Easter weekend. Time to carry one of my Davisons'

 

[HST]

Had this in my pocket almost every day for the last month or so.

I love it when a knife makes me feel that way. I also think it takes time to know a knife well. I carry everything for a week straight, for the first time. Superb knife, I like it a lot.

Always king it, D. I like your red bone MJ yesterday as well. I love and have all cover of MJs.

I am carrying my new "Summertime71" today. I ignored this pattern for so long, but I love it now. I think the #71 is such a useful knife - profile, handles, size, blade shape, W&T, & price-point - for a pocket knife. Notice the flush half-stop - so nicely done. Moreover, it is one heck of a slicer; I really like the #71, from GEC.

r8shell, took out the old Graeff & Schmidt, thought you'd like this one.

If you look close yo can see the remnants of the whit latex paint this thing was covered in. I was so bad I couldn't even discern the pattern till I cleaned it and opened it up. I left that little bit of paint in there as a reminder of how bad it was and how much work went into rescuin' the knife. Also because I couldn't get it out without riskin' the bone scale so I just left it.

I love it! Especially the thick, rounded bone covers.

Today I have been Totin this new to me Winchester Stockman.

 

[5K Qs]

GT, I'm not much on whittlers (which is odd as I like stockmans a lot!) but that's a nice one! I'd sport that!

Yes sir. We are figuring him out. He eats. A lot. Mom can make enough so now that we know to supplement a bit, he seems to be doing better. Thank you!

That would be one wacky tan line! I realllllllly like that whittler! :thumbup:

I went with a whittler today too.

inspired by GuestWho's beautiful 79's posted as of late.

Thanks for the kind remarks about the whittler I posted back before everything changed!
Joey, I'm glad you all are helping to make the new kid on the block feel welcome.
FBC, your whittler is much more heavy-duty than mine - nice!
Paul Hilborn, thanks for your whittler comment, too; somehow it didn't get included as I intended. (I'm afraid it's going to take me a while to get used to the way the new website works. )

Today again I carry my "Portuguesa", a different and basic knife, but I like it very much and easy to handle, in whole stag horn!!!

Pt-Luso, it's good to see this knife again! What does the "art" on the blade represent?

I'm overjoyed and very lucky to be able to carry this fine Winchester Teardrop/Candle-End from 1987. All due to the kindness and altruism of Merry Mad Monk who sent it to me all the way from the USA as a present. Thank you Al it cheered me up during a tough stretch and makes Easter all the better.:thumbup:

Regards, Will

Today I have been Totin this new to me Winchester Stockman.

Will and Ron, congrats on those superb black box Winchesters that have come into your hands! Classic stockman, Ron! Will, that's a generous gift from MMM! Is that model #2857? I also received that as a gift (thanks, Paul), and have seen it referred to as a teardrop jack, bullet jack, and dogleg jack; now you've added "candle-end" to my lexicon! Do you know where that name comes from? Here's a photo of mine:

Thank you, Gary! Yes, the magnifier on yours is the older one (and some folks say it's better than the current one).
...
Great minds and great knives, Ron!
...
I'm carrying the Chestnut 15 again with a different alox Vic than pictured today.

Thanks for the Vic magnifier info, Dean. With regard to "great minds", I think the same day you and Ron carried ebony TCs, you and I carried red Cadets! Nice couple of knives you have in this photo from whenever it was!

Nice!

I acctually just got my hands on my birthyear stamped alox Soldier (85) in mint condition, its a safequeen for now Got help from a fellow alox collector in the US to secure the deal and ship it out to Sweden. Pictured below with my 85 stamped Vic Dutch Army Knife.

VERY Nice! Do you think it would be hard to find them with a "51"?

For Easter Sunday service I pulled out Old Reliable.

That's a phenomenal "church knife", Jeff!

Picked up a SAK for scoring bread.

Worked pretty well.

Cool knife, warm bread - MMMM!

Here are a couple of knives I carried this week (actually last week, I suppose) that I hadn't displayed before BF went on a brief hiatus.
In my watch pocket were the scrimshaw Rough Rider small stockman (thanks, r8shell) and a Robt. Klaas small canoe:

In my "bus pass pouch" was a Case chestnut bone CV SBJ (thanks, Paul):

Two of the handiest items in the world, a knife and a handkerchief, pair nicely with a good mystery novel.
Happy Easter to everyone on Bladeforums and nice knives to everyone as well! I hope you all had as good a day as I did. If you got to spend some time with family and friends while enjoying some delicious food then I'm happy for you. Also you got to carry some nice knives from what I see posted here, so that's a plus!
