Love the snow. Gotta have lots. Better for snowmobiling. A little bit of snow is just asking to slam into a tree stump or end up underwater. 😁

It was a mission to find the new to me Barlow. Super glad it didn’t take too long but boy, were my hands cold afterwards. 😂

Loving the Daado. Most excellent.

Me too, thanks! Food, baling twine, chopping the icicle off the furnace outlet, I use it for anything. Best of all, a Porch friend ordered it for me just before he knew we were meeting up at The Blade Show, because "it looked like a knife I would like".

The pocket sheath is genius.

It's a Sowbelly today. Pictured are two Amber Bone Sowbelly knives - both made in 2001. The top one is the one I'm carrying and if you'll notice, the orangr coloring in the bone has worn away and the jigging itself is worn and showing very very very light yellowing of the bone while the bottom one hasn't been used or carried and the full orange coloring is prominent with no yellowing of the bone and the jigging is crisp and sharp.

Now here's one made in 2002 with the coloring and jigging called Antique by Case.

Being one who appreciates a knife well-loved, I like the yellowed and worn one🤜
Antique looks great, too.

Hasn’t left my pocket. I plan on carrying this knife everyday this year. I wanna see how a year of honest carry makes this knife look like.

Friday, 1/24/25. It's a long year. In your favor, it's a fine knife with a blade for anything.
Keep it sharp and oiled!
 
This Boker Medium stockman. Promoted by Boker as German made, but not Solingen, made. So parts imported. I've seen Boker importing parts from Spain as well as Asia. D2 blades, which Boker USA says they harden to a 60 HRC, and they feel like it on the sharpening stones. Fit and finish on a par with Case. two spring stockman. At a hardness of 60, they don't crink the blades, so the are offset. They spey is a shaped almost like a pen blade, which I find more useful than an actual spey blade. Nice little knife.
