Wow.


Too late.View attachment 2136125
I’m envious.

Thanks for obliging me, Bob! Isn’t it a fine pattern?


I like to think that happy and well adjusted dogs are like happy and well adjusted kids.
They reflect well on their parents.

Indeed it is Jeff.

 

[Rufus1949]

i toted these two seafarers today.

You have my heart with that easy open JJ. Very nice.

The day started foggy but ended up being pretty nice. I carried my Schrade 893. I’m pretty excited for opening day, even though the Giants lost

A great Schrade to be carrying Bart.
Still a long way to go inthe season.️

 

[Jack Black]

Hope you’ve enjoyed your birth anniversary at the Toolman’s booth, and please show us what birthday present you chose!

Thanks for the laughs buddy! Tool Man bought me some cake

Happy Birthday Jack Black and Keyopp , I hope you both have a great day! I just happened to have these two with me today and I think they're fitting for the occasion. I even tried to take the photo Keyopp style.

Thank you very much Pat, and a belated Happy Birthday to Keyopp , hope you had a good one sir

Jack Jack Black , have a happy, and hopefully historic, birthday today!!
As your Meatless March winds down, are you planning an animal flesh fest for April Fools Day??

Many thanks Gary I think there's another week of Lent to go yet

You better not go the markets stay home. As you don't want to miss the Letter from King Charles, centennial is a big deal you know
Happy birthday mate.

LOL! Thanks pal

Update for @Modoc ED and others who have asked: Lacey had her post-op checkup today, and is considered fully recovered from the surgery. Now we just have to have her checked every six months to see if the cancer comes back. You can see in this pic that her lower jaw is little bit shorter than it used to be:

And to bring it back around, here's one of the knives I'm currently carrying:

I never had much use for the spey blade on my stockman (it's just the backup to use when everything else is dull), but this full-length spey seems kinda useful.

That's fantastic news Tyson, great pics

Happy Birthday, Jack Black & Keyopp !
This one's for you guys!

Thank you very kindly, Jack!!!

Happy Birthday to you, my friend! I hope you had an outstanding day with your trusty Lambsfoot beauty in your pocket!

Thank you very much JJ, it was a good day

Classy-looking pair of Old Salts my friend

[5K Qs]

Thank you my friend, I've been enjoying some peace and quiet in Charlie's, but the loud trustafarians have just come in from the local park run. They take up twice as much space as everyone else, and a lot more than they are worth! Hope you have a great day

I had to look up that word, Jack; thanks for increasing my word power!

A new pruner in the arsenal.....carried with a Schrade.
Well, it's pouring here, so sitting on a table next to me.

No wobble and plenty of snap.

Congrats on the vintage Wostenholm pruner, Bob; impressive restoration!
What sort of "cleaning compound" did you rub into the stag to rejuvenate it?

LOL! Fab photo Mr P, and Happy Double Lambsfoot Day! I usually go out to get a few Lamb/lamb pics myself, but I haven't had time this year

Great pic of your HHB "in the field", Jack!

Totin a new to me gift from @sunknife
He knew I love Schrades, and now I’m all set for St. Paddy’s Day 2024. Thanks a bunch, Greg!
Limited Edition Schrade Walden Thomas Jefferson

Like Harry said, the knife show was great, and seeing each other even greater.
I did hand my phone to a nice lady so she could take a group photo of us porchsters, But I won’t post it on a public forum, at least until the Statute Of Limitations has run out.
…

Congrats on the rich green stockman, Jeff, and 3 cheers to Greg for his thoughtful generosity!
Glad all you Porchsters could meet up in Janesville; sounds like a great time!

Today I am carrying the knife , after looking at a lot of knives , that I found yesterday at the Badger Blade Show . It is a Taylors Eye Witness Pruner that is likely not very old but in good shape and not carried very much . It , to me , is a very unique knife due to the Blade Orientation which has been shown a couple of years ago . It is an Advertising knife with the name COMET on one side of the blade and MASTABAR-ACCRINGTON on the other .
There was a Comet Belt Lacer sold by Mastabar Mining Equipment from Accrington , Lancashire , England .... Don't know the year that the belt lacer was sold , but I suspect that it may have been in the 1990's .

Maybe Jack Black can put a little closer age to the knife . There was some conversation about this blade orientation in the past . This knife was made like this and is not because some metal has worn . It is not nearly old enough to be in the Old Knives thread .

Harry

Thanks for the interesting info about, and photos of, your new knife, Harry!
You got me interested in what a belt lacer does and how it works, so I used Google to try to find more info. For what it may be worth regarding "age range" of your knife, I found out that Mastabar applied for a US trademark for the name "Comet"(for belt lacing machines) in 1952.

Hard to believe that your month of March with this cool Case is down to the final day!

View attachment 2129491

That's a praiseworthy pair! I like your Yello-Jaket much better than a Chinese Blac-Jaket version with AUS-8 blades I picked up at Menard's several years ago:

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

Still carrying the Hogan and this little cattaraugus bolster lock is in the watch pocket
View attachment 2129757

Dandy duo; I really like the looks of that Barlow with curved handle! I don't think I'm familiar with a bolster lock - how does that operate?

The HHB is showing the ropes to my new trapper.
View attachment 2129930

Congrats on the new amber bone trapper! Is that a full size trapper, or a 3.5" mini trapper? I'm trying, and failing, to figure that out by comparing to your fine stag HHB.

I can't say it passed quickly, but it did pass.

Thanks, Jack. The fatter paycheck will be a nice consolation.

Now that I'm home, the old Boker is joined by my frequent weekend carry:

Bonny brace of knives!

New Case Stockman in amber bone and 20CV blades steel. There's a thread.

Congrats on the new "high-tech" stockman!

Had a couple Imperial Scouts for Saturday.

Immaculate Imperial scouts, JJ!

Had a fantastic time at the knife show this weekend. The knives were great but the guys I met were even better!
Here’s what I brought home. The whisky and the 56 were gifts from @Jakeywax31, thanks Paul. View attachment 2130364
The Diamond Edge and Barlow were too nice to pass up. View attachment 2130368View attachment 2130369

Very nice, Todd!
Looks like you took home plenty of plunder when you invaded Wisconsin!

There are no markings that would indicate Navy issue, but, they did issue one like it. Not sure if they marked the military issued ones differently.
I see what you mean, the first pic of your Hartshead is by far the best one.

Thanks for the info, Rob, and for the comment on my HHB/windchime pics.

It's more like a 3-spring whittler. It has full length drop point and spey on the other end.

Sounds like quite a unique and interesting knife!

...
LOL! I don't believe that for a minute Gary!
...
Have a good week everyone Lambsfoot and a Sheepsfoot for me

Propitious pair of knives, Jack, and the backgrounds have interesting reading material!
I never really thought about the I*XL mark being so old; it looks like the sort of thing someone would invent for text messages, but was granted before 1700!

I like the size of it too Mr. R. ...... measures just over 3 & 7/8" closed ...... and a rich history, from a company that Americans kept house with, in the late 1800's.

As someone with a mustache, I love the background sign. If I don’t wax mine it’s like the Mark Twain, if I do wax it, it’s like the Arthur Conan Doyle but a lot more grey

Nice looking Schrade Bart. I know how you’re feeling. All the pomp and circumstance of opening day and then the Cards lost.

Thanks Gary, it was a ton of fun.

Thanks, Todd. My other team is the Angels and they blew their lead at the end also. At least yours was an exciting game.

When you havent got a harness jack and wish you had one then take a closer look at your 1949 SAK.

Similarties with added bits,would you agree folks???
