That is an extremely good-looking Böker Barlow, Tom!

Thanks for the follow-up, Kevin. I think a lot of makers sell a lot of those small toothpicks!
IMHO, your mom's affinity for a Vic Minichamp shows excellent taste, since I carry one every day (used the pen to take notes on the sermon in church this morning

). I hope I'll recognize when the ravages of age make it unsafe for me to mess around with pocket knives!
I know they're meant to be hard use work knives, but I've always thought the black covers and silver bolster made that TL-29 model one of the most elegant-looking knives!

Thanks for the Colt canoe comment and for the pic of your 2-blade Hay'n Helper, Ron!

That chestnut jigged Texas jack is a fantastic pick-up for you!

Congrats on the big new Queen stockman, Dylan!


Cory is a quality man; I miss having him around more often and hearing his usually unique and thoughtful take on issues discussed on The Porch.
Thanks, Dee!

Thanks, Mark; we've rented the same little cottage for a week or two for 27 straight years, I think, so we must enjoy it!
Very appealing mid-lock olive wood knife, Pt-Luso!


Congrats on the fine old garage sale Case whittler!

W, Ron!!


Soup's on, and it looks HOT!!

Why YOU of all people, Jack, having such ongoing tech issues??

Great photos today, but something about that photo of the buffalo Wright seems very noteworthy to me!!

George gets more handsome as he ages!!

I really like that black and blue pairing, Tom!

Here are knives I pocket-carried 2 weeks ago that have served on kitchen duty for the past 7 days.
