[Jack Black]

My internet service provider are having 'technical problems', which have denied me access all day. I'm useless on my phone, but just wanted to say Hi to everyone. Today is Stan Shaw's 90th birthday. Many Happy Returns to him

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

Beautiful Jack... Jack.

I'm enjoying everyone's pictures! I wanted to get outside with a favorite knife and my new hanx and snap something today, but I'm laid up with a pretzel spine instead. To be 20 again.

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

Primitive Bone 66 Calf Roper which is definitely heavier and more solid feeling than the ebony version.

There's a familiar face! Glad to see her getting some carry, Alan!

 

[smcclown05]

Just got this beauty in!

 

[joeradza]

It's strange Colin. The Primitive Bone makes it feel like a completely different knife than the ebony version.

I'm running late tonight but I have scanned over today's postings. Some mighty fine Traditionals by everyone! I had this improved 48 with me today. :thumbup:

That is some beautifully colored and exquisitely jigged bone on that trapper, Ron!

Nice sleeves on these arms.

Another gorgeous TC pair, Dee, and razors no less! :thumbup:


I carried this one today.

I hope the new single spring 13s turn out as nice as that half congress(or whittler?)! That one is gorgeous.

Nice 303 Clay

Now a Ruple Queen Sowbelly

I've never been a sow belly fan, but oh mama that's a looker!

That is one stunning stockman, Jake! If you don't mind I'd love a shot of it with the blades open. It doesn't seem like it has the standard stockman setup.

Carried these two today

The presidential was looking so photogenic that I had to take a quick solo shot. It's rare that I actually capture the grain in the ebony like I did tonight.

 

[Falling_rain]

My little Queen is with me today.

 

[Jsega51]

Here ya go Erik. It's a "modified" stockman. Replaces the sheep and spey with another setup like this wharncliffe and zulu pen. It creates a nice low riding blade setup.

Over the top Jake

Fantastic shot, Erik! You really do capture the grain well in your photos. :thumbup:

Always nice to see that Jewel Jake. You may feel that it is just one of the many incredible ones that you have , but I still have no Bose or Davison and am very glad to see any of either makers. Thank you very much for your posts Jake.

Long few days and time to hit the hay, this one in my pocket today.

Is that poetry, StoneBeard?? Certainly a poetic knife! :thumbup:

...
Gary, Thank you as well. I admire the time you take to post on the daily carries of members here and your weekly carries:thumbup:

Thanks, Paul. I appreciate you writing that.

...
Sorry, but I don't have a BoneStag ballpoint to go with today's carry.

That looks better every time I see it, r8shell! :thumbup:

...
That it is, GT!

Hope you're enjoying the scenery as much as I am :thumbup:. That is quite the view .

If you're referring to the scenery in the shot of my Imperial toothpick, I'm enjoying the memories; that's a vacation pic from a couple of summers ago.

Thanks, Gary. Nice toothpick and nautical theme! :thumbup:
...
Today's carry. I think this is my favorite Camillus. One of those knives whose history I dream about. Maybe it was carried by one of our WWII soldiers; maybe the son back home cherished this knife from Dad while Dad was off to war or maybe it was a Christmas present from money scraped together during the wartime shortages. Who knows?

Thanks, Dean. Your Tip Top 2-blade Barlow is superb!

...

Tremendous twosome, JSCHENK!

Böker Beer Barrel Whittler this week.

Roll out the barrel!! That whittler looks incredible! :thumbup:

All this yeller lately inspired me!

Clay

I'm enjoying your stunning variety of Buck 303s, Clay!

Now a Ruple Queen Sowbelly

Sumptuous sowbelly, sir! :thumbup:

Nice sleeves on these arms.

Totally Charming Twin Charlows!

When my dad passed some time ago, I ended up going through his knife drawer as we were getting all of his affairs squared away. My dad liked to buy a knife and use it until it failed/broke and when it did, he would toss it in the drawer, never to see daylight again. Amidst all of the old, worn Schrades, Bucks, and cheap hardware store specials, I found this little guy, amazingly still intact. A Frontier by Imperial Ireland, nothing fancy or valuable but it was his. I carry it with me every single day and though I do not use it for much of anything besides reaming my pipe now and then, it still serves as a little piece of my dad that I get to keep with me every where I go.

Welcome to The Porch, Padruig! Thanks for sharing that story of the fine memento you found! :thumbup:

These three are with me today,

Joel Chamblin whittler, Rick Menefee trapper and a fixed blade from Salem Straub with a Paul Long sheath

Always a thrill to see that Chamblin whittler, Kris! :thumbup:

My internet service provider are having 'technical problems', which have denied me access all day. I'm useless on my phone, but just wanted to say Hi to everyone. Today is Stan Shaw's 90th birthday. Many Happy Returns to him

Unbelievable that someone is turning out such high-quality work at that age, Jack! :thumbup: My productivity is al ready declining and I'm still a quarter-century from 90!

Carried these two today

Those knives make a very handsome couple, Erik! :thumbup:

Amazing knife, Jake! :thumbup:

The last of the knives I'm carrying this week.
A Holub electrician (thanks, Dave):

A Rough Rider half whittler:

As always, I also carried a Vic Minichamp, a chestnut bone Sodbuster Jr, and a scrimshawed Rough Rider small stockman, but I won't post pics this week.

In the kitchen this week, I had this Marbles leg knife (among others):

- GT

As always you are too kind.
That electrician is fantastic! Are the scales Bakelite? I have a couple with Bakelite and I just love them but they don't look near as good as yours...great knife!

Very classy Mr P :thumbup:

Thank you Mr. Jack !

Regarding your carry today, such a nice photo of a great knife - hope Stan has a great 90th !!! :thumbup:

One of my most favorite of your knife photos. Good to see that beauty again, Rob!
