What a wonderful knife and photo !! Now that's a fine cave indeed !!It's 91 outside and since I don't have to go anywhere, I'm not. AC is on, ceiling fans are running and I'm hanging out in my cave with my Trapper in my pocket.
Stay cool folks!

Thanks Gev. I always appreciate your thoughtful posts. I've got one room in our house that I can call my own. My better half has the rest! Works for me.
Great pic Jack, gorgeous handles and love the background
Some green ALOX for me today.
Thanks Tom, that's some great-looking green
Thanks @Whetstone39, appreciate that. It's actually a video link. I wish it played as folks scrolled by

I Hope you find your knife, W.M.B. That good lookin Sodbuster should handle any cutting duties until the Cat turns up.
so, one of the practical upsides to posting in this thread is that when you lose a knife, you have a record of the last time you carried it. I know I had my cat on Friday after work.

GT, that's really quite touching!The more I use that knife, Randy, the more I like it!
Can't make out what that one is but the blue has piqued my interest.
Good luck finding it. I'm feeling something similar today, having lost a wrist watch (think I left it at the gymso, one of the practical upsides to posting in this thread is that when you lose a knife, you have a record of the last time you carried it. I know I had my cat on Friday after work.
)H/F I'll get a pic of my NW up soon. Problem is that it is easier to do multi-thread responses on my tablet but pics are on my phone (first world problems....).Tom, It's rough on an old man to stay up late like that, especially with the eventual outcome such as it was!I still enjoyed watching the playoffs! Don't be shy with that big Blue Barlow!
Spurred on by a recent post (Ted I think) I did a point-ectomy last night on the slightly proud tip of my user 73 cocobolo. Started with a diamond file, then fine whetstone, and finally Flitz on a Dremel buffing cylinder. Turned out great.
Thanks for all the other great knives folks!

That's pretty cool Buzz!A.G. Russell Premium Scout today, in 154CM stainless steel.
A 1965-1969 CASE #6232 in AWESOME CASE redbone. Solid blades, both centered in the wells. I'm amazed at how so many remain so well preserved
Paul, I totally agree with you. There are still a lot of these beautiful knifes to be had for very fair prices! Your TJ is an awesome knife my friend. A pattern I believe we share a fondness for!
Nate, your Totin some mighty fine examples there today. Both are very desirable and very beautiful knives!
Tom a little patina won't hurt that Big Beautiful Blue Barlow at all!!
An Ebony TC Barlow for me today!

That Cadet in basic black is a peach, Dean.Vic Cadet in black.
(I have a black Pioneer and a red Cadet; I ought to get each of them color-matched partners - a black Cadet and a red Pioneer or Farmer. )Those are funky blue handles on your high, Jak3!
Thanks for the info, Tom, and for the compliment on my first knife ever.Thanks GT! I'd be a little embarrassed to share pics of the light tent, as it is a rather plebeian effort. It consists entirely of a cardboard box, paper towels, and a $5 LED light
Not a lot of cons, it took maybe 5 minutes to make it. Pros: softens the light so no harsh glare, it is repeatable, negates any reflections you don't want, and I think it will be fun to experiment with different materials to place under the knives. Send me a PM (or anyone else) if you're interested and I'll get some photos for you.
Great Colonial
...
I'll probably send you a PM request soon for some pics of your light tent. During the summer, I can do OK with taking my photos outside (although I'm apparently unable to control reflections ). But I'm always looking for a set-up that will allow me to take decent indoor shots during the winter.Incredible knife, Paul!!A 1965-1969 CASE #6232 in AWESOME CASE redbone.

(I'm amazed that you think there are so many good specimens "out there" for the finding! )Brett, I'm enjoying (in several threads) what I think are vacation shots from you!A little cornhole w/ my sister and brother in law at the Sierra Nevada brewery in Mills River, NC. She beat me bad.
But I gotta tell you, I was somewhat disillusioned to find out there's a Sierra Nevada Brewery in NC - I thought it was pure California Dreaming all the way! That ironwood recover Glenn did is awesome! That's a very distinguished, sleek, slender spearpoint black TC, MJ71!!
Another splendid pairing, Jack!...
Hope you have a great time GT

Three great choices there my friend

Carrying these two today, Arthur Wright Lambsfoot and a TEW Penknife.The background to the Lambsfoot shows the weir of Sheffield's famous Mousehole Forge
Thanks for the kind words about my knives and vacation anticipation! W.M.B., I hope you can find your lost Black Cat soon!... so, one of the practical upsides to posting in this thread is that when you lose a knife, you have a record of the last time you carried it. I know I had my cat on Friday after work.
That's a nice looking sodbuster!
My eyes aren't anywhere near what they used to be (and I got glasses in first grade 
), but is the shield "German Bull"?I admire the variety of Alox you have, Tom!...
Some green ALOX for me today.
I read (and sympathize with, to a certain extent) your rant about carbon steel, but your bold-faced "stainless steel" made me laugh, Buzz!A.G. Russell Premium Scout today, in 154CM stainless steel.
That Russell Premium Scout sure is a beauty, though. Is that model a bit shorter than a "standard" scout?Sounds good, Gary!
I'm hoping to get a room for me when I retire!! 
Couple of classic and classy knives, Nate!
Striking Twin Charlows, Dee!(2) - Arms for TC Tuesday.
(Fraternal twins, rather than identical, I suppose.)Thanks, Tom; there were several folks here doing something similar!GT, that's really quite touching!

Superb photo!
You carry a lot of steel in that knife! My Canoe of the Week is an amber jigged bone Rough Rider, the first canoe I ever had:
My Stockman of the Week is a Case chestnut jigged bone CV Sowbelly (thanks, Ron), shown here with the "matching" Sodbuster Jr I always carry (thanks, Bob):
