I haven't carried this IXL Serpentine Jack in a while

 

[redsparrow]

Serpentine Jacks do make good companions and French Ivory looks good on that one.
The patina and shield wear give it tons of character. Enjoy your old friend today Jack!

I'm gonna carry this one from Italy. It gets out quite often but it's been awhile.
One can say whatever they want about it's construction... I simply say they're really well built.

Thank you very much my friend

My grandmother’s old fish knife that she left to me when she passed years ago. I used it when I was younger, but it’s too special to use anymore.

What a fantastic heirloom

Thanks Jack, lots of great memories in that knife. I would be devastated if anything ever happened to it, so it stays in the case.

I was looking for my chocolate-colored Camillus small jack. I found these instead. A. Field & Co/ Progress pen, and a sad old Camillus peanutoid with cracked celluloid handles and a worn out spring. Pretty handles, though.

Nice Jer, I don't recall seeing either of those before

Thanks.
No, they've been in the basement for I don't know how long. They're both smaller than I like.

Two old friends and companions. The Buck 110 I received from my parents back in 1982 when I was 12, and the Kissing Crane stiletto I bought when I was 16. Both have seen a lot of use for all manner of cutting chores. The stiletto I carried daily from the age of 16 through 31, it's now long retired, but I still use the 110.

I bought this Buck when I was 17. I gave it to my brother when I decided I needed more knife than this and I switched to a 317. He returned it to me recently, but I still haven't been able to resurrect any memories with it.

I've been pining for my first #66 recently Also the first GEC I bought

I'm still looking for that chocolate-brown Camillus jack. This Gebr. Hoppe of Solingen has been around a while too, though.

Speaking of smaller than I like.

That is a neat looking little stockman!

Thanks. Luscious covers, I think.

The first two years I owned this knife I frequently thought to myself, "Best knife made in the Western Hemisphere!".
Now I simply say, "Always happy to pocket this good ol' friend."

That's an incredible piece of cutlery

Thank you Jack. I'm fortunate to have one of the twenty seven made, especially since I spent about a week deciding between two ebonys that were available. Things sure have changed.
