Well I started out today with only one knife...I've been at my desk working all day at home and slowly these all accumulated with me.

The one between the beaver and the bull. What it is??

Work carry for tonight.

That's a kick-a combo, right there!!

Simply stunning, my friend! Wow!!

That is called mutual attraction.

You definitely had two happy pockets today Paul.

Excellent choice Will.
I have not seen a folding ruler in ages....timeless classic.

I hear ya, Rick. Apparently, we were what is called a "foster fail" — and, that’s a good thing.

Jim,
It is a good thing.

Top one I can make out enough for (Sears) "Craftsman", so likely a Camillus made?
Looks like "APE" or "AFE" on the bottom one.
Who's name is on the bottom one?
It looks like both are a Camillus production.
Is the top unused (and dropped or misplaced its "CRAFTSMAN" shield somewhere along the way) or does it have stainless blades?

I love the patina on the bottom knife. Makes it look loved and used as intended.

I don't blame you for deciding to put one on the belt. They are good for much more than just peeling and butchering game and cleaning fish.

Seeing yours I'm tempted to put one of mine (both have stainless blades, so will never look as good as your bottom knife) on my belt again.

Steve, they’re both Schrades, model 225. But only the jigged one says so. You’re correct ~ the Craftsman is stainless. It does need a new shield.

The older one was a gift from Rick RLB0414 not long ago

Something told me my birthday carry needed to be a dandy…

It’s an unwritten rule.
Hope it was a good one!

Old Camco advertising Jack, and Bullnose for my pocket.
Music rehearsal is at 7:45, but my body said it was 6:45.
Hope you all have a blessed Sunday!

Some of Mrs Hoovies flowers are coming in. Spring is just around the corner!

Always exciting! I noticed a week ago that we suddenly had a bunch of crocuses blooming (about 2 weeks earlier than usual, I'd estimate). Old photo, but same bulbs that produced current flowers:

Just another day to pick up fallen twigs , branches & etc. with all three of these in the pockets . S&M Barlow , an Ulster that I bought new in late 1961 or early in 1962 , and a Kauhavan Puukkopaja Puukko .

Harry

A treat to see your 1960s Ulster you carried so long!

I'm afraid I've really fallen behind with this thread : Apologies everyone Have a great Sunday

Handsome pair of knives, Jack!

Good morning porchsters.View attachment 2518569

I grew up on a farm, Bob, but we never had lambs and sows together. We didn't realize what we were missing!

Headed to a quick meeting with my tax guy. Oh yay.....
Hope I don't have to sell this one to help pay the piper......

Superb knife, Gary!
I've always done my own taxes (better start on mine this week), but I think I'm going to have to find a "tax guy" for next year.

You've been posting some knives that I think have enviable edges!

Nothing to exciting today just a sunny,peaceful afternoon at the resrevoir.

I saw deer and other wildlife,rescued a little girls hat from the water using my trekking pole after she leaned out the hide window and lost it.

Enjoyed your photos, John!
What's kind of bird is the one in these 2 photos?

Sweet,sweet canoes Gary.

Thanks, Bob.

That Mohawk looks good on you, GT!

Thanks, Chris, but my hats don't fit right anymore.

Enjoying the sun before the rain returns AGAIN.View attachment 2519986

Notable pair, Bob! I don't remember seeing a Franklin knife before; that one has compelling jigging!

My Old Barlow today.
...

I take it out for photos to please those who like it.

I like it, John, and am pleased by your pics!

Couple of cutters with character, Harry!

New rule: if you can’t post a picture, 1000 words minimum describing the knife you’re totin’. Before you know it we’ll have a forum full of Bill Shakespeares. (Ok, so it’d probably be more like the monkeys banging away on typewriters.)

I like the way you use the classic conversion factor (1 Word = 0.001 Picture) in your new rule for a traditional knife forum, Barrett!

I don't think I've ever visited BF on a computer (well, I must've when I created my account back in 2007), only my phone, and it definitely worked for me - I just did it again for this reply!

That's cool that some BF functions are the same on laptop and phone!
Maybe I should look into getting one of those new-fangled "smart phones".

...
I imagine there are certain advantages to quote editing on a lap/desk top over a phone. My Mac is hopelessly obsoleted via planned obsolescence, as is my old desktop, so I am stuck with a phone.
I just deleted the stuff in your post not addressed to me.

Hey~ It’s me who should apologize. You appear to be correct on the ID of my old ELINOX. I believe it is a PIONEER.
You may find this page interesting ~

One for sure clue is that the Soldier, which was military issued, had the year it was made stamped on the tang, and mine doesn’t.
So thanks for setting me straight.
...
Now Gary, “Wanna go play catch?” may
not reel in the dames in any kind of quantity, but all you need is one. And it seems to me that you may have perfected a great way to screen out the riff raff and find the quality, marriage worthy women.
Why bother with one who won’t play catch?

I did something similar, but in my case it was “Wanna go backpacking?”

Jeff, I'm getting by with my 9-year-old MacBook that I always have to plug in because the battery is shot and the IT folks at school say they can't find a replacement battery. I think I know why you might have had problems with my "quoting tip". You can only quote/reply ONE connected chunk of message from a given post. If there are two or more separate parts you want to quote, you have to select/highlight both parts AND everything between them, and then delete the unwanted stuff in between when the quote comes up (as you apparently did in the quote above, and as I must often do).

I knew about Soldiers/SIs having the date stamp, but that's not a great way to try to distinguish between Pioneers and Soldiers in other people's pics because you often can't see the "decisive tang". Thanks for the link! I thought it was very informative, and I intend to read the rest of his related series. (I like the way the brief descriptions in the "index" to his blog say stuff like "Part 5 of the two-part series...")

I like your screening question. I'd like to have used a "20 Questions" screening approach, but I'm afraid I'd have been screened out by all the candidates that would have a screening criterion for guys who asked too many questions, too early.

I miss that band Gary. Great memories attached to some superb music.

As always, your comments are generous and appreciated.

Thanks, Bob. I don't think I remember anything from that band other than "Whiter Shade of Pale", so they were basically a "one-hit wonder" from my high school Top 40 Radio days. I was thrilled to find that video of a live performance from 1967. There's also a much more contemporary performance from maybe 50 years later(?) with the lead singer still killing it in an amazing arrangement with the Danish Symphony Orchestra (and Chorus?).

Thanks GT, this is the third different type of calendar for me desk and is my favorite by quite a large margin.

Music needs more organ nowadays. More real instruments in general. Great song.

Many thanks! They are quite a pair!

I'm kind of old so I remember lots of good organ songs from the 1960s. Great organ solo in the middle of this one:

You can find YouTube videos of appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" by Vanilla Fudge playing "You Keep Me Hanging On" that's hilariously dramatic, but good, featuring plenty of organ (and a fascinating drummer), and by the Young Rascals playing "Good Lovin'" that's also organ driven. And almost anything by The Doors has thrilling organ, too.

Thanks, Gary. The slip was a gift from @sbh06 . He made it for the knife. Jeremy is a great guy.

Taking out a prized CASE from the Real Red Era, 47 Stockman.

"Prized" is an appropriate description of that splendid stockman, Will!

Got a little snow overnight butt nothing like yesterday. Nothing on the plate for today so I'll watch NASCAR with some soft snacks and this Peach Seed jigged amber bone 6347 Stockman. I'll make a good "Stockman Sunday" carry.

Another splendid round-bolstered 6347 stockman, ED!

View attachment 2518866
These two make a pretty useful pair. I’m happy to have them with me today.

I really like that round-bolstered stockman! Which Old Timer model is that, 61OT??

Now THAT is funny! Another pic of my beloved S&M stockman. And yes, I am milking it!

Jeff, I figured both you and Tiger can't play up to your full potentials due to physical challenges.
Yet another handsome round-bolstered stockman!

Thank you Gary, Got that near 10 years ago, remains one of my favorites. Always nice seeing your knife rotation, I need to rotate in more canoes.

GEC 82 Dixie Stockman and a new fixed blade knife today.

I think this is the FIFTH sensational round-bolstered stockman showing up in my multiquotes this time!

5K Qs GT, It appears to me that you're about a week behind. You do know time changes soon, right?? Hurry up, dude!!!

Chris, I think your estimate is quite accurate, but as a certified geezer on a traditional knife forum, I'm very comfortable living in the past.
My advice to you is: Like all the superstar athletes say, Slow down, dude, and let the game come to you!

Yes, "tortilla de patata" o "tortilla española".

Thanks for the confirmation; delicious!
