I'm also a big fan of the solo, but I don't carry it as often as I should. Its a near perfect knife if a little sterile. I've considered adding an EZ open notch to mine like a few other people have.
 
Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Case stag Peanut I bought at a gun and knife show 10 years ago. (My rotation schedule also assigned me another Case Peanut in brown Delrin as my Case Knife of the Week; that seems to me to be a glitch in the schedule that I should fix.)

More autumn colors from my yard ~
At our first house, 40 yrs ago, our neighbor, Eileen had a sugar maple. I took two seeds from it and planted them in my little garden. When we bought this place 50 miles north, I brought the two seedlings along.
They're both the same age, but the one by the garden got a rock enclosure with good black soil, while the one by the end of the driveway did not.
Hard to beat the colors of sugar maples in the fall.

This is some domestic variety of Blackberry. It had started with a little row of plants on the neighbor's side, but invaded our side, eventually becoming a huge, impenetrable bramble thicket. They long since had enough of the wicked thorns, and got rid of them on their side. I have always had hopes of a productive blackberry patch, and have spent years cutting paths, and pruning dead canes, but I think I'm done with it. Time to go. I have never been rewarded with a decent berry harvest.
The wild black raspberries on my property reliably provide all the berries we can eat ~ I have gallons in the freezer which will last us til next year's picking time.
Anyway, blackberries turn a pretty shade of red in the fall.

Today it's a Single blade Vintage jigged bone Sowbelly in my pocket made in 2002 the second year of the Case/Bose Sowbelly collaboration. Had to put my pants on early as I've got a guy coming to adjust our yard light. It's on a thirty foot tall pole and at my age I'm not climbing an extension ladder to get to it. ???? for breakfast.
