[Jack Black]

Smashing Paul :thumbup:

Edit - Where's it gone?!

i woke up in the early hours having had a romanesque battle for my life against an very cunning opponent welding a pike and a short sword

LOL! You clearly have a much more excoiting night-life than me Gev! :thumbup:

that's a beautiful old wostenholm you have there!

Thank you very much :thumbup:

 

[btb01]

Great post, Brett, and a couple of top notch knives!

I'm carrying my favorite GEC on this rainy day in the desert.

 

[GuestWho101]

Carrying a special one today.

Thanks again, Dean!

The mighty magnum.

Love it just a little too small for me. But, that will probably change.

[RDaneel]

I agree Tim, nice composition :thumbup:

I woke up in the early hours ruminating about obscure aspects of Barlow history!

Doesn't everyone, Jack? Top notch I*XL Barlow there. :thumbup:

I picked up the 14 TC from Duncan a few weeks ago. Being shipped from New Zealand I think he was getting a little nervous, and for good reason. Inside was not only one little jewel but two!!

A wonderful little Keen Kutter! I have have been eyeing a MOP, but with funds tight and the yearly knife budget near depleted, it would have to wait. However, Duncan must be an angel of cutlery, a Saint of cutlery miracles, or at least voodoo mind reader to send just a desired knife.

I am grateful my friend for the beauty. Both are carried today in prayer for Bob and in an appreciation for the kindness found here on the porch.

A knife may hold a collectors value, a demand for funds value, a rarity value, but in my opinion the best value a knife can hold is the story attached of friendship and family.

So true, Brett! When I tell friends about the knives I've been given from people I know only through BF, they are astonished. Good souls here, good souls.

:thumbup::thumbup: Duncan!!

That is a gorgeous Keen Kutter!!!

Carrying a special one today.

Thanks again, Dean!

You are quite welcome, my friend! I've been doing way too much fondling of a certain Case knife.


For Wooden Wednesday, some knives with wood covers (of all things) were in my pocketses.

 

[Cory Hess]

The mighty magnum.

I really love seeing all of the pictures of your 22. It's not a knife I think I'd carry, but I love seeing people find a knife that works for them and stick with it. Thanks for sharing your knife with us again.

For myself, I'm on day number 9 of carrying my bone stag 49.

 

[5K Qs]

Thank you! Horny Toad is actually just a nickname, it is actually a lizard :thumbup:

Thanks for the additional info, Hunter.

GT : Good looking Uncle Henry
…

Thanks, Steve. It was a generous and unexpected NIB gift from Dean (RDaneel), who considers it his favorite stockman model, I think. Something about Staglon is pleasantly nostalgic for me, although I sure don’t remember any experiences with Staglon knives as a lad.

…I couldn't make up my mind which one to carry so I went with both.

Have a terrific day everyone.

Ken K.

Superb stag BF knives, Bob and Ken!! Ken, I wish we all shared your dilemma.

…
Wow! All those from the porch? These guys & gals never cease to amaze me. :thumbup: :thumbup:
…

Wow is right, GuestWho! Quite incomprehensible!!!

Happy Labor day to everyone on the porch. Schrade ot 340t & Ulster barlow ot

That is a venerable, voluptuous pair, J5!! I especially like that Ulster Barlow!

We went on a camping trip this weekend. For the first time in a while I didn't feel like I needed to bring more than one folder.
…

Glad to hear how happy you are with that knife, Cory, and glad to see the fantastic scenery you folks experienced with your holiday camping!

I am right there with ya, GT. I think this MAM gets more pocket time than any other knife that I own..... plus I keep a Opinel 6 in my mess' bag.
Do you happen to know what the difference is between the Gun Boat and the Canoe pattern?

Tossed the RR Sowbelly in the pocket today.

My understanding is that a standard canoe is 3 5/8” closed with two blades, almost always spear/pen combo. Gunboats have more than 2 blades (most I’ve seen have 3 configured like a stockman instead of a whittler) and they’re usually substantially bigger than a standard Canoe. (Of course, I could be wrong.)
Very nice RR sowbelly, FBC! I have one identical to yours that introduced me to the sowbelly stockman pattern and I was totally surprised at how much I enjoyed that pattern once I started carrying it!

…LOL! I bought the narrow boat for Carl, so it's now down in Texas Another great line-up my friend :thumbup:
…
Carrying this old T M Bingham penknife today :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack. I’m impressed that the little boat could make a transatlantic journey! Attractive pen knife you have!

… I'm trying to not have a use for the Zippo, but I've been a bit stressed lately. Nicotine is a cruel mistress. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

I hear you, Shawn. I smoked (mostly cheap little cigars) for 45 years, but finally quit, after gradually cutting back over 2-3 years, on Christmas 2014. Sometimes still get quite an urge for a cigar after supper on a nice summer evening, but I don’t think I could just have one occasionally.

Think of it like this Shawn. In NY a pack is about $10, so every 10 days or so, you've got a new knife! …
Alan

Good way to quantify it, Alan. Towards the end, I was spending about $1/day for cigars, and most of the knives I buy are about $10, so I ought to be getting about 3 knives per month since I quit smoking!

…
Raggy and Soupy are with me today.



And since it seems to be a theme, I quit 26 years ago after smoking for 20 years. One of the best decisions I ever made. Then I helped my wife quit. Together, we've saved six million dollars.

$6 million!! You & the missus must have smoked like proverbially chimneys, Dean!! But I’m sure now the two of you are a cute couple, just like Soupy & Raggy!

Not my best photo effort...but a nice featherweight pen!

Cool Utica, Ernie! Is that the Girl Scout emblem on it??

Met up with Mr Black today. Took my Pallares of Solsona along.

I admire that one a lot, Thom!

...
Today found this favorite back in my pocket.

Grand OO, Ron!

...
I woke up in the early hours ruminating about obscure aspects of Barlow history!

Glad to see you enjoying that local Barlow, Jack!

A. Wright & Son in the pocket today for Wooden Wednesday

Awesome photo, Mike!! What's the little round leather case?

I picked up the 14 TC from Duncan a few weeks ago. Being shipped from New Zealand I think he was getting a little nervous, and for good reason. Inside was not only one little jewel but two!!

A wonderful little Keen Kutter! I have have been eyeing a MOP, but with funds tight and the yearly knife budget near depleted, it would have to wait. However, Duncan must be an angel of cutlery, a Saint of cutlery miracles, or at least voodoo mind reader to send just a desired knife.

+ 5K!! Preach it, Brother Brett! Congrats on that lovely pair, Brett; the pearl Keen Kutter is a real treasure! Way to go, Duncan!

Sssssnakewood for WW.

Stunning shot, Ken!! (And not being a big fan of live snakes, I find the photo slightly creepy, too.)

Do you call your knife Wesley, Barrett?

Astounding shot, Gev!!

Gotta agree with Dean 100%! Excellent wooden pair, sir!

This week's knives include the following (among others that I hope I'll have time to display later in the week).
An Imperial Ireland stockman with nylon (?) covers and no liners (thanks, Dave):

Jack

Thank you kindly, my friend! i had to pull out some old ....Luger made me do it

:thumbup:

Doesn't everyone, Jack? Top notch I*XL Barlow there. :thumbup:

I thought it was just me! I was PMing Charlie at 6.30am! Thank you my friend :thumnbup:

Thanks GT Fantastic line-up :thumbup:

 

[black mamba]

I picked up this well used ram horn railsplitter off the exchange about a month back, and it has become my perfect daily carry for work, where it gets rough and sweaty treatment. The horn shows a nice "pocket worn" look, and the D2 blades hold a great edge and have, so far, resisted any corrosion.

 

[Gevonovich]

Gary
Thank you kindly kind sir!! Your line up just keeps astounding me. All beauties indeed:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Travman]

Did you know that figs can grow in northern Virginia?

Beagle on some fig leaves.

 

[D.B Cooper]

Covering my bases for Wooden and Wharncliffe Wednesday with this beauty.
I wish Northwoods would produce more knives like this.

Got this RR yesterday. Drawing is by a WW 2 vet on U.S. Naval Air Station letterhead. I think that's a tugboat whistle. Pretty interesting story his picture tells.
