This knife is very special to me. Haven't owned it for a long time but with the help of Jack and Charlie C (Waynorth) I was able to snag it. Thank you gentlemen.

This 108OT was my favorite knife for many years. The clip blade spring, which was never very good, kept getting weaker until finally the blade wouldn't stay completely shut in my pocket. After I stabbed myself on the tip several times while putting my hand in my pocket, I converted the blade into a rather amateurish Wharncliffe, which at least solved the stabbing problem. I finally retired it and haven't carried it in several years, but I put it back in my pocket today for Old Friends Friday.

I've only had this knife a few months and this is the 1st time I've carried it. Although I'm just getting to know this particular knife I feel a connection and know that the knife and I one day will be old friends. It dates to the year I turned 16 and that was a big moment in my life. It also says old grand dad on it's shield and blade etch which I can relate to since I am one now.View attachment 1203577View attachment 1203580

Dennis, you have a good Missus

Nearing the end of another year. Don't want to forget about old friends.
So gathering up an early 60s Python revolver that had not been exercised in awhile and some fresh ammo we went for a short winter's walk. Accompanying me along with the Colt was a Tidioute Trapper from 2013.
Enjoyed the clear, cold but sunny skies, did a little plinking and got reacquainted... it was good for the heart.

Have a wonderful weekend all.

I wouldn't call myself a collector, but more of an "accumulator." As such, I keep accumulating knives, but the old friends like the Churchill eventually end up back in my pocket.

Sounds like an amazing day, James.

It's been a long while since I carried this old IXL Sheepsfoot. Of course I'd like it a lot more if it was a Lambsfoot, but I still think it's a pretty nice knife Thought I'd slip it in my pocket for Old Friends Friday

You stock-marketeers will understand this reference, it's a Triple Witching Friday. Old Friends Friday, Black Friday, and Friday the 13th.

I bought the Ulster in 1961 and it was my EDC until 2003 and the Taylors Eye Witness may be my Oldest Knife .

Thanks John. I'm guessing any hour afield is an hour well spent.
Sure has been some interesting old friends introduced today, thanks for sharing them gentlemen.

I had a busy day today but felt my 34OT deserved some pocket time.
