Old Friends Friday

[screened porch]

She certainly is my friend I love the blade shape, and find it very useful. The stock is thin, which makes it very slicey!

And it has back-up springs!
Dad's little Colonial loaner:

I wonder how far back it went with him.

Pulled this out to give it a once-over. Nice and small but mighty. Gifted to me by my dad around 50 years ago.

It's been a while since I last carried this beefy Maserin Plow, gifted to me by my old friend Pàdruig

I could figure out how old this is by looking for its first appearance on BF, but I've had it a while.

Great choice today guys! Here's a unsung little worker from Switzerland. Big enough to grip securely (even with gloves on) yet it is so light it's a joy to carry and proven to, "slice like the dickens."

That's interesting Jer, do you know where it's made?

Thanks James, your Old Friend looks like a hard worker

This old Boker makes its way back into my pocket from time to time. The little Keen Kutter, too.

This one feels like an old friend.... the first GEC I ever bought. It's definitely a keeper.. and gets to ride along about once a week or so. The best style of jack knife IMHO, with the nail nicks on the same side.

I think it was made at the farm where I bought it. That was a very cool estate sale. I bought a wooden-works clock out of a niche in the wall that was probably built for it.
And the handle of the knife probably was part of an interior partition in the barn.
