Fantastic stag, Alan; I especially like that toasty 25! "Control the flash" sounds like a good New Year's resolution for me.Thanks for the pick me up Gary. There is a vast difference between flash and natural light, although I can control the flash day or night, sun or overcast.
Not sure it's feasible with my little point&shoot camera; still think my best bet for indoor knife photos is some kind of "lightbox".Thanks, TheFactor.
(I actually had at least 3 Rough Riders in that post; which one stunned you??)FBC, that's a sight for sore eyes! For some reason, I don't much like carrying trappers, but I sure like looking at them.
Thanks, Jack. Isn't there a Psalm in the Bible about knives that go down to the sea in ships?Thanks GT, they certainly proved useful
...
Ushering out 2016 in style, Dean!!...
For some reason, I was inspired to carry two Ebony knives today.
That is a notable pair, mitch!! (You should post them in the Notable Pairs thread.) The I*XL sure grabbed my attention.A couple of feet today, one old, one new.
Those are a couple of wonderful pairs to close out 2016, Dee!! You're a wise man!
Hypnotic stag on your 74, Jeff!Thanks, Alan, I think I'm in love!
Three fine-looking knives, Will! What models are the top and bottom ones?...
With all these cults knocking about here, we need a SECTThe Slim Sect. ...
Regards for New Year to all who dwell here,
Will
That looked good while it lasted, Ironbut! The green bone always reminds me of an old Remington folder that I can't quite recall details for!It'll be this one again today, but that may change, because USPS tracking says there's a Peach Seed TC going to be in my mailbox today.
Superb saw shield, tdaddy!
It's a special occasion, XL carry for me today/tonight. Thanks everybody for teaching me many things I never knew about knives this year.
...
High-class trial, Alan, and that teardrop is dripping with flash AND class!I'll carry these two today.
But, I think I'll need some flash to ring in the New Year!
I've heard that tomato soup is good for what ails someone, Bob; seeing your red soup TC is making me feel better!
Happy New Knife, John; the stag on your Northwoods is outstanding!Today I'm carrying this. My first Northwoods.
...
Ken, I hope it's "this is fun" busy and not "this is gonna kill me" busy! Terrific twosome there; that Forum Barlow is very distinctive, and I like Vic's sheepsfoot (that's the second blade on the Pioneer Apprentics, right?)....
I'm still busy and not posting much but do manage to pop in once and a while.
These are my two for today. A Forum Barlow and a Vic Pioneer Apprentice.
Have a great New Year! Stay Safe!

Rick, just give it a try and keep trying. I've found that nobody makes fun of you here if you're photos stink (first hand experience!), and you eventually learn stuff that allows you to take better pics. Here's the first pic I posted here, of the first knife I had as a kid:
Here's the latest pic of that same knife, about 2.5 years later. I think you'll agree I'm getting better at it.
Congrats on the peachseed jigged TC, Ironbut! Way to end the year with a bang!The mail person just delivered this one! (Like we really need another pic of a peach seed Barlow
That's a model that I have to try out! Yours is very appealing, Daniel!Half Congress today. I hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year's!
I don't think it tarnishes your rep at all, Clay, and I think it really enhances your daughter's reputation! She picked such a dreamy knife for you!!Well this will destroy my reputation but...no Buck 303 today. Still running a med stockman though!
Clay
Including yours, Chip! That's a jaw-dropping trio!A lot of good looking knives posted today
For me, it's the EDC Ohta whittler and a couple others to cover the bases (A.G. Russell peanut in Mammoth, ADV Pocket Butcher in Birch)
~Chip
Couple of charismatic crimson cutters, JSCHENK!! (And black Chuck Taylor's too? You're stylin', sir!)
...
Very fitting knife choice, Dean! Thanks for the New Year wishes, and same to you!...
I'm ending the year by carrying my Knife of 2016 - a Blood Red Jig Bone TC from 2014. This one ended up in my pocket the most this year.
...
Happy New Year and may your Traditional dreams for 2017 come true!
(And thanks for the reminder; I still need to post my Knife of 2016.)
I'd say 2016 has been a great year for you, cutlery-wise!!
Same to you, Shawn! Looks like you're kicking the year off in style for sure with that high-quality quartet!...
I'll have a quartet with me tonight for 2017s big premier. If I'm having stemware in my hands, I have to make an effort to have some classy knives around! Case Peanut, GEC 14 TC in Black Cherry, Case Teardrop in Ebony, and GEC 83 in Ebony.
Happy (and safe) New Year, everyone!
It's the week-end, so I'm allowed to abandon my rotation schedule for a couple of days. Today and tomorrow I'm carrying the knives I ordered on Black Friday. In mid-December, my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday and/or Christmas (both in December), and I suggested she give me some of the knives for my birthday, some for Christmas, and maybe make a pot of chili sometime. I'll show my birthday knives today.
My first dock-douk:
A Marbles scout/demo knife:
A Rough Rider marlin spike:
A sweet little Rough Rider whittler that someone here recommended (I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember who; if you have one, and like it, please let me know, and I'll thank you!):
And a Spanish knife that my daughter gave me:
Hope every one has a blessed 2017!

Glenn re-handled it for me but unfortunately, it has subsequently developed a big crack out of the blue round the centre pin.
The bottom knife is a 66 Slim in Red Sawn Bone that I gave to an in Slovenia just before Christmas. The 66 Slim is a very nice no rub single spring 2 blade which is the sort I favour over Jacks.
