It isn't so big my friend. It is just 10 inches open and 5.5 inches closed. :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Will Power]

Yeah that's small fry, Lilliputian even You should enter it in the Smallest of the Small thread

Must weigh a ton/tonne Fine workmanship on it though by the look of it:thumbup:

 

[screened porch]

I forgot I had this one. Ulster.

 

[Half/Stop]

How did I get so far behind in just one day? This 73 was in my pocket today.

 

[Jsega51]

It is easy to fall behind for sure! Love the knives posted over the last couple of days everyone. Al, it's good to see you getting more active in this thread...I know you're hiding a treasure trove of beauties! Not to mention, you have great photography skills.

 

[Travman]

A sweet valentine from by daughter before Valentines day... must be doing something right.

Oh and the Case XX is awesome as well!

The best cards are homemade.

I'm new to all these knives. What model Case is this? It reminds me of my GEC #25.

 

[Travman]

The other knife in my traditional collection.

 

[Primble]

Just this old thing from 1965.....

Beautiful knife and photo Al. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Gevonovich]

I've been enjoying the company of this old Imperial lately.

Smashing beauty, Duane!!! What a treat:thumbup::thumbup:

Digging this Hammer Brand today. I think it's WWII era, but I'd like to learn more about it. I have read up on the Hammer tang stamps so I think this is 1938-1941 potentially.

What a fantastic picture of that lovely!! Sweet indeed

Indeed it is my friend ! Wonderful array of old lovelies you posted above ! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:



OK - I will give up the actual carries:

Just a feast for the heart....wow!!

Just got back from dinner with my dad and his lovely new lady...nice to know they have not forgotten about a thing called love. I gave Maxine a little Victorinox and she loved it

Dad gave me a little pill bottle with some old indian head pennies...I feel some copy cattin coming on ( Ron and Primble...lol)

 

[Clem Kadiddlehopper]

Thanks Primble, I always enjoy your photos. - :thumbup:

Heck, I enjoy all the photos......

 

[lambertiana]

I forgot I had this one. Ulster.

I have one just like that. Very solid knife.

Today's carry, gotta love the AB 85:

Thanks Jake,

A lot knives get quoted and re-posted, this one deserves another look.

Beautiful knife & photo. - :thumbup:

OK - I will give up the actual carries:

Love that Coke Bottle my friend. Love the saber grind.

Congrats on getting an antique amber sawcut TC, Tim! :thumbup::thumbup: Is it a single clip like Sarah's and Primble's, or did you find a clip/pen? (The clip/pen antique amber sawcut is probably the only Charlow I'd be motivated to own.) Astounding Erickson!

For some reason, I usually think that wood handles are rather plain, prosaic, pedestrian. Then I see knives like pearl2291's stunning snakewood or Ron's elegant ebony, and I realize what an idiot I am!


- GT

Good looking Barlow GT. It's a single blade version. I do enjoy the double blade Ebony but for this knife I always wanted a single blade.

Those are some stunning TC's fellas!


My britches were a little on the heavy side today.

...

( note to self: never do another long multi quote on your phone )

Great looking bullnose bud and thank you. Haha even multi quotes on the computer sometimes make me dizzy.

Tim - Thank you! Fine TC there on your coaster my friend! :thumbup:

I am still under the weather so this old Schrade Cut. Co. should handle anything around the house today!

Thank you Ron, another TC on me coaster today. Very nice Schrade, what are the covers on that one?

 

[TsarBomba]

So, I picked out the 66 Slim, he hasn't been out for ages and is looking dull minded The fresh air and pocket will do him good:thumbup:

Just make sure he gets a chance to leave the pocket and enjoy that fresh air. My poor EDC Challenge knife spent most of the day in the watch pocket, only getting some use when I finally got home.

Really rushing today, but I hope everyone has had a good week, and looking forward to the weekend Here's me today :thumbup:

What's this? No caplifter?

Dressed up, so out comes my otherwise safe "Queen" for the day.

Looking sharp, sir, and so is that slimline! Is that a caliper tie pin?

red micarta is definitely a favorite and so is this 25 spear.

I'm not the world's biggest Micarta fan but that is one attractive bullet. The #25 frame sure is versatile.

Big knife Friday for me!

That's one fabulous 'fish, Jeff! :thumbup:

Craftsman Peanut and Case 6347

Is that Craftsman a Schrade build? I think Case's #47 might be a bit of an underappreciated pattern (though I'm gaga for the #75 myself ). Nice knives!

Today I'm using 194OT. Sometimes I like a lock feature.

I am enjoying this Schrade renaissance in this thread. :thumbup: Within the next hour or so I may be a new 194OT owner myself.

I wonder if that rope knife and your table fork make a "notable pair". Would a fork be traditional...?

A sweet valentine from by daughter before Valentines day... must be doing something right.
Oh and the Case XX is awesome as well!

Sure seems like you're raising her right. Now you just need to make sure she knows the difference between a sheepsfoot and a Wharncliffe.

Slipped this one in the pocket after work today.

What's your opinion of the newish NYKCs? That one is a real beauty, but I've never held one or even seen it up close. F&F/walk+talk etc.

Just this old thing from 1965.....

That old Case red bone is like a first love. You may find something new later in life but you always remember what that first one felt like.

Todays carry

What kind of horn (?) makes up your Lag's handles? I believe mine uses the exact same material, even if the F&F aren't as good.

I've been enjoying the company of this old Imperial lately.

I imagine your Imperial is related to my Imperial.

OK - I will give up the actual carries:

Go big or go home, huh?! It's a man with confidence in his pants who carries a full-sized cokebottle, especially one as nice as that one. :thumbup: The bone on that Barlow is also outstanding.

I'm new to all these knives. What model Case is this? It reminds me of my GEC #25.

It's an 11031SH, not currently in production by Case AFAIK. They pop up in pretty good condition fairly often on that big auction site. Light and slim, maybe a teensy bit too long for a watch pocket (unless you're an overgrown galoot like me) but disappears in the RFP, and sporting a stylishly-swedged single sheepsfoot.

The other knife in my traditional collection.

Simply exemplary stag on that Barlow. That's probably as close to a grail Barlow for me as anything currently or recently produced.

Today's carry, gotta love the AB 85:

Gotta love that EO and the classic look! :thumbup: I have a hard time figuring out if I like the EO better on the 25 or the 85. They both look so "right".

Today's carry signified the last day of the work week for the EDC Challenge Keen Kutter, Mac got into the action at lunch, and a TL-29 stood stoically by with very little to do.





Plus, I got my first shots of my SAK to demonstrate to our friends in the UK that torches and knives can go together.

 

[Jack Black]

Some fantastic knives folks Have a great weekend everyone :thumbup:

Thank you Mr. Jack ! A fine lambsfoot you carried today (I had trouble finding it at first ) ! :thumbup:

...

Thank you sir, two great picks from that outstanding selection :thumbup:

I forgot I had this one. Ulster.

A very nice re-discovery :thumbup:

What's this? No caplifter?

I'm making up for the bottle-opener today!

Hey, I've got a knife with a torch somewhere - it came from the £ Shop, but it does have a torch! :thumbup:

I'm pocketing these two today :thumbup:
