A pretty lunch and a nice little knife to boot - that lunch looks awfully skimpy. ;):D

A great choice to carry Ron. :thumbup::)
 
Thanks Ron and Tim. I appreciate that.

Paul - Now that shot seems like a great day is happening; Feet proped up, what looks to be an iced tea, and a 73 with developing patina. Doesn't get much better. :thumbup:

GT : Thanks for your kind comments on my 73 . It appears to be stuck in my pocket since it came and it may turn into my EDC if I am not careful. I carried it all day today.

I can see why! :eek: (I'm repeating myself, but it's Friday night at the end of a looong week.) Your stag 73 is splendid, but I'm almost as impressed with the background you've been using for recent photos. Markesharp recently gifted me a little L. F. & C. penknife, and I've been trying to learn something about that company. Any story you can tell about your Landers, Frary, & Clark "boards"?

They certainly are beautiful knives, Paul; thanks for posting more great photos of your superb stag 73. :thumbup::thumbup: You, Harry, Mark, and Ryan are doing quite a sales job! I've been looking for something special as a 30th wedding anniversary knife, and had decided that I should get my first stag knife of some kind; I was looking at stag canoes, or maybe a stag Powderhorn. But seeing the incredible stag you guys have on your 73s has me leaning far in that direction! :D

...I like that swayback jack, one of the only cases I've considered getting. I know it's a touch smaller than my viper though ;)
Click to expand...
Thanks, Tim! :) The swayback jack is fantastic (but it IS fairly small)! I think I have only 3 Cases: the swayback jack, a chestnut bone Sodbuster Jr whose covers match the swayback very well, and a stainless brown jigged Delrin peanut. I like them all VERY much!

That's a beauty, Lemmy! :thumbup::thumbup: You have a lot of nice toothpicks, if I recall correctly.

This is cool! I can end up where I started with Pete's couple of "cult classics". ;)


I didn't actually CARRY this knife today, but it's been on the kitchen counter doing food prep morning and evening all week. It's a cheap Laguiole from Spain; I think it's Chinese, but the Spanish knife shop owner kept saying "Albacete, Albacete!" (that's the name of a famous knife-making center in Spain) when I asked about importing from China. But the knife is actually very well-made, and has buttery-smooth action; if I worked on the blade a little, it would be a VERY nice user.

I carried my new Victorinox Electrician most of the day, then switched to my Case Sodbuster Jr. for the evening. (The soddie makes a much smoother carry in shorts.)

This one again today, I've forgotten how nicely these sharpen up!

Excellent picture. I wanted a nice old Woolrich jacket. Looked for a while and finally found a mint one from the mid-late 50's based on the tag design. Warmest jacket I own!

Thanks. This jacket is a Filson canvas jacket with wool lining, made in Seattle. Like old knives, they can be found in excellent condition in vintage clothing stores in the Northwest.



The great thing about Filson jackets is the multitude of pockets. Knives get lost in them, only to be rediscovered the next winter!
