Left the homestead with two knives today and drove to my favorite woods. The Case stockman stayed in the truck while I took the Oregon Trapper on a 3 mile off trail loop around the hardwoods. The three of us are back home and reunited as of this posting.

I just love this Opinel!! I've carried it for the last week or so - it has a custom San Mai blade from Davide Steri - and it's a cutting demon!! Cardboard boxes don't stand a chance, and my mail opens itself when it sees this knife coming!!

Let's do the Time Warp again! 
But I'm usually lurking around 3 days to a week behind most of y'all.

Couple of splendid photos of a pair of admirable knives, Jeff!
Knives, sheath, and radiator are all winners, Greg!Queen mountain man on the belt and Case whittler in the pocket today. The Queen is a big knife to carry and I doubt I will need it today but it rides well in the pancake sheath on the belt and the additional weight goes unnoticed.
Must feel good to be barking with the big Dogs!
Those are a couple of very desirable vintage knives, IMHO!
No need to apologize, Rob. It is comforting to know that The Porch has a resident Certified Rorschach Knifeologist in our midst. I, for one, sleep more soundly at night knowing that.
You guys are immensely entertaining!
I'm definitely lurking about, almost ALL the time.
Now Jiki, on the other hand, might need to be really concerned about his knife today .........
........... that's all I'm going to say at this point ............ never know if that threatening GT might be lurking about.

Is that Imperial jack about 3.25" closed? Except for the shield, it looks very similar to the knife that brought me here back in 2014, after my wife found this knife she thought once belonged to her dad, and I decided to start carrying a knife again after about 45 years of rarely having a pocket knife on me:
Does that big scout knife seem to be well-made? Looks pretty good!
Thanks, Todd.
Couple of real champs from Charlie, Jack!...
Still bedding in my Waynorth Lambsfoot in ebony, and pairing it with another of Charlie's finest for Old Friends Friday
I ordered a meal recently that included a "coddled egg" and I had to ask the waitress what it was.Thanks John, I must admit, I do coddle this one a bit!
...
Doesn't wine and French toast sound good??
A votre santé!
One of my best friends in college came from Berwyn IL, and I visited his house several times. Berwyn seemed like a nice town, although they had a lot of racial tensions back in the late 60s and early 70s (which was true of many places). Good Vienna hot dog places!Hmm. I think one of my neighbors is from Berwyn.
Mike, did you ever see this Abbott and Costello routine involving 7x13 = 28? A real favorite of mine, since I'm always talking to prospective math teachers about the roles of conceptual knowledge and procedural knowledge in learning math.I watched an Abbot and Constello movie a while back. Great fun
What a beauty!!
Exquisite pair, LT!
Stellar stag stockman!

Now, give me a moment to get a refill if you are going to add to your " ode to forum members".
Always the gentleman Gary.

VERY well made.
I don't even see any cosmetic "defects" on the one I received. (obviously other examples may be different.)
I think the G-10 version was out of stock for a while, but is back in stock again. I know the "Dave Canterbury" version was (same size but NS bolsters and jigged synthetic or bone, not sure which) is also back, so there must have been a second run on both. Who (aside from them) knows if there will be a third run when they sell out again?
I bought the orange G-10, version because I didn't have an orange knife. I might get the Canterbury version later this year ... I haven't decided yet.
Anyway, I'm very happy with it. The G-10 integral bolsters and liners really cut the weight, too. I haven't put it on my grain/grams scale yet (dead battery) but it feels lighter than both my Ulster BSA, and '47 to '54 (based on the can opener) Imperial Engineer's knife.
I've had it clipped to my belt loop (other than when using it) since it arrived.
