[Old Engineer]

I'm carrying the one in the middle...

... as well as the one on the left.

(The whittler is in my pocket, the Farmer's Jack is riding in its usual sheathed spot alongside an LTKW Patriot.)

Every time I see your smooth bone 38 , I kick myself for not getting one . They are very nice.

[swaybacksteve]

Joe...that Mammoth "just broke da' mouth"...now permanently open in awe:thumbup:

A nice and special old knife Jeff ! :thumbup:

Stunning Joe ! Almost unreal - the match and character ! :thumbup:

That wood on the one in the middle has old knife character, already !!! :thumbup:

A real lambsfoot and a real peanut!

Very nice Woodrow ! :thumbup:

Mr. Primble : That is a pretty unique overall design . I like it a lot !!!! Very nice picture too !!!

Harry

Thank you Harry ! A fine pair of Northfields you are sporting my friend ! :thumbup:

Ron - nice back pocket !!! :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[5K Qs]

Thanks bud it is beautiful almost to beautiful to carry! However now that i put an edge on it it's gonna be hard to kick it from my pocket

That canoe your Carrying is a beauty also!

"Too beautiful to carry" isn't part of my vocabulary!
Thanks for the compliment on the canoe. I don't think of myself as a bright colors knife guy, but the green pick bone on that mini-canoe sure looks good to me.

I have a few, GT. I did one of those wheel deals awhile back, but I've gotten more since then. I'm still working on my group shot photo skills (actually, I'm working on all my photo skills)!!!
...

Your photos look great to me, Dean! :thumbup:

...
I should point out that while I donated that knife to The Big Bob Giveaway, it was actually won by Chris Montgomery. Chris told me to send it to Bob, so strictly speaking Chris is the donor :thumbup:
...

Well done, Chris and Jack!

Gary - Thank you my friend Love the looks of that Colt Black Stag!
...

Thanks, Ron. I have four Colt folders (black stag sowbelly, buckshot bone teardrop, G-10 titanium-coated carbon steel canoe, and stag canoe), and I think they're all outstanding knives!

Tossed this Old Forge in my pocket today.

Intriguing knife, Carboniferous! Is it built pretty well?

Happy Valentine's day all! Lucky enough to have a overnight stay with my wife in Oregon Wine country. Feeling blessed. Thought this was a good carry for the occasion :thumbup:

Fine-looking knife, Drew; sounds like a marvelous Valentine's Day weekend! :thumbup:

...
Thought I'd start the week off with some Todd Davison goodness! :thumbup:

Stunning every time, Jack!! :thumbup::thumbup:

City Knife with an AG Russell Premium Scout today.

Another fantastic contrasting pair, Tom! Is the Russell Premium Scout a little smaller than a "standard" camp knife?

...
My Vic is a Cybertool Lite, which is a Cybertool 34 with an added row featuring the flashlight and magnifier. It is one heavy hunk of steel but in its belt sheath it is an invaluable portable toolbox.

That SBJ and soddie definitely qualify as a "notable pair"! The sowbelly is a looker, too. :thumbup:
...

Thanks for the info, TB. I recently picked up an old 7-layer Vic Champion, and was surprised how nicely it carried in my pocket hanging from a little suspension clip. I have no experience with any of the Cybertool models. Thanks too for the kind words on the Case chestnut bone knives; love looking at and handling those knives!

...I dig the color of the bone on that H&R, and the Colt looks pretty unique itself. Nice carries this week, GT!
... As for today, clips in trips:

Thanks again, Tsar. You have triple clips for the win!!

That is distinctive and deluxe, Gev! :thumbup: Are those some of the "new" pennies from your father? I see in a later post that you confirmed my conjecture!

...
I'm off to Sheffield early in the morning, so packing tonight for an early start. Filling my pockets! :thumbup:

Wow, Jack, that's definitely a Fab Four (apologies to what's left of the Beatles)!! :thumbup: That MOP shadow IXL is incredible!! What's the "artillery piece" in the background of the rope knife pic??

...
I like the jigging on that mini canoe, reminds me of the jigging done on the Northwoods forest jack.

The carries for today were this sawcut TC and my mammoth Dowell for Monday.

...

Thanks, Tim; as I mentioned above, that green pick bone is very vividly verdant!
Congrats on all the fine TCs you seem to be scoring of late!!

Nice knives again today everyone:thumbup:

Same as yesterday...the pen behind the spear from 2013

Such a distinguished knife, Paul, and a great story to go with it!
(Sorry to hear that your Buddy is going downhill; hope he can be comfortable and dignified and you can enjoy the time you have left together.)

Love this guy. Damn hard working little knife.

Phenomenal photo, recon! :thumbup: I sure like those plain old Imperials!

...
NYKC split-back whittler today:
...

Holy Cow, Primble; that one knocks me back in time to hippie days! Groovy, far-out, outta sight!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Grandfather's old Boker 9695 today [emoji846]

Ravishing treasure you have there, Jeff! :thumbup: Glad you found it!!


More of this week's carry for me:
My non-SAK with a bail is a Spanish sodbuster (navaja de campana) by JJ Martinez, shown along with the Case Sodbuster Jr I always carry.

My "big knife" this week is a Taylor-Schrade muskrat (thanks, Randy).

My watch pocket knife this week is a Vic Pocket Pal.

5K Qs

It's not bad! No excessive gaps, blade locks open with no play at all, opens smoothly enough (there are some bumps as it opens but they're smooth, no grit or gunk or anything). Spring is a hair proud when open but overall, especially for under $10, I can't complain.

Picked up this Rough Rider mini Barlow on the same day as that Old Forge, giving it some pocket time today:

Almost exactly the same size as my Case Peanut, disappears nicely in the pocket. It's not going to be replacing my peanut anytime soon but it's a nice occasional alternative in that size range.

Thanks GT, lots of luck lately fantastic combo for the week. I need to find another sodbuster one of these days.

Tim Fantastic Dowell SWJ buddy! The Ivory handles have so much character! Me Jealous

Thanks Mark I love just looking and inspecting the mammoth covers on this one from time to time.

Should take more photos of my trusty Opinel. The patina forms nicely on this one.

 

[Jack Black]

Nice Davison Jack!

Here's my choice for the day, it's actually bigger than my modern Zinker "EDC slacks" knife, but it's working for me!

Thank you Joe, that really is a stunning knife :thumbup:

Stuck the 501 in my pocket today.

Very fancy my friend, looks like you're enjoying your breakfast :thumbup:

Mr. Jack - a lot of goodness in your pockets today. Have a good trip.

NYKC split-back whittler today:

Thank you sir, lovely Whittler :thumbup: I spent the day traipsing round Sheffield, trying to track down the remains of old crucible steel works and cementation furnaces, which are usually little more than a charred wall or a pile of bricks, and am still exhausted!

Nice mix of Sheffield and Pennsylvania steel. :thumup:

Thanks TB :thumbup:

Nice combination Mike :thumbup:

Grandfather's old Boker 9695 today [emoji846]

Beautiful Jeff :thumbup:

A real lambsfoot and a real peanut!

Great stuff! :thumbup:

I ordered this North River Forge Custom Frontier Belt Knife about five months ago and it came in today, so I have been totin' it around, as well.
1095 steel, Curly Maple, and 9 inches OAL:

Looks good :thumbup:

Well done, Chris and Jack!

...

Stunning every time, Jack!! :thumbup::thumbup:

...

Wow, Jack, that's definitely a Fab Four (apologies to what's left of the Beatles)!! That MOP shadow IXL is incredible!! What's the "artillery piece" in the background of the rope knife pic??

Many thanks GT :thumbup: Freaky! Report just on the radio right now of Paul McCartney being refused entry to a nightclub! That's one of the old British Naval cannons outside the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, the knife is actually resting on another :thumbup:

Strictly Sheffield today! A TEW-made Lambsfoot, and my IXL Serpentine Jack sitting in front of the last intact steel cementation furnace in Britain (there were once more than 150 in Sheffield alone) :thumbup:

Great looking pieces Jack. Is that ivory on the bottom knife? Love the "real lambs foot" stamp.

Thanks Tim, the 'ivory' is only of the French variety I'm afraid, my simple camera doesn't capture it too well I'm afraid :thumbup:

 

[Jsega51]

Thanks Tim, the 'ivory' is only of the French variety I'm afraid, my simple camera doesn't capture it too well I'm afraid :thumbup:

Either way Jack...I like the clean lines of that knife. Has that "gentleman" look to it...very fitting for you!

Rob, I really like the forged curl on the back of your new addition and the leather wrap is really cool!
(edited to add, after looking at their website...it got me drooling for a custom axe!!!)
