[5K Qs]

Beauty and the beast. You decide which is which.... View attachment 2500242I hope all a yall’s day is a fine as mine!

And it’s going to get better ~ three of my four Georgia Granddaughters are coming today. I get to meet the new one.

I hope the visit with the grandkids has been a treat for everyone, Jeff!
That old red Pioneer is a beauty for sure!

Haha! At 3 1/4", this little knife might be the right size for an Ewok.

Thanks Gary, had a great time.

Beautiful canoes, that Case is something special.

Thanks, Todd.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Stay Sharp!

What's that golden sleeveboard, the top knife? At first I thought it had TWO awls, but now I wonder if it has any awls at all, but two cutting blades worn down a long way.

Haha it's just a Carnival costume, otherwise we do own regular clothes. You can see them for about 9 days up to Carnival every year.The Slovenian community in Cleveland does a parade with them too. This mask represents an old Slavic pagan demigod who is scaring away the winter with loud noise and brings fertility to the land and its people. Some people find it scary but it's a benevolent figure.

Thanks for the additional information on the Carnival costumes.

I like that Barlow with the turkey on the bolster, José (but I don't remember seeing that one before)!
What kind of wood is used for the handles?

Terrific trio David

I've run out of time, have to finish catching up later! Starting my week with my Albers Lambsfoot, and a sweet IXL Spearpoint Jack, very kindly gifted me by Johnnythefox

Superior pair of knives, Jack!
What is the background behind the Albers?

Looks like the canoe has been pressed into service as an ice/frost breaking vessel!

Although I live in Michigan, I'm not much of a fan of snow. But the snowy background really adds to that colorful Case photo!
Where did you get that Case display stand that you often use in your pics?

The feared Burlap Viper is a passive hunter with the ability to blend effortlessly into it's surroundings. It lies in wait READY TO STRIKE! Don't judge me.

That's a sneaky snake, Chris!

Good to know, Gary. I’m a fan of stouts but I’ll avoid the Little Debbie stout.
...

Forewarned is forearmed, Bart!

On the way to pick up 3 weeks of mail. Beauty of a day here.

Amongst all the bills there was a package from across the pond containing a gift from W Way-Barney
This nifty little ring turn pen knife. The first ring turn I've seen in the flesh.

Thanks, Wayne View attachment 2503033

Congrats on the ring-opener, Mike, and props to W Way-Barney for his thoughtful generosity!

Only need one sitting around reading.
Some redwood burl.View attachment 2503090

Striking, Bob!

Love the super clean lines on your fixed blade Jack

These two in my pocket as I peruse stockman knives online. I realized there are a couple in my collection, but even when I carry them I don’t use them. Not sure why. I am looking at a large Case stockman in carbon steel, jigged bone, and a Buck 301 pretty closely.

View attachment 2503303

Couple of A-list knives there, Tom; your stag sowbelly looks like one of the best stockman patterns you could get!

...

I would buy one of these but I dont think I am He man enough nowadays...

That's an interesting advertisement, John!
I've lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the past 40 years and so far haven't come up with much info about the United Machine Tool Company. I wonder if local antique stores or estate sales would ever have old Jumbo jack knives for sale.

Going with some French ebony & mammoth

Checkmate!!

Nebo does not get a lot of love from flashlight enthusiasts, but I like it a lot. It has become my go to pen light.
...

Many thanks Gary I've bought a bunch of different NEBO lights, and they're great value I even gave Tool Man one

Thanks for your NEBO testimonials, Mike and Jack.
Before my wife brought a NEBO light home, I'd never heard of them.

Voluptuos vintage pair!

Thanks, Bob, it'll be my first time playing in 2 years, but my back and shoulder are better so givin' it a shot. If I can finish 9 holes it'll be a success.

How did the golf turn out for you, Jeff? Glad your "parts" felt good enough to give it a go!

Thanks Gary. It really brought my whole outfit together

Wish I had even half of your fashion sense, Bart!

Thanks, buddy!

I think in the future, I will simply directly address you in reply rather than quote and then attempt to cleanly delete all the voluminous commentary that doesn’t apply to me. One little slip, and things get wonky.

Jeff, you can highlight whatever part of a post is relevant to you and a little "Quote/Reply" option will pop up that allows you (by clicking Quote) to add only the highlighted part to your multi quotes list. It's a time and mind saver!

What's all this then???
Sumptuous stag!

(the one posted earlier is the one on the bottom below)

Jim, you must be one of those "2 is 1, 1 is none" guys! Notable pair!

I think it is GT, this is the tang stamp:

Good wood grain for Wednesday!

Off to babysit the grandson this evening, these two in the pocket.

Cherish the Churchill and the grandson, Greg!

Black Stripe Gang!

For some reason, every time one of these striped TCs shows up, I think of the Bible story about Joseph and his coat of many colors!

This has been my carry for the week, ill be back home tomorrow night and have more options! However this has covered all my needs quite wellView attachment 2505628

I tell you true
A Buck canoe
does well for you!

I just used your tip to reply to this comment! How had I never seen that pop up before?! This revolutionizes multi-quoting! You've pulled back the veil for me and I salute you!

Wear a coat with too many colors nowadays and people might start to think you're a member of a criminal organization, some kind of activist, or some other type of unsavory character - the Technicolor Dream Knife draws slightly less attention and seems like a safer bet overall!

Here is yesterday's carry, in line with Stagurday and day five of Mr. P's 30-Day Barlow-palooza!

In addition to a Barlow for 30 days, I'll be carrying a lambsfoot until our Grand High Guardian, Jack Black , makes his triumphant BF return!

Its from your manor then?

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

You may be cool, but are you sneaking-a-knife-photo in the pew cool? Today I tote the awesome handiwork of glennbad , which I was quite lucky to win in his giveaway last year. Thanks, Glen!
And my classiest in this pattern, a Cattaraugus Electrician.

 

[Modoc ED]

Armchair (recliner) carrying this 3318 today while watching NASCAR. Sausage and pancakes for breakfast.

 

[Bloefield]

Imperial Providence Rhode Island Barlow for Day 4 of The Primble Challenge. Another West-Cut [Western] K5 with different guard than yesterday's. No mud, Everything is frozen.

 

[sf fanatic]

Another beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! Taking it easy today as the gout in my feet is flaring up. Doing some laundry and listening to the Giants spring training game later. Keeping me company the Modoc Special and a fancy lamb. Have a great day folks! View attachment 2509820View attachment 2509821

 

[Pt-Luso]

That’s an interesting one, José. Are those handles cork? Are they stabilized in some way?

Thanks Barrett, yes the handles are made of cork agglomerate, it's quite solid, but I don't know how they stabilized them.

 

[btb01]

Excellent carry Barrett, but where are the two slips?

No slips yesterday!

Thanks Barrett, yes the handles are made of cork agglomerate, it's quite solid, but I don't know how they stabilized them.

They look really cool, and very fitting for a knife from Portugal.

 

[Beard&Owl]

Trail cleanup today

 

[Pt-Luso]

I like that Barlow with the turkey on the bolster, José (but I don't remember seeing that one before)!
What kind of wood is used for the handles?

Thanks Gary, it's a recent purchase this month, but I also don't know what wood are the handles made.

 

[black mamba]

How did the golf turn out for you, Jeff?

Not so good, Gary. We got to the course and it was so crowded we couldn't get on, so I went to a driving range to hit some balls. I over-did it and now my back's spasming again.

 

[Crappie71]

I carried this English Jack to preaching this morning; will most likely stick with it all day.
