Some nice old red bones shown this morning by Mark and OH and some nice newer models also shown, which inspired my carry for today.

Very nice! I've been lurking in this thread for quite a while and finally got around to getting my account fixed so I could post.

This knife reminds me of the knife my dad purchased the day he started work at South Central Bell (that's pre-AT&T and cell phone days Bell). He carried that one knife religiously every day until long after he retired. He dropped it in the lake once when fishing. The boat was in 120' of water so we triangulated the location as best we could and returned to the house for a speaker magnet. He bounced that magnet on the bottom until he felt the 'click'. We retrieved that knife and he continued to carry it until recently when it was lost to the hay field for good, it seems. Thanks for posting that image - brings back good memories.
 
My new Kissing Crane sod buster again today. It's so well made and so sharp!

Flyboy, welcome. Thanks for sharing the story. Your dad clearly loved that knife. Hopefully, it will be turn someday.

This is my latest flea market find, a Boker USA 8348. It was in pretty bad shape but after some cleaning and overall TLC it has been an enjoyable carry for the last few weeks. This is my first Boker USA and I've been surprised at the lack of internet info available on these knives. Any details that anyone can share on the 8348 would be greatly welcomed.

Oooh-- noice. What's the handle material? I think I may like it even better than the wood I've seen on others' Jokers.

A little better pic. Maybe one day I'll learn how to take a pic as well as you guys.

You're doing just fine, and are way ahead of many, knowing how to post pictures at all. Thanks for sharing your knives with us. That appaloosa barlow continues to stun. :)

I'd hoped to capture the goodness of the knives and the company, and my gratitude for the same. Thank you for your kind words.
