Nice matching pair!
Great knives today, folks!
Have a great weekend!
I think I see a nice tomato and basil salad in my future!
Love that amber dyed stag.

Bob: Way to roll. It's too hot to do much elseRolling very simple and lightweight today with an Alox Apprentice.
very nice @Raymo Welcome!Hello everyone new to the forum. I've been lurking for years. Finally was able to register. I thought I would try to post my first post. This is what I was carrying earlier today.
That's pretty Rachel. Nice photo!Sometimes I buy an inexpensive knife just because it's interesting and unusual and inexpensive. Then sometimes when I've spent my knife budget for the season, I look in the knife box for one I haven't carried in a while and half forgot about. It's almost like getting a new knife. Seriously, this Rough Rider Half-Hawk is a well made knife with smooth tobacco bone slabs. Bigger and heavier than I usually carry, but should be a fine weekend warrior.

That is one of the best RR's I've had
Thanks, I'm really impressed with it, possibly the best $10 knife available. I don't know what the neighbors think when I stalk around the yard looking for a good background, crouch down to take a good picture early in the morning. "She was quiet, but strange." (I've been thinking of getting a scythe to mow my lawn. The neighbor kids already think I'm a witch, so why not lean in to that? )That's pretty Rachel. Nice photo!
Cool knife! I'll bet that polished stag feels nice in the hand.One more Saturday, I repeat my Portuguese!!!
Thanks a lot Tom, I don't recall seeing that pairing before, but it's a nice one
gorgeous couple of knives Tom !! The Northwoods is a real looker with those slanted and pinched bolsters
Nice matching pair!
I don't know what that Northwoods is, but I like!
Amazing knife, Bob! Took me a while to recognize it; my GEC ID skills definitely need some polishing!
Such a dependable pocket toolbox!
Thanks for the accolades, donn! I wish I were a more experienced pruner user. I CAN attest that calling the knife a "monster" is right as rain! Regarding ram's horn, there seem to be at least two types: a greenish, kind of "splintery" type like my pruner, and a browner, often smoother but grooved type. Inner and outer horn, maybe??...
Thanks 5K. May I say that's a fantastic pruner sir. That rams horn looks a lot different than the rams horn that I've seen previously...I think posted by Mr Black? Anyway, a fine looking monster of a knife
Thanks for accepting my little half-whit despite its faults, Dean!Thanks, Gary. That RR is still my favorite even if the sides are mismatched. You can only see one side at a time (unless you admire your knife in the mirror, but who does that!?).
Mark, I think NOT carrying it would be quite a challenge for me! You've got me wanting a Böker like your Barlow!Still carrying this Boker.

Heavenly, healthy (and hot) harvest you're enjoying, Gev! Your knives are nutritious, too!Out of the Garden ( series )

Thanks, Jack. Your two for the road are champions!It wasn't a bad day GT Nice Big Pruner, and it is always good to see your special Peanut

Cool camp knife, Hickory n steel! Are you and your canine companion doing some tent camping? I'm going to post a message on your profile page.
We'll have to agree to disagree on grapes! And climate, too! It's all relative!...
Bisecting a grape lets all the flavor out!
I look forward to winter around here. It's what folks up north would call autumn, and it's our reward for surviving the triple digit summer.
I'm just carrying a wee sleeveboard today.

Admirable ebony spearpoint TC, Ron!! And congrats on your upcoming BF anniversary! It's hard for me to believe that I officially joined a few days before you did; you always seem to me to be a much more knowledgeable and experienced member!
I always enjoy seeing your peanut, Shawn! That's the one you're taking care of for your little girl, right?...
I'm kicking around the house this evening with my ever-present Bermuda Green Peanut and one of my newest knives: this fantastic little JK Knives Bluegill in Osage-over-Blue. ...
Barrett, somehow I saw a little piece of your catalog spreadsheet and remember naively thinking, "Wait! You can put photos in a spreadsheet?? "...
Thanks, GT. I'm prepared to be stigmatized for my stockman spreadsheet (but I hope they don't find out about the one I use to catalogue my knife collection; it puts that one to shame!)
I would have never noticed the difference between the pen blades on the Texas Jack and Medium Jack, but the one on the Medium Jack does look smaller. Well observed!
Just a humble Opinel (No. 7) for me today.
Holy cow, that's a stunning knife, FR!
Heck of a consolation knife, Alan!!While I wait for the 66 stag stockman I'll console myself with one less blade.

I hope you have a splendid visit, Ron! With that pair of knives, you're off to an excellent start!
OK, I like ketchup on fries and salsa on chips, but I shouldn't be eating either of those delicacies. Unfortunately, my self-control related to buying knives is much better than my self-control about eating junk food!Thanks Gary!
Ketchup & Salsa?
Congrats on the classic Case Barlow, rockman!Just got this one in the mail Thursday. ...
Good to hear you're impressed with the RR Half Hawk, Rachel! It's one of my favorite knives. I first got one in a trade with LastRodeo, and even though I liked it immensely, I ended up sending it to TsarBomba because he was trying to get a complete set of tobacco bone RRs. I bought a replacement when they became available again, and I like it even better because of its unusually dark covers.Thanks, I'm really impressed with it, possibly the best $10 knife available.

Excellent, Bob! That model has been on my "watch list" since I first heard that such a thing once existed, but I'm not a very efficient or successful searcher. Do you have a chisel grind on that "electrician's blade"?Rolling very simple and lightweight today with an Alox Apprentice.

Your weekend pair rocks, Jeff!My usual weekend pair, as of late.
Welcome, Raymo! Phenomenal knife!Hello everyone new to the forum. I've been lurking for years. ...
The jigging is sheer jubilation! The reflection of the coined liners in the blade is spooky-cool! Decadent Davison, Alan!...

One more Saturday, I'll express my admiration for that Portuguese knife, Pt-Luso!One more Saturday, I repeat my Portuguese!!!
Congrats, Buzz! I'm green with envy!A Hemlock "Green" #66 appeared in my mailbox this morning.

Great! Free is always goodThanks guys! If I am correct it is a Norhwoods Gunstock Jack made by Queen, that KSF offered for free with a certain purchase amount (I was ordering a Wicked Edge sharpening system at the time). These were factory seconds I think, with CPM154 blade steel, which explains why there is no pitting issues after sitting in a desk for over a year .
