Old Friends Friday

[Jack Black]

My very first GEC, and a kind gift from my dear friend Duncan 'The Legend' Campbellclanman , who I'm hoping to see soon

A couple of real old friends today, my 10 year old SAK and 25 year old S&M.

Cool Jeff

I'm already carrying 2 Lambsfoot knives today, so I thought I better pick an Old Friend that doesn't take up too much pocket space, and chose this William Rodgers Penknife. The covers are synthetic, but I find it a nice knife to use and carry

There have been times I might not have bought this because it's too small or too beaten up, but the walk-and-talk is perfect, and I love an Imperial with real handles and bolsters and pins.

Nice Jer, I'd have bought that too

I might have to drag this one out of retirement today:

Great idea Tom, what an old beauty

It's only been just over a week since I last carried this year's Guardian's Lambsfoot (thanks Barrett and Eric), but it definitely feels like I have an Old Friend back in my pocket

My first puukko, described by the seller as native American, from the artwork on the sheath, presumably.
Not to be superior about it; that's what I thought of the one Uncle Bill had left at Grandma's.
Nikolai Kivinen, 1940s.

Maybe he was related to Boring Ray Jer!

Cool old Barlow Jer, and I like your new slingshot set-up

Cool old Barlow Jer, and I like your new slingshot set-up

Thanks! I'm going to go OOT with the flip clips, though, so I can't draw the tubes through the side slits. I'll look for some finger-tightening bolts at work tomorrow.

Sorry for missing this until now Jer, I hope you've been having fun with your slingshot (nice pic there) I had a short session last night, and realised I need to get back into practicing regularly

My first always and everywhere be-all and end-all knife, probably 1974. Not a bad choice even today.

Its original scabbard is housing my sheathless OKC Seneca, which is too broad to fit in the new sheath.

A classic Jer Can you remember how much you paid for it in 1974?

It seems like an age since I last carried my Charlie Lamb, which is definitely an Old Friend



Been an age trying to post too

I believe I will go back to the Case 6375 in my pocket, for at least the weekend ... tho TBH it is tempting to go with the Robeson 622110 large jack knife.

I have a "feeling" I will not be able to pick just one from the contenders for my 2024 KOTY ... even if I break it down to a KOTY by pattern.
Just in the Stockman category, I have five strong contenders that are neck and neck. They all check all the boxes to be my choice.

That looks like a well loved and well used knife there.
