This is the Mercator I think I will eventually obtain, because I really would like to see the brass patina on a good honest working knife, instead of some of the equal-end scrolled/filed monstrosities I have that are just impossible to keep "pristine". Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:
A nice ulster with bone scales and great snap!
You said it, that's a beauty!
New Rough Rider peanut today with smooth white bone. I purchased this one with a nice scrimshaw by Donna Ruprecht. The lighthouse is also part of the corporate logo of where I work, so it fits well. First peanut too!
Another entry into the Cult, I see! That is some beautiful scrim, though you might want to get r8shell's approval first.
This guy came in today and right into the pocket.
Wharnie + full clip in God's own favored pattern?
I applaud your taste, sir.
Thank you
A great Barlow and a good choice in blades for that apple. You should see me trying to slice fruit with the spey blade on my carbon stockman to help the patina along a little... :grumpy:
Bullnose in black linen and my Boker electrician mod in red linen
I may have a new one to post for tomorrow if I get all my chores done tonight ??
That Boker looks even more amazing in the light of day. Hurry with those chores, I look forward to what's next.
Case sodbuster jr for me today and everyday. I have many knives that I enjoy carrying but this little big guy just gets the job done so well.
I was trying to get my hands on a yeller soddie jr. just last night. Ended up grabbing a CV trapper in yeller instead. I still need to get a soddie, though. That big blade is ripe for some awesome patina. Yours looks ideal! :thumbup:
Tsar, I'm not sure of the Kentucky Bluegrass. I just see the Bartenders knife listed as Case Jade Bone.
...
Today I carried a H. Dorwal, which I'm starting to really like to carry, and a Vic Electrician.
Aha! So you WERE bidding against me! :grumpy:
That's disappointing, because it means the chances of coming across that exact color and shield combo might not be as good as I'd hoped. I'm glad it went to a worthy home, at least.
That ebony barehead is awesome, always a coup to find one with a master blade as full as that one.
Took the Old Guys , Mr. Russell and Mr. Oates and my old Pal to exercise and coffee with my friends and then checked over the snow moving stuff.
Two fantastic Barlows, Harry! Promise me you won't let either one turn into a Knife On The Lake.
I agent on another hike today. I can not wait for spring!
Judging from that muddy stain on the knee you are already enjoying yourself, spring or not.
Another neglected (certainly not abused!) member of the knife-family is seeing action today.
CASE Small Texas Jack in Amber Bone. The grapes were amazingly sweet too....:kiwi-fruit:
I like the modified Pen blade on this knife, it's interesting that the stainless version in Olive Bone is much better finished, the blades open out straight with no cant (droop) better tolerances too. Don't know why.
Could be a different cutout for the blade, maybe even a difference in backspring thickness?
I am loving that Case amber bone, as you will soon see.
Carrying these two today, a recent acquisition by Harrison Fisher, and an old friend by Carl Schlieper
There's that shadow pen. It's really a great little knife. I particularly like the pick or filework on the "bevels of that mark side, it lends a great depth to the knife even looking at it from one side.
You Sheffield fellers got it too easy, I tells ya! :grumpy:
Thanks for the canoe compliment, Tsar.
Sounds like you're a man with a plan regarding your knife finances! That Case tuxedo is quite intriguing; terrific trio in a tree! :thumbup:
...
A MAM Iberica linerlock and a Taylor-Schrade muskrat (thanks, Randy) have kitchen duty this week; both very capable slicers!
The tuxedo has been a pleasant
EDC Challenge knife all week; while I havent had too much for it to do, its been there when I needed it and it is as good as any non-stag knife I own as a worry stone. I spent half my morning flipping it from finger to finger trying to puzzle through a problem at work.
I might have something to rival that canoe of yours by the middle of next week.
Interesting weather yesterday in Ohio as we had snowrollers. Conditions were just right for the wind to start rolling up these tubes of packed snow.
And I was rolling along with this Robeson in my pocket for what turned out to be our last basketball game of the season. 211 teams in our Division and every team ends the year with a loss except for one. And, this year, we were not that one.
That is a wild snow formation.
Sorry to hear about your basketball game but that Robeson should help make up for it, its a real stunner! :thumbup:
The SAK Executive and Buck 55 crawled into my pocket on this beautiful morning.
Nice combination! I went on a bit of a Buck spree recently but I still havent found a 55 for the collection yet. Thanks for sharing yours.
Schrade Cutlery Company Sleeveboard and Catt jack today:
The Crazy Catt Man strikes again.
Happy Friday all!
So Primbles got the NYKCs and Catts and youve got the Queen scout knives. So many markets cornered! :grumpy:
Todays carry plus an update on The Car On The Lake
Starting to look scary for the car
...
Carrying my Old Friend Ulster bought in 1961 and carried most days until I retired in 2003 . Plus my Viper and 47 Harvester just because I feel better with some Stag in a pocket.
I think that Ulster is my favorite of all because its basically Harrys Knife. Its history is your history. The stag is pretty and the Viper is a functional dream but I imagine the miles youve put on that little swell-center make it the most valuable of all. :thumbup:
Well, despite my best intentions I never got anywhere near the forum yesterday after getting home. I did take a picture of the days carry during what turned out to be the highlight of the day. The fish sandwich was delicious but sadly the lighting was terrible.
Todays selection features more mundane lunch fare but better lighting for the important stuff.
Have a great weekend, all!
