Old Friends Friday

[screened porch]

I've had this a long time. Maybe it's time to try carrying it and using it.

 

[Jack Black]

This goes back to 1974 at least.

Thank you Jer

Carrying an Old Friend I should pocket more often

only 13 years old but still I consider the 55 my "old friend" indeed

 

[echoscout]

This old friend Camillus 72 is my favorite 72. I got a lot of 72's. From very early to last production stuff. But this one is the one that I carried a lot several years ago.

RALF is back in pocket after a brief respite.

Charlie waynorth has authored some fantastic knives, and this is one of his finest in my opinion. I always enjoy carrying it

I agree with you Jack about Waynorth authored knives... they're quite special. Your nautical example is outstanding!
Here's another one of Charlie's fantastic offerings. For me it most assuredly fits the theme of Old Friends

Thank you very much James, that's a beautiful Old Friend

More of an old acquaintance. I thought it was going to be the ONE, but it never really resonated for me.

It's a single spring.

I don't think Kelly McGillis would accuse it of Hochmut. (I've forgotten the name of that movie. Witness?)

Yes, I think it was Witness Jer! Interesting pattern, reminds me of the BF Buck!

It seemed like an awful lot of handle (almost 4") for not much blade (almost 2.5" main), but this is coming from the guy who complains when short blades are given short handles, so go figure.

Maybe I'll peel the handle off this and put some glue under it, then paint it. Or glue something else on instead. It works a lot better than it looks.
I don't know where or when I got it, or even how long it's been by my TV chair.

Interesting idea Jer

I stuck my lovin' '44 beneath my head

A kind gift to me from Duncan Campbellclanman , when we met up in York a few years back

I use sheets of adhesive vinyl from the crafts store for that. I think it is meant for sign lettering - anyway it sticks really well and seems very durable. I haven’t carried my recovered knives too much, but they have held up so far against the keys and whatnot that ride in the same pocket.

Edit:
I feel like we have had this exchange before. This and the bank blade thing too

Handsome knife Jack and a clever tip of the hat to Johnnie Cash.

Pity my grey hairs!
I think you're right on both counts.
This time maybe I'll remember the sheet vinyl ploy long enough to try it.

 

[Old Hunter]

This 6207 yesterday and today. OH

Whenever I want to tell my teenaged daughter a story, I ask “did I ever tell you about the time when…”, and the answer is invariably “YES !”

Thank you very much my friend
