Those BPS Knives are really great for the money. I was really surprised by them. I have one sitting on my shelf right now in line to have some scales made for it. :)
 
I'm carrying a favorite today. :)

A gorgeous Red Trout sheepsfoot made by Eric of Alber's Cutlery. I'd say I hope Mr. Lanigan is resting easy, but I'm not so sure that was his style. The man was an exceptionally gifted raconteur, and I wish I could have heard more of his stories.

That sure is a looker, Brian!
 
Nicked a cuticle while positioning the S&M pen blade for the photo
I feel like it’s always a little risky when I try to open multiple blades at the same time.
When I put the morning's jeans in the wash, I found I'd been carrying the Normark, too.

That black knife looks very familiar. I’m pretty sure my Dad used to carry an orange version sometimes when I was a kid. I’m sure he still has it around somewhere. I feel like someone else posted one of those a while back that made me think of my Dad’s knife also.
 
Old Reliable and my Opinel today. It's easy to take the Opinel for granted, but if I wasn't a knife knerd, I could easily just carry this $17 knife every day. It will do every single task I expect a pocket knife to do, and do it better than most of my other knives. (But I would really miss this GEC 97!)

Opinel are good slicers for sure, but for me they lack the feel or the soul or whatever you want to call it that some of my other knives have.
Great picture as usual Bart. 😎👍
Thanks, Todd. I noticed a new prop that gets good afternoon sun.
