Thanks! Welcome to the porch Floyd, there’s no dump questions here as long as it pertains knives. This is a Northfield 23 with Red Spiral Buffalo Horn, I have no idea how Bill did the jigging on these horn covers but I fell in love with it 12 years ago at first site.

So how did it go? Does the pen stay in okay? I have a similar one with a pocket at the bottom that the pen rests in (like Jon’s above) It works well. Yours looks good

A Giants Jersey at a Dodgers game is a different story

I always love seeing that one

So far so good, Bart. It’s been in my pocket every day this week with great results. The loop is sized such that you can get the pen in pretty easily but also so that it holds it securely without allowing it to move at all in your pocket. Thanks for the kind words.

Been enjoying seeing your EJ.

Welcome to the porch...you will enjoy it here. Do you go by Floyd?
I have always liked the Mercatur design.

Thanks, Bob! Yup, I go by Floyd, and all "Pink" jokes are welcome (to the machine)....(there's a deep cut for the music heads among us). I really like the Mercatur too! For such a simple design, it's extremely effective. It finds it's way into my pocket more than I thought it would.

I’ve been kind of keeping it simple this week. Blue Cadet the past three days. I’ll have to catch up on this thread tomorrow morning over coffee. I’m 9 pages behind.

I've been relatively inactive for a bit, we moved cities at the beginning of the year for my wife's job and we've been in a a short term rental while waiting on our house (fingers crossed for next week!) that being said I only have a few knives everything else is in boxes at our old house. Funny enough I wasn't feeling super attached to my bunny knife and was considering passing it along when I first got it....buuut back when I first opened it my wife called for me and without thinking I slipped it in my pocket...with my keys and scratched up the bolsters on it so it was mine since then

That nice grouping seems quite sufficient for any cutting needs.
All is not lost with the bunny...scratches can be eliminated ( if not too deep) with some elbow grease.
I wish you luck with your move.

Nice pairing David.

Thank you Bob!

It's great to see those beauties again I love the look of French Ivory Maybe time to resurrect the old French Ivory thread!

Thanks a lot, Jack!!! It would be great to see French Ivory on some new slicers, too!

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

Those two beauties go together very nicely, like Flora and Toast! I'm sure your Brisa made mincemeat out of the cardboard!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Double black for the market

Very cool pairing for your day at the market; it sounds like a fun and tasty day, as well!

The Bunny still occupies my left front pocket most days anymore.

Case Knife of the Week came up a 1975 red bone canoe (top ten in both my Canoe category and my Case category), so I'm a happy guy this week, despite the rotten weather today (old photo - no blue skies here):


Colonial/Imperial/Old Timer of the Week is an 89OT (called Blazer, I think). Nice stockman with a serrated sheepsfoot blade; I kind of like having a serrated blade available wherever I go.

Welcome to the Porch! To paraphrase Mr. Clapton, “If you wanna get down…down on the ground…Cocaine”. Sold my car, sold my house, sold my wife…Cocaine. To give credit where credit is due I must point out that this is from a song parody by Dr. Gonzo, the Doc of Comedy Rock!

Thanks man! And thanks for getting that Clapton song stuck in my head now . The Higonokami knife always struck me as the ultimate cocaine chopper knife. The knife is so raw, basic & brutalist, and it's aesthetic perfectly pairs with the garbage coke that it would probably cut. Mind you, I'm not advocating cocaine use at all, quite the opposite! My partying days ended back in the early aughts back when I still had hair LOL.

Mine ended as well with the demise of Miami Vice. But man the stories I could tell!

Agreed
Not sure what else ya got in your boxes
But that seems ...more than sufficient for any day to day cutting tasks

I cant tell tho, what's the buck slippy? Looks too small to be a 301 but it's a tough angle
