Thank you Dean and two fine knives you carried today.

Thank you, Primble.

That's a sharp looking lamb's foot, Jack.

Cute photo. Teach him to sharpen early.


I carried this one to church this morning.

I absolutely agree with you on the Moki F&F . A person has to hold one to believe it !!!! IMO

Wonderful pictures today everyone, Bighaze, the picture of Brook is PRICELESS!!!

pleasant surprise today as the weather is in the mid 60's. I went to the shop to get my Van ready for my deck season and found my Carhartt over the back of my drivers seat. Rummaged through my pockets and found the Keen Kutter Barlow Mark made and gifted me!!!

Like finding a $100.00 in your pocket after several months but WAY better. Slipped in my pocket asap. Thanks Mark, aka Markesharp...it put a much need big smile on my face brother:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

For another dollar , you could have got it in Red Paul !!!
Words do not escape me on that Keen Kutter , but being on a Social Media does keep me from saying what I said in my mind when I saw it !!! I will just say that I like it a lot !!!

Nice find Paul!
As usual, beautiful pictures posted lately.
I felt like carrying a belt knife on today's hike, and the recent Camillus 72 thread inspired me to throw that one in the pocket.
The presidential is also with me. I'm trying to show it more love lately.

Some fine carries and photos the past few days. I'm wrapped up in blankets in front of the TV recuperating from a nasty flu, but I've got full pockets

Bark River Little Creek LT, Case/Bose Cattle Knife, GEC TC Barlow

Hope you get healthy ASAP, Mike. Those knives should help; doesn't "TC" stand for "Total Cure"?

…GT, I like your carefree plan for weekend knife carry. I think I'd be carrying the ring-opener a lot. :thumbup:

Thanks, Dean; I'm looking forward to some wild weekends when I carry what I feel like! I think the ring opener will be a weekend staple for sure (as will that 897UH ).

Case Humpback Stockman in ebony and Tru-Sharp.

Frank, it's obvious that you really enjoy the stockman pattern. I'm intrigued by this Case Humpback Stockman to which someone drew my attention a few weeks ago. One of the draws for me is the spear main. Does the spear instead of a clip make it function "unstockmanlike" for you?

Carried the #47 Viper this morning, then the mailman brought the #18 Coyote, and I've been carrying that this afternoon.

Congrats on the new GEC 18, Barrett; that Coyote is a looker! :thumbup:

Thanks GT, I never liked or carried many multi-blade knives, but this Humpback Stockman has totally changed my mind. I'm lovin' it.

Alan

Thanks for the "testimonial", Alan. I've always liked a stockman pattern, and my favorite blade is a spearpoint, so that Humpback stockman really grabs my attention!

...
Fantastic choices, all! I still haven't come across an Imperial 'pick with a pen like that, so it's always enjoyable when you share yours. I'm a recent convert to the ways of the sowbelly; that is one formidable hunk of knife in the pocket! You also have some impressive stag on hand, and that ring opener is a fascinating little knife.

If I had the pocket space to carry a dozen knives I'm not confident that I'd be able to resist.

I can't blame you for going with the RRs in a lot of cases. The trapper I recently posted about in the RR thread is a serious looker, and the only flaw is a nail-cracking pull on the master which I am currently trying to work out, something that's in no way unique to RR's knives. FYI I checked my green RR canoe and it is indeed a double-spring.
...
I didn't put much thought into today's carry, as I'm still a little starstruck over this big Russell Barlow, so I paired it with a little-carried Case for utility's sake and flew out the door.



Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Thanks for the affirmation, Tsar. One of my grandpas used to carry a clip/pen toothpick very similar to that Imperial, so I think it's a really special knife. I saw your Case sowbelly in a thread just yesterday; it's a knockout! :thumbup: I also saw your RR trapper, and I'm nuts about the smooth tobacco bone (that's what the covers are, right?); sorry to hear the pull is so stiff. I've probably had a couple of dozen RRs, and never had anything stiffer than a 7 or 8, I'd estimate. Thanks for checking the canoe; I'm a little disappointed that it WASN'T a single spring, because that would have opened whole new vistas for me if RR was offering single spring canoes! I haven't seen a lot of Grandaddy Barlows, but most I remember were clip blades; I think that gigantic spear on your Russell is remarkable! :thumbup:

...
GT - thank you - I think your Buck canoe and the sowbelly would make a nice pairing.
...

Thanks, Primble. Those are a couple of my favorites, for several reasons.

Carried this all day Saturday for doing chores around the house. The screwdriver end is great for not having to run to a toolbox every time something needs loosening or tightening! :thumbup:

Of course, now that I have this it's a part of my everyday loadout for the indefinite future:

Fantastic pair, Robb! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you my friend, you hasome tremendous knives in your pockets this week :thumbup:
...
Got these two with me today Have a great Sunday everyone :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack. Your pair is very distinguished! :thumbup: For some reason, I was fascinated by the map behind your lambsfoot. At the very top is Scotton Old Hall in a very different font than everything else on the map; is that font difference meaningful?

Great to see your post today, Bob! :thumbup: That Ohta is outstanding!! Glad you could grab it.

Harry

Terrific trio, Harry; I always enjoy seeing your horn-handled TEW Barlows.

Awesome Alox, Tom! :thumbup:

Here are a few more of my favorites I grabbed for my first "Can't Wait Weekend".
An Imperial small sodbuster

A Vic Farmer

My big olivewood Joker

A Camillus electrician's knife

- GT

 

[SadSappySucker]

Nice group of knives GT! I like the dark green on the sak, and that imperial is really neat. Those tl29s look like great knives, too. I've always thought about picking one up, but the tools would be a bit redundant. I always have a leatherman on me, and if for some reason I don't have the LM I will have a sak(or two) on me.

 

[pertinux]

C'mon, Spring. You can do it.
