I don’t know about all those wood-handles knives before but I can definitely see faces in this one 😁

It’s cool that you have your “regular” lamb you carry all the time, John. Are you calling that and your wedding ring pointless?😁
 
Thank you very much, Jack!!! :)

Outstanding British Military museum piece you've paired up with your lovely HHB on this Veterans Day; love the 'jack" design of the Marlin Spike, too! :cool: :cool: 👍👍

Toting a couple of Camillus Scouts today. :)
Many thanks JJ, that's a stunning pair of Scouts :cool: Great to see them together :) :thumbsup:

Congratulations John :) :thumbsup:

Have a great weekend folks :) Here, it is very much a weekend of remembrance - Armistice Day yesterday, Remembrance Sunday tomorrow - so I'm carrying another military knife from WW1 (8173-1914 pattern by Joseph Allen), along with my trusty Hartshead Barlow :thumbsup:

Not much to say, I just sit and admire those two fine knives.
Enjoy your day Jack.
 
Thank you. Nearly forty knives carried & used on the days posted & as yet I don't think I've posted the same knife twice....
These have been my work "users", I'll have to start & carry some that are my "clean clothes" knives. 😄



The brass one is my first attempt at a slip-joint made some years ago, inspired by the Douk Douk, only five parts, one piece sheet brass body, blade, spring & two rivets.
That’s really cool. 🤙
 
2 more of my original set of 12 Rough Riders that I've been totin' this week.
Based only on photos, I thought I was going to be a big fan of the congress pattern. But once I got this RR congress and used it for a while, I just wasn't very excited by the experience. I think it's my only example of a congress knife (except for a small Case XX half-congress I won in a GAW).

I really like the 3-blade stockman pattern, and it seems like I should enjoy whittlers as well. I think I do enjoy the pattern, but for some reason I rarely carry my whittlers as "free choices". That includes my first whittler, this one from RR.

As we all have grown kids who are now cranking out kids, my three other siblings and I find it hard to all go to Mom ‘n Dad’s for Thanksgiving like we always have and love to do. So we’re having a Thanksgiving Dinner today at their house.
I said I’d smoke a turkey, which I did yesterday for seven hours. It’s now in the oven to finish off.
Then, my sister said she’d bring a salad, and I said great ~ let me bring stuff out of the garden.
Then, my brother said he’d roast a bunch of vegetables, and I said great ~ let me bring stuff out of the garden.

Much colder weather is on the way, so I figured I may as well harvest stuff anyway.
I have enough crammed in the fridge to fill a huge cooler, which is fine, because whatever doesn’t get used in today’s meal will go into Mom’s fridge.
But I still have a ton of stuff out in the garden. I picked three gallons of brussels sprouts, and that was only half of what’s out there.
It got down to 29f last night, so I had to go out there in my bathrobe and check on my plants ~ they all look fine, though the turnips were a bit wilty looking. And while I was out enjoying the cool breeze running up under my robe, I took my morning knife photos.
Do me a favor and have a stupendously fine Sabado. I’m gonna.

Edit: forgot to mention that I have had that Chicago Cutlery Traveller folding filet knife since about 19 and 82. ( that’s the way us old guys say it)
Another home run of a Christmas present from my lively wife. (I meant to type lovely wife, but lively works)
I love the way the walnut and brass pins have aged.
