Nice knives today, guys!
Out and about with the Cramer in my pocket.
That blue Pruner is brilliant, Ken! :thumbup:...
I carried these two today. A GEC 25, thanks Will, what are the odds on both of us carrying these today. And a Vic Pioneer Pruner.

Sounds like a busy weekend, Ron; it's great that your OO 73 could support you in many ways!My weekend started at noon on Thursday. Pam and I headed south to my daughters home in LA. Got up Friday morning and picked up a 26 foot UHaul. She had 2 professional movers load her belongings from her home into the UHaul. Two things that come immediately to mind are Sardines & Jigsaw Puzzles!Because that is what the back of that truck looked like when I pulled the cargo door down and locked it.
We headed north around 3PM and spent the night in Birmingham. Saturday morning we were up bright and early and headed north to the Music City. We arrived safely and were unloaded by 2 more professional type dudes. I had my OO 73 as my only knife all the time. I cut a ton of cardboard and shrink wrap and packing tape. Nothing major just common tasks. I know all of you will get a kick out of this. My daughter ordered Pizza for us for a quick evening meal Saturday. Some of the slices needed a little extra cut or two so out comes the 73. My daughters best friend from college had come over to help us unpack. When she saw my 73 she uttered one of the most well known knife phrases, "Now that's a knife!" I wiped the marinara off the blade, smiled and said, "It's just my favorite pocket knife!" I dropped my old friend back in my pocket and went back to enjoying my NY Pizza. I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
That is one far-out patina, Scott, and the way it complements your knife's covers is magnificent!
I forced the patina using Sriracha hot sauce.
:thumbup:Choice photo of a classy knife, Travman! :thumbup:...
After a long hot summer we had a well deserved, beautiful & mild weather this weekend.
Thanks, Cory.GT, I have to tell you how happy it makes me every time you post a picture of that peanut. I'm so glad that you ended up with it, and that you continue to keep it in the rotation. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
I spent most of today doing yard work, and my 49 was with me all day.
I put her away tonight and pulled the D2 version back out. I'm a flip flopper lately, I can't decide which one I like more.
It's obvious from stories that get posted quite frequently around here that knives that have some kind of "human connection" for their owners are more meaningful. I don't really have any heirloom knives from ancestors (except an Imperial toothpick that I and a brother both think is identical to a model one of our grandfathers used to carry, but it's not Grandpa's knife), but I have many knives, including that peanut, from BF members, and those knives remind me of what an unusually positive place The Porch is in a society that seems very negative in many ways. I really like carrying them because of what they represent to me!Couple of knives for all seasons, Jack! :thumbup:...
After a late start, we have had a nice summer here in Yorkshire, but today is distinctly Autumnal. Have a good week everyone :thumbup:
Thanks for the review, Macchina. :thumbup: I really like the canoe pattern, and have often considered trying to find an ebony or rust red jigged bone version of GEC's canoe, since those two were released on my birthday in 2012.I always considered the Canoe pattern to be a bit out there (it's no French Kate
The Canoe spent a week in the woods with me:
(I appreciated your comments on the White Owl, too, since that's another knife with some variations released on one of my birthdays - rust red spearpoint and both clip and spear Kryptonite - that appeals to me.)Thanks for the compliments!
I have several of the chestnut jigged bone CV Cases, and really enjoy them. I have to admit that even for the chestnut dye, there's a surprising amount of variation among knives. But it's definitely much better than some of the Case dye jobs I've seen posted here!Beautiful brown White Owl, Will! :thumbup:Today has been a bright sunny autumn day :thumbup: Not many of those left before the darkness of winter rain & snow descends
Making the most of it with a favourite bird..White Owl/ Light Tan
Splendid whittler, WK!
It's Monday, I have a headache, and my football team lost. But at least my carry is on point!
Wow! Don't start any forest fires with those flaming covers, Gary! :thumbup:Nice knives today, guys!
Out and about with the Cramer in my pocket.
Definitely a jewel, Dean! :thumbup:...

Man, I've had a hankerin' for a Canoe for a little while now and this pic doesn't help! That is the best picture of a canoe pattern I have ever seen. You/GEC knocked it out of the park!
Bruce
Indeed Jack, indeed. A perfect crisp fall afternoon to evening. Good looking pair~Looks like a good time was had by all!

Thanks Bob, it's a wonderful knife and a company I seem to have neglected and now regret. Just a very nice knife.
Tim, Remy looks very happy in your picture, aren't dogs great
Please excuse my typically terrible photo. I dont know how you all take such great pictures.
I recently traded my way into this sweet little 63090 Case stockman. I had not held this model before. Its got a lot going for it. I believe i am really going to like it.
Jim
Mike, that pic is making my mouth water.
The #77 is again in my pocket for another week on the job. Thank you again, Bob.:thumbup:
Harry, $30.00 well spent my friend:thumbup:
This old CASE redbone Pruner today...just a few hours old, arrived this afternoon via USPS:thumbup:
Had a great morning at home on this chilly Monday. (so happy to finally feel Fall), it's off to work with the Orchard Gem.
Wonderful photo! :thumbup:Sounds like a busy weekend, Ron; it's great that your OO 73 could support you in many ways!
Back to my weekly rotation schedule (Week 16 of 20 weeks on the current schedule).
Three knives from my Case-carrying weekend get to stay in my pocket this week, a stag peanut, a chestnut Sodbuster Jr (thanks, Bob), and a sowbelly stockman (thanks, Ron):
- GT
That is quite a nice and versatile trio of Case goodness you have there. It does me proud to see that Sodbuster and Sowbelly together. :thumbup:
This is actually my secondary knife. I always carry a Peanut, but this ultra light Dunlap wharnie has all but replaced it.
This is today's primary knife:
