Super nice John, hope to see more of that one.

Thank you, Todd... I'm sure you will.

Do you feel Professionally Developed?
At least you had a beautiful Case Trapper to fiddle with.

Thank you John!

Thank you Jose!

That is simply a splendid slab of stag!
OH

Thanks, Bruce. The beauty of that Lloyd, to me, is the stag, and the knife's elegant simplicity. If that makes sense.

Two Barlow Tuesday? Nah!!! I just don't recall ever carrying two Barlow's at the same time before, kinda seems odd, like "The world was a Tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes" George Gobel was the best!!!

How's the pull on the White owl ?

Carrying this Schrade 708 today and the GEC #73 Remington again. The Schrade is the first real knife I ever owned—-probably have had it about 42 yrs.

Very pleasant for the size, I’d call it a 4.5. Nice walk n’talk with both blades. Little blade rub though - seems to be a common issue with these smaller multi-blade patterns. The 33 Conductor has the same issue with blade rub.

That Case Trapper is very handsome.

Thanks, buddy!

International Knife of the Week is a Mora 120. I think it's my only fixed blade.

Oh yes, I sure do. Same ideas, just new names. Maybe I’ve been doing this too long.

The story behind the knife I have ready for this weeks Wooden Wednesday carry ... because we share stories on the porch ... I think.
About this time of year and about 10yrs ago, I was awakened from an afternoon nap on the sofa by a *CRUNCH* sound.
This No.8 from the Opinel Slim Series had fallen from my pocket. A then wee pup, Mason, found it for me.
Mason did eventually learn what was appropriate and acceptable to attempt to destroy, thank goodness.
I mean, I only need so many priceless things and stuff ya know. Shoot
Good boy Mason !!!

Boker & Rough Rider today, both with nice snappy blade action. So they named this Boker model the 'Club Knife' and I'm curious why? Any ideas?

I don't have an answer, but I'd be curious too. I do know I'm very happy with the one I have.

I googled around and couldn't find an explanation for the naming, although I did find that the "Club" is similar in size to their "Sport" knife, known in North America as a "Camp" knife. My guess is that this Club knife which is more elegant and with fewer features than the Camp knife is suitable for a gentleman's (perhaps social) Club life. I really REALLY like the knife but it's too similar in size and function to the Northwoods Indian River Jack I have, to drop the coins on this Boker. Otherwise, I might be all over it !!!
Very Nice

That logic makes sense to me, Jim. It very well could be the reason they named it Club Knife, it is pretty darn slim even when compared to some other single spring/ single blade knives. A non intrusive pocket carry that would carry well in dress slacks when out for an old fashion and some prime rib.

Not entirely sure Greg, but that’s sure is a beautiful example.

I have the Jute and Castle Burg Club knives and really like them a lot also.

This sounds like a great explanation to me Brother Jim. In fact, it has “Gentlemen’s” in its name.

We must have been typing at the same time Greg.
