Couple of happy buddies. Aren’t dogs great?🥰
Red. To "match" the smoky sun ups and downs this month. 🤨 (there's no wild fires inside 100+ miles. 😁👍)

Rough Rider RR266 Red jigged bone trapper.
(sorry. I don't have a red smooth bone in my accumulation. The only red synthetics I have are the SAK's. I "need" to "fix" that. ..mebby in 2025 or 2027 ... 🤔🙄)

2021 SAK "YEAR OF THE OX" Huntsman. (SN 2170/8000)
Genuine Whitetail Deer antler button on the fob. Do that make it qualify for "Stag Saturday"?

SAK Mni Champ.

SAK Hercules.

I might add my MAM Sheepsfoot, in case I need a straight edge larger than the Mini Champ's.

Hope Y'all have a grand "weekend".
That Victorinox Hercules is just a great knife
Admiring others here on BF, I have been wanting one of these for awhile, and what did I find at a small knife show. A Camillus 23 Big Jack. This is mint condition,it looks brand new. This knife is awesome. I still don't know the date this was made, the seller said early 50's.

The 23 is a personal favorite of mine.
That tang stamp started right around 1950, so it was indeed made then or later.

Hope to see it often!
 
Bacon and eggs on this cold and frosty morning

Can you send some of that "cold frosty morning" to southeast Michigan?
Thank you sir. It is much harder to recover from surgery, as I am finding out, with a few years on me. 16 years ago, I had the same procedure on the same knee, without incident. This time staph got me during surgery. The restaurant is a beast, but I shall tame it!
Age has a way, bad way, of doing that to a person my friend. Get out the ladder back chair and bullwhip if needed
 
Today's carry is a new one. Boker Series 2.0 med stockman with D2 blades.
These are marketed by Boker as "imported from Germany". I'm guessing that means the blades were made outside that country and the parts assembled in Germany. Nice knife. Crisp action, with a spring strength of about 5.

I note that some of the knife vendors have these marked as "Imported from China". BokerUSA web site says "Germany".

It is Much, Much better than their Series 1 medium stockman, which had "stainless" blade steel. Blades on the 2.0 are thicker, and unlike the Series 1, the inner surfaces of the long pulls on the 2.0 are not radiused. I refuse to carry my Series 1 because the pulls are radiused, the blades ar thin and as a result I can't open the durned thing without a pair of pliers. But the 2.0 is very nice, a major improvement over the Series 1.
