[Old Engineer]

John, Todd, Greg, Jon, Bart, & Jeff, thanks for the compliments on my walnut bone 47 stockman. (I'll bet Harry Old Engineer might have one of those, too; he had quite a few knives from that series at one time.)
Jeff, I prefer the look of round bolsters, but I also pretend that round bolsters are easier on pockets than the pointy corners of square bolsters. Probably very similar to my preference for almost sunk joints (canoe and sowbelly stockman are favorite patterns) and my distaste for big sharp tang corners sticking out when a blade is closed. (In reality, I likely won't even live long enough for those "undesirable" factors to make holes in my pockets. )
Tasty Bonus Shot of that 47:

You are correct Gary 5K Qs : Case came out with a Series of 8 in 2016 with that Walnut Rogers Jigged Bone and I was gifted all of them by my Kids .

[JohnDF]

Fantastic collection, Harry.

 

[Old Engineer]

Fantastic collection, Harry.

Thanks John , much appreciated . Every one of them is well made , and none of them has ever been carried yet .

Day before yesterday (Tuesday) when I went up to the mailboxes for mail, I took Cindy with me and we went into town for Chinese carry-out Szechuan Beef and brought it home. I've had it before since my jaw surgery with no problem - just a little spicy. This time, a piece of hot red pepper lodged itself in the crevice between my new gums where they were sewn to my cheek. Bad move!!!!! Lot of pain and swelling. We were scheduled to go to town today but that's not happening. I've got this SS Sowbelly on my desk this morning so, should I need a knife today, this will be the one. Stupid is as Stupid does.

They're not bad on pizza!

I'm gonna carry a little pearl Chipaway Cutlery today.

My wife is the pizza maker in our home. I think the odds of her putting smoked oysters on a pizza are pretty slim!
It sounds good to me though!
I found this old pic of a pizza I ordered in Naples, Quattro Stagioni Pizza. 4 seasons pizza. Clams in the shell on this one. We were at Pizzeria Brandi in Naples, home of the Margherita pizza.

I like your Chipaway Cutlery knife. Looks like an oldie but a goody. Is there an E. C. Simmons mark also?

These two again today...

These are the knives inside the box, they get carried often, but the Lambsfoot on the right hogs the pocket...

Nice group, John. I’m only slightly bothered by your storage method that involves the knives all being piled in on top of each other.

Headed to town today. It'll be the usual stops. I've got an appointment with the Dentist. He (his technician actually) is going clean my teeth. After all my mouth surgeries and jaw replacement, I've only got eight teeth left so it shouldn't take her any time at all. Just think, after I leave the Dentist, I'll be sparkling when I get to the Wagon Wheel Cafe. I'll have to be careful when driving not to smile or the sun reflecting off my newly polished teeth may blind oncoming traffic. This trip calls for something useful yet subdued so I'll be totin this 2-blade Buck 301 with black, burlap, micarta covers.

Do you get a discount on the cleaning, Ed, or do they still charge you the same as all the other patients?

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend, particularly my pals in the USA - enjoy Labor Day weekend, and work on your spelling!

Very Mild Wednesday ... RUSSELL Saw-Cut Bone Granddaddy Barlow

I like that cigar box, and that Barlow makes it look tiny! I’ve only been to Key West once, but I’d love to go back.

Still on the Outer Banks. Have this #35 in my pocket today. Just ate a hot dog for lunch and am headed in to take a nap; will go back out this evening.

That chili dog looks tasty!

I had no idea. We got ours 5 years ago, and we signed up right away. We've saved a bunch of money shopping there. Their gas prices are always the lowest in the area. Significantly lower. More knife money for me!

Same here, Gary. Usually $0.30 to $0.50 per gallon cheaper than anywhere else around here. My truck has an inexplicably large gas tank (36 gallons) so it makes a difference!

I stopped there yesterday to get gas, then Scout and I ran inside to share a hot dog and slice of pizza for lunch. I wasn’t planning on buying anything else, but we found a couple things we “needed” that were on sale, and a couple other thing they had been out of when my wife went over the weekend, and before you know it we’d spent $100. So much for the fuel savings.

Farmboy today with GEC Scout in backpocket.

Now that’s a good GEC!

Yesterday, after picking Eleanor up from school, I took the girls over to a friend’s house so they could swim in the lake. While walking around in the shallow water, I spotted something sticking out of the sandy lake bottom. It turned out to be a Minnesota license plate from 1935.

Here’s what it would have looked like before spending who knows how many years in Lake Minnetonka.

My #35 Camp knife has been sticking around in my pocket for the last week or so.

What a great looking pocket knife.

Thank you, John! As you know, the 62’s, especially the Courthouse Whittlers, have always been among my favorites … along with the 66 Minks, the 56 & 57 Doglegs, the 25’s, the 47’s, the 72’s, the ….

Nice looking stockman John.

 

[JohnDF]

Nice group, John.

Thank you, Barrett.

I’m only slightly bothered by your storage method that involves the knives all being piled in on top of each other

I should throw a couple of celluloid knives in there to really give you nightmares.

I'm a big fan of those old school camp knives.

As you know, the 62’s have always been among my favorites … along with the 66 Minks, the 56 & 57 Doglegs, the 25’s, the 47’s, the 72’s, the …

I'm glad you got it narrowed down.

Nice looking stockman John.

Thank you, Todd.

 

[Jack Black]

Here are a couple more of what I'm calling "my 10 best stockman knives" that I'll carry until next Monday.
Uncle Henry 897UH medium stockman that I think is the standard to which all medium stock knives should be compared (thanks, Dean). Look at those rounded bolsters! Look at those (almost) sunk joints! Look at those low-riding blades (especially the sheepsfoot, Case!)! Look at that long slender clip! (OK, I'd better add another photo.) Look at that Staglon! Look at those sensuous curves in the serpentine frame!

Looking good Lee

Made the weekly Costco run earlier. Took my Cramer Lanny's Clip Jr along for the ride.

Always great to see that one Gary

I'm not sure why I immediately thought of french fries when I saw this. Must be that time of day.

Me too!!

Thank you very kindly, Jack!!!

The AC lambsfoot is not only a beautiful knife, it makes an amazing subject for your wonderful photo too!

Many thanks JJ

Grabbed a couple of wood covered lockbacks this morning.

Great idea to pair those two wooden classics my friend

Thank you Mr. Jack and sorry the doc didn't cooperate. Maybe you need to get rough with him. ( or alternatively, just give him the grouchy treatment )

Thanks Mr P They wrong-footed me with a woman doctor!

Continuing my European Tour of knives with my Tina 606, Victorinox Bunny Hiker, Opinel Carbone No. 8, and a custom Bona made hunter fixed blade ............... for Thursday.

Thinking I might sharpen some kitchen knives today. My Halfrich Small Rounder won't be included. It's razor sharp already.

G'day Porch! Gonna bore you with this carry again, it's become a regular pairing. Pictured on the purple clinker bricks my house and basement window wells are made from, always loved those.
