Great photo and what I'll bet is a great knife!

I'm always excited to see what everyone is posting in this thread, and I find some time to come here every day to check out the action! :thumbup:
But I'm sad to say that "life's circumstances" have forced me to decide that I just don't have time anymore to make my lengthy posts commenting on many of the knives I admire. I hope I can regularly post some of the knives I'm carrying each week, but I won't be doing my "usual" posts until at least February. :(
(And I'm ignoring all the applause I hear in response to this announcement! :mad::D)

But I don't think I can help myself from commenting on others' posts every now and then!

Atiger, I always love your old Barlows, including the luscious Schrade, but those acorns!!! :eek::thumbup::thumbup: I have a yard full of old red oaks, and I've never noticed that my tons of acorns had such beautiful patterns and grains!

This week I'm carrying (among others):
Stockman of the Week is an Uncle Henry (thanks, Dean)

Your enthusiastic posts will be missed, Gary. But we expect a really long catch-up post in February! :):) Great carry knives this week!


Yesterday, I had my Swiss Champ with me all day as I constructed an IKEA designed cabinet made in Poland.

Today, I'm carrying these two.

 
This pic might be a few days old, but I've had the knife with me every day for over a week now. It's at the upper end of my range for length choice, but is very pocketable (watch-pocketable with Lee Jeans) due to it's single bladed slimness. Back when I was reserving this one, I was this><close to also reserving another in sawcut green. Where did I leave that time machine...?

Just got this in today and it went straight into the pocket. Excellent blade and supreme quality!

I've been pretty happy with a SAK in my pocket most days but I got the itch for a traditional and was leaning towards a stockman and I stumbled upon this jack knife. Love everything about it; size, fit, and finish. It's been in my pocket a couple of days now and I don't see it being knocked out anytime soon.
