Totally alluring ancient Barlow, Dean! :thumbsup:

Thank you, Gary.

Once again Dean, great pic of your IXL Barlow :thumbsup:

Thanks once again, Jack!

Too many evening commitments over the past week kept me from spending as much time at BF as I typically do. So I missed about 15 pages in this thread since last Sunday. Here's a feeble effort to catch up by identifying one or two posts per page that caught my fancy.

I'm happy to see your magnificent Presidential again, Dean! :thumbsup::cool:

Thanks, Gary! I've been out of it myself for awhile. I've had a lot going on and find it difficult to keep up with this thread. Such is life.


Gorgeous and superb TC and a fantastic photo, Bob! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
 

Bob, that's a beautiful classic TC my friend! :thumbsup:

Carrying one of the top favorites in my collection. Will never part with this one.

Bret Dowell Backpocket. 4-1/8" closed, acid etched A2 blade and spring.

Jake, it's easy to see why you love your Dowell! It is a beautiful working knife! :)

Just another TEW's day for me



Harry

Happy TEW's day Harry! :thumbsup:

Today I am carrying my #77 NF Barlow again for the second day in a row! :D

I'm sure you guys are getting tired of seeing pictures of it by now, but I'm pretty sure I'm done doing all I'm going to do with it so you shouldn't see any more pics of it for a while.
I normally wouldn't post more pics of a knife as they get carried for a whole week, but it's different than it was the other day so I figured a new pic was warranted;)
 
Thanks GT, your Winchester is outstanding :) :thumbsup:
Thanks, Jack. I carry it when its turn comes around, but I rarely use it and am not sure why not.

Thanks, GT, and your little Marbles is the exact same pattern as my stag RR, very pocket friendly carries.
Thanks, Jeff. An Uncle Henry 897UH is another very similar pattern. The rounded bolsters, almost sunk joints, slender clip, and low-riding sheepsfoot certainly add to the pocket friendliness. Other than sowbellies, I think the medium stockman models we've mentioned are probably my favorites of the pattern.

That pic shows off the incredible symmetry of your stag, Travman! :cool:

I get the no time--between my wife and I being Professors, she also being chair of her dept, and our four kids, time is tight. However--and you are not going to want to hear this--my TAs have the burden of grading exams and papers for me... But when your done, I would have loved to be able to buy you a beer and trade stories, of academia or otherwise. Hang in there, brother!

Anthony
Sounds like you definitely have a busy life, Anthony! :eek: We have only a daughter, grown up now, and I can't imagine now how I found the time to be so involved with her life when she was young. Don't regret a minute of it though! :thumbsup: So 4 kids must definitely keep you hopping! ;)
Trading stories (and a beer) sounds appealing. We work at very different types of institutions (I'm at a 4000-student, 4-year, church-related, liberal arts school), but I'll bet there are plenty of commonalities, too. And the knife thing, of course! :D

Just another TEW's day for me

Very handsome, desirable Twosome, Harry! :thumbsup:

Yes it is, and the piano key covers match the shield on the Buck. ;)
:thumbsup::cool:

These made a delightful pair today and will do so again tomorrow.

Wow, Paul, that Ulster stockman is choice!! :thumbsup:

Thanks, Gary! I've been out of it myself for awhile. I've had a lot going on and find it difficult to keep up with this thread. Such is life.

Glad to see you back, Dean! :thumbsup:

Cool carving on the handle, H&S! :thumbsup: What did you use to "customize" your handle (both carving and finish)?

Needham & IXL :)



Capital couple, Jack. That 2-bladed lambsfoot is grand.
