I've been on the road quite a bit the past few weeks, a couple trips to Quincy, Il to get things in order for mom's move into assisted living. Then in KY at a gathering of friends for 5 days of bow building, archery, good cooking and bourbon sipping.
I don't post from my phone so have to be home with my laptop at hand. I've rotated a few in the pocket during the trips but
the past few days I've been carrying this DI Calf Roper, It's a very good EDC stockman as most who have one would likely
agree. :)

My off-the-rotation-schedule week continues. None of the relatively new knives I'm carrying this week have stag or horn handles, so I don't have a good candidate to show for Stag/Horn Knife of the Week (typically a Tuesday category for me). Since I finished my taxes yesterday (except for the city income tax, which I have to file by April 30 and I'll owe nothing since the city of Grand Rapids doesn't tax Social Security benefits, retirement funds, annuities, etc.), I'm going to show this Rough Ryder Texas Star sowbelly stockman. Note that there's little difference between the words "taxes" and "Texas". Here are some photos, including a close-up of the very "busy" etch on the clip blade.

My Work Knife of the Week is a Marble's smooth white bone stainless sod buster jr. pattern; it's a very likable knife that easily cut up ingredients for my "enriched" oatmeal:
