• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

That's my favourite of the five. I am sure there will be more.
I gave my last one away to a friend I was trying to introduce to traditional knives. His wife loves it and always asks him to carry it instead of his usual big moderns. I have a new one on my "wish list" on the Big River site, I just need to pull the trigger on it.
 
All my absolute favorites...

Wonderful selection John and also my favorite blades.

A year ago I had maybe half a dozen knives, and I used to carry one smallish knife for years at a time. Then I got "the sickness." I have between 20 and 30 knives now. Some I never carry--they may have sentimental value, or be a souvenir. Some I like a lot and carry occasionally. Here is a pile I generally have on my nightstand:

These are the knives I carry all the time. Two stag, two wood, and two bone. I often carry the trapper on a belt sheath, and one of the others in my left front pocket. The one at the top is a polished stag navaja from @ArtesaniaHerreros in Albacete, Spain. The next two are lambsfoots (desert ironwood and Sambar stag) from A. Wright & Son in Sheffield, England, obtained through @Jack Black. Then a GEC ebony #15 Huckleberry Boys Knife, a generous gift from @r redden. The last two are amber bone SS knives from Case bought at local farm and ranch or hardware stores.

A big step up from the small pen knives and lockbacks I used to carry. I am sure the pile will change from time to time. I expect that the 2019 Forum Knife will get a lot of pocket time. But this is my "pile" for now.
Lovely knives Vince and a great post.
