Carrying these two today
The tortoise shell pen and the rope knife were an interesting combination.
(On Thursday?? How far behind have I gotten already?
)
My attempt to represent the St. Louis Cardinals (baseball), in red, navy blue, and yellow. I don't think I have ever only carried SAKs for a whole day, this should be fun.
...
Enjoying your sports team theme immensely, Tom; thanks! :thumbup: Howd you like all SAKs, all day?
Breathtaking, Ernie! :thumbup:
Not much sun today, so I brought my own sunshine to work.
Bright idea, Wurrwulf! That pair is definitely sunny.
Side story regarding that #25 - I thought I lost it last night. I had it in my pocket all day, I'd used it a couple times at the house after work, then we went bowling last night, and about halfway through our second game I reached into my pocket and the knife wasn't there!
I checked my other pockets, didn't find anything; started thinking about where I had sat down (which really wasn't anywhere, I had been standing most of the time). I came to the hopeful conclusion that either I'd taken out of my pocket at home earlier and left it sitting somewhere, or it had fallen out in my truck on the way there. Sure enough, when we left the bowling alley, I found it wedged between the console and the driver's seat. Crisis averted.
Finding that bad boy in your truck must have been a brow-mopping experience, Barrett; whew! Losing that beauteous stag after bonding with it all week would have been less than ideal.
Today I use my Olivewood Lozère, by Bastide. It is a slipjoint, the spring is not on the back of the knife, but around the axle, unlocking is done by pressing with the thumb.
It is #11cm but due to the small quantity of metal (no liner), very light. Satin blade is Z40C13 (#12C27), terribly sharp. Lovely!

Bewitching blade, Jolipapa! :thumbup:
Day off with the old soldier.
...
Old soldiers are the best, Captain! :thumbup:
Thats a beaut, KP!
I've been suffering with my back the past couple of weeks, and it's particularly painful today. Hoping Charlow Power helps! ...
...
Hope the twin Charlows had a restorative effect, Jack! A bum back is bad news.
Boss blade, Jake; if you got it, flaunt it!
Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
Bark River Little Creek, Case/Bose Norfolk
Beautiful pair, Mike! I find the Norfolk especially brilliant!
These today. They make a nice pair.
...
Finishing 7 days of sports related color schemes with my Detroit Tigers carry (if you ignore the blue lanyard
). Also orange and black are the colors of my local high school, the Webster Groves Statesmen
.
The black and orange pairs are the bees knees, puukkoman and Whetstone!! :thumbup: Thanks for the big-league nod to the Tigers, Tom.
My anniversary gift from Wifey! :thumbup:

Happy anniversary, Mitch; that gift from your wife is capital!! :thumbup:
have two acrylic tortoise shell today for April 1 morning creekside hike...
...
Captivating tortoise shell, Steve! Is that canoe a Rough Rider? Ive often contemplated getting a RR canoe in tortoise shell, but wasnt sure what it would look like in person, but I think your pic has made up my mind to get one next time I send in an order! :thumbup:
Received this gunstock last night and in the pocket today. My first knife from Mr. Allen and also my first folder with burlap handles. It has a really grippy texture that i like quite a bit.
Congrats on your champion Allen, Wilsonhome!
Went to the Badger knife show
And came back with these additional ones in the pockets. One Case and 4 Cattaraugus
It was a good day.
Harry
Congrats, Harry; looks like it was a FANTASTIC day at the show! :thumbup: Did you see anyone else from The Porch there? Maybe Ill have to find some way to make sure I have a little free time for the Badger knife show next year!
Not sure if I am totin' Earl...or he's totin' me
...
Great photo, Fausto! I hope you both enjoy EARLs visit to Sardinia!
Haven't carried anything outside of my yellow Case medium Stockman for 5 years. So, today, I changed it up a bit. Bought this guy maybe 8 months ago and took out of the box for the first time. Case Canoe in rough black.
Ive become a huge canoe fan, so I can believe that a fine canoe like that could persuade you to give up your stockman for a while!
How do you like the canoe so far? What are your impressions of Cases rough black handles?
...
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
Here was my carry for the day and a shot of this sublime sunset. That line where the light stops is incredible.
...
Two brilliant photos, Tim!
Bejeweled beauty! :thumbup:
TGIF
Today's carry was a smooth one
:thumbup:
Very chic, Ron! :thumbup: Seems like I've seen several very covetable examples of smooth ivory bone recently (you, Harry, Brett, at least).
Still no sign of Primble?
Hope he's OK.
Carrying these two old Sheffields today, Christopher Johnson and Wheatley Brothers. Have a great weekend everyone :thumbup:
Couple of charismatic cutters you're carrying today, Jack; I always enjoy seeing the tacklers knife! :thumbup: I also enjoy seeing that the prodigal Primble has resurfaced!
It's springtime around here, and today's the first crawfish boil of the year. I'll be carrying my dedicated Party Knife.
Catchy photo, Rachel! I've eaten corn-on-the-cob and I've eaten potatoes and I've eaten bread, but I've never tried crawfish; tastes like chicken, I suppose?
...
Thank you for opening up my old wounds GT ~!

( I have actually got caught up on some much needed property maintenance chores for both myself and my mother in the past two weeks
)
Totin' this Cattaraugus Dogleg Jack Model 22539 that I got in last week. The closed length is 3 and 3/8ths inches:
The Porch was getting worried over your absence, and I thought desperate times called for desperate measures, so I invoked the UK thing, hoping to draw you out of the woodwork. Nothing personal ...
That cross-species Catt Dog leg should be in a centerfold!!
:thumbup:
Beautiful morning today! Sun is shining, and we're already at 11C (52F) at 9:00am, and looking to hit a high of 20C (68F). Sowbelly and Little Creek in the pocket for today.
That sowbelly is a chart-topping classic, Mike! :thumbup: Hope you enjoy your spring day; its been snowing here for 4 hours, the evergreens are drooping badly with their snow loads, and it looks like 3 inches of snow have accumulated on top of the recycling bin so far.
favorite pair today
Charming blacks, charming blades; definitely a dark dapper duo, Steve! :thumbup:
It's the weekend, so I may interrupt my regularly-scheduled carry and just grab knives on a whim: Whimsical Weekend!
Today I stuffed my pockets with all the Alox I own:
a black Pioneer and a silver Electrician (a la Whetstone's theme, these could represent the Oakland Raiders - just win, baby
)
also a green Farmer and a red Cadet (the Milwaukee Bucks are the only red/green pro team I can come up with on short notice, Tom
)
- GT
