Gifted this Lloyd in 52100 and Sambar stag to a friend the other night, he always asks to see what knives I am carrying and wanted help picking one out.

Have a great Sunday!
 
Kris - the Halfrich Rounder is beautiful and the sheath is equally wonderful; but both are surpassed by your generosity in gifting the stag Lloyd. I'm sure your friend must've been thrilled. :thumbup:
 
Some fantastic pics today folks :thumbup:

I don't know what happened to the weather here today! :eek: Shortly before we arrived at Jodrell Bank (http://www.jodrellbank.net/), after a 2 hour drive, the sky darkened, the heavens opened, and it absolutely poured it down, with the rain quickly turning to sleet, and then to snow! After a crisis meeting in the car park, we decided to return another day, and headed for home via one of my favourite pubs. After a great lunch (tomato soup, chilli with hand-cut chips (fat fries), chocolate cake with coconut ice-cream, and 3 pints of imperial stout in my case), we set off back over the hills nursing aching bellies :thumbup:









 
Jack, I love the dashboard pic! Sorry to hear the weather went sour on your day trip, looks to be a pretty awesome observatory. That Vendetta knife posted earlier looks quite interesting, nice find!

Kris, awesome gift for your friend! :thumbup: Lovely carry today too.

Andi, I think your scout is one of my favorites that appear around these parts, beautiful color on those covers :thumbup:
 
I have been carrying this 77 Barlow since it arrived. The seeds are safflower (squirrels don't like these seeds) and the scoop was turned from plum on a lathe. This photo is from yesterday.

Boy howdy, not too shabby... what an understatement! That one's really tickling my fancy. Stunner, for sure. :thumbup:
I really like the looks of the swedge, too, but I am curious to learn if it makes the blade more difficult to open with a "pinch grip" instead of having to use the nick. What do you say to that?

Thanks Duane :) The weather spoiled things a bit, but it was still a nice trip. I've been after an old Vendetta for ages, and scooped that one up on Friday :)
 
Please, let's keep this thread just to actual knife content. Trips and updates belong in the lounge.
 
Today I was carrying a drop point handmade with olive wood hartkapf . the pics don't do it justice .

Man that's a nice piece, it's nice seeing some different for a change instead of the same old stuff

Thanks puukkoman. It can be pinched open but not sure if it's possible when wearing gloves. I live in SoCal and don't wear gloves...
At first I wasn't sure if I'd like the wharnie blade but now I love it. Initially wanted the sheepsfoot but was too late to pull the trigger and only the wharnie was still available. I feel the sheepsfoot along with the longer barlow bolster made the knife look like it had too much steel going on. The clip blade and wharnie gave it a more balanced look. But hey that's just my opinion and everyone has one. Sorry, don't mean to offend the sheepsfoot lovers! I like em too myself but maybe just not on the 77's. I actually early reserved the new SFO 15's with sheepsfoot. Ok I'll stop rambling here. Have a good Sunday everyone!
 
Today I was out & about down in Center City, for a meeting and to run a few errands (had a chance to stop by I. Goldberg, the Army/Navy store, which is always fun! :) ), so I made sure to cover all my bases. These three very capable tools came with me.

Then, when I returned home and changed into my knock-around clothes, I switched it up a little, to this pair.
