Looks like a nice day to be on the trail Dean, great knife to pocket as well:thumbup:

This came in the mail today and I really like it. Will pair it with the blue Workhorse like Paul's carrying today for my carry tomorrow

Thanks, Paul! We had a good day.

I like the look of that Robeson Barlow! I tried to think of the right word to describe it and came up with "refined." :thumbup:

Definitely a Trail Commander, Dean!

This Sanrenmu is on my keys this week. Its packaging promises great things, I think.

Thanks, Gary. How big is your Sanrenmu?

Looking good Dean :thumbup:
I probably look a bit like a Halloween character today, so I might as well choose suitable knives! I'm off to get a shave, and then stagger off to try and get my strength back with a healthy vitamin-laden lunch Thanks for all your concerns while I've been ill, it's been very kind of everyone :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack! Your Davison is a treasure obviously, but that Orange Farm & Field is a standout! Looks like you are prepared for the day. Glad to hear you are feeling better, too.

From the type of can opener, that looks like a rather old scout, Buzz. Who manufactured it? Gorgeous bone, by the way.

A fine photograph of the beauty Dean! Spanning the chasm. Thanks for your kind words!

Thanks, Gev. My hiking friend had the idea. He has absolutely no interest in my knife photography fetish, but he has recommended several of my outdoor photo compositions - go figure.

Thanks Dean. I hope you and your lovely TC had a nice hike!

Thanks, Greg, and we did.


I decided to go black and silver today.

Finally got around to sharpening this one last night so it's in the pocket today

It's an old Camillus Engineer's Knife. Various manufacturer's made a ton of them for the US military during WW2. This one was likely manufactured for The Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer). I was lucky enough to find one with a full blade and scales that were in great condition. The fit and finish is close to what GEC is producing today. Quite amazing when you consider how many of these knives were being produced daily at the time of manufacture.

Great pic Greg! You have got to post that one in the Lambsfoot thread my friend :thumbup:

Thanks a lot Dean, the F & F was a gift from Meako (a few years back) That's a great-looking combination :thumbup:

Nice knife :thumbup:

LOL! You already did! Thanks my friend! :thumbup:

Today I have two very similar knives with me a Schrade 33OT and a Case 62007. Two little Jack knives both made in the 80's both about 3 1/4" closed, both have Delrin covers, both are razor sharp and both are up to any cutting task I may present to them. I know that in these days of modern folders 6" or more closed with Reinforced carbon–carbon (RCC) scales (the stuff they put on the nose of the space shuttle) Titanium frames and very complex metallurgy super steel of the day many would scoff at my little knives. But these little guy's truly are all I need and man they sure do look good too.

Toting this beautiful workhorse again

Good looking knife, and functional too! Would be even better with secondary blade as spear

 

[HeathH]

The red just keeps getting redder and redder on this one

 

[Bugdoc]

Thanks for the compliment on the Northfield Barlow, Harry. I carry it everywhere with me in my backpack, but I haven't actually used it yet! Not quite sure how to act with a knife that's so different from what I'm used to.

Gary, Intriguing that you don't know how to act with a folder! I'm drawn to the Barlow, esp. two blade patterns, whose two blades are so different and useful. Pull 'er out and get cuttin'!

How long have you been carrying that? It looks nice and pocket worn.

I got it in the summer of 2014, it's probably been with me about 60% of the time since then. Due to the nature of the jigging, it's been used a as a worry stone quite a bit. A lot of cutting too, it's lost a bit of blade at this point, although these days I mostly maintain it on the strop. Still tight with no wobble, but the corners on the half stop have rounded over a bit.

Great knife :thumbup:

 

[Dadpool]

One week in, still totin' the heck out of this 77 Barlow!

 

[black mamba]

I've had this one for a while, but haven't shown it before. I generally prefer jigged bone to smooth, but when the colors pop like on this 1993 Fight'n Rooster, then smooth is in. Beautiful and consistent gradient from light edges to dark center on both sides. Mint except for a little speckling of patina along the spines.

Thanks my friend, I think I may have jinxed myself by remarking last week that I had been lucky to escape it so far. It seems to be very common here these days. My girlfiend is a college lecturer - and a germ magnet!

Jack, don't blame your better half. This virus spreads like wildfire. It's the reason I don't step foot on a cruise ship. Fascinating too the way it goes as fast as it comes on. Last time I had it I was down for a day, and shoveling snow the next.:thumbup:

 

[Playboyjoe Joe]

Found a problem on the main blade. Have seen it before.
A fold over for want of a better term.
But it'll slice paper like a pro now!

Great knives everyone!

It's been a couple of days since posting.

I carried these two today. A GEC 55 and a Vic Soldier.

Have a good one!

You sure have an eye for the finests rooster, Jeff! Wondrous she is in green :thumbup:
