It's a beauty, my friend.
Thanks guys!Great looking knife Bart.
I like the travel lid on the ceramic mug. I haven’t seen that before. Although I’d be scared to take my favorite mug on the go for fear of breaking it.
I feel like a schedule would be a great way for me to start carrying more of my other knives! There’s some I haven’t carried and used in over a year! Sounds really fun
That Cocobolo grain is awesome!
Those osage orange handles sure are handsome, no matter what the pattern they're on!Thank ya, John.
I'm playing catch up with my viewing and postings, a couple days behind. I've had this osage handled moose in the pocket the past two days. Gonna swap it out later this afternoon
after I finish my honey-do list around the house. Attending an annual backyard friends and family pig roast late this afternoon and would like to carry a fixed blade for some slicing on my plate. I'll have to select a small one as some of these suburban folks can be uncomfortable around "hunting knives" on a mans belt.Maybe I'll just take a folder with a large blade.

Top-notch pair; I especially like the brown sawcut bone on the Case Barlow!
Outstanding stag gunstock jack!I had a lovely ride today when I went to visit my father.
Stopped for coffee and a little bit of Scotland in England with Tunnocks tea cakes on the way back.
Then stopped in Wantage home to Alfred the great,dog drinks,very old,crumbling ancient bits of timber holding up houses and much more to see.
I have one of those (but not with orange handle) and I agree that it's a splendid knife. That leaf-shaped blade is quite common on European knives (another example in the next quote), and is a treat to use!This showed up in the mail today. Pallares Comun no.0 with orange resin handle. Quite like it. Very unique look, the handle is comfortable, and the blade shape is just awesome. Slightly thicker blade than my Opinel no. 6, 1.5 mm at the spine, but big broad blade and super thin at the edge. Only had a chance to strop before heading out the door but serviceably sharp.
...
Love the pattern so far. Lots of charm, and maybe my new favorite blade shape.
That's a beauty, Steve!
You're pretty observant, Bart! That was definitely a safety precaution when I took photos of drains and sewer grates. I happened to find a piece of light cotton rope, about 7' long, on the side of the road when I was out for my morning walk while on vacation. I tied the ends together to make a loop, attached an S-clip to one end to clip onto a knife shackle, and tied the other end to the hammer loop on the carpenter shorts I typically wear during the summer. Not only did it relieve my anxiety of dropping a knife down a drain, but it also gave me a way to quickly get my knife out of the road if a vehicle came my way.
Thanks, Jack; I thoroughly enjoyed the vacation, even if I'm not as "active" as I used to be while there....
Hope you've had a great time Gary, interesting pics

What a great idea for your grandson's birthday, John!@Primble love the gift. For my grandson's birthday last month I sent him 5 $1s, 5 $2s, 2 $5s, 2 $10s, and 3 $20s in a new billfold. He had to use them to master counting / math up to 100 before he was allowed to spend them. He quickly reached that goal and just as quick spent them all save one $2 bill. They still make $2 bills but had to go to the main bank for them.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend, I love this knife, honored to make post 230000 in this thread!!!
Jim, I'll bet that ravishing canoe floats your boat!
...
That baseball knife is sensational!
Tremendous twosome, Steve; that golden stag lambsfoot always makes me smile!
Grand green Vic Electrician!
A Tinker sure is a capable knife IMHO!
That’s really cool Bart. I bet he’s going to love it. One day he will be showing his collection to his kids and I bet he starts with, “Here’s my first knife that your grandpa gave me on my 10th birthday.”Same old knife, same old backdrop
I also carried this one…in from the truck tonight.
My son is turning 10 in a couple of weeks. One day last week when I got home he said he wanted to look through all my knives with me, which was pretty cool. My wife and I decided it was time for him to get his own knife. I hope I did okay; there are so many choices it is hard to pick.
By the way, after looking through all my knives, he determined that my Urban Jack has “the perfect spear blade.”
Thanks. That one came “home” in a trade with Jeremy

, glad to have it back. 
Welcome to our world.
Very cool picture Rachel.
It's going to be hard to not carry that one.
I think that is a perfect First Knife.
Nice to see you posting again, Jose.
Thanks, John. Little guy was moving so fast, I didn't know if he'd stay in focus.Very cool picture Rachel.
