Great idea! There is a thread going that states "favorite" mug in the title, but I don't think that's a hard rule.

Thread 'Favorite Coffee Mug and Traditional Knife'

Aug 5, 2018

So many of us here post pictures of our knives posed next to our morning coffee mugs. You know we all have our favorite mugs, so let's see them.

My son is a lover of tea (and all things British) and we go back and forth about it all the time. I told him there's a reason Americans drink COFFEE. He bought me this mug on one of his trips. It remains my favorite because of it's sentimental value and because it's just a great mug.

No offense to our British Porch members, it's all in good fun

Nice, that's starting to look like an ancient.

It’s definitely losing its shine on the blade. I still carry it in a slip so the bolster looks clean.

Blustery day here today, with threats of bad weather overnight
The whittler is still serving well.

Attempting to divine the source of my coolant leak on this Grand Cherokee. I'll pressure test it later and probably end up taking the whole front side of the car off. Chrysler engineers are....creative in that way.

16 days in already, and spring is springing here.

I think its time this one gets some pocket time. I'll try to do 30 days.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Well I've failed. Lol..

It's a really nice knife but it's just a pain in the ass to open readily. Definitely more of a fancy weekend knife.

I'm going to take a mulligan and knock the shine off of this three dot case. 30 days. No problem here. It's a dream.

Busy weekend so here's a few random pictures.

Should have gotten a picture of the 34 helping with moving a fridge. Tiny apartment doors and modern fridges don't mix very well. Had to remove the refrigerator doors, and even then it barely fit through. (Completely non-ADA compliant)

I've been close myself. Waking up in the morning looking over at the dresser and having to resist the urge to grab something else.

Haha, I was close this weekend. I received three new ones in the mail on Friday, but thankfully they're back in the mail off to their new owners.
Hopefully I'll have a new 77 barlow in time for April's carry. It'll be a special one for my birthday month.

 

[Honest_Thomas]

must be something in the air.
I came so damn close this weekend , in my defence I did have my whole collection laid out for a wipe down while I gave the display case a once over, so ya know, understandable…..

But, I’m still ere..

After day 2, some slight patina after cutting my sandwiches in half that didnt need to be cut. After 2 days it feels like the sheepsfoot should be where the punch is, but i suppose I'll get used to it.

 

[TheJon]

Probably would have gotten closer with a pair of calipers, but eh close enouogh for just eyeballing it

 

[Oldy]

H Honest_Thomas Nice candidate that. I have the same excuse re. birthday but poverty stricken after new incomers plus I don't allow non knife friends to give me knives...you never know what their good intentions might come up with....

Won't take part in this thread myself as I'm happy with the balance between users and 'exhibits' in my hoard, but look forward to others' contributions

Your better than that,you reppin Finland like dat,come on will.

Lots of boxes and a couple oranges today.

Man, these are the best oranges I've had in forever.
