Today with Weidmannsheil.

 

[5K Qs]

Well, I seem to be massively behind again in this thread. I’ll comment on some knives that caught my eye on Wednesday (or maybe even Tuesday - who knows??). Maybe I’ll get to Thursday/Friday knives this weekend.

…Beautiful Sodbuster, GT! That Electricians knife looks fantastic, as well.

Not a cloud in the sky today (Booooooo!) for my Peanut and Mini Trapper (Thanks, Paul!)

Thanks, Shawn. Pretty pair of Cases you posted there. :thumbup:

Gary I like your case soddy jnr and the elinox, great choices there

Like ISKRA I've a cv peanut today, although mine appears to have seen considerably more wear

Thanks, Paul. Your red peanut looks fantastic!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Don't you mean half-matched?

I've got a splash of color today for my mid-week carry:

I switched from “unmatched” to “poorly matched”, but I like your suggestion even better, given the knife it describes; wanna job as copy editor of my posts?? Cool Conductor, Greg!

…
I'm carrying these two today. A GEC 25 and a Vic Watch Case Opener.

Have a good one!

Ken K.

Another pair you can carry with pride, Ken! :thumbup: And another thing I learned: I’d never seen a Vic Watch Case Opener model before. Did some Googling, and it seems they’re readily available. Do you think a person could sharpen the edge of the “watch tool” to make it a secondary blade?

It's a small world here GT, most folk are just a couple of handshakes apart I was talking to a feller the other day who told me he sat next to Joe Cocker at college in Sheffield. He wasn't very complimentary about his hygiene, telling me, "They weren't called the bl--dy Grease Band for nothing!" Thanks for the compliment, that is a nice line-up you have, and a great pic of your Sodbuster :thumbup:
…

Thanks, Gary. I see you have another great Sodbuster Jr in a suitably rugged photo! :thumbup:
…I’m carrying Coco in honor of Wooden Wednesday. (of course, my ever-present Red Bone TC is also with me.)

…
GT That Sod Buster and your pic of it are :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks for the interesting story, Jack. Thanks for the kind compliments on my Sodbuster Jr pic, Jack & Dean & FBC. My pics of that knife were taken in a hurry as the sun was going down. My usual "knife photo studio" on the back patio had insufficient light by that time, so I tried direct, but nearly horizontal, sunlight near the alley along our back yard, and got results much better than I'd hoped for! :thumbup: Maybe I should take more photos under those conditions!
Dean, that is a marvelous knife you posted! :thumbup::thumbup: My GEC model recognition skills are not very well-developed; is that some kind of #68?

This old '33-'41 Russell may just be my favorite barlow. Good overall condition, pretty sawcut bone worn smooth with age and use, good snap and easy pull - when I can't decide what to carry, this one generally gets the nod...

Identification: possible Papilio cresphontes GIANT SWALLOWTAIL

Two incredibly appealing Barlows, Atiger and Gev!! :thumbup: Thanks for posting!

…Something new today.

Splendid Maserin Sodbuster, Brett; that blond horn is gorgeous! :thumbup: What kind of horn is that, do you know?

Ebony for me today

Memorable and dignified, Ron!

These 2 today for wooden Wednesday :...

Then the Mail came and this also was in my pocket ...

Harry

Congrats, Harry, on the striking wood and the royal purple!! :thumbup:

The A W Wright is becoming a regular

…Sway Back Jack this sunny Wednesday.

lambertiana and Dantone, those are fabulous photos of a couple of very desirable knives!! :thumbup:

…
These two for me today


...

As usual, a fine pair for you, Jack. That stag Abbeydale evokes good feelings in me each time I see it!

Oops, gotta run! I'll try to post some pics of my knives later.
This week I've been carrying a Vic Minichamp and Huntsman:

As always, I've also carried a chestnut jigged bone CV Sodbuster Jr (thanks, Bob) and a small Rough Rider stockman (thanks, r8shell) all week:

In the kitchen this week, it's mainly been the Colonial Forest-Master of my youth, along with a Buck toothpick:

Truly astounding piece Aribach, Paul is one of the best UK custom slipjoint makers I've seen~

The last couple of pages is giving me flashbacks. Gevo quoting the Beatles and Swaybacksteve posting "magic" mushrooms!
Oh well, back to the real world.

Alan

Fantastic drop point 25 Alan, great photo too!

Beautiful Tim :thumbup:

I hope everyone has had a good week Putting these two in my pockets today :thumbup:

Great week so far Jack, I echo everyone else with the sentiments that those two are one of my favourite pairs from you. Especially the stag usual suspect~

Can never go wrong with a Dowell + Markesharp fixed for fixed blade Friday carry

 

[joeradza]

Thanks Tim, that Markesharp looks to be unusually special.

Alan

 

[eschwebach]

Erik, good to see you around. Haven't seen many posts from you lately. Nice grain on your BS. :thumbup:

Thank you Bob, I kind of lost my way for a while there. I lost my job, found a new job, and have just been crazy busy with life and the kids. Things are starting to calm down a bit now thankfully.

 

[Gevonovich]

 

[Peregrin]

Outstanding, Gev! They are both beautiful, but that little pearl handled number just looks perfect.

 

[RDaneel]

Thanks Dean, what a peach! :thumbup:

Thank you, Jack!

A sophisticated carry for the discriminating knife knut, Dee! :thumbup:

Wow Dean, I saw where Jack commented on this beauty, I had to as well. Gorgeous old girl right there. If not a bother please post pictures of it open. Wow, just look at those COVERS!!!

Thank you, Paul! Here are some more photos.

What a lovely Schrade!

Thank you, Greg!

0ld red bone Cattaraugus today...

[/IMG]

Beautiful covers on that Catt, Atiger! :thumbup:

Dean, that is a marvelous knife you posted! :thumbup::thumbup: My GEC model recognition skills are not very well-developed; is that some kind of #68?
- GT

Thank you, Gary! It's a GEC 66, Calf Roper Slim. I was drawn to the clip blade on this one and the Cocobolo definitely green-lighted it.

What a pair, Gev! A+ super duper. :thumbup::thumbup: I kinda like them.



Today, a Case Medium Jack and my EDC Barlow.

 

[Gevonovich]

Outstanding, Gev! They are both beautiful, but that little pearl handled number just looks perfect.

Thank you, Gary! It's got some coining on the liners at the spring that is just exquisite. The back scale was all humpty dumpty but it's tight now Still dealing with the rust and having lots of fun getting her tip top

Dean
Your Schrade Cut is a real gem. I was hoping for more photos today..you captured its essence. Schrade did it with flair

 

[Will Power]

Pt-Luso A very fine small horn lockback you have , I like Weidmannsheils a lot.:thumbup:

Gev That's what sunk-joints are all about! Remarkable brace there

Regards, Will

I've got one of those Watch Case Opener SAKs around here somewhere (Wenger) I've wondered if I could use it to shuck small oysters.

They've been predicting a cool front to bring rain and cooler temperatures. Stag always makes me think of Autumn, so I've been carrying my 2014 Forum knife all week. Today it rained just enough to make steam rise from the sidewalks, but no Fall weather in sight.

 

[Old Engineer]

These today

Thank you, Will! So many small features to notice on these itty bitties I'm still taking it all in. You are absolutely right about the Weidmannsheil...man I love those knives:thumbup::thumbup: Very nice piece Pt-Luso!!

 

[flatblackcapo]

I have been carrying my cocobolo beer scout most of the week.

Erik, good to see you around. Haven't seen many posts from you lately. Nice grain on your BS. :thumbup:

+1!

Spent a good part of yesterday at the dentist. I had the SAK Electrician in tote.

Not much of a looker but a hell of a knife

If you were to ask me what the quintessential American knife was - I probably would have said a cv case trapper in yellow delrin. An absolute classic :thumbup:

What's the story on the bottom one? I really like the shape.
