Old Friends Friday

[TheChunk91]

My trusty old shapleigh that I’ve been carrying continuously for quite a while now, and the abilene stockman that I bought new when they were still on the shelves. Wonderful knives.

This 34OT definitely qualifies as an old friend

This is the Camillus pen that magically appeared almost seven years ago when I was snow-blowing at the old house.

I only got this Old Friend at the beginning of the year, but I haven't carried it in a while, so it's nice to have it with me again. Certainly a treasured knife

That's a good-looking knife James, nice photo

The perfect pocket knife. It doesn’t leave my side.

Thanks Jack. I like Case's Half Whittlers especially their Humpback 1/2 Whittlers. I been waiting for that one to loosen up, it has a bit stronger pull than I need on a small knife. Here's another old friend. One that has near perfect pull and...

a kind of unique acrylic. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.

Nice James, I have that same knife, I think they called it Jungle Camo? Not sure, but in the sun it really lights up.

It is Jack. Thanks.

Yes, I believe you are right, Jungle Camo Green. Looks like what GEC used it on their Churchill and called it hummingbird acrylic. It's hard to show in a photograph but looks pretty cool in hand. Do you know if Case's Humpback Half Whittler was a vault release? I don't see 'em around anymore.

I don’t James, the only vault releases I can think of off the top of my head are the doctor’s knife, barlow, pocket hunter, and of course the copperhead. I’m sure someone can remember more. I saw a peach seed humpback posted earlier today by Mike mbkr in the newest addition thread.

This Trestle Pine Superior has been "riding" around with me for many years now.

Mom gave me this Imperial at the old house, somewhere between ten and twenty years ago. Probably around thirteen years ago.

Warm, smooth ebony and having been made into a clip makes this a comfortable Old Friend.

Keep 'em sharp!
