Oh man, that's really badIs it overkill? Yes.
Am I going to carry them both all day anyway? Yes!
The knife is ok
Love the CSC
Oops…. Meant to say Colonial, don’t know how I wrote KabarOh man, that's really bad
If I can remember it, I think I'll use it at the poker game Friday
The knife is ok
The bike
Love the CSC
The barlow is a Colonial. Or did Kabar make some Colonials? Its never safe to assume anything in the pocket knife world
That #66 is loaded with soul. I really took notice of it a couple days ago when you posted it. I love everything about it——the smooth bone, the crack, and most of all the verdigris. It’s a real beauty!On another site someone declared that GEC doesn't make knives with soul anymore. I contend that they never have, that one has to give a knive soul by carrying and using it..
If we're voting our preference between these two splendid Barlows, I've gotta go with the irresistible jigging of the Diamond Edge!For today ..... Hibbard, Spencer, and Bartlett Hardware's Very Best and Shapleigh Hardware's "Diamond Edge" Barlows

I approve of your plan; cherish the Churchill!
Pair of Jacks for the win, Paul!Throw Back Thursday... Vintage Clauss (Case made) and a favorite vintage Keen Kutter Barlow. Main is short on the Clauss, but nicely re-profiled and the Keen Kutter is stellar all around, f&f and walk n talk
Belated congrats on your BF anniversary, Tom; those are a couple of way cool AG Russells from back in those "early days" for you!Realized it is my 11 year anniversary here on the forums, so decided to carry two knives that were in my collection at that time. This proved to be oddly challenging. I typically like to carry a camp knife with another folder or small fixed blade, but I can’t seem to remember exactly when I acquired many of the camp knives. Strange and weirdly specific amnesia. But these two from AG Russel were definitely in my collection in 2013

I like lots of SAK models, and lots of non-SAK camp knives, but the Recruit is precision back-to-basics!
Desirable blade combo on that knife!
Impressive patina on that striped TC already, and I love the matching stripes on the pocket slip!
Attractive knife, but I have a hard time ignoring the food!
Congrats on finding that family heirloom!“The Cowboy” Bullet Knife and my dad’s old Boy Scout camping knife. I had no idea he still had it tucked away after all these years, but I recently found it while going through some of his treasures and I couldn’t have been more excited!

Excellent pair to kick off the month of March, Todd!
Yes, I usually go with a rubber chicken.
Thanks for the info, Jim.Thanks Gary
The "rooster comb" at the end of the knife is actually a blade lock release
Early in our marriage, my wife took me to a southern Indian reservoir, filled a burlap sack with geodes she found, and had me carry the filled sack up the huge hill to "get out of" the reservoir; not sure I ever fully recovered!Thanks GT! I think that one has a geode embedded in it, I’ll have to check it. When I use a waist pack I call it a “satchel”, sounds more Indiana Jones-like
I had fun reading through it again, but I think I have about 8 pages still to go.Ha! Thanks for that trip down memory lane, GT!

license plate guessing GAW? IIRC, you were an avid participant in that one.What IS that you're eating, John? I see fried eggs, but am not familiar with whatever the combination is....
