I sure like worn Stag!! Nice!!

At least one blade is a Spear!! Terry Davis Coffin Moose from 2009!! 4 1/4""!!

waynorth Ha Ha! You pass the test there Charlie The Spear I showed has a Pen OMG!!!!! Some fine bone on that Moose too. If other blades appear with the Spear then that's welcome, it's not 'my' thread anyway, I just initiated it and then it becomes a forum domain. I don't need pedantry obstructing knife appreciation

Frequent Spear carry recently, today the #56 in particular.
I’ve by no means have a fancy-pants collection but I do have some very nice knives, this one just does it extra for me though.

Not quite a Century but I’m working on it.
GEC Spears as of the beginning of ‘25.
Only 5 in total but 4 different versions of their Spears, not bad.
Today I’m leaning toward a Fat Spear (#56).

Beautiful simplicity.

JW225 Thanks Jim, it was an unexpected gift from a fine Forumite in France. Made by a collective of enthusiasts in Thiers, a simple rustic tool, quite a large one 4.75"/11cm, this with carbon blade, stainless spring & liners and they offer a stainless blade too. French carbon XC75 sharpens and retains keeness unlike contemporary Sheffield steel which I find very poor by contrast.

Haha I’m not sure if it’s something I’ll ever achieve, I’m already questioning the NEED of my collection , I don’t even have that many

Since when did NEED play a meaningful role in knife connoisseurship?? One man's need is another man's mania Keep at it!

Most recent Spear. A fat lad with a nail nick (Fat Nick? ).

It had been decided long before it landed in my possession that this TFG SFO 92 was going to be a USER! I use em all, but this was going to get USED.

I usually like a long pull on a Spear due to them still looking more interesting, I guess that’s just growing up with Swiss Army Knives and the like. But the simpler drawn-swedge and nail nick suits this particular 92 to the ground and feels right for a , dare I say it, hard user?!

I’ve gone with a forced patina from the get go really as I wanted to play around here and didn’t fancy that patchwork patina of just letting it happen.
That said it’s a subtle one , just enough to get that oxidation going in the hard to reach areas which I do find helps fend off the dreaded Red!

UP THE SPEARS !!
