Sublime stag on that knife, Joshua! Churchill, right?
(Another of the relatively few GECs that have caught my fancy; wish they'd make one with a spear main.)


Thanks for the additional info.


Hope the storm ride wasn't too rough, and that the Chief-carving goes well!


Thanks for the additional info, including pics, Jeff; really impressive knife!!


That is one funky foto!


Looking good, Alan! Is that a tulip tree leaf?
(I haven't been listing the tater skin RR you sent me among my carries the past few weeks, but it's constantly in the backpack I carry daily.)


Best wishes with the critter and the copperhead!


Notable pair, Steve (as always)!!


Really like the covers on that one! Some kind of acrylic?


Couple of sturdy stag beasts, Jack!!




I admire so many of your knives, many of which are models that only appear in your posts!!

Thanks, Gary! Churchill is correct! The didn’t make any Churchills with a spear, but they did make a couple of other knives on the 35 pattern with a spear and punch.
 
I'm not sure about the leaf Gary. It was in the park. The Rough Ryder has exceeded all my expectations especially considering it's smaller than my usual carry.
 
2 more Rough Riders I'm carrying this week, from my set of 12 RRs that were the first RRs I ever bought back in 2014.
Yesterday I mentioned that I didn't really like carrying big trappers, but I sure enjoy carrying 3.5" trappers like this medium trapper from RR. (I like the name medium trapper better than Case's mini trapper for the same size knife.)

I don't know why I've never really warmed to carrying/using Barlows (other than my rosewood Hartshead lambsfoot Barlow). This RR Barlow is a well-made knife, but I don't carry it any more than my "egalitarian schedule" prescribes.

Thanks - I am not sure about the covers - acrylic seems like a good guess. The gold layer sits at the surface and then it is clear below that …..

Thanks, Todd.

I think it has to do with age. The younger trees in the neighborhood are changing. Our maple is about 15 years old and is still completely green.

I do enjoy it. Almost the perfect knife 👍In fact I carried again yesterday.

Thanks, Gary.

Can wait to see what you catch!

Dont know how you can go too long without carrying that one, but then again you have a lot of good choices 👍

Welcome back, David, and thanks for the update; your story is a real inspiration! I hope that the situation continues to improve for your wife and you!


I very rarely wear overalls (I have a pair of Big Macs from about 1972), but when I do, I've given up trying to carry a knife in a "chest pocket". Every time I have to sit on the toilet and the front of the overalls folds down, any knife in a chest pocket falls out!


Great grains!!

Thanks GT, things get better every day! We got a call today from the endocrinologist to say a biopsy of a nodule they found on her thyroid came back benign!
On the overalls I have found to carefully fold the top over in a way that keeps everything in place. But only after my '21 Forum knife took a chip after a high dive onto a tile floor 😳20221111_155734.jpg
I smoothed the edges with some 1000 grit emory paper, lesson learned the hard way I reckon.

Not a terribly awful bad chip. I'd just consider it part of the charm and character of a beloved working knife
Good job smoothing the edges. Had to smooth some edges on a Schatt & Morgan I got second hand
Used the finest grit belt that came with the Ken Onion Work Sharp. Worked out better than expected
