I am happy you like the pictures as i always enjoy yours so much! I had planned some knife pics after these but after the next stop the van would not start again. I went into emergency mechanic mode and was able to short the starter and get her going again. I could not risk stopping again so far from home. Turned out to be a faulty relay

GT
I really enjoy your recaps and comments! Yes, in that neck of the woods, big sky abounds! I love it and look forward to the invigorating time travel

I think this is the second time you have posted about having to call on your mechanical skills to get you home Gevo. I expect that you have had more also !!!!! I rather like that area of your fine state.

Thanks, Ron. Another snazzy sheepsfoot Charlow you have there! :thumbup: What does GEC call the color of that bone? It almost perfectly matches the background in your photo!

Couple of other knives I'm carrying Monday-Friday this week came to me from across the sea:
a stainless ring-opener from Sheffield by way of Jack Black

- GT

Gary - Thank you my friend.

That Jack has sent you a dandy from Sheffield. :thumbup: The color of that TC Sheep is Tan Jigged Bone. Not a bad looking Barlow for a 2nd.

I am playing catch up today so I am posting for yesterday and today. There are so many I will just give a big :thumbup: to you all!

For Wednesday

For today :thumbup:

Robb - Yes it is. Thank you for the compliment, it is one of my favorites.

I have to agree, that O/O is just beautiful. Kudos on that.

I had a couple on me today, but this is the one that saw the most use.

Thanks, Tim; the coin IS from Jack. It's a 1903 British penny that's substantially larger than a US quarter. Great pic of your dog: Regal Remy, Master of All He Surveys!!

- GT

That is incredibly cool GT. That Uncle Henry sure has some character. Indeed he is`

I see I am in good company Tim. Long pull spear TC for me today too.

Splendid choice for yesterday Mark, always like seeing red sawcut~

Two more fantastic pics Tim.
...

My choices this week have nothing to do with practicality, and everything to do with elevating my mood in this dreary weather. More rain today, so I am combating it with more color. So far it is working .

Much thanks Tom. Yellow and Blue sure do brighten up a day like today. Plus they're the colours of my hometown, Lexington, MA.

I love the area ...its like therapy, Harry! When your pushing over 300,000 miles on the odometer, things start going...lol. I carry a survival bag for good reason

Stone and steel

Great photo, Tim! Stone and steel has a ring to it, too.

Let me add my comment on Remy. I thought the photo of him in the earth mover bucket was really cute. He almost had a look like, "Where do you want to shoot me next?"

For today :thumbup:

Half Stop, which model is that serpentine Osage Orange?

sshakari · Mar 10, 2016

Did not have a chance to take a fresh pic, but have the Sodbuster with me.

Were gittin old, our edge is gone, an ol time sayin is
Ive been a friend t you, ol knife, an you a friend t me,
An when its time fer us t part I reckin I kin feel
I know their meanin when they say a friend as true as steel.

Jack Black · Mar 11, 2016

Superb Mr P :thumbup:

This is an older IXL Stockman than I carried yesterday, more pocketable, and with blades of carbon steel. It was a generous gift from Lyle. I was lucky to pick up another of these knives, and gifted it to Stephen 'Old & In The Way', who I hope will reappear here again one day

It's my carry for Old Friends Friday :thumbup:

Great old looking Uncle Henry, GT. I can't tell you how many of those knives are probably lost around my Grandpas farm.

Thanks, Jake.

Dont know why I like this so much, but I really enjoy the darkly patinaed springs of this old stainless steel bladed knife.

Whetstone39 said:
Thanks GT! I can't remember the last time this phenomena occurred but I am sure it has at some point . Great barlow sir, looks well-loved :thumbup:

My choices this week have nothing to do with practicality, and everything to do with elevating my mood in this dreary weather. More rain today, so I am combating it with more color. So far it is working .

Thanks, Tom.

The Barlow looks OK, especially considering it spent 10 years or more in my window repair bucket! I like your bright blue and yellow today.

Thank you very much for writing that, Gev.

Old Engineer said:
Like your Belknap GT !!!! Don't know if I have seen that one before. Yes , the middle one is my Moki . Like it a lot for the F & F and sharpness. It also makes a great dress up carry. I have a few other carries for getting dirty.

Harry

Thanks, Harry. I have no idea where that Barlow came from; I suspect it may have once belonged to my father-in-law in Indianapolis, who gave it to my wife at some time before I met her, and it came to me as a dowry.

Jack Black said:
Thanks my friend, they're just synthetic simulated stag I'm afraid, from after Wostenholm had been taken over by Joseph Rodgers, and in turn by Imperial. It's a decent enough knife, but not on a par with the older Wostenholms I don't think :thumbup:

Those are two very nice knives you have with you today :thumbup:

Thanks for the additional info about your I*XL stockman, for the intriguing catalog pics, and for the compliments on a couple of my knives for the week. :thumbup:

puukkoman said:
Thanks, GT. That one's made by John Lloyd, when he was in Laredo, Mexico. It was a gift from Duncan (campbellclanman here on the forum). The handles are John's amber stag, almost like a signature feature on many of his knives. Yes, single blade, 52100 steel, and I'd have to measure it again but it's like a medium-large toothpick (between 4 and 5 inches... I'd guesstimate 4.5). And yeah, that perch shield is pretty darn cool, ain't it??

Thank you for your remarks. This might be my favorite knife out of all the ones I've got. Not only is it a real stunner, with amazing steel and spot-on fit & finish, but it reminds me of the caring and generosity of friends. :thumbup:

Thanks for all the details, puukkoman; its no wonder that toothpick is one of your favorites!

Thanks, Ron.

If that tan jigged bone sheepsfoot TC is a second, I think Id be very happy with a 4th or 5th!

Your carries for Wednesday and Thursday are world-class wood! :thumbup:

Thanks, Tim. Your stone and steel is stunning and stupendous! :thumbup:

Yet another venerable stockman, and the photo has a very striking atmosphere! :thumbup:

Here are the knives I carry EVERY week; I suppose they might qualify for Old Friends Friday status.
