After learning of the passing of our old friend Half/Stop in my absence (slightly over a year ago) I decided to carry a Primble Belknap Jack Knife today to honor him for his contributions on this forum. He gave me this knife to add to my Primble collection years ago and I cherished it then, possibly more now. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him and his wife Pam at one of the GEC Rendezvous for a few dinners and a few days. We made a knife trade from the trunk of my car just before I departed for home. RIP Ron and thank you my friend ! View attachment 1716365

I can't put into words how nice it is to see you posting again Mr. Primble . Your Knives and Photos are Always a delight to see . Your collection of the Old Cats is missed . I had the pleasure of visiting with Ron in Tennessee , just a few months before his passing , and we talked a lot about Knives and People on the Forum . He & I agreed that we would really like to see you re-start posting again on a regular basis . I trust that you are in good health and that things are going well for you and your's my friend .

You’re killing me.

 

[Sacto]

I ventured out with these two to check on things today, but no photos until I got back home.

It’s hard to not carry these two right now.

After carrying my ebony GEC Irish (Speaker) Jack I decided it's similar yet opposite counterpart today was appropriate, the 2013 Forum Knife.

Thanks Dave !!! ... And beautiful bone on that Cheetah !!! Nice

Thanks Brother!!! nice photo of the mumbley-peg

Thank you Todd, it’s the lack of light that makes it look so vintage, for now

Thank you as well Jeremy, I did the exact same and bought two here on our exchange.
The all nickel-steel and cigarillo size all in one just sealed the deal.

Today’s carry is always a difficult one to let go of, model 1823…

A great one to All

Great knife, Remington jigging is the best

Very nice Dave, Swing Guards aren't pictured very often but I think they're a beautiful knife. I have several red bone and a stag Case and will carry backpocket every now and again

Thanks Paul, wanted a Cheetah for a long long time

Primble

Just a perfect subject, lighting, and composition. And, little did I know, a perfect segway to Primbles post (I ain't lyin, I immediately thought of our buddy Primble right when I saw this)

Finally….snow…

So happy to see your posts again Primble!, as always, your photography, and knives are legendary and much appreciated.

One of my favorite TC's, your looks so good with all that beautiful patina!

Beautiful knives, guys.
You’ve inspired my totes for today.

Speaking of Primbles, nice one, loving the main blade! Did you make the glass slide also? My brother in law went to Disney World and the whole family came back with the rona, lots of my team at work is also affected. Hope everyone here stays safe and healthy, glad to hear Sacto s daughter and tmd_87 are doing ok.

Ice Station Zebra here today. Some totin' time for the American Jack...

The 78 was my first GEC, that is a beautiful example, love the stag!

Carrying my Charlie Lamb for Black Friday

One of the best! Great example, I keep getting drawn into the wood background, so interesting.

Ron was a special kind of friendly. We have visited GEC four times during their summer Rendezvous. Ron and Harry Old Engineer were both very welcoming and friendly during our first visit. We quickly realized the majority of the fun with this kind of trip was the fraternity of knife enthusiasts. It truly was more about meeting nice people than the knives. It was sad knowing that we wouldn’t see him as we drove to Titusville last summer.

One of my favorite knives came from Ron. He knew how much I liked the Bloodwood Gun Scout and asked if I wanted it.

@Primble your knives and your pictures have always been some of my favorites. I hope to meet at a future GEC Rendezvous.

What a perfect reminder of Ron's generosity, and such a great knife, thaks for sharing. Ron was always kind and friendly to me also (as he was to everyone). He was one of the greatest porch members and will definately always be missed and remembered.

Toting these two from GEC today.

Great pair, your photography is always stellar!

After carrying my ebony GEC Irish (Speaker) Jack I decided it's similar yet opposite counterpart today was appropriate, the 2013 Forum Knife.

Well, you really outdid the speaker jack with that one! Wow! Wish I was here just 1 year earlier

Sorry for the long winded post but so many great knives, I could go on and on................................

Doing the lambsfoot today, with John in the background.

Great-looking Lambsfoot Kevin

That's a nice pic

I'm ready to start the weekend a little early, with a diverse assortment of knives.

Got beer on yer mind Rachel?! I like that wee FB, nice size, and great lines

Thanks, Jack. We don’t have it quite as bad as Paul, but it’s still pretty dang cold.

Yikes! Stay warm Barrett

Been carrying these two lately, doubly appropriate for Black and Old Friends Friday.

Excellent pairing Jeff

(Oops! Too many pics!)

 

[Jack Black]

You top picture reminds me of last summer. We had a Mexican contractor out for something, and he commented on my garden. I took him over and picked a bag of jalapenos for him. He said “Oooh chee-lays!” And I learned something from him. He spotted a sprawling squash vine in the front yard (volunteer planted by chipmunks), and said they use the blossoms in cooking, so he got a sack of those too.

That's very interesting about the blossoms Jeff, I love to discover new edibles, and when travelling, have often come across things other folks eat, which are wasted here

Good Morning Guardians
Carrying my Charlie Lamb for Black Friday

Cool choice John

Barrett, once you hit -10 and any wind, it's miserable my brother said it's-18 in Baldwin WI. AZ looks pretty darn good right now

Sounds like a time to stay indoors Paul! Keep warm buddy

Oh yes, the slim Queen Jack.
Nice to see it again, I always loved that picture.

Thanks a lot pal, it's a treasured knife

That sad news must have come as a shock It really doesn't seem like a year ago Hope you don't mind me posting this pic, and that it brings back some happy memories? Lovely knife, and a great photo

Happy Friday to all! First week back to work after the Holidays, so I am ready for the weekend.

Nicely paired

It's a custom by Erik Loreno, an unexpected birthday gift from @Ajack60 .
Thank you, Ajack, I love it!

What a thoughtful gift Great-looking knife Rachel

"So...we meet again Mr Bond!"

Toting these two from GEC today.

Terrific twosome JJ, with a great blade selection They complement each other well

After carrying my ebony GEC Irish (Speaker) Jack I decided it's similar yet opposite counterpart today was appropriate, the 2013 Forum Knife.

I like your thinking Paul Very elegant

Have a great weekend everyone Cold, wet, and windy here Got my Hartshead Barlow in my pocket again, and I thought I'd carry my only Primble, kindly gifted to me by Stuart D Duckdog , another good friend of Ron's

 

[Pt-Luso]

In my pocket walk today this little Puma 4 Star in stag.

 

[Kevin-B]

Good day everyone. I’m carrying the TC today.

 

[joeradza]

 

[Old Hunter]

Put a new edge on this Schrade USA 93OT Wrangler last night. Oiled the joints and have it in my pocket this morning. OH

 

[cbach8tw]

This may not be the place to ask, but are there any Cuban traditional knives? Besides a machete of course. I know this will be hard to show any examples because of the embargo we have, but any pre-Castro? And post-Rev if any too.
