Great pic Gary :thumbup:

Love this thread, but it sure is hard to keep up with it if my "routine" gets interrupted!

I know what you mean GT! :D So many great knives here :thumbup:

Thanks for the info, Jack. My view of museum security may be overly-influenced by a time many years ago when the Dead Sea Scrolls came to our local public museum, and the Israeli security that accompanied the exhibit made it very clear to me that a little keychain Classic knock-off would not be tolerated anywhere near their antiquities!! :eek::rolleyes::o

Oh I dare say it'll come here too GT, probably only budget cuts to thank for the current state of things. By coincidence, one of my school RE (Religious Education) teachers (Miss Eyre) was one of the Dead Sea Scroll translators and would talk about her work, and the accompanying security regularly. She did work for the British, Israeli, US, and Russian governments, and would generally be locked in a heavily guarded closet - she reckoned that the Russians were the most laid back! :D

Nice combo, Jack; I envy your ability to see everything in black and white today! :thumbup::thumbup::D:D As I mentioned in another thread, I so enjoy seeing your Maserin occasionally; thanks! :cool::cool:

Another knife I've been carrying this week is a faux tortoise shell Canyon Creek sunfish.

Thanks my friend! :D I like that faux tortoise shell :thumbup:

Jack - A terrific photo, indeed it is timeless :cool::)

My wife and I traveled to Birmingham today to meet up with my daughter for Fathers Day weekend.

I am traveling light just in case of some new surprises in honor of the occasion :D:eek::D:eek:

Thank you Ron :) Hope you have a lovely weekend and a wonderful Father's Day (the same to all our dads) :thumbup:

Love that Ulster Ryan! A Classic! :cool:

+1 :thumbup:

At the cabin for the weakened. Supper is in our bellies and we're trying to decide between a campfire or watching James Bond in "Thunderball"...


Sounds like a perfect evening :) Great shot :thumbup:


Very cool pic r8shell :thumbup: Hope you enjoy your bottle of Dog ;)

I've been carrying ebony all week and decided to again today, although this one's a bit older. I hope all of you have a great weekend.

Fantastic Stephen, that ebony has a strong pull doesn't it?! :) Hope you have a lovely weekend (along with the rest of you good folks) :thumbup:

Despite the strong and alluring pull of some very nice ebony, I'm moving away from the Dark Side today, and going with some stag ;) :thumbup:

Getting my pic in early today for a change. I picked up this Bret Dowell swayback a month ago or so. This is its first time out on the porch (I know I should be ashamed of myself!)

 
Headed to the farmer's market, these two well crafted knives are with me today,

My personal carry by Mike Craddock, forged W2(round stock from Don), Mike Sakmar mokume gane and nice walrus ivory, sheath by the great Larry Parsons and and a dogleg by Rick Menefee, in fine mammoth ivory

More info on my Craddock here

Have a great weekend
 
Thanks guys, I'm jealous of many of the knives you all post so I need to diversify my collection!! I've been letting go of my production knives as of late so that I can buy these customs. 3-4 birds leave the roost and one fine pigeon comes flyin' in!!

I love that Meneffee dogleg Kris!!!

Mark like always, the Fish Barlow is looking better and better each time you carry it.
 
Awesome knives guys!

A little bit of this and a little bit of that for me today.

Mark that fish barlow is just amazing. I do not have any stag and your examples make me want some more and more. Beautiful work sir!
 
Welcome to the porch. :D would you happen to have a pic of that #25? I don't think I've ever seen a spear primary with a secondary Sheepsfoot. Sure would like to see it. [emoji106]
Thanks for the welcome. Lol, I can be such an idiot some days...or more depending who you ask. I meant my #09...you are of course right, I haven't seen that configuration on a 25 either. Nice idea though [emoji6] . And I'd love to post a picture of my sidekick, but for the life of me can't figure out how to upload pictures to the forum. Do I need to be on a desktop (I'm on my phone..)?
 
Totin this one today. For some reason it comforts me during the not so great days. I think it might be the feel of the jigged bone. Have a great Saturday everyone

Drew, I might have rubbed a bit of the finish off the jigging on that Scout too. ;) Its looking good Bud. :thumbup:
