They are residing in my pocket, awaiting use now.
Primary Pocket carry is not scheduled/anticipated to change until 07-01-2023. If some unforseen cutting task that is "beyond" these two comes up (is that possible?), I will add the appropriate knife (if I have one) for the day(s) needed.
Belt carry (2x SAK + LM) and Rollator carry:

Thank you very much my friend, you are right about thatA couple of fine gifts, Jack!
Very generous folks in here!
Great pics Jeff, your Sabre Barlow is as nice as any I've seenDecided to do a Thrifty Thursday.
Back when I was a kid, Sabre was the budget friendly choice for everyday folks who couldn’t spring for an Imperial or Colonial, much less a Schrade, Camillus, or Case. As I recall, there was a display of Sabre pocket knives in just about every hardware store and gas station. My old fish knife is a yellow Sabre that my Thrifty Scot Grandpa bought me when I was 7 or 8, meaning 1965 or ‘66. And I hope to put it to use soon!

Some tomatoes getting conditioned outside of the greenhouse. They don’t look very big, but the roots are now filling out in the containers, so out they go. I’ve been holding back because it’s been so chilly at night. Put out 24 yesterday ~ Mortgage Lifter, Dominico (my size champ last year ~ nearing three pound tomatoes), Purple Russian, Watermelon Beef Steak (anew one for me, supposed to produce giant fruits), and a couple Super Sioux and Powers Heirloom.
That leaves nine more varieties, including some paste types, and cheeries. It looks a little crazy, but given that my tomato seed supplier carries somewher around 150 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, some quite rare, I keep trying different ones while sticking with the ones that perform best for me, based on disease resistance, productivity, and above all, taste.
Best tasting? Cherokee Chocolate. That’s what these are.View attachment 2203561
A better photo of the Sabre Grandad Barlow. I think the bone is great. Sawcut and well fitted by Japanese cutlers.View attachment 2203562
