And the faithfully monitored blade storage chest yielded this one from 2015 for Wooden Wednesday ...

I love that one, Jim. It’s hard to beat a shadow pattern with a slim clip and sheepsfoot. That one was happening right around the time I discovered BladeForums and I was too new to realize what I was missing.

I like it a lot, less maintenance. I still love to watch a blade patina but I don’t miss it as much as I thought.

I have the same feeling about my Eureka. I love the patina on my carbon knives, but the stainless on the Eureka is certainly worry-free and stays sharp.

I can have it either way.
I do like a blade that patinas, but I also enjoy a blade that keeps an edge for a long time... D2 Maybe?

I’ve heard it said that D2 takes a bad edge and holds it forever.

Case XX Small Copperlock Giraffe bone and what a wonderful example in every way .

Some evenings I sit down to look through the forum and realize I didn’t take a picture of my knife that day. That’s how you end up with a counter top picture.

I carry today this Portuguese knife by Francisco Cangueiro in bovine horn.

Another rainy day, I take my usual Byro and to put a little color in this sad day the Case offered by my friend Greg.
Good day to all

But particularly like the Stag Dam Wharncliffe, it's a Lloyd I think? Could you say something else about its characteristics, carry, feel etc? I could use one.....

Thanks, Will

When I decided I wanted to start collecting knives, (about 6 years ago), I went the cheap route and picked up a dozen or more Rough Riders. This stockman may have been the 2nd or 3rd of my pickups and not at all a disappointment. Nice F&F, no gaps at springs/liners, very nice blade action and snap, plus pocket friendly with almost sunken joints. I dyed the orange bone with some brown RIT a few years back to give it a mottled look. The one thing I would change if I could would be to eliminate the match strike nail nicks. All things considered, it's a good knife to carry on occasion.

If I admitted it was a decision, then I couldn’t feign surprise at the accumulation.

Seeing yours made me want to carry my Schrade Russell Commemorative Barlow and the Schrade Barlow . I agree with you on all of your points . Some day I will have to post a photo of all of my Russell Barlows and the Commemoratives that I have . Thank you for your kind comment on my Old Russell .That Old Original Russell that I showed was bought in 2014 for $ 5.00 , down from $ 9.00 that he wanted . I drove back 65 miles a week later to buy it after I found out what it was . Below is what I have in my pockets today and if you look real close you can see the same Dimples in the Covers . I carry them almost never because they are 47 years old .

There was quite a lot of inbreeding among American knife makers. I’m sure my 206’s delrin has the exact same simulated woodgrain as yours. I’ll look later.
I love the bolsters on both of those!

I like your Old Cat my friend .

Harry

Appreciate that, Harry. It’s my only Cattaraugus folder, but I can see why you keep an eye out for them.

Lol...
K390 then... time for the Traditional market to adopt it.

I end up with a lot of countertop pictures.
It's dark in the mornings when I choose my knives.
Your Forum Barlow looks sweet in any light.

I’m not anti-D2, I just thought that was funny when I heard that. Carbon super steel sounds interesting

Thank you, John.

Yes it is a Lloyd. I like it alot, feels good in the hand big enough to get a good grip but slim enough it carries well. The blade is a good size i think, small enough for fine detain cutting like stripping wires but big enough to cut shrink tube and hoses. I definitely recommend getting one if you are on the fence about it. If you want any specific pictures or have any questions feel free to pm me. Have a good day.
