Nice MOTS, Gary. :thumbup: I've been carrying a similar Imperial.

 
It does my heart good to see all the tin shell Imperial love these days. It wasn't too long ago they were looked down upon by many collectors as not worthy of any attention, the cheap throw away. Used to find brand new display cards of mint Imperials for $20-$40 back in the day BBF. I still pick 'em up when I see 'em all rusted up, sometimes you get lucky and under the rust there's a serviceable everyday knife.

Maybe even usually.
 
I just got this Queen #26 yesterday & I think it's going to be in my pocket for a long time.
 
I've had a very difficult time rotating anything else into my pocket as of late. Have a great day, porch dwellers :loyal:

Kris, that Straub Damascus has a psychedelic look to it, "groovy man" lol.
My favorite Case today along with a WLST.

 
Some really nice Barlows here! I've been shopping for a good one on the on-line knife stores, but they're hard to find.
 
Great knives today, guys!

Something new for me today, paired up with my Ohta. Thanks to our Exchange!

Muley made by Lon Humphrey, around 7" OAL, forged 1095 at 58 RC with Curly Maple covers. What a great little EDC! Lon is an ABS Journeyman Bladesmith. The knife is a no nonsense user. I love the forged in guard (nothing fancy but well done). I can see this one getting a lot of use. Thanks for luring me with this one, Jake!

Fabulous combination you've got there, Dean.

I've got a pair of Rough Riders that were generously given away by some of the forum's best. Yellow Barlow (Thanks, Alan!) and a Diamond Jim Sowbelly (Thanks, Gary!) trekking the jobsite. Please excuse the bolster selfie there. Wasn't paying enough attention to details (which is scary because attention to details is kind of my job. :eek: )!
