Totin’ one of my favorites today, tomorrow, and probably all weekend. Hope all of you have a great one!

 

[Sacto]

Urban Jack today. I really like the green jigged handles on these.

 

[TheFactor]

Yes.... of all the 62s I let go, my stag is the one I regret.... perhaps there's another one waiting down the road... yours is very evenly matched. Very nice..

Thank you my friend !
Sadly yes this is my only 62 I have left but I’m sure glad I hung on to this one. It’s not a show stopper but does have some nice character and well matched covers .

[Arian29]

GEC#38 with Fox Knives,

 

[Will Power]

*Forced' to carry this Stockman in Bonestag and cv while CASE is fixing or replacing my Amber Bone with busted backspring. Very grippy carry this stuff!

 

[5K Qs]

Inspired by Jeff @black mamba.
Ten dot deep blue Copperhead
...

Breathtaking blue bone on your copperhead, Paul!

A US Army "Metal Monday" utility knife and a 1935-36 Hammer Brand scout to start the week; both by Imperial.
...

Striking striping on your Kamp King, JJ!

Oregon Trapper and a Camillus #69
...

That's what I'd call a premium stockman, Steve!

Heck of a half whittler!

The old Bayonne jack knife again today, rode solo in my pocket.
...

Great photo of your grand old knife, Greg!

Today with this GEC 83 in stag, serialized No. 28.
...

You must prize that superb knife, José!

Carrying my Waynorth Lambsfoot in jigged bone today, and a Random Tuesday Spanish Joker in bubinga
...

Highly desirable duo, Jack!

Carrying a Schrade Carpenters Whittler for the day. OH
...

What a pristine example, Bruce! I wasn't aware that anyone besides Camillus offered that unique "whittler" pattern; always good to learn new-to-me info.

I wring the most enjoyment possible out of all four of the seasons, but I don’t think I’ve ever cheered the end of the gardening/growing season. Autumn is the most beautiful and enjoyable temperature wise, and September is usually perfect around here.
I appreciate the reassurance about deserving fishing time, I went, caught nothing, and had a great couple of hours doing it.
Thanks for commending my knives, my friend.

Glad you found time for some fishing fun, Jeff!

Happy Tuesday Everybody.
I'll be carrying my Usual Lamb and a Case Medium Stockman
...

Another of your versatile pairings, John; that's a handsome 6.5318!

My "totes" for the day are a couple of Cases, the half whittler and the swayback jack, both in TruSharp and stag, and the ever-faithful 23 in mesquite....
...

Thrilling threesome!

Western W238. Slightly bigger than a Case Mini Trap and quite a bit smaller than a full sized trapper. Well made, nice knife that I should carry more. Ok, I have lots of knives that I should carry more
View attachment 1639952

Sounds like a great size, and that "scalloped" edge is intriguing!

For what ever reason I can't fathom I traded the small two blade wenger I've been carrying around for years for the cheap shrade 19jpe. I bought two of them and it was less than twenty bucks for the two of them delivered. I do like the size and weight of it so we'll see how long it lasts. I do miss the older knife and am wondering why I do things sometimes.

I can relate to your story. I've made plenty of illogical, inexplicable decisions in my "knife life"!

Just gets better and better.
...

Totally agree about your rosewood Hartshead Barlow lambs foot, Taylor!

My favorite water sport is to sit and look at it.
Someday I hope to compete on the porch of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.
...

At this stage of my life, I certainly agree with you, Jer!
I'm sure if you someday qualify for competition at the Grand Hotel, you'll acquit yourself well! If you go, say hello for me to Jane Seymour.

Made by K'roo in memory of my dad, Tom, passed away this day in 1983...View attachment 1640028View attachment 1640029

Nice tribute to your father!

Umm, if we could just hang on for a while before winter comes, that would be great, ok?
...
The leek, 1/2 the onions and most of the peppers will go in the skillet to be joined later by a little smoked pork loin and chicken, and some wild rice.
The mango, cilantro, some onion, tomatoes, and a poblano and jalapeno are for some fresh salsa topping.

The mango is the only thing I did not grow.
And some white corn tortillas off the griddle to scoop it up.

Eat well, my amigos!

I'm with you on postponing talk of winter, Jeff. I saw the post that said something like, "Winter is coming. Have a good day!" and considered it an oxymoron!
Captivating cornucopia you posted!!

Case Sowbelly

Splendid sowbelly (and knob)!

Elegant Forum Knife!

Guess I forgot to post my carry this morning. Had these with me today. View attachment 1640263

That chestnut jigged mini trapper is drool-worthy!!

These two Barlows are keeping me company on a rainy midweek day
...

Jack, both your stag HHB and your sawcut Case are relatively new, but IMHO they're "instant classics"!

Holy Cow!! That's superlative Ironwood!

[Jack Black]

Have fun tomorrow.
Love that #66... as you know.

Thanks John

I can certainly see why, excellent tools!

Thanks a lot, Jack!!! They are wonderful cutters!

You've definitely got your bases well covered with the #66 beauty and that fine, beefy Lambsfoot; a very cool combo!

Many thanks JJ

Great pair, Jack, including one knife to rule them all!!

Thank you Gary

Today with my Usual Lamb and Small Texas Jack

Winning pair my friend

My sowbelly stockman this week is a yellow synthetic Rough Rider with carbon steel blades:
View attachment 1641068

Looks good Gary, I need to carry mine sometime

Coffin Jack again today.
Always wished I had the talent to wood carve. Best I can do is pick up, and appreciate, someone else's creation once in a while.

I think I recognise that work Gary! Great pic my friend

Toting these two from GEC today.

Two fantastic knives that pair beautifully JJ

These two today. I think i will carry this pair tomorrow as well. Tomorrow i will carry out my grandfathers final wishes and give him his final harley ride. He got me interested in knives and is the reason i am who i am today.View attachment 1641520

Sorry for your loss my friend

I've been trying to upload pics of my carry for the past 2 hours now, going to have to post later I'm afraid

 

[Jack Black]

Highly desirable duo, Jack!

Thanks again Gary

 

[Jack Black]

At last! Carrying two treasured knives, gifted to me by two treasured friends Have a great day everyone

 

[Travman]

 

[Pt-Luso]

I carry today this Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoot, ram’s horn scales and worked back.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Two jacks.Make it a happy day, ok?

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

I'm with you on postponing talk of winter, Jeff. I saw the post that said something like, "Winter is coming. Have a good day!" and considered it an oxymoron!
- GT

And not only that, the two thoughts don’t go together.

 

[screened porch]

If you go, say hello for me to Jane Seymour.

You bet. I wouldn't dream of trying to keep her all to myself.

 

[bigfish64]

That chestnut jigged mini trapper is drool-worthy!!

- GT

Thanks Gary, is got a nice patina started so it’s really looking proper.

 

[smudge58]

Friday Four...

 

[JohnDF]

I agree, the green jigged bone, shield and lnyard hole make that knife super pretty.

Another of your versatile pairings, John; that's a handsome 6.5318!

Thanks again for your kind words, GT.

Winning pair my friend

Thank you, my friend.

Ah yes... That Slim Queen Jack is a such a nice little carry.

I don't know much about Marbles, but I do know that's a pretty knife.

 

[JohnDF]

Starting off with my Usual Lambsfoot...


And adding the Indian River Jack for Fancy Friday.

 

[TheEdge01]

My old German Bull is in my pocket today. This well used knife has plenty of character.
