Toting the Boy's Knife (GEC 2016) again today.

 

[glennbad]

Man, that tortoise shell is a looker!

 

[Itsasportsbar]

Great knives and pictures all!

Thanks for the comments Gary.

I like that Lambsfoot Gary.

Today it's a TC Barlow and a Vic Pioneer.

Have a great evening everyone!

If I did that 5K Qs I couldn't carry this one today.

You need to expand your "carry horizons", Atiger. You don't have to limit your carry to just one a day. Become a "Knife Polygamist", someone who is allowed to have (and carry) more than one knife!

...
Thanks GT, great tune :thumbup:
...

Thanks, Jack. There's also a YouTube performance of Screamin' Jay Hawkins singing "I Put a Spell on You" on The Merv Griffin Show that I watched, but that one was too over the top for my tastes!

...
Thanks GT! I'm glad you noticed the difference. I've been enjoying seeing how their appearance changes in different lighting situations. The "new additions" photos were taken shortly after dawn and today's was taken a couple of hours later in the day.

Thanks for the additional info, Greg!

Here's a one month of solid carry update for yall. This is such a great knife for my needs!

Glad you find your Peanut so satisfying, Ben; it sure looks striking! :thumbup:

...


Wooden Wednesday for me -- the petrified wood Anza is probably going to start seeing more carry time once I finish stitching a sheath for it and a small folder.

Wonderful wood selection, TB; I'm always impressed with that jigged wood Case sunfish! :thumbup:

My first Viper, a birthday gift from Pam. It was for the big 60, way back in 2014.

Interesting to see the Viper that started it all for you, Ron. (Also interesting that you say "way back in 2014" and I'd say "just back in 2014", since that seems like only yesterday! )

I found this one last week for $6. It needed a little TLC, but I got it looking good. Been carrying it for a few days now, rides really well in the pocket. Don't know anything about ATCO Italy. The Japanese ones aren't very good quality, but these are really decent. Nice looking bone...

You certainly did get it "looking good", Glenn! The jigging is awesome! :thumbup:

This shiny beauty came today!

I got my tortoise acrylic stainless #15 today, so I thought I'd make a pair:

Toting the Boy's Knife (GEC 2016) again today.

...

Tremendous tortoise shell, quaboag & ALLHSS & Dadpool & Travman! :thumbup: (I suspect only Travman's is real, though! )

This 2016 GEC #15 Boy's Knife arrived today and jumped right into my pocket.

The Tiki Bar in Solomans, MD.

Dadpool & Erik & jrawk, I'm afraid the backgrounds of your pics were too distracting, and even disturbing, for me to pay as much attention to your knives as I usually do! Dadpool, I saw versions of your photo in several threads and kept trying to determine if the woman was actually firing her pistol between that guy's legs!!

...
Esky for me



Sam

Sam, your Esky has a lot of very desirable features! :thumbup:

Shrimp and Scallops!

Wow, Shane, your Kentucky breakfast is sure a lot more imaginative than my Michigan oatmeal!!

Enzo necker and a beer scout today.

Splendid "black & white" photo, Tom! Love that Beer Scout and lanyard combo! :thumbup:

This morning's carry.

GuestWho and Dean, those are Tastefully Composed shots of your TC Barlows! :thumbup:

...

Interesting pair of knives, JSHENK; that damascus toothpick really caught me eye today! :thumbup:

I think I've already posted the Vic Electrician and the Case SodbusterJr that I carry every week. Here are the other constant carries I have:
a Vic Minichamp

a Case jigged Delrin TruSharp Peanut

and a "custom scrimshawed" Rough Rider small stockman

- GT

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks, Jack. You'd never realize it looking at my hamhock hands but for a sub-5" OAL fixed blade the Anza has surprisingly good ergonomics for me. Now I think I've caught the fixed blade bug again. :grumpy:

LOL! I can understand that my friend, if the knife laws were more relaxed here, and I lived out of the city, I'd probablt carry a small FB every day :thumbup:

Enzo necker and a beer scout today.

Nice pair Tom :thumbup: How do you find that Necker, it looks very lightweight? I like the Elver I got at the beginning of the year :thumbup:

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks, Jack. There's also a YouTube performance of Screamin' Jay Hawkins singing "I Put a Spell on You" on The Merv Griffin Show that I watched, but that one was too over the top for my tastes!

...

I think I've seen that legendary performance GT! THe version I listen to most often is Nina Simone's :thumbup:

That is brilliant! :thumbup:

 

[Cannonball970]

'Nother Northwoods for me today. I'm not sure why I don't carry this one more often.

 

[WhittlinAway]

and a "custom scrimshawed" Rough Rider small stockman

I always enjoy seeing your Euler's Identity stockman. :thumbup:

Thank you, GT!

 

[Macchina]

Carried my 92 Rosewood Spear for a bit of gardening today.



But most of my day was spent with my new Muse:

 

[quaboag]

Thin, sharp, and forever shiny. GEC 440c sure can take a fine edge!

Splendid "black & white" photo, Tom! Love that Beer Scout and lanyard combo! :thumbup:

a Vic Minichamp

Thanks GT! Great lanyard on the minichamp yourself sir :thumbup:. Ages ago I worked for an outward bound type program as a trip leader, and I knew all kinds of useful knots. I may remember 3 of those today . You have inspired me to get out my books of knots and relearn .

Nice pair Tom :thumbup: How do you find that Necker, it looks very lightweight? I like the Elver I got at the beginning of the year :thumbup:

Thanks Jack! The necker is a great little knife, and only 2.3 ounces with a 2.5 inch (6.35 cm) blade. It is flat ground, and 12c27 steel so very easy to sharpen. I didn't like the plastic sheath that came with it, but it fits well in a KnivesShipFree leather pocket sheath. It performs way outside of its weight class for me .

 

[Jimmycue]

My first Custom will be my edc for some time to come.

A pedestrian knife helping with the garlic scapes.

Thanks fellas!

GT - How do you carry so many beauties at once? Surely, one pocket isn't enough.....

I enjoy using old pulp novels as backdrops, particularly when their colors complement the knife I'm photographing. The woman is shooting the evil space-tree, but not through the dude's legs.

 

[r8shell]

GT, It still makes me happy to see you happy with the little Euler's Stockman.

I challenged myself to carry the Farmer's Jack last weekend, and ended up carrying it all week. That little hawkbill is a joy to use opening packages, cutting plastic tarps, peeling fruit, etc. :thumbup:

And as usual I always need a little pocket scalpel, and there are few better than the coyote.

 

[Tilley Knife]

That was my son's soccer game. I'm not sure if small knives are allowed at this high school stadium.

Here is a picture from this afternoon.

I was wondering when I'd see that one in here. Such a beautiful ole girl deserves to be taken out :thumbup:

I've been carrying my SS 15 tortoise since Monday. No need for another pic of the same knife. I have to say that I am very impressed with the ease of sharpening and edge retention so far.
