Thanks Jack.

I'm glad you got a chance to carry your Swayback Jack, they're great knives!
Case has me thinking I'm gonna need one of their Swayback Gents in their soon-to-be Sycamore series.

That sounds nice, I have a Sycamore in my garden

Oh my! That is beautiful. I love small knives, don’t see many 22 mags. That’s another knife I like to own some day.

Thanks Todd. I bought that little beauty off of JohnDF a couple years back for my wife's collection.

I haven't carried this one since last summer, I don't think. It might even be longer... In the pocket for Old Friends Friday

Carried this Gerber LST 400 almost everyday for 20yrs on the job
Used but never abused
Tossed in a drawer in 2006 when I retired, in favor of prettier knives
Old friend? ... yes sir

That looks to be in great condition Jim

I came across this in a drawer earlier. Someone gave it me some years ago, but I've never carried it, or previously photographed it. Think I'll give it a scrub!

Not the oldest of friends, but Blackadder doesn't get as much carry as plain old Rose Beast. Old black friend Hochmut Friday:

Received this little Parker Cutlery as a Christmas gift from an old girlfriend’s parents in 1981. At the I had never seen such a small knife, this might be the one that got me liking small knives (of course I like normal and big knives also!). It’s actually a really nice knife with very detailed scrimshaw, certainly an old friend.

This 73 is only 8 years old but it's been a favorite since day one.

As you now know , 73s tend to cause those kind of reactions my friend .

That looks like an interesting book Jer Goes nicely with your 2018 Guardians Ebony

Cool that you still have that one

 

[PointyThings]

This one turned up as I was unpacking from my recent move. A Buck Lancer purchased from a Woolco department store around 1979-80, when I was a freshman in high school. I made the leather slip for it while going through my saddlestitching phase around the same time.

Carried it through high school and part of college.

Sorry for the cell phone photo.

Thanks Jack, even my wife is cool with it!

That's a very nice one. The Parker and National Blades knives had real hand-done scrimshaw, as far as I can tell. They used to sell them at Pipe World stores in the mall, and I had an old boyfriend who gave me a couple similar little knives. I'll have to pull one out for an Old Friends Friday one of these weeks.

Thank you! They must be old boyfriend/girlfriend knives. I’ll be looking for it.
