Have a great weekend, all!

TsarBomba, now that you've been carrying that Tuxedo all week what do you think of it as an EDC? I've thought about getting one of those for a few years, but never pulled the trigger. It looks like it would almost disappear in your pocket. I like the looks of that patina'd stockman, too! :thumbup:

Today the charlow brought me luck in my presentation to the CIO to get approval for a $200,000 annual expense!

That's got to be the best looking good luck charm I've seen in awhile, Jeff!

Mac's big blade is coming along nicely, isn't it.

I'll post a more thorough summation in the challenge thread, but overall the tuxedo has proven to be a useful knife for its size. It positively vanishes in the pocket, so I made sure to put it in a sleeve for more flexibility in carrying. I don't know what the "typical" Case tuxedo has but this one has a "bulgy" sheepsfoot master and a tiny Wharncliffe for a pen blade. The small Wharnie is really the wonder of this knife, makes it perfect for detail work. I have large hands (remember, I carry a Case #75 nearly every day ), so the tux may not be the best for all jobs or users, but it has always been a fantastic shirt pocket knife and makes an excellent counterpoint to a bigger knife. Plus the blade combo on mine makes it easy to justify most days. All told, it's a common weekend companion and I will definitely seek more opportunities to carry it the rest of the week.

My version of a sway back. All steel pins, liners and bolsters with long pull warncliff blade

 

[Gevonovich]

Smashing Mark!!! Love the curves and blade shape! Fantastic craftsmanship :thumbup::thumbup:

Every day... :thumbup:

 

[Whetstone39]

So Primble’s got the NYKCs and Catts and you’ve got the Queen scout knives. So many markets cornered! :grumpy:



I think that Ulster is my favorite of all because it’s basically Harry’s Knife. Its history is your history. The stag is pretty and the Viper is a functional dream but I imagine the miles you’ve 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 day’s carry during what turned out to be the highlight of the day. The fish sandwich was delicious but sadly the lighting was terrible.

Ha! In truth I have a weakness for all scouts, and seem to be able to find something to like about each one . Your pic made me hungry :thumbup:

That Queen looks like one stout knife

Thanks Gev! It is not perfect, but a good user .

 

[Half/Stop]

Thanks a lot Ron, I'm rather pleased with it. That's a fine pair you're carrying today :thumbup:

Thank you Jack.

Ron - the Osage Orange Viper is a beauty !

Thanks Primble.

Today the charlow brought me luck in my presentation to the CIO to get approval for a $200,000 annual expense!

Congrats on that budget, but a Big :thumbup: on that Charlow!:thumbup:

Ron A man who is without a Small Texas Jack may find himself at a disadvantage, or prey to Peanut Cult members I'd get another one if I were you. GEC's 76 Outlaw is an interesting 'reverse' version of the pattern only bulkier. They did a great Tidioute version in a kind of WB Bone that I regret not buying when I had the chance.:grumpy:

Regards, Will

Will, forgive me my friend. I am the proud owner of a Stag 76 Outlaw, senior moment.

Into the Flats

Gev, that is a beauty. At first sight the Northwoods Presidential came to mind, but then I realized that this was much older than that. What is it and what do the blades look like? Please show more!

Ron
I think they have a new ceutical for your viper addiction

I looked up the word and I am more confused than I was when I read it the first time. Skin care?

My version of a sway back. All steel pins, liners and bolsters with long pull warncliff blade

Mark that is a beautiful example of the pattern. Love the long pull and sunken joints! Very well executed my friend!:thumbup::thumbup:

Fantastic satin on that charlow Jeff. Congrats on the approval as well.

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:


Have a great weekend, all!

Thanks Tsar, indeed. That spey should make a fine slicer though

Thanks, Tim. Dynamic Lanny’s Clip! :thumbup:

- GT

Thanks GT, I carried a wood handled workhorse today too

A cool photo of a great knife, Tim. It looks like you just cut the fruit and snapped a photo. :thumbup:

I'm carrying this Ancient parchment bone Barlow today.

Thanks Dean, that's actually exactly what happened

Tim - That is a great photo of your TC my friend! Good job! :thumbup:

Thank you Ron I like how full of lustre the covers on your 55 are.

The two from today.

I'm just relaxing at home this evening with a red alox Cadet in my pocket.

Ron, it's a Shapleigh D.E. HDW Co. 3 & 5/8th flat bolstered equal end peach of a wreck Spear main and the secondary is ground into a punch I could not resist the bolster and bone for the song I will post more pictures of it open tomorrow. Thanks my friend!

ceutical....a potion ( whereas a pharmaceutical is a poison that shuts down metabolic pathways and a nutriceutical is a nutrient necessary for the proper functioning of metabolic pathways )
I was just playing around....we must be deficient in some nutrient to want all these knives

Left the Peanut, was a great carry and for some it's ideal, but I wanted to give this Case Mini Copperhead a go and got this today, very nice folder, still watch pocket carry size;

Liking this shield too

[Primble]

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.

Love your old Ulster everyday knife Harry !

Today,
~ P.

Very nice Sarah ! :thumbup:

Another pair of unbelievableness!!!!!!

Harry

Thank you Harry. :thumbup:

TsarBomba I'm going to just start quoting your post with a "ditto". That's a masterful multi quote!

Today the charlow brought me luck in my presentation to the CIO to get approval for a $200,000 annual expense!

I suppose the cost of that beautiful TC seems minimal now. :thumbup:

Nicely paired Mr P :thumbup:

Thank you good sir. :thumbup:

Work has been slow the past two weeks, so I went on another hike today. This one turned out to be a bit of a fiasco, so I never got around to taking pics on the trail.

I really like the new steel bolstered Northfields ! :thumbup:

[Tyler.Bachman]

I have to say my 77 Barlow is my best work knife always in my pocket and used for anything not abusive. And when I get home I oil and strop it

 

[jlhoffman74]

Love the GEC 79 pattern...
