I'm in, and thank you very much for the international possibility with your generosity.
I'm going to deviate a bit from your rules, and I hope it isn't going to disqualify me!😉. You see, I have a favourite pair, but at the same time I don't! My favourite pair of knives is whatever two knives my kids pick for me in the morning! I'm recently separated so have my kids 1/2 of the time. It's always been a special event in the morning when the kids choose what I'm going to carry for the day, often fighting over who gets to choose the small knife! I can't pick a favourite combo, because they are all so unique, with the kids having regular favourites to choose, but I never know what combination will be selected. Sometimes the second knife is based on what the other sibling has chosen, sometimes it's two independent choices.
As I'm in scrubs I can't carry anything too big, but other than that it's open season on what they pick, and I love that it's a morning ritual that brings us together and also solidifies a bit of knife culture in their normal daily routine.
A couple of stock photos of their choices!
This one was Vetoed, no reason to knock out a client- Grandaddy Barlow is a bit big for scrubs!
Sadly I don't have many pics of my woods carry without modern folders, but here is a pair of knives I can't wait to pair up with a slipjoint, perhaps my Damascus Case Stockman to keep continuity, from BF's own Hellize!
Have a wonderful birthday!!
