Thanks GT. While I could undoubtedly destroy my Utica in the Vise of Methuselah
, it's one of those that's simply meant to be used, like a good set of wrenches. Fittingly the scales are Delrin. I find I'm drawn to the spear point lately over a clip.
Thanks for the additional Utica info, Tom.
My first knife was a scout with a spear main, and a spearpoint is still my favorite blade. (Clip is quite a ways down my list; I'd probably put drop point and spey ahead of clip, as well as some leaf-shaped European blades I have. Lambsfoot is coming on strong lately, too!
)
1995 Queen built Winchester stockman today.
That Winchester is a winner, Jeff!!
I've carred this Barlow for the last several days. It's an older photo but the knife still looks great!

That's an admirable Ancient, Curtis!!
Another view of the T.A. Davison that has become my daily carry. And why not. It is nearly the perfect pocket knife for me. Medium, consistent, pinch-able pull, great steel, stays super sharp, pretty much bullet proof! ... This one just really works for me. This one is 3 13/16 closed. Just right for my pocket slip with space pen. < Can you tell I like it?
Yes, Alan, I can tell you like it
, and I can certainly see why!!!
THAT one is definitely a pocket-worn Case, Gev!
Is there just a single pin in the shield?
I've never gotten both of them at the same time in this picture.

Congrats on your milestone 2-dog knife photo, Travman!
(That makes me think of the musical ensemble Three Dog Night, who sang "One Is the Loneliest Number", which reminds me of your lone-wolf white dog lurking in your other pics.
)
Older Senator Pen today
That's one of my favorites of yours, oldtymer!
Thanks!
I've always been puzzled by how little respect lady leg knives get here.
But I don't see how
anyone could NOT admire your gorgeous example, Alan!!!
And it's timely, too: when I was a lad, "Drink a Nehi on 4th of July" was pure poetry!
Today is the day to carry this Weidmannsheil ...
Wondrous Weidmannsheil, Pt-Luso!
What is that beast on the shield? Is that a Weidmansheil "trademark"?

Big-league Böker, Kevin!!
Yesterday, today, and for thirty-one tomorrows.
Looking forward to reading about your "marathon", Greg!
...
Thanks GT, nice show of horns
...
I'm lagging behind with this thread, but thinking of all my great friends in the USA
Happy 4th July folks
Thanks, Jack. I was raised on a dairy farm and saw plenty of horns (and the damage they could do until we decided to start dehorning all our livestock), but this is my first encounter with ram's horn.
Thanks, too, for the birthday wishes for the US.
I'm not nearly as enamored of TC Barlows as many of us are and I don't consider them to be "a right of man"
, but that ebony spear/pen you posted is certainly one I'd consider a privilege!!
This one just arrived yesterday. The posted specs didn't raise any alarms; but it's sort of a beast. Overall larger than I anticipated, and it weighed in at 3.5 oz.
Congrats hhmoore!!
Superb stag, stimulating shape, and I really am intrigued by the long curve of the secondary blade's edge!
...
Happy Birthday America!!!
Hope everyone has a great day!!!
Same to you, Ron!
That is a fantastic all-American redbone Case!! Sets off plenty of fireworks for me!
One my last full day of mini-vacation in the Adirondacks, I declare this to be "Mossy Monday", with my Camillus C4....
Because I've been using his Paracord lanyard for something like ten years now, I declare this to be "Tethered Tuesday". ...
You're getting pretty opportunistic with some of your day names, Buzz, and some are a bit of a stretch IMHO, but they're definitely entertaining!!
...
Carrying this City Knife and an orange ALOX pioneer which my girlfriend has dubbed "cute" and absconded. Not sure if I'll get it back or not
.
Tom, if you keep posting pics like that one, I'm going to start calling you Whet Appetite instead of Whetstone!!
That feast should give you the strength to get your orange Pioneer back from that wily woman!
Beautiful 4th in southern Vermont!
Wonderful wood that I'd be thrilled to see again on Wednesday, Dschal!!
