My version of a sway back. All steel pins, liners and bolsters with long pull warncliff blade
It wasn't until that last photo that I saw the curve in the saber grind on that Wharnie blade. That is one fine knife! Fantastic work! :thumbup:
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:
It was an excellent lunch, though there weren't any outdoor seats that had decent lighting (half the reason I selected that cafe). I was a little disappointed.
Thanks
Tsar, indeed. That spey should make a fine slicer though
I wonder if that Opinel might have felt preparing a PB&J was a task beneath its rich tradition and history.
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
Ever since I learned of them I've wanted one of those Case Wharnie mini-copperheads. I think the right bone could make it a notable pair with a nice seahorse whittler. Great pics of yours! :thumbup:
For Stag Saturday I will be totin' my 76 Outlaw Gunstock Jack.
Have a great weekend!
That's some nice stag, sir! Is it matched well with the pile side?
So proud of my dye job. The russlock was slightly lighter than the slimline. I used some combination. Of these
washed with soap, brought knife covered with water to a simmer, added dye, simmered 30 min. Kept monitoring, shut heat off, and let sit for 15 min. The rinsed and oiled.
So these will be o. My side today. Though the slimline might be darker tonight.
Looks like a game effort at rediscovering that old Case red bone. You should offer to consult with their factory.
Already mid afternoon here
I've had these two with me today, the Harrison Fisher Crown Penknife I was carrying yesterday, and a Robeson HJ gifted to me by Duncan a couple of years back
:thumbup:
Looks like you're favoring that pen pretty strongly.
:thumbup:
Haven't carried this guy for some time. Rotating it back in.
Taking the 22 along for company
Marvelous grain on that 22. :thumbup: Those King Ranch-etched Cases have been going for some silly prices as of late. Especially since most (all?) of them were in that classic yeller synthetic. You'd think they were dressed in stag...
These two from Tony Bose are with me on this morning,
Zulu fixed in ATS 34 and handled by Rick Menefee in Rick's signature green micarta with orange liners, along with a Texas jack, #2, vintage Remington bone and ATS 34. Sheath by the talented Larry Parsons
Enjoying a day with my family, these two are with me
damascus and birch bark puukko by Pasi Hurttila along with a Texas jack from Tony Bose
Living u to your username as always!
That Texas jack looks pretty fantastic.
In honor of the beautiful canine Buddy, I decided to carry these two knives - in memory of.
...
(both knives previously came to me via his kind owner)
A fitting sendoff for Buddy, and another example of why the porch is such a great place! :thumbup:
Thanks for the comments Jack and Tsar. Tsar I've sent you an e-mail.
Thanks, Ken. I think the emails from the site go to an older account I have, and I've already submitted a password reset to the provider which seems to be waiting on a texted number sent to my cell phone. Once I can get that squared away I will be sure to read and respond.
Been a few days since scrolling this page. This pic hit home and made me pull out the only knife I have that
my dad actually carried, and gave to me when I was young. Wow, brings back memories. What a great old Western.
That's what makes it your most valuable knife, I imagine.
My grandfather's old rifle has similar levels of sentimental value to me, and I can't imagine ever parting with it. Thanks for sharing your treasure with us! :thumbup:
Okay...just got in today from Frank's Classics...Queen Classic Cotton Sampler...very nice BG 42 steel, sharp...using Frank's pic...but mine looks as good.
One of the brave folks who buy Queen sight-unseen. I'm glad you were rewarded for your bravery. That's a really cool pattern, but I imagine the specialty factor limits the market for them. I don't think I've seen any Queen cotton samplers on the secondary market at all. My own success rate in that arena with the higher end of the Queen spectrum is about 67% to date, give or take. Going to see if they take me to the cleaners to try and tighten/clean up one of their limited editions in stag, so I can make a proper decision as to which of the three I own becomes a user.
Too busy today to give The Porch the attention I'd like to on a weekend; maybe tomorrow? But I did notice that Primble had the same idea I had for this weekend:
I added a couple of knives to my week's carry this morning as reminders of Paul and what he's dealing with right now.
Another great carry in tribute to Paul, his family, and ol' Buddy himself. Really a thoughtful gesture, GT. :thumbup:
That's a cool shield Paul. Pocket dump today.
Absolutely exquisite mammoth on that Charlow!
Thanks! :thumbup: The funny thing is actually, that the mercator has lacquer on the handle so that the handle wont take patina. I was fine with that until one hot summer day the thing just started flaking off. I did some rubbing on it that it would be just plain brass and I like it. Changes color all the time. I think I have to make some sort of "review" of it since I haven't done one in a while.
I will look forward to it. It almost sounds like the best way to make it start taking a patina is to use it as it was designed. They're priced reasonably so I may pick up an extra or two and see what kind of results I get using it as a hard-use knife. I think given enough time and handling that brass handle would start to look amazing.
Thanks Jack. Along with everything else, I'm fighting a cold or flu bug that's really kicking my butt.
I am sure the entirety of the porch is behind you and wishes you well ASAP, Bob! Kick that cold's butt.
My dressy knife for the day.
Tuxedo Bob is in the house!
Feel better, Bob, and everyone who is fighting off the winter bugs. Take your vitamin C, and get some sun if you can.
Always the Girl Scout, Rachel. Having a Coke and a smile with this carry, I imagine.
Heading out for some lunch, and added this 1989 Case Wharncliffe saddlehorn to the LFP.
I really love that color and jigging pattern. Is that the "antique green" jigged bone?
These two for the coming week
Beautiful Barkie, and the texture on that Northwoods is classic. :thumbup:
Jeff - I really like your Robeson ! :thumbup::thumbup:
I reckon we were on the same page today. I have not carried this old Robeson Barlow in a long time. Nice full blades on it too.
Don't just tease the blades!
I've been carrying the 77 and 71 for quite some time now.
(The 71 is in my back pocket)
Maybe you could convince Earl to pose for a photo on that same sign?
Isn't that one of the J. Prime specials?
It's a real winner! :thumbup:
Didn't find much time for recreation yesterday, but managed to get some photos of Stag Saturday's carry because I can never really resist any opportunity to show off the pile side of my '80 NKCA gunstock...
Today's carry, on what I've come to know as "Sleepy Sunday". reflected the low-energy vibe of the day with my jigged green challenge knife (on its last day of the week) alongside my oldest Case (and only #24) in old red bone. Again, the pile side, because that's the star of the old jack:
:thumbup:
