I'm several days behind, but I'm going to try to catch up, kind of.
ETA: Well, that was very frustrating!! When I originally tried to submit this post, I was told that I had to stay under 10000 characters. I found an online app that would count characters for me, started cutting, and periodically re-submitting. But I was still getting the "too big" error even when I was down to 7K characters according to my counter. Cut some more, and finally got a new error: can't post more than 20 photos (or did it say images). Finally got it to go after chopping out more content.
Very busy day all day starting out at the YMCA and have to use some poor older pictures but had these little guys in my pockets . Case Peanut & Baby Butterbean
Harry
Small, but smashing, Harry!
Those walnut Rogers bone Cases with the quad threading are a superlative series!
... I tend to just grab, pocket, and pay!
...
A motto to live by, and a picturesque photo in the same post!
Thanks, Jack!
Rachel, your white Keen Kutter usually grabs my attention, but that stag BF knife stole the show in this post!
Same thing goes for Paul's Forum knife; simply superb!!
...
That old NYKC with bar shield and tip bolsters is the epitome of class, Jeff!
...
It's soooooo nice to have a smaller secondary blade on a scout.
Totally agree, Buzz!
That's one of the main reasons I'm such a fan of red celidor SAKs, even if the second blade is usually just a small pen.
Victory! I got the pic to post. ...
Congrats, rishma!!
Are you getting consistent success now?
That Gem would fit right in at the famous diamond markets of Antwerp, Belgium, Ron!
...
Andi, I'd forgotten how many notable classic knives you have!! Top-notch SBJ!
...
Wilson I love seein' them Yellow Rose knives, how many different patterns did they do? I recall a Trapper but I could be mistaken. Always reminds me of the trip to Texas I made with the Mrs the year before we got married. It was the first time we had spent 24 hrs a day with each other and no one else for 10 days. We figured if we didn't kill each other in 10 day with only each other for company, we'd be ready for marriage. We came close a few times but that was 35 years ago so I guess the proof was in the pudding.
We suffered multiple truck problems, the truck bein' hit by lightning, floods in Huston dead battery in Texarkana, luckily we had a motorcycle chained to the back of the truck
. Unluckily the key to the case hardened lock and hardened chain was 1,300 miles back home in Jersey.

Ted, you spin the most engaging yarns!!
Sounds like the unabridged version of the story of that Texas trip would be a fascinating hour!
Fantastic Farmer, Flatblackcapo!! Maybe my favorite Alox model, but I currently don't seem to have one!
...
Pocketing these two IXLs today
Praiseworthy pair of I*XLs, Jack!
The first fruit of the Spring Harvest:
And a new knife ready for patina-ing:
Rachel, you've posted a captivating couple of knives, too!
Congrats on your gardening!
Eggplant?
JK mini-CBK and 2 Case knives for today.
Mtblair, that chestnut jigged bone Peanut and bone stag Sowbelly are captivating Cases!
Is this the knife whose cover colors you and Alan have discussed? FWIW, I think that smooth rich brown is outstanding!
...
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Carrying my Davison today
As always, your Davison is stupendous, Jack!
However, the contents of those jars looks like a matter for concern!
This lock back whittler from Joel Chamblin(CTS-XHP, gold pins, stag) is with me this morning,
Enjoy your Sunday folks
Kris, it's great to have you back posting more regularly again!
Your knives are such treasures!
That's one of my favorites of yours, Alan (and it isn't even stag
)!
This past week, I've been using this Remington Big Daddy Barlow in the kitchen to the exclusion of all other knives (thanks, Shawn). It's been working exceptionally well for food prep, but I have to admit it feels a little like going with the nuclear option for garden pests - more knife than is really needed for most of my kitchen tasks!
