunch of green beans, some jumbo jalapenos, a couple baby onions... a bucket of oversize pickles....and Sofia with her favorite out of the garden, freshly yanked carrots!

[313 Mike]

Welllllllll ok then.
Guess nobody wants to show and tell... ....I suppose I'll just let this thread die on it's own then. For some reason I thought there were some folks here that might want to show off some fresh veg but I guess not!

I'll just gather up my produce and go home then.

Took this pic before heading into work this morning. A few cucumbers, zucchini, gourds that my wife likes to decorate with, squash, and tomatoes, and my old IXL. Was my dad's before it was mine and was someone else's before his. Used but not abused. Still snaps hard open and shut on both blades. Has logged a lot of miles in the pockets of its owners I am sure.

[313 Mike]

Hey alright! Nice harvest there bkazz5...I like those big ol' gnarly looking tomatoes, they seem to pack alot of flavor! And that's a great lookin' old barlow there too, man that pen blade is a sliver! Very cool that you are continuing the history of an old family heirloom and attaching new memories to it, gotta keep on keepin' on!
