[Jon0385]

Such a cool picture John.
Still pretty far out and nothing like what the east coast is getting but here’s the forecast for next week around here. View attachment 1731256

I like to focus on the last two years of his career.

Todd, I have to say all of that is gross

 

[Gevonovich]

Yes, it just arrived, brand-new! I've been looking at them for years, and decided to treat myself for turning 60. Why not spend the whole year's knife budget in January?

I'm especially pleased to discover that it fits nicely in an A.G.Russell Woodswalker sheath.

Happy Birthday !!! Superb taste !!!

Yankee Jack for the carry.

That’s a beauty Paul, and the secondary blade is in the correct position!

 

[Old Hunter]

By the way, both the 77 and 12 were gifts from a couple of good dudes. Thanks, Bruce and Jim!

So glad you really enjoy that knife!

and decided to treat myself for turning 60.

Happy 60th Birthday! (nice gift).

Good Morning Porch Friends
Just enjoying my morning coffee and trying to decide on which knife will join my Usual Lamb today.

As always you have a nice lambsfoot, but today you have a really cool coffee cup too! OH

SOG Stingray. The SOG Stingray won the Best Imported Knife of the Year Award at the 1992 Blade Show. It's sturdy and dang near impossible to damage. Holds a great edge - 440A. I've got three of these and I've carried one every day since 1992 except of course hospitalizations, etc. in my left front pocket. Anyway, it's a stay at home day today.

Old Kutmaster. These 50 year-old knives have better snap than many I get online nowadays. Lol

 

[Tyson A Wright]

A. Wright Lambsfoot riding with my 97 today.

Thank you, Bruce.

Very, very nice Arno Bernard Rachel r8shell . Did it come with a small piece of warthog tusk fashioned as a key ring? I've noticed a dealer in Tennessee is shipping such a key ring with Arno Bernard Warthog knives. I'd bet that with handling, the Warthog Ivory will darken to closely match the covers on the BF knife it's pictured with.

Edited to add: Happy Birthday!!!

 

[JohnDF]

I decided that my second knife for the day will be the Great White Barlow.
Shown here with its very own special little purse.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Thank you Jeff. Went on a bit of a fixed blade bender at the end of 2021. Couldn’t explain a rational reason if asked…except to say they “spoke“ to me.

You could say your mind was fixed on them.

[CorpsmanUP!]

Case Trapper and Barlow, both with smooth brown synthetic scales in Stainless

It's not my fault he's really really really good

Thanks much!

Love the replacement handles on the Pal! Good looking imitation delrin.

That commentary slipped right by me at first, had only had my 1st cup of coffee at that time.

Both nice Greg but man the covers on that Mustang are amazing!!!

Thanks, Paul. I dyed the bone on the 74, it was 'autumn leaf' new and was a bit to bright and electric in color for my taste.
Your Yankee Jack is very similar in color and jigging to my 74. Thats a good looking knife with the long pull nick, ringed bolster, shield and swell end pattern. Very nice.

I absolutely love the jigging on the Mustang!

Thanks, Jim. It gets a fair amount of carry and use as you can probably see by the blade patina. Has perfect blade pull and snap for my taste, solid build too.

Amusing, interesting and sobering. As the Buddhists believe, change is inevitable but doesn't mean it's always better or always worse. Incredible picture of your Gran's home and generations of folk may have lived there timeless from say The Revolution till the 1970s. Is that a Citroen light truck/lorry?? When you were a kid Traction Avants must've still been a common sight-perhaps ignored? And then Goddess DS 19 gliding around...dreamland

The new building you show which replaces the old is still elegant & stylish curves compared to some minimalist horrors though.

Thanks, Will

The light truck is a Renault, probably prewar, used to collect rags destined to paper mills.
Tractions were mostly larger 6 cyl 15s, the 11 Légère had the reputation of being the Gestapo and mobsters (sometime both) car.
Pre war cars were still reigning in the streets, I remember a '20s NN Renault. Dad's first car was a 36'201 Peugeot, much appreciated by my Grandmas because they could step in without lowering the head.
DSs took some time to be seen around because they were so expensive and in my street a 2 doors Salmson and a few Hotckisses ruled and parking a car was much easier than today!

Unfortunately I don't have a wider picture of the place, there was a dirt floor yard and at the opposite an Italian artisan making plaster figures of all sorts which he painted with an airbrush. Most houses were in wood and you had to take an irregularly paved narrow street to reach the yard.
Needless to say that in case of fire, by the time the firemen would reach the place, most houses would have been burned completely.

THAT is a great looking Senator, Dan !!! WoW ... the Eureka Jack ain't bad either
I have a stag Senator too and not "thrilled" with the stag
SOoooo ... contacted the vendor about pictures of his remaining stock, he had 6 left, and picked the best one
Should be here about the middle of next week from the West Coast. USPS has it but no delivery date yet
Anyway ... the one I have coming still isn't as nice as the one you have !!!

As far as the one I have now, in spare time, going to try and replace the stag with covers made from one of my dog's Elk chews LOL

 

[JJ Cahill]

Have a great weekend everyone

Toting a pair of Barlow lovelies is alway a great kick-off to the weekend, especially when one is also a Lambsfoot!

 

[afishhunter]

Couple changes. For Stagerday the only 2 I got: 852211 Harness Jack, and 2018 Buck 301 forum knife.
Joined by a SK BLADES "Smoke Jumper" Buck 110LT with CPM154 blade to match the Forum knife, the old Imperial Engineers knife, SAK Signature, and Toferner.

Disappointed, not shocked though.
