I  might chang my pocket carry on 01/06 back to the RR Classic Carbon (yellow ) Barlow and Canoe.
This Scout Knife will remain part of my carry.

My new rotation schedule has a couple of new-to-me categories devoted to specific manufacturers.
Case Knife of the Week is a brown sawcut CV Barlow. I'm not really a Barlow guy, so this knife didn't make my list of top ten Cases, but it sure is an appealing knife (and the only Case knife I've ever bought in a brick-and-mortar store).


Colonial/imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week is an Imperial toothpick (thanks, Dave). I'd like to find another clip/pen toothpick similar to this.

That Catt is gorgeous.
It's a half whittler?
I would have called it a swell center pen knife, but I see now that it's also tapered with one end being larger than the other.

Really some nice bone too, nobody does it like that anymore and it's a shame.

As I look for a new job, knives like this bring me happy thoughts of better times. How cool would it have been to get a well made Case stockman in the early 80’s from your boss??

Too much blue? Nah...

That is what they called it in the catalogs, by the model number and illustration. Thank you.

Brand spankin new 55

Never owned a Buck 55 but that picture shows me exactly what dimensions it has, thanks for that comparison!

 

[bigfish64]

That Damast Barlow is quite the looker!

Thanks Gordon, for such a small knife it’s a real bear trap.

Thanks Todd I may not have carried mine enough for it to have faded (yet).

Key word…yet!

A grand double....like the damast pattern.

Thank you Bob.

Good luck, good sir.

Tonight it’s the electrician.

Beautiful Case Barlow Gary, and CV too!

Fantastic wood grain on the Boker.

Thanks buddy, the action is fantastic.

Don’t see anything close to St Louis so I vote Hampton roads area.

In all seriousness, geobatching sucks so no matter where you end up hopefully it will be on a ship that makes things go by quickly.

Geo does suck, I’ve done it twice if I’m including a year in Bahrain. Hopefully I’ll find out next month.

I'm really enjoying all of the beautiful knives on this side of the forum. This one is my 'Pocket Knife'.

Good Morning Porch Friends

Nice Texas Jack, John. Don’t see enough of those.

Hello Porchidians! Apologies for the absence, SHTF right around Xmas, wife went down hard with Covid and slept for a week while I took care of the kiddo. Here's a nice photo dump to hopefully make up for my tardiness.

During the worst part of the cold snap. That frost is inside my house The gas fired furnace could not keep up and I had to run out and buy a kerosene heater and lots of fuel. 40$ a day for kerosene ate up 100% of my knife budget, but beats freezing a water line

Will be busy today catching up as best I can on what ya'll have been carrying. I might make another post with today's carry if I ever put on pants...

Great selection of knives, FC. Hope your wife is feeling better.

 

[Sacto]

Can’t go too long without carrying this one.

Class!

Had these with me today. View attachment 2036560

Great-looking pair Todd

Did wonder if I’d be asked that.

Was born/brought up in Kenya and we brought back souvenirs etc from over the years, however, am of the firmer belief it was one of the shells I brought back from when I lived/worked in Seychelles back in the late 70’s.

I knew a Seychellois guy back then too who was steeped in books and information about the Indian Ocean, and one day he showed me a big book of original watercolours of shells from the seas around the archipelago………kid you not, you’ve never seen shells, shapes and colours like it - seemingly out of this world.

Those kind of days are gone, in many ways, but many memories warm my soul with easy and fond recall

One of my neighbours was born in Kenya Paul, he was a boy during the Mau Mau uprising. Unfortunately, he now has dementia, and has had to go into a care home. Within a few yards, I have other neighbours who were born in the Tower of London, and in a Latvian POW camp, and another who was in Auschwitz as a young girl, (though she mainly lives with her daughter now). Another neighbour also lived in Kenya, but I'm not sure if he was born there

Two superb Thrifty Thursday folders JJ

Have a good Friday folks, and enjoy the weekend

Still bedding in my Waynorth Lambsfoot in ebony, and pairing it with another of Charlie's finest for Old Friends Friday

Typical pangas - most very similar to this, blade shape can vary a little. They're used in many ways, much as tools for chopping/clearing but also for digging and planting...





They've made this kind of basic fixed blade for many years
