Found some turtle hatching shells left behind on the jobsite this morning. Case Medium Stockman in my pocket all day.

What a sublime knife and sheath, Kris!!! :thumbup: (And a super clean machine behind it.)This stag handled Tony Bose Zulu is on my hip today, with an exceptional sheath that Larry Parsons made for me

Splendid pair, Ken!...
To keep on my Grohmann theme I carried this one today as well as a Case Peanut.

Have a great evening all!

Thanks, Jack....
Thanks pal, great-looking knives, and I always enjoy seeing that wee bottle-opener :thumbup:
Thanks for your comments, Gary. That's a Klaasy canoe!

Thanks, Bob; looking for canoes keeps me off the streets, at least.Thanks Gary. I like the progression of your canoe/cannitler collection.
Thanks Drew. Yes 100 is way too hot especially with the humidity we get around here.
Thanks, Steve.
Nice Viper! And you were generous giving him 2 warning shots![]()
Vaporstang, it's sensational to Cu!
WOW, nice pictures everyone!!!...

and what I think is a long gone bull thistle?

That is a suave, stylish Chambriard, lambertiana! :thumbup:
Striking stockman, FBC!! :thumbup:
That's a seductive pair of 14s, TheFactor!I've been neglecting my #14 camel bone as I haven't carried it since I got it . It's been sitting in the safe so out she comes for tomorrow's carry 😎

It's just been hard to put down my antique yellow bone as its been it my pocket since day one .

That's a seriously salutary selection, Jack! :thumbup: Did that knife have any influence on your acquisition of the A. Wright buffalo lambsfoot that's taken up nearly permanent residence in your pockets recently??
That's a stately Böker congress, Paul!I haven't carried this one in a while, it was my first four blade congress and the first thing I ever bought on the exchange. It's quite a work horse and I love the deep canyon jigged bone.
I have quite a few congress knives now and something struck me for the first time the other day; boker, henkles, hen and rooster, moore maker, rough rider and such all have their blades in the arrangement above. As in, I hold the covers in your right hand and open the main (which is behind the secondary) with your left thumbnail - however, GEC is the only maker which does this in reverse. Isn't that odd?

Stellar stockman, GA!
Thanks 5K ! 😊What a sublime knife and sheath, Kris!!! [emoji106] (And a super clean machine behind it.)
Splendid pair, Ken!Your Grohmann series is superlative! [emoji106]
Thanks, Jack.I don't always drink cola, but when I do, it's NEVER Pepsi! Stay thirsty, my friend.
Thanks, Dean; it seems Klaasy to me, too.
Thanks, Bob; looking for canoes keeps me off the streets, at least.
I might have a promising weather observation for you. Yesterday, I walked 3 miles to work in the morning, and although it was only 75 degrees, my shirt was soon soaked with sweat because the air was so humid. :grumpy: But when I left work just after 5pm and walked 20 minutes to the bus stop, it was at least 85 degrees but I didn't even break a sweat because the dew point had dropped significantly. [emoji106] Maybe that's headed your way (apparently only for a day or two, but it's welcome relief while it lasts).
Thanks, Steve.The canoe is 3" closed, and this is one of the rare occasions where my photo actually looks better than the knife itself!
I've been looking at those little Klaas canoes for ages, but wasn't sure of the quality, but as soon as someone here (and I've forgotten who
) posted a good review, I snapped one up. Very nice little knife! [emoji106]
Your matched micartas look very satisfying; the lanyard on the Bull Nose is scintillating!
I'm not a gun guy at all, but that seems like a significant observation, Mike. [emoji106] It also made me laugh out loud, earning dirty looks from both wife and daughter!
Vaporstang, it's sensational to Cu!
Supreme shots yourself, Paul!!
That is a suave, stylish Chambriard, lambertiana! [emoji106]
Striking stockman, FBC!! [emoji106]
That's a seductive pair of 14s, TheFactor!Glad to see you bring out the smooth camel bone, but I fully understand how the jigged antique yellow bone has established superiority!
That's a seriously salutary selection, Jack! [emoji106] Did that knife have any influence on your acquisition of the A. Wright buffalo lambsfoot that's taken up nearly permanent residence in your pockets recently??
That's a stately Böker congress, Paul!I'm not sure what you think is "odd", that GEC does it "in reverse" or that all the others do it the way they do; do you prefer one way over the other? FWIW, I open all my knives, if possible, in the manner you describe for all of the makers except GEC. But I once asked how people opened their knives, and was astounded by the variety!
