A successful day with the whip in my pocket

These two got the pocket time today.
Mowed the yard and the 23 was called upon to get some bailing twine out of the mower deck and the Frank Buster
just rode in the pocket. It was a gift to my Dad from my uncle years ago. My Dad gave it to me when my uncle passed away a few years ago. I miss my uncle and it always feels like he is near when this knife is in my pocket.

I am now officially out of pictures of this knife. Need to take some new ones. But, this is my daily now.

Trying once more to get this image to work. Any ideas on what this knife may be.

Very nice Ron

Thank you Jack!

Case Red Bone 06247 from '74. This is one of my favorites!

 

[Buzzbait]

How cool is this? It's got a saw!!!

 

[5K Qs]

Thank you for your kind words my friend I can assure you that those old cutlery hulls definitely did not have windows! I've certainly danced a few work-free jigs in the past GT, but it's a bit different when you're self-employed! I wasn't too worried, but I'd have been grateful for a bit more notice What a great threesome you have there, and it's always a treat to see your lovely Taramundi

Thanks for the detailed reply, Jack, and for the generous praise of the knives I posted.

Thanks Gary, I pick up fruit when it is cheap, and that is quite often. They love fruit, vegetables not so much. People think pigs will eat anything, but the opposite is quite true. The famous, delicious, Iberico pigs of Spain, very nice marbling and soft fat from the acorn, quite expensive in this country and hard to obtain. Mangalitsa's are as good as Iberico's, and many chef's think they are better. The Puma works great because they won't eat the rind, so I shave it off in the pen. I finish the pigs to be eaten on only field peas and wheat. Enjoy your day.

Kind of fascinating to hear someone who is very enthusiastic about a topic explaining some of the details! Sounds like you have global knowledge of pigs, Kris!!

My dad actually made it as a kid back in the 60's.

Thanks for the follow-up, Hickory n steel. Tell your dad I think it's a cool wallet!

Splendid photo, Gev! That superb Case has quite a fine point on it!!

#66 calf roper with me today from the current run....The ebony/tidioute combo really makes for a nice carry for both the office and field. The 3 diverse blades riding on two springs really hits the sweet spot for length (3.5" closed), width (7/16"), and versatility. I still prefer single blade but this calf roper is slowly changing my mind.
...

Nice stockman, 007hunter! Your preference is sort of the opposite of mine: I prefer at least 2 blades, but I've somehow acquired a number of 1-blade knives, and usually when I use them, I conclude that they're really not at all bad knives.

After reading the "Too "Snooty" for an economy sodbuster?" thread yesterday I was compelled to put " Junior" in my pocket today.

That's a fine-looking blue SBJr, Randy!

Thanks GT! Like r8shell said, it's what keeps me stopping and asking at every yard sale I come across.
Nice Joker! I always like the look of Olive wood and the blade shape looks just right.

Thanks, Mark. As I noted to 007hunter above, I don't think of myself as a "natural" single-blade fan, but that Joker is definitely one of my favorite 1-bladed knives!

Carrying this new to me knife today. This knife represents a lot of "firsts" for me:...
It will likely become one of my favorite knives to carry, I am so impressed with it. It also most certainly will make me give older Case knives a closer look in the future.

Every time I see that Case pattern, I'm impressed! Congrats on racking up so many firsts with a superb specimen, Dylan!

Weeks beach vacation. ...
This, and a bottle of rum, is all I need for a week on the beach.
...

Have a great week at the beach, Joey! Kids there too??

Nice! I love the older Soldiers, especially with the hollow rivet. I've got a couple old Wenger Soldats, oldest is an 89.

Nice piece!

Thanks, sticktodrum. I call it my spy knife in honor of the TV spy from the 1960s, Maxwell Smart, Agent 86.

I'm a broken record.
...

But you're an admirably-committed human being!

...

Lot of contrasts in that pair, Jack! The background of the lambsfoot photo make me think summer in the English countryside could be quite idyllic!

Probably my favorite example of my favorite pattern. Case XX 3254

I'll bet you're not the only one for whom a yeller Case trapper is their favorite; what a classic! I enjoy looking at trappers, but for some reason, I'm not very fond of carrying and using the full-size version.

lol no I didn't use the farmer saw on the trees, but I find them very handy for getting into plastic packaging. A bow saw was a more efficient choice than a SAK I'm sure . ...

Terrific trio GT!
...

...

Thanks noting my trio, Tom. That Premium Scout is, umm, premium!!

...

Sensational, stylish sleeveboard, Ron! Thanks in large part to the influence of your thread about single spring patterns with blades at each end, I've become quite a fan of those pen knives and double-ended jack!

...
First time I noticed the 'GT' on your Joker blade: patina?
...
Have my Douk Douk on a longish lanyard looped around my belt: ...

Good eye, Tom! I did a little experiment with the Joker quite a while ago to see if I could use mustard to monogram the blade. The answer is yes, but now I should Flitz off the current patina and do it over more carefully.
That's not the standard exotic Douk-Douk clip blade, is it? Where did you get yours? Is it a spearpoint? What Leinie flavor are you working on? I'm not a big fan of most of their current summer brews. I like fruit and fruit juice, and I like beer, but I rarely like them together.

...
Great Soldier there, GT. I'm getting back to basics, carrying the civilian equivalent today, the Pioneer. What a great knife.

And this one:

Thanks, Chin. Your Pioneer is top-notch, and is the lambsfoot relatively new to you?

...

Very nice, Atiger! I'm trying to figure out the photos. Does the knife have two-tone covers (black and tan)? Or is the "tan" I'm seeing the liners?

Captivating couple of knives, Alan. If this is a popularity/beauty contest, I vote for the stunning stag WLST!!

Another first-rate photo, FBC!

Today I carry in my pocket a GEC # 83 with Stag covers !!!

You are a fortunate man, Pt-Luso!

Love this Davison every time you show it. Definitely take more pics!

Whew, it's hard keeping up with this thread sometimes! Nice knives, everyone!
I've got a little Case Whittler: '80s vintage, I believe.

GT, I got my DD on the exchange. It is a sheepsfoot, purchased in France. Your eyes aren't half bad either spotting that in a closed knife.

I agree about fruit flavored beers generally being too fruity. On the other hand a tall cold Weissbier with lemon hits the spot on a hot summer day like little else. Lienie Summer Shandy is that way. (Have one in hand at the moment.) Last night was a Lienie Anniversary Lager.

IMO, leave the GT on the Joker. It's subtle.

I carried my Radio Jack in Wisco last week. Popped a cap on a few Spotted Cow. Thought of taking a photo, but getting up from my lawn chair required more ambition than I could muster.
