Jack's Random Tuesday Carry

[screened porch]

I just realized I've taken pictures of two knives for random Tuesday, but they'd both work as old friends, too.

Schizoid jack came up first.

The blades are so perfect, I've hated to put wear on them, but for whom am I preserving them? And as hard as I use my many knives, how much wear are they going to have to take?
But I've preserved them for myself long enough for me to come to my senses.

Nice Tom! Is that a Zuava?

They call it a Zuavo, yes . If that model is particular to this manufacturer or a well-known pattern, I don’t know.

Thanks Tom, I had one by Maserin a few years ago, nice knife. Carl JackKnife won it in a giveaway I ran

One of my three spearpoint Barlows, a Kutmaster. I don't know if it was a mistake by Utica or if the companies were related.

Nice! I have a couple of those, but they're both broken.

Too bad about the point on this one.

The upper point was above the liners, so I finally took it down a bit.

Nice. I think I have one of those in celidor. That three-purpose secondary is great.

Thanks Jer, I don't know why they don't use it across the range, particularly as can-openers are used less

Is it Tuesday?! I always lose track of the days around Christmas! Random pick today is this Schrade Barlow

Nice. It gave me the idea to dip into my surplus Barlows in the basement, but that wouldn't have been as random as this, which was also closer:
I have two of these; this is the one with a cleaner main edge but a harder pull on the pen.

That's sweet Jer Reminds me of this Camillus I was gifted by Mr paulhilborn

These EOs remind me, I would get the Rosecraft EO lambsfoot, except the swedging is over-elaborate for my taste, and why a skull shield?
I suppose I could pretend it's a bowling ball shield, or pick it out and glue it back upside down.

LOL! Yes, it wasn't really to my taste

Got this Solar locking Barlow from around 1970 today. Pen blade acts as the lock release

 

[screened porch]

I've never encountered that sort of lock in person.
I probably bought this one for its full main blade and pullable short blades.


Or the deluxe construction:
