Well done Tom!

[Lostball]

Good morning everyone. First post in this section. Hope that I can contribute more in the future. Carrying this 71 Micarta Bullnose today in a slip H&T made special for this knife. I thought it came out great, it actually "Snicks" (?) into place just like a gun in a leather holster. Hope everyone has a blessed week!!!

 

[5K Qs]

Using my newest, this Northfield 66 with beautiful dark stag. Sharp as it's possible to be from the factory. Just a pleasure in the hand and to the eye.

Amazing stag, picturerock!!

Bonus pic of a big-league knife, deltaboy; thanks!

...I like your lanyard. Will you make me one

Thanks, Alan! I'll keep your request in mind, but I have to improve my technique a little and work on consistency first. What knife do you need a lanyard for? Lanyard color(s) and material?

...
I keep meaning to pick on of those up, because the "Wild Boar" engraving (particularly the one in the middle) looks an awful lot like an Arkansas Razorback.

...

Valid observation, Barrett; you definitely need one of the boar Opinels!

Still usin' these two, they've been in my pocket since I took a pic of them last week. They feel so nice, I love the Chestnut bone, it's like a worry stone in my pocket. I thinned out the Wharncliffe blade and it'll split hairs.

Couple of Case chestnut jigged champs right there, Ted!!

Outstanding toothpick you have there GT.

Lovingly walking around with this one I found in my mail today, a day early:

Thanks, Tom. Congrats on that is a dazzling, desirable Eric's Jack!!!

Simple, Sunny, Saturday sums it up for me!

Marvelous mellow yellow, Ron!

Morning coffee with a trio of friends. Going to have to switch up my carries soon, I fear. Or risk inviting the boredom of my fellow porch inhabitants..... I'll get around to it someday

That wooden pair is exquisite, Dylan! I can see why you're standing pat with your current carries!

These today :
...Always carried in a Slip too

Fabulous stag pair, Harry!!

Lol. Nice GT and thank you! If I wait until he is 40 I'll be pushing 80, so may I'll just give him a couple more years . Fantastic foursome you have there!

For me today:

Thanks, Tom. Grand photo of cream on the rocks!!

It's a Lambsfoot kinda day.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Great to see your horn lambsfoot again, Greg! Any withdrawal symptoms from setting aside your GEC 66?

...
Today my Otter knife got a professional sharpening:

Handsome pic of a high-class knife, Mark!

...
Thank you GT, oustanding knives my friend
...
Just about to hit the hay here, but I wanted to post my carry for the day first Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Thanks, Jack. Terrific trio for you!!

That white Böker is immaculate, TheFort!

A Canal Street 4" stockman in 440C and Sunset bone has been in my pocket today...

You sure have some nice stockman knives, Frank!

Have a great Sunday everyone

Ah, the acclaimed Abbeydale is back!!
Jack, I was looking at knives at an antique shop near my vacation location yesterday, and saw a little fixed blade with sheath that was marked "Tent" and "Sheffield England". The handle contained a photo of a Canadian Mountie identical to one I've seen on Richards folders. I've never seen the Tent brand before; is it related to Richards?

I'm carrying this one in anticipation of the upcoming run of new #25's.View attachment 745808

Travman and Alan, those are magnificent #25s!

Some beauties today !

Carrying this Utica #29 today

Notable old Utica, Steve!

I'm away on vacation this week and next, so my carries are not what my rotation schedule calls for. Instead, I grabbed some knives that earned a vacation , as well as some knives that I've decided are going to be "guinea pigs" as I try to learn how to sharpen with my new DMT Magna-guide system and/or freehand with the DMT diafolds. A couple of the practice knives are a modded Opinel #8 (thanks, Dave) and a new Rough Rider large work Knife/sodbuster:

- GT

 

[BigBiscuit]

Gary, how big is that RR Sodbuster? Looks like it came with a nice edge too.

 

[Whetstone39]

Great pic Jeff

I'm off out for a hike today Carrying these two knives, gifts from two great friends from The Porch, who are lucky enough to be spending some time together I know they're going to be having a fantastic time

2 beauties Jack, you are in good company .

Thanks, Tom. Grand photo of cream on the rocks!!

A great knife deserves to be dressed properly. Bocote and Stag.

 

[Ramrodmb]

These today :


Always carried in a Slip too

Great stag Harry!

Nice Winchester Mark

Thanks Jack!

I have to go back to my current passion, which is one my three Davison customs. I carry these because, why not?

Great pic Alan!

Nice one Marty! I like that 74 a whole lot.

Even tough I'm still recovering from surgery, it feels great to be able to pick a knife each day to drop into my pocket.

Great looking TC Bob! Hope you continue to mend at home!

Thanks Mark. Sitting around watching the rain and waiting for the mailman.

Thanks Mark. A little better every day.

Kevin, Love that whittler. You should clean your keyboard though.

Bob Cleaning? That's a fantastic PATINA built up on that keyboard , really earned Great knives the Black Boxes, I need a few more.

Today, it's a Eureka Moment, no particular reason other that this is a fine pattern from GEC

Regards, Will

Love that knife, Jake. If it was a wharncliff secondary, it would be about perfect.



Nice whittler! The patina on the keyboard is more ingrained than on the knife though lol

Note to self; go out today and bury my keyboard in the backyard for a year.
Great jigging on the Eureka Will.

No Bob, that's forcing and cheating...patience!

Thanks my friend, it's a favourite of mine, simple unadorned Tidioute and all steel

A year in my backyard is not patient enough?
Kevin, how long have you been working on that natural pateener?

Saw that on The Walking Dead.

It took me yearrrrrrrrrs to get that patina! I suggest a mix of Pop Tarts, chicken wings and frozen pizza with just a splash of RC Cola to get a similar pateeeener.
Seriously now, that was a keyboard in a trash pile but now you guys have me thinking about a high carbon keyboard...... Hmmm, I can't decide between good ol' 1095 or Hitachi Super Blue.

Will, the Eureka Jack is reeeeeal niiiiiiiice!

I think I am going with the Bullnose today.

Thank you my friend, hope you're having a great vacation Yes, 'Tent' is one of the Richards marks, though I have mainly seen it on tools (as well as knives)

2 beauties Jack, you are in good company .

Thanks a lot Tom, great pairing, and I love your Charlie Mike FB

Welcome LB. That's the coolest Micarta I've seen, a perfect fit with the slip. Has it faded with use or was it like that originally?

RE my Eric's Jack, thanks Alan and GT. As I said a lucky find.

GT, I very much like both of your carries today. 'Rough Rider': what a great name for a hard-working knife! It needs some patina. I suggest "a mix of Pop Tarts, chicken wings and frozen pizza with just a splash of RC Cola."
