Holy moly…especially that pile side…sheesh! Beautiful!

Good stag is the only thing I’ll back off of my “everything is a user” policy for. I have two beautiful stag knives that will never get the patina treatment. That elk is gorgeous. Thanks for showing it off!

JohnDF and afishhunter , while I agree about Iowa, once I got back on a two lane road in Nebraska I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery. I made it to Valentine and got the one and only hotel room I’ll stay in on this 17 day trip. Here’s a viewpoint outside of town over the Niobrara river.

 

[Angry Waiter]

Gorgeous chestnut on that one Pete.

Thanks Todd. This was my first Case. Big shout to JohnDF

Headed west, cruising through Central Iowa. I had forgotten how flat it was here.View attachment 1907604

Then you are just going to love Nebraska .

Thank you, Todd.

You have way more self-control than I do... I'd have probably walked out of there with one of each.

Hope you both had a great time.

Thank you, GT.

It's always a good time when the Jeep is involved.

Nice choice, I'll be carrying mine today.

Super handy-dandy pairing, Bart.

Nice catch! Hope you and your kid had a great time fishing.

Hard to keep up with all your posts, no wonder this thread moves so fast.

Looks like a very fun time.

Great picture, Johnny.

Magazine quality picture.

Camouflage.

Gorgeous knife, love the bone color.

That coin/token is really cool, Taylor.

Nice to see the HHB back on duty. Hope you're having a great day, my friend.

Thanks John I will post a pic of the other side next time I carry it!

Now you are on the route that we always used to take to go west . Once had an $8.00 16 ounce T-Bone in Valantine , Nebraska . Safe travels for you and your's Jim .

Sak Sportsman and Schrade 194OT as Jack waits for pictures.

Nice Schrade. Such a nice pattern!

Those looks so good together Jeff.

Thank you very much, Todd!

This ones been getting worked some over the last several days. I'm really loving it but debating if I should delete the pen blade. I've seen some people do that to this pattern but I'm not sure where I'd go to get that done.

I’ve deleted the utility blade on few TL-29s, but I will not do it again. I’ve come to appreciate that secondary blade so much that I now feel guilty about deleting them.

So that’s my vote, but it is your knife, so you should do what you think best for your likes and needs.
I do get that some folks really like a slim knife.

Thanks, John!
The overall look of the stag and especially the ‘interest’ of pile side (and its rarity) were big reasons this knife survived ‘the great purge’ … and I agree, I also have a few that I have purposefully kept unused.
But it being stainless, and such a great pattern, are starting to sorely tempt me …

Part of Tuesday carry on deck.
But honestly this is all I would need

 

[r8shell]

Shazam!

A re-cycled photo of what I carried today .

[bigfish64]

Super Cool.

Thanks John.

 

[JohnDF]

That's pretty. Glad you found a hill out there.

Then you are just going to love Nebraska .

Harry

Right? I moved my son out to Omaha last year, it was insanely flat. But I took the back roads going home, and even though it's flat, there is still some beautiful country.

Shazam!

Haha... I'd thought of that too. It's my son's favorite super hero.

Good Morning Porch Friends
Today I'll be carrying a Lambsfoot (as usual), something for Micarta Monday, and something for Metal Monday...
View attachment 1907391

Each one of those is a great knife, John

Looks great Bart! The stickers are a nice touch, bet it won’t be long before that whole side is covered with them.

Thanks, Todd. We do have a bunch more stickers to put on.

Really been enjoying this carry pair all weekend. The Cowbell is my new favorite belt knife!

Thanks for sharing these JJ, really a treat to see! I'm going to have to learn more about Robeson.


Hi Bart, nice ramp! It's an 85-ish teardrop jack from Tracy LaRock. Unbeatable ergos and a surprisingly beefy blade, pulls curls of fatwood better than any other folder I've used and took/is holding a positively dangerous edge . Action is rough/sticky but I've magic lubed it into serviceability.

I really like that one. The whole package looks great.

Had this one with me at work today. View attachment 1907933Now that I’m home I’m switching to these beauties for Micarta Monday. View attachment 1907935

Another set of three awesome knives

 

[Sacto]

I carried this one today. I like to use this slip when my shirt doesn’t have a pocket so I have a spot for a pen.

 

[BrotherJim]

Damascus Red Bone BUCK 110 X(1990) ... so relax

 

[HFinn]

I would call this "modern traditional" with the screw construction, adjustable pivot and ball detent. Still this is a friction folder.

 

[Jack Black]

Your big wood lambsfoot and little stag Albers make a good pair, Jack!

...


Thanks, Jack.
Handsome couple of knives!

Thanks a lot Gary

Beautiful photo of your HHB Jack.

Thanks Gary.

Thank you kindly Todd

Nice to see the HHB back on duty. Hope you're having a great day, my friend.

Thanks pal, you too

Terrific trio John

Gonna straighten up the pole barn/carport today. It seems to be a place to accumulate "stuff" - you know, things you just put there until you can put it away at a later time. Next thing you know you've got a lotta "stuff" to put in their rightful place. A single blade Sowbelly ought to be all that's necessary. That's what I'll start with anyway. Sausage and biscuits for breakfast.

Sounds like my whole garage Ed. Beautiful sowbelly.

Sounds like my entire house at the moment!

Buffalo Jack and a LF

That's a great-looking pairing Steve

View attachment 1907935

Those two go together well Todd

Thanks a lot, Jack!!!

Your super cool and very handy Sheffield Metal Monday large pen makes an an excellent mate for your HHB; love the pastoral Hartsfield shot, too!

Thank you very much JJ

Toting some Swiss metal and a 44 today.

Love your green Farmer my friend, and the Gunstock makes a fine companion

Pocketing my Waynorth Lamb today, along with a Random Tuesday Sheffield Barlow by Batty & Co. Have a good day everyone
