I've got two of the 99's Alan and I think you'll find that it may replace anything else you have. It's usually the one I grab when nothing else fits the bill. My ebony is probably my most used. BTW, that one is real "purty".Today: The #99 below is both What Traditional Knife I'm totin AND my latest acquisition.

Some gorgeous carries, as usual!

Always good to see old faces and new, and the daily carryings of so many fine knives, even if I can't read through the multitude of pages that zoop by if I don't read this thread (throughout) every day!
A repost, but this picture captures my ongoing pocketses goodsomes, picked up every morning, excavated from pockets and sheathand placed in this leather catchall at the end of each day. I not only am enjoying these knives, but a certain refreshing dialed-in-ness.

I have a feeling that the Case scout will be getting the majority of my pocket time for a while.

The wind was whipping this 15° morning but the sunrise was incredible! Every time I pop this Blackwood Barlow in my pocket in reminded of how cool a wood Blackwood is. Probably my favorite wood. I still remember seeing my first Ebony and Blackwood knives in person and realizing how rich and densely colored wood could be.

Woke up to 6 degrees F today. "Baby It's Cold Outside!"
Came in from my morning walk and warmed up by the fire. Halfrich Small Rounder with me today.

I'm carrying something new today. A 1974 bone covered Case 6445R scout. I'm most impressed. The walk and talk is exceptional. It's built like a tank in comparison to my Camillus and Queen scouts, and is very comfortable in the hand. Nice and thick. The can opener is actually sharp, and will make a great package opener. The initial edge was beyond horrible, but nothing that a couple of diamond rods couldn't take care of. Overall, it's a real keeper. Case never should have stopped producing these. I've typically come to associate Case with thin delicate feeling knives, which generally don't appeal to me. This is the exact opposite. Robust and tough as nails. A work knife. More GEC-like than modern day Case-like.
