Hey thanks!A well bred pair of knives also, Jeff.![]()
Do I detect some Glenbaddery?
You do, but it’s not an 881….its an 881Y!!!Do I detect some Glenbaddery?
Is it an 881?
Love that Camillus Ivoroid.![]()

Bob, I had to attain a certain level of maturity before I started appreciating the Stones.I've always preferred the Stones over those other insects. That song works well Gary.
Once in awhile an idea actually works out, where I don't want to put it in the back of a drawer.![]()
Thanks, Jeff.Great pair GT, kind of a Mutt & Jeff combo.
Nice toothpick, Zach; is the stockman an 8OT (since it's almost as long as the toothpick)?Thanks Gary,5K Qs .
That's a nice looking Case, I like the bolster stamp & coloring on it. That Imperial toothpick is also pretty cool. I don't see many toothpicks with a secondary like that.
You just reminded me that I haven't carried my Imperial toothpick in a while. I think I'll join you
The Schrade Stockman will be along for the ride as well

Thanks, Bob.Gary, the word eclectic does not do this pair justice.Great toothpick
Some days I'm just happy to have my pants!
I like your approach to knives!3 often used, honest, work knives. I enjoy them all. Yeah, I know, I’m a cheap date. I do see my first GEC in my near future though. I just have to find it. I’m thinking gabon ebony #86, sheepsfoot with awl/punch. I really like a #47 as well. But, I digress. Yall have a good one! View attachment 2733502
That Kutmaster punch stockman seed corn knife is superb!
Congrats on that loom fixer, Bob; nice rosewood covers!
Definitely a pair of contenders for Best in Show for Black Friday, Steve!
Sublime knife, Bob!
Wonderful whittler, Greg; the pocket slip and deer carving are also very appealing!Pocketing an older Kissing Cranes whittler for this stag Saturday.

Your CJ lambsfoot Barlow looks great!
I don't have much micarta, but I like what I have. I can't recall ever noticing JIGGED micarta, though; have to keep my eyes out for that.I have a GEC #74 jigged micarta that has turned into a surprisingly able user for me.
That checkered wood handle is uber-appealing, Bob!
Well, first at least YOU have matured Gary. My wife calls me her 8 year old.Bob, I had to attain a certain level of maturity before I started appreciating the Stones.

Sublime knife, Bob!
What's the little stag rectangle? You don't have a set of stag dominoes, do you?

Thank you, sir. I need to try a 2 bladed half hawk. Do you suggest any certain cover? I’d like to see a red spacer lined black micarta highlander version. Aaaand a single blade sowbelly trapper from them in cinnamon bone stag. Thank you for the well-wishing on my hunt…I’ll need it!Outstanding lambsfoot, Jeff; the bone is sensational!
Wonderful flea market find!
I didn't know Petoskey "stone" could be used as a knife cover.
Here's a Vic Explorer with a little Petoskey stone bear in the bakground:

Thanks, Jeff.
I really appreciated your willingness to sell me that Imperial toothpick!
Nice toothpick, Zach; is the stockman an 8OT (since it's almost as long as the toothpick)?
Toothpicks with a secondary blade (other than a fish scaler) have been hard for me to find, but my preference is to have a clip/pen (2 Imperials) or clip/spey (a Buck) toothpick.
Thanks, Bob.(I'm not sure if I'm eclectic, or just disorganized.
)
Some days I'm just happy to have my pants!
Couple of appealing knives!
I like your approach to knives!
I like my electrician knives and RR sowbelly stockman knives and RR half-hawks (although I prefer the 2-blade version of the half-hawk).
Good luck with chasing down a GEC you'd like!

Is that type of fence common in your area? I've never seen anything like that!
