That is truly amazing.
 
Thanks, Tim, the pile side looks pretty great, too! Plus, the whole hafting is nicely rounded, very much like a custom.

Been busy and unable to post for the last couple of days. I'm not going to fight with multi-quote while I'm browsing on mobile but please know that I really admire the beauties everyone's been posting! I've got the ever-present 22 and the big, blue IRJ on my person today.

Very nice knives everyone:thumbup: A seven day work week has me trying to catch up on all the good things that have been posted on the porch. I've had the #77 in my pocket all week and gave it a break today for the #38.



Happy belated birthday Ron!!! Hope you had a great day:D
 
What model is that Alox SAK, Mr. Wijbenga? It looks delightfully slender! :thumbup: (How do you like your DMT "diamond credit card"?)

...
I can't figure out why Case took that Chestnut CV SBJ out of regular production. I assumed it would be one of their most popular offerings, but I always have to remind myself that we porch-dwellers are only a small fraction of their customer base.

Still carrying the punch stockman, plus this little Boker USA rehandled in ebony by Markesharp:
Elegant little Böker, Rachel! :cool:
I once did some searching of BF regarding the SBJ, and they sure were all the rage on The Porch when they first came out!

So many sway backs posted I have to carry mine today
That's a fine one, Shane! :cool:

Both the bread and the knife look delectable, Dschal! :thumbup:

I think it's been a few weeks straight now for this one...many jealous knives sleep in the case.

I can sure see why that one could put a spell on you, Jake! :thumbup:

...
Gorgeous jigging on the SBJ. A great pattern. Good photo and patina, Gary! :thumbup:
...
I have these three Barlows along today. The Case was an unexpected gift (thanks, Dee :) ) The Jigged Red TC has somehow claimed my pocket almost every day lately. And the Scratted beauty is a terrific user.

Thanks for noticing, Dean. :) You have a game-winning Barlow triple play there!! :thumbup:

This Case punch-stockman in CV and amber bone

I admired r8shell's yesterday, and I'll admire yours today, Frank; great-looking and versatile knife!! :thumbup:

...
That is a great chestnut bone pair, GT. Thanks for the kind words on the 15. Jack is most certainly to blame for my love of the Lamb Foot pattern.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks, FBC. Jack is to blame for a lot of good stuff! :D Your pic of the Wright lambsfoot sure nails the beauty of the wood handles! :eek::thumbup: What kind of plant is it sitting on??

...
GT and Combat, those SBJs are just lovely!
...
My baby girl isn't feeling well today and had an unplanned trip to the doctor. Like most days, I'm carrying "her" Peanut, a Bermuda Green Pocket Worn that I bought the day before she was born.

Thanks, Shawn. Hope your little one is doing better now; nice wood work in her room! :cool:

Since it is Stag Saturday , I left home with these in my pockets
...
While Nancy was at a shower for our newest coming Great Grandchild , I was able to find this Old Catt #22379 .
Has good walk & talk , solid , shield , and ghosts of Indian Trails
......

Stunning stag, Harry; that pruner really grabbed my attention today!! :thumbup:
Congrats on finding that venerable Catt while you were just killing some time!! :eek::thumbup::D

Regular Jack today.

Yowza! That's a ravishing knife, Joel! :thumbup:

...
Thanks Gary. That's a nice CV duo you have there!:thumbup:
...
It's finally time!!! :D

Thanks, Ron. I think you're aware of some shenanigans that resulted in my having yet a third member of a Case chestnut jigged bone CV "family"! :thumbup:;):thumbup: And just this week, I picked up a matching Peanut!!
Congrats on the Vols victory, Ron! Were you among the 157K actually at the track for the game?? What's the knife you chose for kick-off?

The past few days I have been carrying my old yellow handled Case Sodbuster Jr. I have left my Victorinox Recruit at home and carried the Soddie for old time's sake. I thought I'd be under tooled, since I find uses for the other tools on a daily basis, but figured, what the heck. I have to admit, I love the feel of the Soddie in my hand. There's something about a well made, single blade pocket knife that just feels......... right. Simple. Minimal. Yet so capable. And the patina'd cv blade tells so many stories. I haven't carried a single blade pocket knife in years, and have grown dependent on all the tools of my SAK. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but man, this little guy right now feels so good. Will be EDCing it for the foreseeable future.
I can sure relate to your situation, Voltron! I took the easy way out, though, and have been carrying an Alox Electrician, a Case SBJr., and my cell phone all in a little pouch on my belt (there's a little flashlight and a small multi-tool in there too). :rolleyes:

I've been carrying this Texas Jack today it just came in the mailbox this morning I bought it from BigBisquit on the exchange. I was getting ready to freshen up the edge an give it a good cleaning when I took the first picture just because I thought it looked cool the second was to show the knife. Very nice knife and a good example of what Case can do. Thanks for indulging a crazy old man.



...
Congrats on the new TJ, Randy! :cool: It's interesting to see all your "stuff" out. Do you use Flitz and Mother's for different purposes? That looks like a gigantic block of green compound you've got! :eek: (I enjoyed seeing the fall placemats, too, that the entire family helped to put out. ;))

New old stock from GECs own inventory;



Isn't she lovely!


- Paul
Aye, Paul, she's a lovely wee thing indeed! :thumbup:

A lovely "new to me" 77 today. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Congrats on that classy 77 Barlow, TK!! :cool:

It is the weekend so my traditional gets joined by a modern (of course unpictured!) blade. I went with one I just finished cleaning up, a Barlett OVB (our very best) with jigged covers. This is a terrific sized pen at 3.25", and it cleaned up really well:thumbup:Already this morning, I went to cut some tape and immediately grabbed this over the modern...
Wow, that looks incredible, Ernie! :thumbup: Any idea how old that OVB might be?

CB, I really enjoy pictures of your gunstock with the blade open! And that IRJ is dynamite! :thumbup:

Since Tuesday, among the knives I was carrying were a big one and two small ones.
BIG: Cold Steel Kudu (actually pocket carried it only on a couple of days when it was in the tool pocket on the leg of carpenter jeans; when I was wearing Dockers most of the rest of the week, it was in my backpack):

small: a Vic Minichamp and a Rough Rider small stockman, both of which I carry every day:

Happy to oblige, my friend! :thumbup: ;)

You make that one and so many others (including today's carry) look darn good. :cool: :)

Thanks Dean.:) Your trio of Barlow's is looking fine.:thumbup:

Thanks for noticing, Dean. :) You have a game-winning Barlow triple play there!! :thumbup:

Thank you for the kind comments, Dee, Ron and Gary!!

Thanks Mike! Love that Northfield 38 Whittler. :) One that has unfortunately eluded me.:grumpy:

Gary - I was not in attendance at the game, but I most certainly was glued to the TV.:D My knife of choice for the whole weekend was my Tidioute 73 Scout with Ebony covers. I know my OO 73 Scout will be peed off at me, but that Ebony was calling my name Friday when I chose my weekend carry.:eek::D
