The Trillium is blooming in my little patch of woods.64E8495F-FBA9-4C26-B159-8DA646FE6196.jpegBoring, but they’re mine.😬489D908B-2192-4F53-8B21-F6480E882731.jpegI took these almost an hour and a half ago, but I couldn’t post without getting caught up from yesterday in the thread. Prolific bunch, with some fine choices in cutlery that I don’t want to miss:thumbsup:
 
Superb knife, Bart! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I like the pen knife better than a Peanut because pen's a little bigger. And I sometimes admire the Case medium jacks folks post here, but then I tell myself that I like the pen's blade on each end better than the jack's 2 blades on same end.

Thanks, Gary. This is actually an older model that is on the medium stockman frame, a little larger than the current pen pattern. I also like the current pen pattern for a nice slim, smallish knife.

The copperhead celebrates it's 10 year anniversary this year. I remember how excited I was when it was on it's way to me, as well as the New York Knife Co. Barlow that was on it's way to me, both of them, years ago. I don't know for sure that the NYKC Barlow is quite a 100 just yet, as it may have been made in the last years the company was in operation, but, safe to say it has to be close to that. I treasure both of these knives. Today, a similar excitement, anticipating another Barlow that I have wanted since I first saw the Cocobolo Yankee Barlows. These two will be replaced for the day, after the Yankee arrives, no doubt. But that doesn't mean they will be any less special. Have a nice weekend everyone and be a little careful today as it is Friday the 13th. ☺️

Thanks for the additional info, Bart. :) Case has so many "medium-length" models that I can't keep them straight without looking at dealer pages. o_O My pen knife is a 32087, so it's on the same 087 frame as the current medium jack and one of the medium stockmans. And at 3 3/8" closed, it's actually a half inch longer than a Peanut, which I consider a substantial difference.

(FWIW, Case also currently has a square-bolstered pen knife that at 2 5/8" is actually a quarter inch shorter than a Peanut. That little guy doesn't appeal to me at all.)

I think that is a great pair to make one’s usual. Hope the labs come out like Dizzy Dean’s head xray ~ They show nothing!

Thanks! They’re as basic as you can get, but together they can do most everything I need done. (And I’m hoping the test shows nothing, for sure.)

The one I was carrying is on the 47 frame, more of a work knife compared to the 87. Here they are side by side. It’s a terrible picture, but you get the idea.

Congrats on the new Fox, Mike! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Have to confess that the old walnut Antonini floats my boat more! ;)


- GT
Thanks Gary :)
I can appreciate that :thumbsup:

I lied about the Antonini :confused: Its not walnut, its kotibe. Not sure when it transitioned to walnut in my mind o_O Its a useful knife. That day I needed to lift the tension on a small snail spring and the spike was the perfect tool :thumbsup:

The Livri, being linerless, is very light. Lightweight, micarta and stainless - perfect for shorts carry in hot weather 🌞I've been playing around with it and its quite the slicer. Slicey-er than it looks 🔪 :thumbsup:
 
In the waiting room again today - waiting for the lab technician this time. Who said getting old isn’t fun? At least taking pictures gives me something to do while I wait.

The usual.
Classics. Can't go wrong.

Gorgeous! Both of 'em!
 
Yours is the first photo of the Bayou Trapper I saw with both blades completely open; the "alligator jaws" silhouette is a delightful coincidence! :thumbsup:🤓:thumbsup:
:D👍🐊
I like the way you think! 🤓🤓:thumbsup: That's how I send birthday cards to my Dad, since he got into his 80s and now 90s. I'll send him a couple of cards that specify particular ages that add up to his current age, or get a kids' card and write on it a multiplication factor (when he turned 91 last year I got him a happy 13th birthday card and wrote a "7x" in front of every 13 on the card so they became 7x13=91).
88+9=97. It's too dang hot for May!

The veggie garden (and whatever's chewing on the eggplants) seems to like it, though:

I need to get up with you sometime to find out what kind of lucky charms you was carrying around Harry. The first 2 names out of the bucket was Old Engineer, then R8shell, then old Engineer again. I stirred them names up really good and again after I folded them all. Seemed like some kind of force at work. Good thing for the others that I had the you can only win one knife rule. ;) 🤣🤣
Lucky for me!
