[dave308ek]

5:30 am // seems today is a day for double blades to take with me to appointments.

Two of my favourite knives for both people they came from. Hope you're doing well Bob and you too Ron

Yep Tim, 2 great knives, 2 great blades from 2 great people. :thumbup:

Your Barlow looks fantastic Mark. :thumbup:

I just got this Seahorse Whittler as a groomsman gift the other day. I've been wanting one for a while, and its exceeded my expectations so far.

Super nice Whittler, what a great gift.

Craig Brewer today:

Amazing craftsmanship and beautiful lines on that one. :thumbup:

Carrying my new K'roo today

Cool knife jr, heavy duty looking blade. Lots of great South African knifemakers out there. (hope I got the region right)

A.Wright Sheffield England keeping me company today

Awesome looking knife Brother Jim :thumbup:

Wow what great examples of Farmer Jacks.

Ron, your photos are great, love that pair

Great shot of some great knives. Figures AAC would make a CAN cover

Beauties HWF!!!

glen does some great work (that shield looks familiar). Very nice knife David

I never tire of that Black Davison Jake

I would never tire of that Genuine TC either.

This Blackwood Lime Cutter arrived today so carried asap to a deck stain job:thumbup: it was paired with my favorite knife of all, my Gabon Ebony Spear/Pen TC

Awesome Lime Cutter, you must have some tough limes up there Paul. Looks great paired with your favorite. :thumbup:

Great photo Gary, love the black SAK and lanyard (I have to look that up again how you hand tied the end)


Stockman for me again.

Thank you Jack, can't wait to see more of that Haywood. That was a very nice gift from Stephen. flaring spring interesting

Cheers Dave, the spring widens as it moves away from the pivot, apparently a regular feature on Sheffield knives in the far past, but it disappeared at some point. I'll try to get pics soon

Cool pic :thumbup:

Beautiful Farmer Jack Robin :thumbup:

Lovely Brewer, nicely photographed :thumbup:

David
The green bone on that Queen gunstock looks wonderful! The knife is a beauty!

+1 :thumbup:

I carried this one yesterday while we were hiking in the Blue Ridge mountains.

This one was with me while I was zip lining with the kids today and saw some use on a couple farmhouse ales this evening.

Sounds like you're having a great time my friend :thumbup:

That Lime Cutter is an interesting knife Paul :thumbup:

Off to the docs this morning for a routine check-up. Thought I'd carry my Kastor Doctor's Knife



Not sure why I don't have a better pic of this one

Thank you Jack, hope all is well with you as well, nice setup

Stockman for me again.

Thank you Dave, good looking Schrade and I really like the selection of knives you've got for display in the back. Is it a wall hanger? I often hope to do so in the future but worry of tenacious fingers opening the case and them all falling out xD

felt like the reassuring sawcut today, love this knife.

Beautiful TC Drew, did you do the EO on that one yourself? Knives in my pocket are often act as 'worry stones' as well for me.

Tim - Thank you Tim Nothing like a pair of Jack's to tag along for the day :thumbup:

I was Totin' this pair today, Viper in Osage Orange and a Vic Cadet in Autumn Orange

Anytime Ron , that OO is darkening up quite nicely with each carry.

It's Buffalo Horn Tim. I love this single blade Barlow in C70 carbon steel (?). It takes a fine edge. I wish I could cherry pick an example of this knife. As you can see, the handle pins/rivets were put in just slightly too aggressively and there's minor damage to the horn. The "damage" is all cosmetic though.

Still looks amazing nevertheless to me, the same is said of my resolza but it functions perfectly and wonderfully, horn is a wonderful cover medium, really shines through with depth in lighting.

Thank you Jack, hope all is well with you as well, nice setup

Thanks Tim :thumbup:

After viewing this thread above about 'the unassuming penknife' the name of the game today is penknife usage on this wonderful 56 Dogleg Jack. Not carrying the tramontina , just left it out on the balcony coffee table this morn

 

[Gary W. Graley]

...Great photo Gary, love the black SAK and lanyard (I have to look that up again how you hand tied the end)

Thanks Dave, also on that Pioneer, I changed out the split ring to a smaller diameter one, a lot handier carry that way, as the original one was far wider than the knife itself

And here is a link to how to tie that diamond knot

Close Gary, here in Australia & New Zealand they are called a "Pick & Tweezers" The pick being used to pick/dig a splinter or thorn out then the tweezers to extract it.
Not sure how common they are in other parts of the world but they were very common here in traditional knives out of Sheffield & Germany(Not seen much on new knives these days)
Schrade did them on an Old Timer Trapper Pattern 96 OT - not sure if that was made generally or only for the Aussie & New Zealand Markets
Here is a better photo of a P&T with a Henry Boker.

Derek

Old Timer also did a 97OT (Clip Blade & Saw Blade) that I eyed a few years ago , not knowing of the switch to Taylor Brands. One day I stopped by the Lumberyard it was at while traveling through that town to finally buy it and it was gone. Taylor still makes it, but I'd rather have a USA version. Should have bought it the first time it caught my eye.

Wooden Wednesday, y'all.

How about Wharncliffe Whittler Wednesday?

 

[Lhpanther]

Great knife on a great morning!

 

[Alnamvet68]

Carrying my new K'roo today

I give up, what is a K'roo?

 

[Lhpanther]

I give up, what is a K'roo?

Knife maker name I believe. He's a pretty active poster on another knife forum.

 

[jrtodd46]

I give up, what is a K'roo?

I guess you could say its the company name. The maker's name is Willem O'Kelly and he lives in South Africa. He makes Fixed, Slipjoints, and Friction Folders.

 

[oldmanrunning]

Today the nut and the halfwhit seem to compliment each other.

[RDaneel]

That is a beautiful long pull, Drew. Did you do the mod?

felt like the reassuring sawcut today, love this knife.

 

[Peregrin]

I put this one in my pocket today for something different. 1985 Puma Lord that I bought new for $100.00 at a Cutlery World in the mall. It broke my heart when that store closed.

 

[SadSappySucker]

Acadian that is some beautiful osage.
