Ohhhh my, Elliott, that one is so nice. I'd carry it too. In fact, it would likely kick the other ones out of the pocket for quite a while. :thumbup:

Good thing pants come with multiple pockets! ;)

Reading Jack's earlier post in another thread about "trousers" and your remark about "pants" brings to mind a quote that I used to hear regularly from one of my old partners on the job. He was a former Marine and Vietnam Vet and just a little bit crazy...but the guy you wanted going in the door with you when the chips were down.

Anyway, he used to regularly say: "Men wear trousers. Only sailors wear pants." (That was probably one of the only quotes of his I can use here. :p)

LOL! Sounds like a great guy Elliott! :D
 
Hah!

I had a pal in grade school who had just immigrated here from the UK, and he always laughed when we said "pants." He explained that it's a term reserved for underpants in Britain, while "trousers" go over one's "pants."
Funny quote, Elliott, I'm going to use it some time. :thumbup:

Jerry, that one looks really useful! Do you work on boats, by any chance?
(I'm asking because I do, and a knife like that is just the ticket!)

...although I'd call that more of a sheepsfoot than a wharncliffe, but hey, it's your knife, call it whatever you like! ;)

I do not work on boats. This knife was made by Big Chris. I just admired his work and saw a similar design so had him make this one up for me. But ya, he called the original one I saw his wharncliffe edc. I see what you're saying about the shape though. Wharn/sheep, all good. Slices just as nice :)

Happy to, it's an old Joseph Rogers pattern made by Graham Sparks, a South African maker and guild member. Beautifully made with Kare wood covers.

Looks fantastic my friend, very classy :thumbup:
 
Very classy indeed. Thanks for the details. I'm a sucker for a knife with a "pinchable" blade and that looks very pinchable to me and the wood is quite lovely :thumbup:
 
Two weeks of nonstop EDC for my scout...thought a picture was called for. I love this knife :thumbup: It turns out I'm huge fan of sheepsfoot blades!
