I recently picked up this Hen and Rooster from AG Russell's website, one of the finest knives I have ever handled. 1950s vintage, worth the sticker price IMO.
fantastic jigging on that swayback.
...
GT, very good closeup of the SBJ,
...The Pioneer knows exactly what to do after a hike!
Thanks for the kind words about that swayback jack, jrawk, Steve, and Dean.
...Two thumbs way up for that Swayback Jack! :thumbup::thumbup:
The Farmer's Jack was with me on the trails today. It sure does cut well!
Tom, that white Beer Scout looks prime! Howd your experiment pairing it with a modern folder go?I paired a Beer Scout with a modern today, trying something a bit different for me.
I can see why you like it, btmac; it looks practically perfect!This little H&R Whittler ... I can't put my finger on why, but I really like this knife.
Enjoy your trip to Germany! Looking forward to a photo showing off your new beer horn, knife, and lederhosen; I like the idea of wearing a strop!I don't think beer horn is Munchen kind of thing only, but you certainly should have those around there. We are going there this summer. I am planning to pick traditional Bavarian nicker knife there, and maybe lederhosen to go with that.
I love that you can carry grand pa knife! :thumbup:

Congrats on the pleasant new-to-you #66, Jeff; the patina looks great!Picked this #66 medium stockman up from the exchange last week, and gave it my usual "PPP" (Pocket Protective Patina) before carrying it.
...
Peachy pair, Ken; always enjoy seeing your Popular!Today it's a GEC 28 in snakewood and a Vic Popular.
...

You can be proud of that pair, FBC! The plush pocket pouch and the polished bone on your #55 look phenomenal together!

Pulchritudinous pair, Tom! I read about knives here, of course, but I rarely have the chance to actually TALK about knives; how is "Camillus" pronounced? Does it sound more like "Camel Lust" (accent on first syllable) or roughly rhyme with "vanillas" (accent on second syllable)?
Cool photo, Mike! I enjoy tuna on toast now and then, but your toasty stag on that Tuna Valley is pretty pleasing too!...
Tuna Valley Railsplitter
Peerless, posh pen, Ernie!
Powerful Powderhorn praise, Duane! I admire your loyalty to and satisfaction with that preeminent toothpick!...
today, as most days...
This one has just become like a part of me, it just stays in the pocket day after day, week, month...I don't even think about carrying a different knife anymore. I wasn't looking for it to happen, but somewhere along the line I realized that I wasn't looking in the drawer anymore perusing my knives and deciding which one to pocket for the next day.
perhaps it set it's roots into me, or maybe I'm just getting older, but it is comforting to reach in the pocket and know that this one will most always be sitting in the same orientation that it was pocketed in. Something about the curved shape and weight of it. I don't even know it's in the pocket, so I check often, maybe I'm just reassured by touching it, while waiting in line, or pumping gas into the car.
Sorry to hear you had such a busy week, Ron, but it was also a premium week with all those classics you got to carry!I have been so busy lately that I find myself in catch up mode again this week....
Tuesday's carry was this 56 Dogleg Jack
...
Wednesday's carry was this 83 in Cocobolo
...
Thursday's carry was a Buck 301 Stockman
...
Today I was totin' my old faithful 73 and his new partner Big Red
...
I can certainly see why you prize that one, Ben! Pure professional!Picked up this Lloyd last Friday, been carrying it all week and the 52100 patina is coming along nicely. This is one tough knife.
...
Perhaps I was a little too literal with the "old" part, but it was nice to get my Queen 'nut and the Imperial cattle knife into the pockets today, a place both obviously spent a lot of time over the years:
+5K!!! Gotta agree with Rachel, Tsar. You can be proud of that prestigious pair! I admire a lot of your knives, but had no idea you had ones as precious as these!
In case you haven't noticed, in this post, I've been working through the "p-words" in the little list of complimentary synonyms I put together for myself. And Primble, they ALL apply to that NYKC jack: premium, provocative, pristine, priceless, to choose just a few words that might be left over!...Toted this New York Knife Company Jack today:
All three are refined and resplendent, Justin! (Moving into my "R-list" now.)I have really been enjoying single springs and pearl lately. Pearl handled Victorinox accountant, Hen and Rooster Half Congress, and a Canal Street Ring Opener.

Nice, Joel; looks like AG Russell has at least two "pearls of great price" between you and JustinR!Well it's already tomorrow here. This is what I was carrying yesterday:

Best wishes for your move, Drew! That Kabar Barlow rocks!Wonderful knives all!! I haven't been on the porch too much of late, we are selling our house and buying another and as many of you know that is an all encompassing affair! But it is a very positive step for our family so very worth the stress and long days for sure. Had this one on me today, one of my favorites.
Two cute couples; both the knives and the people are ravishing! (Of course, I'm not calling either of you humans a sowbelly!!)... Went on the first hike of the season this morning, and it was also the first outing with my new LT Wright Gary Wines Bushcrafter. Case Sowbelly tagged along as well.
...

Respected old Barlow, H & S! Congrats!
Ritzy pair, Ron! And with the Forum down each time I happened to check yesterday, I completely forgot about Stag Saturday!! I wonder if there were any new posts in that thread yesterday?Totin' these 2 for the day. The Case teardrop was also along for Stag Saturday.
Good luck with the gobblers, Macchina! Quality NMB!My Northwoods Madison today and the whole weekend. Turkey hunting starts tomorrow so we made it a long weekend.
Rapturous pair, Tom; I like the "change of pace" in the composition....
My carries today.
Rachel, I know that weekly carry style is radical and ridiculous, but don't you agree that it's almost all pros and no cons (as long as you've got a sturdy belt)? I like your Remington; the 2-tone green covers have to be one of the most recognizable looks for an old folder.I've got more interesting knives. Knives with more sentimental value. But lately this Case punch-stockman keeps finding its way into my pocket. I'm finding it really useful to have an awl/punch tool with me.
...
Just sharpened up this little Camillus Remington. The size of a Buck 305, but with 3 blades!
Also in the week's rotation, the ever present Coyote and his Terrier cousin.
...
I'm getting to be like a certain mathematician I know, what with laying out the week's rotation of knives, and then just putting them all in my pockets.
Congrats on the recent finds, Mitch!Two from the junk store yesterday. A KaBar Barlow and an unknown advertising mini Barlow made in Japan.

That's a rich-looking stockman! Congrats, Gary!Just got this Northwoods medium stockman in stag, nice knife, D2 blades, made in Gladstone MI
G2
That rare (to me) knife looks remarkable each time you post it, Jolipapa!
Both are renowned knives, Ken; high quality pairing!...
Today I went with a GEC 66 and a Vic Cadet II.

R8shell, without order, there is chaos! (I think that came from a movie...maybe "Big Trouble in little China".
)Very nice looker!Beautiful weekend weather here in the Shenandoah valley. I like the way dyed camel bone looks different depending on the light.
