Fantastic scrim R8shell. I think it looks great on the knife.

Too pretty not to be out today, 74 degrees here. Went for a long walk earlier, now taking the Triumph for a spin. Switching up my pocket for the ride with this new-to-me 73. Hope everyone else is having a great day.

 

[Jack Black]

Very cool pics folks :thumbup:

Jack: You've been finding the best backgrounds for your rope knife. Well done!:thumbup:

Thank you very much my friend

Looks like your case Redbone is kinfolk to Gevo's Jack. :thumbup:

...

Thank you and happy hunting Mr. Jack ! Those two ought to cover the bases.

Yes indeed, it was a gift from the good Mr G

Thanks again, horrendous weather, but I got a couple of things of interest, and came home with my pockets turned out! :thumbup:

I joined the cult.

:thumbup:

NICE Sam :thumbup:

I was going to suggest trying one of the pins Boker sell, but that is WAY more classy r8shell :thumbup:

Hello All!!

Great selections again.

Thanks for the comment on the Boker Primble and thanks to a fellow carrier of mammoth Fremont Jacks Jeff. You gotta like mammoth!!

Very nice Case Seahorse Whittler Major. I'd like to see the 2016 forum knife as a Case Seahorse Whittler in those beautiful 1970's red bone scales we've been seeing recently.
Probably the wrong post to mention that but what the heck.

Been busy today, more snow removal and baking bread. I carried these two today. GEC 92 in stag and a Vic Cadet.

Have a good evening all.

This 47 and my 73s



Harry

Fine choice that one Harry!:thumbup::thumbup:

You could prune an entire orchard with it in comfort...

Regards, Will

 

[Half/Stop]

Today I am totin' this #47 Hayn' Helper Sheep Foot, because it is new and OD was "Heads".

I am also totin' this #92 Talon clad in Che Chen Rosewood, because it reminds me just how important my friends are to me.

 

[Will Power]

The Talon is a really beautiful example Ron! Such is friendship:thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks, Will

 

[link2derek]

Lots of great stuff today, everyone!

Today I had something special with me - my first fixed blade ever (this one was circa 1981-83, IIRC) - a Buck 102, given to me by my dad for my first deer hunting trip. I've never taken photos of this one before:




And had a friend along as well, the Patriot:

 

[Primble]

It's perfect, r8shell.....perfect!!

that is WAY more classy r8shell :thumbup:

+1 :thumbup: I like that scrimshaw shield very much Rachel !

 

[5K Qs]

As usual, I've fallen behind in this thriving thread! So far, I'm pretending today (Saturday) doesn't exist.

...GT
Thank you fine sir!! Great covey your carrying today

Thanks, Gev.

Hey GT - you are correct sir! I am fascinated with white handled knives lately, don't know why exactly . I am attending a knife show this weekend, hopefully there aren't too many nice white-handled traditionals there or I fear for my bank account .

Love the silver bullet, congrats!

Enjoy the knife show this weekend, Tom! (You always carry your knives in interesting pairs; do you always purchase in pairs, too? )

GT - rejects !!!?? That silver bullet is unique, as is the Marbles Lady knife.
...
These three along for the ride today:
Case XX Red Bone Medium Serpentine Half Stockman Model 06244, 3.35” closed, circa 1940-64:

Case XX Red Bone Half Whittler Model 6208, 3.25” closed, circa 1940-64:

...

Sorry about the "rejects" comment, Primble; I suppose there's a lot of ground between "favorite" and "reject" that I ignored. (But it is kind of fun to see your righteous indignation when I make an outrageous claim that you don’t treat your knives right. )
More ravishing, resplendent red bone! :thumbup:
"Unique" is one way to describe many of my knives! The Leg knife is a real "conversation piece", and I had no regrets in choosing the "silver bullet" as my traveling knife when I went to Spain a year ago.

I just feel better with Charlie's Harness jack in my pocket!

Bodacious bone and jubilant jigging on that one, Robb!! :thumbup:

...The Electrician is very nice GT. That one is on my list which seems to be getting longer every day.

Today it's a Boker Barlow and a Wenger serrated Esquire.

...
Ken K.

Thanks, Ken; I carry a Vic Electrician every day. Your Boker Barlow looks super! Is the pen blade stainless, or just little-used?

...
That's interesting, only one stockist here, and (apart from a small sausage eater) they all have liner-locks. Strange, as I dare say they'd sell more without the locks. You can legally carry a lock-knife here, but if challenged by the law you'll have to give a strong justification for needing it, and in all probability have to explain yourself in court.

Rather curious situation with the MAM models. Having to "explain yourself in court" certainly reduces the convenience of carrying a lock-knife!

…
I got this J. Fenton & Sons LTD. Farrier Horseman, Sheffield, England in the mail today. It had some very ugly what I call spider web patina on the tools and water spotting on the blades. I spent a couple hours cleaning it up, but, there is plenty of old left showing. I had wanted a Farrier Horseman for a long while and am happy to get this one, which is very mechanically sound. I will post more pics of it later. For now, it has kicked my redbones out of my pockets for the rest of the day. A very nice size at 3.5"closed and I am very impressed with the quality.
...

Congrats on that first-rate Farrier, Primble! :thumbup: Now THAT'S a unique knife! (Somehow, its image has turned into a building!??)

Gary - If you don't carry that sowbelly it will feel neglected! It looks like you got a leg up on this weeks carry!!
…
Well I am still carrying red bone today, but it is not 70's vintage! But, it will hold its own!

"Leg up" You're right about neglecting the Case sowbelly, Ron. I think I'll seriously consider carrying my chestnut bone Case CVs (SBS, SBJ, and SBJr) EVERY day, and then rotate all the rest.
That Viper may not be vintage, but it is Va-Va-Voom!! :thumbup:

This Robeson Pocketeze today.

Gunga Galunga!! :thumbup:

NW Madison again.

Very Nice!!

…
Thank you kindly Gevo, taking photos and composition of a great knife is probably as much fun as it is carrying the knife. I like trying to get things 'just right'
…
Finally got a super eraser by advice of Primble a long while and gave my 56 bolsters and opinel ring lock a matte brushed finish.
Will always have this knife for the sentimental value and usefulness of Bob's EO notch

I admire (and envy) your attitude toward knife photos, Tim. For me, taking knife photos is time-consuming and stressful, and "composition" is a word I don't know. My goal is to get a pic now and then that's in focus! I will admit I've improved a lot, but it's certainly not a very enjoyable aspect of the hobby for me.
Nice job on the new finishes!

A great duo :thumbup:

I admire your loyalty to your knives, Jeff! :thumbup:

…
Today I'm going with a Northwoods Fremont Jack and a Boker USA 9908.

Ken K.

Very nice, as usual, Ken. :thumbup: What is the little "button" that frequently appears in your pics, often propping up an open blade?

…
Jack
I see what you did
…

Those red Cases are the bees' knees, gentlemen!! :thumbup:

Whoa, what an exquisite knife!! :thumbup: I need to find me an elegant little sleeveboard pen knife along those lines!

…
It felt like a great day to be totin' a Barlow, and this TC is one of my favorites.

Classic and classy and not flashy!! That one will look good in any era, Ron! :thumbup:

…
With photobucket down I am spared the stress of showing today's carry.

How about painting some descriptive word pictures of your daily carry until technology improves, Dean?

…Today, using an alternate site

Alternate site, same impressive results!! :thumbup:

A fine pair Mr P, two real beauties :thumbup: I'm going to be having an early start to go antique hunting some distance from where I live Going to have these two amigos with me Have a great weekend everyone :thumbup:
…

Hope you had a successful trip, Jack! You're apparently quite serious about giving that rope knife a pocket-worn look as quickly as is humanly possible.

These knives had kitchen duty this week (usually my "big" knife and my "Euro" knife from one week become my kitchen knives the following week).

My carries yesterday, tardy with photobucket down. Trusty 77 and new 47.

 

[jprime84]

Gonna switch it up a bit and post my first youtube knife vid. Recorded today, and its in my pocket today!

[dispatch184]

Love this Ron, beautiful and classy

 

[r8shell]

Thanks for the positive feedback, folks! The disc is about 2.5 mm thick, and I deepened the inset a good amount to get it in there, so it's kind of a tight pressure fit. I'll carry it like this for a while. (maybe the shield will fall out on one of my nice wood handled Bokers and I can switch them out.

 

[RDaneel]

Hope everyone had a fruitful Friday

Great comment and a great photo of that Erikson. What a knife, Tim!

Nice shot of that beauty, Will.

Great job on that Boker shield, r8shell.

Beautiful Talon, Ron. That Che Chen almost glows.

Amazing how rain can make great knives look even better, Drew.

I was out hiking with this Barlow today.

To be truthful, Rachel, I think it is way cooler than a stock insert. I think that is quite striking as-is.
