LOL!Thanks TB, Enzo Elver
That's a great line-up of knives you posted :thumbup:

I'm off to see ADEE and ScruffUK today. Carrying my Watchpocket Barlow and a few knives I picked up in Sheffield yesterday
I sense some serious swapping afoot.
What is that (serpentine?) shadow in bone, second from the top of your Sheffield haul?
That's a beautiful EO but please don't go peening on any more NYKCs. This one's already got a shield.
We're going to need a J.B. exposition on Blackpool cutlery now...
Thanks, Harry.

Wow! :thumbup: I'm a pushover for a clip/pen toothpick (especially the bigger ones); what details do you care to divulge about that one?
...
My SAK this week is a little red Cadet (apologies to Prince):
My "Euro" knife for the week is my first Opinel, a #6:
The pictured toothpick is unfortunately a tiny variant, stag handles with the typical clip and a secondary pen blade. It doesn't see much in the way of carry but I like how it looked next to my big gunstock this weekend so after I got back to the house I put away the big fixed blade (which I sheath and use as a left-hand knife because of how the crook of the handle seems to be molded to that hand) and fished the little stag 'pick out for a go. It's a super pretty little knife, but I've had no luck finding any stag-handled medium or large toothpick since I started looking last year.
I keep coming across medium/large Schrade OT (and the occasional Uncle Henry) on the big auction site. Out of every 3-4, there is usually one worthwhile candidate. The only problem is some people seem to love overpaying. I did manage a 34OT in pretty good shape recently, but I still can't get my hands on a nice serpentine jack like the 33OT.
The parade of steel Wengers continues! :thumbup: Lovely bone on that PAL, too!
An impressive 'fish with some excellent patina!
Tidioute Eureka Jack in Antique Greenbone
I've really taken to this knife lately, I like the all steel construction, blade types, the small bolster and handle shape (very comfortable in the hand) A decent size and yet not some pocket drone weighing a ton
I generally prefer the swell-end barehead jack patterns but I could easily get over that with the bone and that excellent swedged spear master. Spears are underrepresented in my collection, and the GEC coping blade would also be a welcome addition. Glad you've turned this one into a user, I imagine you won't be disappointed.
That's an impressive serpentine jack, Paul. Is it small enough for the Cult of the Peanut?
Regardless, some outstanding bone on that knife. :thumbup:Today's looking more and more like a washout. This is supposed to be the dry season, but every time I get up to go outside the skies are opening up. I guess it's good that I've got a couple smaller knives in tow to supplement the big #75. This time, it's my EDC Challenge tuxedo alongside a mini-copperhead.
Yes, three Cases. Sue me, I like Case knives.
