Great photo John. We had some cool mornings last week, but this week we are back to the HHH days (hazy hot and humid). Make me ready for fall.Good Morning Porch Friends
Great looking knives Jon.
Thank you, Todd.
Oh, I can't wait either.
SAK, the official knife of golfing.
Pretty little Peanut, GT.
What’s that metal piece on your key ring?Two very handsome totes there JJ, and they go together well
The factory system in the USA, consistent tang stamps, and better record-keeping makes US knives easier to date - or so I understand!Sorry to hear there are errors in relation to those knives too
People like to think they can date their knives easily, in a formulaic way, preferably to the exact year, but of course that's only very rarely possible with Sheffield knives. It seems Goins would be better avoiding Sheffield altogether
Mr P, Geoff Tweedale's book (Tweedale's Directory of Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers 1740-2013) is a history of the manufacturers, rather than a guide to the knives they produce, but I think it's very well-researched, with few errors. The second edition is 'print on demand', and reasonably priced I think, particularly considering the wealth of information it contains
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July, and that you manage to ease gently into the 5thJohnDF
Wow, that I think is the most beautiful GEC I ever seen.
I’m digging the absence of the shield on that trapper. I think you could start a new trend where dudes purposely extract their shields just to look like that beautiful piece. You could call it “Negative Shielding”. No?
Thanks very much Jeremy! Nice to take a social breather every now and then. But also nice to get back to the conversation here on the porch.
What a good lookin, brass bolstered knife! Great photo as well. I’ve gone back and forth dozens of times deciding whether or not to pull the trigger on this one. I simply can’t get down with secondaries in front of the main. I wanted to love the Pony Jack but couldn’t for the same reason. Love to gawk at them tho!
Why thank you sir. I’m quite fond of those two clips.Great looking knives Jon.
Wore cycling shorts today, so chose the15 in the interest of minimalism. It looks pretty humble under
Locutus D'Borg
's masterpiece there! 
Thank you very kindly, Jack!!!wo very handsome totes there JJ, and they go together well
Those two beautifully covered jacks look smashing together; I'm always taken aback by your SFO Lamb's marvelous stag!Hope everyone had a great 4th of July, and that you manage to ease gently into the 5th
Does that one come with a standard divot repair tool?
A gift from

Thank you!
Thanks Jon.I’m digging that black on black look
Jim, sometimes I hit the ball so poorly I need a shovel to fix my divots!Does that one come with a standard divot repair tool?
It’s a fun neighborhood tradition. This year was the 40th year.That must have been fun for the kids and adults alike.
Thanks, John. It’s a good “small” knife. They’re probably due for another run of them some time soon.Very cool little pocket knife, it has a wonderful look to it.
Sweet knife and a nice-looking fire pit.Good Morning Porch Friends
