Two of my most used, appropriately black and blue :). Sorry for the dirty blade on the city knife, I need to give it a good scrubbing.


 
Thanks Dean!

So what you're saying is....... I should get one, right? :D

Splendid carry. :thumbup:

Thank you, Dee, and yes you should get one. :) You probably need a break from all the 66s you've been getting. :D:thumbup:


Upon gauging the abundance of straight blades in my chosen carry...

... I deemed it wise to supplement:

:D

~ P.

The perfect supplement, actually - that is just perfect and the dream of many. :thumbup::thumbup:


My new "Old Red" on this fine Thursday. Have a great day, everyone!

Top drawer old Vic you have there, TK!


Old York barlow - never wild about one-arm blades but I like the caramel-colored bone handles.

Thank you so much for showing us another rare Barlow, Atiger! Do you have any idea of a date range for that one?

Looks good, itzig. How is that new GEC slip working out for you? I've been thinking about getting one.


I'm carrying my perfectly balanced I*XL Barlow today.

 
My trusty 81 again with a new to me robeson.

Captivating pair of aces, Chunk91; that Pocketeze is especially appealing!

Today is going to be a Caseday.

Compelling pair of Cases, Alan; that humpback is especially alluring!

Very nice examples today, everyone! I'm toting my ebony single spear 15 for wooden Wednesday. Cheers!

IMG_20170301_091615.jpg
Elegant ebony, Daniel; that endcap adds a distinctive touch!

Sticking with the Camillus C4 today.

Buzz, I sure admire your troop of scout knives, and that C4 must be the Leader!

Wooden Wednesday . Great Eastern 74 Chestnut , HSB&Co Cocobolo ?? , and Cattaraugus Ebony ?? and , as you requested GevoSWMBO's marbles
...


Harry
A myriad of marbles in the woods! Very cool, Harry!

Thanks GT! The new stable mate is an Ian van Reeenen in carbon fiber, should be here tomorrow. Great pics of the SAKs; I am new to the Tinker believe it or not, purchased a black version about a month ago. I am quickly becoming a HUGE fan, so much utility and so easily pocketed.
...
Haven't carried this Winchester scout in a long time.

Thanks, Tom; looking forward to pics of your carbon fiber LC. Good to hear you're enjoying the Tinker, the Vics may not match the form of your traditional camp knife like your Winchester (French ivory covers on that beauty??), but I think they exceed the function. I really like having the pen blade and philips driver on the Tinker.

...
I must confess that it's an old pic, but taken at almost exactly this time of year :) Nice Red 'n' Black :) :thumbup:
...
Thanks for the photo info and the compliment, Jack.

...
Thanks for the kind comments and hopes my cold doesn't last too long; mostly my annual cold lasts seven days, but I'm hoping with proper care that this time it will only be one week.

In reference to your Rough Riders, I'm a staunch supporter of everyone carrying and buying what they like. Gary Graley had one of the RR Diamond Jim sowbellys that he liked and he also took some fantastic photos of it.

Speaking of what one likes: you can't go wrong with a Simmons Keen Kutter, and cocobolo to boot. :thumbup:


Today, I'm "totin'" my Case Junior Scout. This was an unexpected buy and is an unanticipated pleasure to carry, CF and use.

:D:D I'm afraid your cold (or your medications) is making you delirious, Dean!
Thanks for the kind words about RRs and KKs.
Glad you're enjoying your new junior scout so much! :thumbup:

Out and about. This in pocket.

Back home back in shorts.

One of my better flea market scores.
...
I enjoy seeing your humpback whittler, PBJ Joe! That wavy-handled, tip-bolstered Ulster pen knife is super-cool! And that Klein sheepsfoot is a fabulous flea market find!!! :cool:

I have an early start tomorrow. Going to be carrying these two :thumbup:
...
Champion choices, Jack! The photo of the GEC 85 (I think that's what that teardrop jack is, right?) is magnificent! :thumbup:

There’s gold in them thar hills...millions in it

Venerable knife, Gev! I can recognize your bottle caps, even in their disintegrating state, but I can't figure out what's on the right side of the pic. :confused:

XLnt bone on that I*XL Barlow, Dee! :thumbup:

Gary - Thank you for the compliment my friend! I wish you the best and hope the doctors can solve the issues soon!:) That is a great pair of knives you have from two of the finest from the Porch! :thumbup: Today I decided to carry one of my new Bull Noses. This one is Burlap Micarta! :D

33154939316_8aac736fc9_b_d.jpg
Thanks for the kind words, Ron. Those Bull Noses sure look all-business; congrats on your new ones! I don't have any knives with micarta handles, but seeing examples like your burlap version make me realize the error of my ways!

...
Thanks Gary!
I always enjoy your great perspective on things. :cool: :D

If I had to sum up your carry for this week in two words..... it would be "fancy pants". :thumbup: :)
Thanks for the acknowledgements, Dee. :) "Fancy pants" is a comment I don't hear often as I stroll around in my Good Will wardrobe! :rolleyes:

...
Always love seeing those workhorses :thumbup: Majestic picture :thumbup::thumbup::cool:
...
FBC, that is a serious whittler, and Gev took the words right out of my mouth!

Every time I see that TC Clip Amber Saw Cut, I have to say: Perfection. Thanks for sharing.
...
+ 5K!! I agree with MJ71; fortune has smiled on you, Sarah!! ;)

70 degrees yesterday, 20 today. Same Lloyd in my pocket. Kind of evens things out...

These shadow stags that keep showing up lately are unforgettable! :eek::thumbup:

Hope everyone has a great day! 77 NF Barlow Single Spear and Stag for today:)

30429913894_5c9d50118d_b_d.jpg
And here's some pretty memorable stag with PLENTY of bolster!

On the way!

Congrats, David! That's a fascinating and disorienting photo, with its optical illusion. :eek::confused: I keep seeing a quarter-twist in the blade from tang to tip!?! (I assume the swedge is what's punching my perception.)

I have two with me today My Case Backpocket and a 77 with a single sheepsfoot.

Those are a couple of handsome walkin' around knives, Randy! :thumbup:

My new "Old Red" on this fine Thursday. Have a great day, everyone!

IMG_20170302_090329.jpg
Two of my pioneer Old Cross, one of them dated 1997 ...

f3i9m0.jpg
Those red old cross Vics are SO classic! :thumbup:

3 knives I'm carrying that I don't think I've posted yet this week:
an Otter work knife (overkill, but I enjoyed pulling it out to slice some grapes for my oatmeal this morning)
DXQ2mDP.jpg


a Case Sodbuster Jr that I always carry (thanks, Bob)
m1S17lJ.jpg


and a Rough Rider small stockman (thanks, r8shell) that I also carry every day, and even had the opportunity to show off in a class yesterday when Euler and his Identity happened to come up!

"Looks good, itzig. How is that new GEC slip working out for you? I've been thinking about getting one."

The large size sheath fits the 98 perfect!!!!!!!

Yes, Gary, the cold meds are having an effect on me. For one, I've been super clumsy the last few days and even dropped and shattered my favorite coffee cup!

It's always good to see your special RR stockman. I carry that photo on my phone to show friends in case Euler's Identity comes up at lunchtime. Seriously, I looked that up on Wikipedia - I have even more respect for your intellect now!

"Looks good, itzig. How is that new GEC slip working out for you? I've been thinking about getting one."

Thanks for the reply, istzg. Looks like I'll be ordering one.

Whoa! I see what you mean, Gary. I've been fighting the flu all week, and now I'm having M.C. Escher fever-dreams looking at that knife.

Seriously, thales2015, that's a beauty. :thumbup: I've never seen copper liners before. Are you going to try to keep them shiny or let them patina? I look forward to more pics.
 
You are getting close my friend.:eek::eek: Two more ingredients.....PM me and I will give you the recipe :D

I will email you. my friend. Thanks

Hope everyone has a great day! 77 NF Barlow Single Spear and Stag for today:)

They just keep getting better!


New York Knife Co ebony whittler today

I love it Ernie!! If you have a picture with the blades open I would love to see it :D

Dean
Lots of vitamin C...pound it in to submission.

I'm carrying my perfectly balanced I*XL Barlow today.


Fantastic knife and photo:thumbup:



Gary
Just an old piece of metal I found in the back yard while renovation

Hey old timer. Allow me to interject........that's a #15. Not a 77. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. :D :D :D I know. I wasted mine away years ago. :foot: :D
Nice pair buddy. :cool:
