Great peachseed jigging and color on that handle. The easy open ain't so bad, either. ;)

I like the strand of orange running through the middle of that handle!

I might do a little whittlin' today. The Norfolk is a fine tool for it. The Morgan silver dollar was my father in laws good luck piece.

The Norfolk has a unique but really comfortable shape. Yours in Ebony looks very dressed up and great. :thumbup:

Thanks Robb. It's a real comfortable knife to use. At 3 3/4" there's plenty of handle and the Wharncliffe main blade is short enough for close work. The single spring makes it nice and slim in the pocket too.
 
Holy King-of-the-Multi-Quote :applouse:

Neat idea with the second wallet. It was a great lazy day, working my way through the Black Company novels by Glen Cook.
Thanks for the wallet compliment, and for the reading recommendation. :) With regard to multi-quotes, I apparently have to cut back a little; I've found that there are limits to the number of images (photos and emoticons) that can be included in a post (I had one Friday in which I was "flagged" for including 94 images, while only 75 are allowed. :(

...
Gary - Thanks and good luck with that Rainbow! ;) Nice companions there this week! :D

I don't carry this 85 very often, but since it has a nice Christmas color to it!:) Hope everyone has a great weekend! :D

Thanks, Ron. :) Heck of an 85 you have there! :thumbup:

My newest. I think I'll like this blade combo :)

Looks great, Rachel! :cool: Like a pen knife configuration of a Schrade 93OT.

GT : I know nothing about canadian coins but that one's a 1966
The canal street knife is a Cannitler...I searched almost forever to finally find on online a number of weeks ago. I had to cross my fingers that it would actually arrive. The FnF on the cannitler CSC is teriffic.
Thanks for the helpful follow-up info, Steve. :)

Thanks GT. I also have a green Cadet so when I bought the Bantam, I was expecting it to be the same color but it's actually darker.

As for the Orange Cadet, it's vibrant, but maybe not that vibrant..I think the the color adjustment out of my phone camera that makes it look that vibrant. Still love these knives! I need to find a nice Alox Blue now :)

Nice buffalo Horn EO 85
...
I think there has been some blue Alox floating around this fall, Luc. Thanks for the compliment on the EO 85. :)

I'll let my hiking buddies know...Oh! You meant the knives. :) Thanks, GT.

Nice looking 85 you've got there.
...
I carried this sawcut today.

Thanks, Dean. :) Your New Day is an attractive knife; I think I need to find a knife with a spey main! :thumbup:

Picked these 2 with you in mind GT, my dark side fixed and SAK carry for the day :) :D

I'm honored that I could inspire the choice of that delectable, but dangerous, dark duo, Tom; looks great! :thumbup:

...Thanks my friend. I'm lucky, plenty of great countryside close to where I live. Nice to see your set-up :) :thumbup:

Hmmm..The sun is WAY over the yardarm here right now, but I'll try to muster up a few details. Long, long ago, I used to write about knives for the UK magazines which published that kind of stuff. If a knife article was published here, there was a very high chance I wrote it. In the early 1990's, there was a UK company, who distributed the knives of Victorinox, Opinel, Normark, EKA, and a few others, together with lots of other outdoor kit, which I also wrote about. I reviewed the Victorinox Golfer in about 1992, and while I thought it had a great range of tools in a "compact" package, I suggested they change its name. I think my article used the word "compact" 4 or 5 times, and a quote using it was highlighted. Shortly after, Victorinox changed the name of that model from the 'Golfer' to the 'Compact'. Now, I can't say for definite that my article was influential in the change, but I know that Victorinox were sent a copy of my piece by their UK distributor, and that they certainly took notice of what I had to say in at least 2 other articles, suggesting that the gutting blade on the Victorinox Hunter could be the basis for the blade of an emergency release knife for instance. I've never actually got round to asking them, but if nothing more, my suggestions in relation to the Victorinox Golfer are a heck of a coincidence ;)
...
Thanks for the fascinating story, Jack! :thumbup::cool: Makes me think even more highly of Victorinox than I already do, since they're apparently willing to listen to their customers.

Great knives in one of my favorite threads. Neat seeing the slight to extreme varitions we carry to tackle daily knife duties.

Last day of a two and half month new business commitment... Great success with great people:cool::thumbup:

...
Congrats, Paul; great to hear that the new business is developing well! :thumbup:

Late last night...

... I found my THK ..., missing since the first week of August.
...
Sweet relief.

Glad to hear that the long-lost "sheep" is back in the fold! :thumbup:

Not being able to get out of the house, I haven't been totin anything for a while. Today I decided it's been too long and threw this one in my pocket. Old pics, but they're better than indoor pics for now.
...
Superb knife, Bob! :cool: Even when you can't get out, if you have pockets, you should carry a pocket knife! :D

...And of course my favorite 73 , which is almost always in my RFP


Harry
Always enjoy seeing that marvelous stag 73, Harry! :thumbup:

Here's a patina experiment I tried on a big-bladed Joker this week. I used a chopstick dipped in mustard to try putting my initials on the knife blade (in the Georgia Tech or Grand Trunk RR logo style). I think I can do it successfully if I get a more precise way of applying mustard to the blade.

Here are pics of knives I carry every day; they never rotate out of my pockets.

Thanks Harry, it sat in the dark for some time as I struggled with whether or not to turn it into a user...decision made to use with no regrets:thumbup:

Congrats, Paul; great to hear that the new business is developing well! :thumbup:

Thanks Gary, it's been a long 2 1/2 months but was worth the effort, looking forward to some normalcy and time back on the forums:thumbup:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone;)
