[Jack Black]

I like that combo Jack, especially the burled handle.
( and yes, there were times my teeth were chattering out on the water!)

Thanks buddy, I can imagine! You must have been glad to get back home Bob!

I'm off to shave my face...like an Englishman!

I will carry these two Robesons today. One older than Mr.P and one about the same age.
It applies to me also!

Thanks kindly Jack. May as well look dapper while abstaining.

Our first stop was usually a pub before seeing family and friends. Drink those sealegs away.

Nice pictures !

This Schrade Congress showed up in yesterday's mail. Cool little knife. It goes into the pocket today along with a 15 barlow. I don't tend to reach for a barlow very often, but it felt like a good choice today.

Merci beaucoup mon frere!

Have a great day everyone Carrying my Hartshead Barlow today, with the Brisa Kephart on cardboard duty (got more arriving today)!

All right then ............ now my head hurts. Back to my French book.
Looks like the cardboard cutting is contagious ! A fine pair of knives to take it on ... I would say.

Not gonna be long before you pass me on your growing Robeson collection Mr. R.
Love both of those !
I reckon I started something, concerning knives being older than somebody. Thinking about it more, I think Harry started it.

 

[Primble]

For Wednesday, I decided to tote my old India Steel Works jack in my watch pocket for another day, since it had been in my Primble display cabinet for a long time and just got rotated out.
Also my little Catt pen that Mr. R. kindly sent me ..... and my "older than somebody around here" NYKC ebony Barlow, since it's wooden Wednesday.

I got some tasty pancakes Bob It's ages since I've had waffles I'm going to have to stop being so abstemious!

Over abstemiouness can lead to crippling austerity!

Still had my Lincoln Jack out this am.View attachment 2091007

Awesome knife

Thanks, Jeff. I don’t remember if I brought that one with me to Janesville last year, but I’ll probably bring it along this year.



Thanks! There are certainly more interesting and more beautiful knives out there, but it’s hard to beat the cutting ability of an Opinel, at least for the stuff I usually use my pocket knives for. And I’ve found the No. 7 to be the Goldilocks size for me… just right.

I don’t remember seeing it, but will look forward to it, my friend.

Love the photos, Josh. You have a good eye for composition.

Ahem... today, I toted this Rosecraft out to the mailbox (three paces) to pick up this new GEC, which was there -- a great (and surprising) development considering my current mail carrier's unique and unknown to me, yet sometimes glaring, challenges.

I then toted the new addition over to the kitchen, and naysayers be darned, proceeded to test its mettle in a rigorous, but diminutive, round of food prep. Let me just say that she's a little monster in the galley, did everything required admirably, and that my faith in this design's utility has been entirely restored. I think the photo speaks for itself in this regard, no?

Thank you Mr. Howard for another winner -- and a celebratory Fat Tuesday to you all!

Yes, we are at the mercy of the mail carrier. I used to have one that always folded my Vintage Guitar magazine, breaking the spine, when all he had to do was roll it up.

Scruffy SAK for the cardiologist, then the Boker.

Hope it went well, Jer.

The bunny today. Heavy rain today, so I decided to spend some time in the garage & clean & oil some carbon blades.

Opinel Overload!

I love this knife. I love the red that pops out too. I really hope GEC makes more Barlow’s with this bolster and carbon steel in the future. If I could only have one traditional knife, this would be it. Without this community my favorite knife would never be possible.

Love Bladeforums and and The Porch!!

I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it, it’s the best place to talk knives. Have a great week friends

“My Primble display cabinet”?
I think you mis-spelled “museum”!

We've got both here at the moment! Though neither are self-imposed

 

[Jakeywax31]

Canal street and damascus lamb today.

 

[paulhilborn]

A couple fantastic old knives! I particularly like that EO Hammer Brand. Very cool.



How do you like it, Paul? I’m a big fan of the #25 pattern so I’m hoping to pick up at least one — hopefully the Barglow Acrylic.



Nice Micarta pair.



I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… that’s one of the best looking knives GEC have ever made. I need to carry mine again.

I’ve been carrying this Opinel No. 7 a lot lately.

This recovered #44 has seen a lot of pocket time recently as well, with some other knives swapped in here and there. (I need to do a better job of posting in this thread in a regular basis.)

Hey Barrett, this thread moves so fast and I don't always get to it often enough...I really like the little 25, it's so odd it's endearing and for the Yankee Jack, I totally agree, I too need to carry it more. Hope you and your girls are doing well

A TEW LF to go with my 23.
