Did you get the yeller one? Pics?

I've been hoping that the newer 309s have a bit more sweep in their blades than in recent years, seems like around 2002 - 2003 or so they started making 'em pointy...

It's a yeller one. And it does have a very pointy blade. Kinda-sorta a cross between a Clip and a Wharncliffe. Just enough curve at the tip so that you can't really call it a Wharncliffe. But it cuts like a Wharncliffe.

The blade shape put me off a bit at first, but as I've used it today for little things, it turns out to be a handy shape. I think I like it.

Took this pic just now on the dresser. I'll try to replace it tomorrow with a better one.

I felt like I'd been neglecting this little guy since receiving my stag w/damascus 'nut so, in the watch pocket it went...

The only time this one has left my pocket was yesterday for couple of hours. Went swimming with the kids so I clipped a modern one-hander to my swim trunks. Other than that this has been my steady companion.

like many others i have my blue peanut in my pocket today. the more i use it the more i can see why the peanut is so popular around these forums.
 
I have my KK lockback whittler in pocket and Griffon pearl folder in my mini first aid pouch (bandaides, q-tips, etc) that I keep at work so I dont have to go in the office if I nick myself on swarf.
 
Not quite as traditional as everyone else here, but I've been alternating between this:

And this:

The blades on the Barlow are finally getting to where they are sharp. Man that D2 is a bugger to sharpen. Where as the damascus gets real sharp fast.
 
bout time someone posted some loveless style knives up in here.... Personally I think they are as traditional as they come

Shapleigh Diamond Edge Cattle Knife

This knife has received a lot of pocket time over the years but very little use. Blades are quite full and the springs are still strong as well.

This one today. It's funny how huge this seemed :eek::D after carrying nothing but peanuts the last couple of weeks.

Those are great, Trand. How well does the figure of those compare to the Old Henry (or Ol' Timer) you have?
