Evan, that is one of the most beautiful knives that I have ever seen!

I had the #8 with me today.

I've had most of my knives in storage, but today I broke out my very first traditional for the first time in a few months. It felt like an old friend riding along with me.

The patina on the copper is what I was trying to capture in this photo, somewhat successfully. It's tricky!

(The knife is a Ka-Bar Dog's Head Coppersmith Barlow.)
 


The ancient barlow is taking on a nice patina.

This combination has been getting pocket time for the past few weeks now.
 
Frosty start this morning, sun is coming up, these two are with on this beautiful day

That's nice. Is it natural bone?. I like it, reminds me of Schrade stagalon, which I have a soft spot for.
 
Today it's my Case-Bose WT and a little B&T from Tom Krein.

Thanks, SAK Guy! And, yes, the firesteels are also from BRKT. I try to pair them when I can - with wood it's hard sometimes because of the color variations (see the Lignum Vitae in the first photo), but with synthetic materials, it's much easier to get a good match (like with the white Micarta in the second photo):
