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.

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

Glad you're home and on the mend, Bob; that TC looks like it's a Terrific Companion for a swift recovery!
My RR large linerlock sodbuster is 4 5/8" closed. Like most Rough Riders, it comes with a pretty nice edge from the factory. As a novice sharpener and would-be whittler, I appreciate the relatively wide edge bevel characteristic of most RR blades. If my understanding of the geometry is correct, a wider edge bevel for a given blade thickness indicates a more acute angle, and that's what's recommended for whittling. And the wide edge bevel makes it easier for me to "feel" when I have the correct angle for sharpening; I can usually tell when that wide bevel is solid flat on the stone.

This Craftsman 9494 is one of my favorite interpretations of the Carpenter's /Whittler's Knife pattern typified by the Camillus 72.

Back to your promiscuous ways of different knives fro different days, eh, Greg??

... I dropped this XX Barlow in my pocket just in CASE I needed something opened.

Ravishing red bone Barlow, Ron!

Been carrying this one a whole lot this summer. Hope everyone is doing well!

Jake! Good to see you here! Still carrying captivating customs!!!

Tom, that's a verdant, vivacious Case!!

...
Totin the whittler.

Whiz-bang Winchester whittler, FBC; always a treat to see that one! (Not a keyboard forum - don't know why you're "getting the business" about your photo background! )

What a stately, stylish stockman, Jeff!!

Went through my deep breathing ritual today that I do before moving a TC from safe queen to pocket/use. ...

Think how much better life will be with sunshine in your pocket, Drew!!

...
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

What a pair of magnificent, meaningful knives, Jack! I enjoyed your hiking mug shot in the eponymous thread!

Bob Cleaning? That's a fantastic PATINA built up on that keyboard , really earned ...

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

Regards, Will

You have many admirable knives, Will, but there's something very special about that Eureka!!!

I don't have one, but it's hard for me to resist getting a blue bone Case with the red shield (probably a mini copperhead in my future). Yours is gorgeous, Tom!

Carrying this old O.N.B. barlow today...

That's definitely One Notable Barlow, Atiger!!

...View attachment 746263 ... Carrying this 71 Micarta Bullnose today in a slip H&T made special for this knife. ...

Great looking set-up for your Bull Nose, Lostball!

...
Best of luck with the new shapening system GT; that RR looks like a great user.
...

Thanks on both counts, Tom. I haven't actually used that big RR sodbuster at all, but I have the RR "junior" version, and that's served me admirably! Cool "ebony and very" shot today from you!

The collection as it stands today, minus two that I have ready to sell and a still missing TC Clip from the last run.

Carry the on far right today NF Barlow Nat Micarta

Very impressive, Josh!

A great knife deserves to be dressed properly. Bocote and Stag.View attachment 746282

Phenomenally pulchritudinous pair, Alan!

Scrumptious scrimshaw, Jeff!

...
I think I am going with the Bullnose today.

As usual another drop-dead gorgeous user, FBC! I guess I don't understand blade etches, though. It seems like on a lot of knives, the etch disappears (or fades significantly) with very little use, but your Bull Nose etch stand outs quite prominently even though you've got a substantial patina going there!

...
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)


...

Thanks for the confirmation, Jack; that tent stamp is pretty cool!
Vacation is a bit less than ideal so far, since my wife had to stay home on Saturday because of a "medical crisis" with one of the dogs. But news was good at a follow-up appointment at the vet this morning, so she's planning to come join our daughter and me tomorrow.

...
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."

Thanks for the kind words, Tom. Your suggestion would hit the spot with my palate, but I doubt if it would have much effect on my stainless RR sodbuster!

Enjoy your vacation, GT!

Thanks, Rachel. That's quite a cultivated, distinguished, elegant duo you've selected!

For this week and next, I'll have this Rough Rider lockback canoe with me

as well as this Uncle Henry medium stockman (thanks, Keith):

GT Most kind, thank you. Don't know about admirable knives but you are an admirable contributor here.

Thank you very much my friend Yes, I think so too, a shame they didn't use it more Hope it's plain sailing from now on I don't think I've ever seen that model before, certainly noticed the lock anyway

That's the highest scrabble score ever for a pair of traditional knives.

 

[BigBiscuit]

Thanks GT. I like the RR. It's bigger than I like. Perhaps I'll look into the possibility that they make the Soddie Jr size.

 

[zolthar]

Handsome pic of a high-class knife, Mark!

Thanks Gary, have a nice vacation!

 

[zolthar]

I think I am going with the Bullnose today.

Great pic! I think I recognise that plant, it looks like the only plant I managed to keep alive when I was a student and living on myself. All the others died of drought or an overdose of water, but this one survived everything. If the leaves started to hang limp, I knew it needed a bit of water I still have it although sometimes my wife wants to toss it

 

[SVTFreak]

Nice. I'm so on the fence. I'm trying to go more towards customs but I love that red. If it didn't have the pinched bolsters (or just pinched a bit different way), I'd be all over the blood red one.

Thank you Sir. This is my only 66, but could not pass on the Blood Red.

Now both are in the pockets . Shown with some debris from a Family Gathering yesterday
