Yes, it’s a great pattern. Congrats on your “new” Henkles! Love the stag.
How do you like it compared to the very similar Schrade?
My only quibble would be that I’d prefer a coping blade instead of the pen. That blade is perfect for woodwork.
Do you have any of the Camillus Carpenter’s Whittlers, #72? Conventional spring layout, instead of the splitback, and it lacks that sexy handle shape, but the blades are superb.

Todd, owls don’t care what knife you’re totin.
They were talking about one of two things, maybe both~
“Let’s mate!”,
Or
“Todd has a lot of rodents here. Let’s eat!”

Still, you chose well.

You’re probably right Jeff, especially the second one.

21 Barlow and Jack’s HHB.

Owls are a simple and easy-going sort, but do you have any insight into what the blue jays in my front yard are going on about?

 

[SCFlyGuy]

A couple of old Rodgers.

I’d love to hear the stories that those knives could tell!!

 

[Frank.K]

For work today I carried the rugged GEC 71 and now I’m toting my new A. Wright and Son lambsfoot.

One evening on the trapline I was heading back to the shack on my snow machine,racing against a really heavy snow fall when I saw this big white blur coming down on me,just like that I was almost knocked out cold,when I got my witts about me I realized a big white snowy owl decided to remove my beaver hat from my head,my hat was okay but my goggles got the worst of his Tallons.

Ashley's Choice Lamb and a Possum Skinner



View attachment 2466526

Couple of high quality knives, Steve!

Buck 424 lockback. A light, solid knife with basically a #501 blade for a lot less. 444, 484 same. Just no nail nics or swedges. I'll be glad when it warms up. Jack and Shingles doesn't care

Thanks for the helpful info comparing some Buck lockbacks!

The freezing rain is supposed to end in the next hour or so.

Always good to have a spare wick

Not a big fan of "back yard on ice", Mike!
The Possum Skinners like yours and SteveC's are splendid "improved muskrats"!

Thanks Gary, yes that model is the Settler and one day you will find one.

Thanks for confirming the model name, José. I wish I had as much confidence as you do in my ability to eventually find one.

Thanks, Gary. I'm thinking now, as an additional prop, that I should have thrown a double 00 buckshot shell into the pic as well.

today's carry

Cherish the Churchill, Greg!!

Thanks GT, it’s great to be back. I am enjoying trying to catch up on everything I missed (2 forum knives, yikes). Fine fleet of canoes! I have never explored that pattern, but now I have an itch to try it

These two on an icy Monday.

View attachment 2466806

You should definitely try a canoe example and report your reactions, Tom!
Superior scout knife!

If I could I would triple that Humpback!!
That’s SCHWEETT!!!
John

Thanks for your enthusiasm, John!
The humpback is a nice variation on the standard stockman.

Ran out of the house in a rush. Turned out to be a double lamb day!!

View attachment 2467075

And not just ANY double lamb day – striking handles on both of those lambsfoot knives, Paul!

I’m envious of your adult leagues, Gary. The only playing I get is practicing with my son. Although he keeps me busy and we have a lot of fun doing it. He’s lucky I love baseball, and I’m lucky he loves baseball.

I have a 69 year old friend who plays softball every summer. He said the best hit you could have was a ground ball because everybody had a hard time bending over to field it

Bart, the softball teams turned out to be the sources of some of my most meaningful "friend groups" for most of my adult life, especially when I was single and in grad school and the softball team provided a variety of year-round social opportunities.

Mike, I always played on the "regular" teams. Even when I was old enough for the 55+ league, I don't think I was good enough. Those senior leagues were full of hard-core players who were prime examples of "survival of the fittest"!

That's a whale of a knife, José; one of my favorites of yours!

Very generous

That's the truth!

Your Catts caused me to go catatonic, Rob!

Instead of watching the paint dry, I will watch the snow melt.

One for cleaning, one for cutting.

What a pair, Bob; that old stag just stopped me in my tracks!

Double Kroo day today.

K'roos are killing it, Jeremy!

Two great looking and useful knives, GT.

Thank you, sir; you have impeccable taste!

I’ll for sure lay claim to Trapper Tuesday with Paul’s gifted Winchester Spey, but I was considering calling it Jigged Delrin Day, too. View attachment 2467844View attachment 2467843

Exemplary pair of knives, Jeff!

Just got this stealth run 112 in magnacut, so I’ll be carrying this today and for a while. Seems pretty nice. Fit and finish is good, maybe not excellent, there are some gaps. One side of the rosewood is much lighter than the other side, which I like. But, it seems like maybe they were cut from the same piece of wood? I believe you can see grain continuity and a bit of light wood under the darker cover…is that how rosewood works, changing color like that, or maybe getting into the sapwood or something? In any case, I’m happy to have a fancy made in US 112

Superb pair, Steve!
Is that a non-GEC Tidioute jack?? Vintage and vibrant!

STEVE C HAS NO UGLY KNIVES.


I’m done.

I'll jump on your bandwagon, Jon! SteveC always has the goods!

I think I have been absent since sometime in 2021. Just life and stuff got busy. I’ve been having a lot of fun catching up on old posts though, especially following stories here in the Traditional forum that play out over a couple of pages. Beautiful carries today Jack, especially enjoying those two fantastic shields!



Holy cow Mr. P!

These for me today. And a question: I have a “like” button, can someone direct me to the “love” button I can’t seem to find on my own? “Like” just doesn’t quite go far enough for many of knives I am seeing.

View attachment 2468149

Great to see your ebony Beer Scout again; IMHO that's one of your best looking knives!

Cool photo of a couple of sweet knives Greg.

Thank ya, Todd. I haven't been taking many outdoor knife pics lately, either too cold or too rainy outside but the past few days in the 40's makes it feel like springtime. I imagine your weather has been pretty much the same.

Used a big ole sycamore leaf that had blown up against the fence at the shop this morning for the backdrop of todays knives.
Osage and ironwood duo.
