Dylan I saw this post in the "Just A Picture - Traditional Picture Show" thread and loved it so I hope you don't mind my friend nut I just had to plagiarize your idea. Again I hope you don't mind my friend.

Today I've had this S&M Barlow in my pocket and this Gibson L4-A in my hand.

Lovely carries, as always, Jack. I have to comment every time I see that red soup bone though, I find it rather stunning.



Randy, I'm rather flattered that a photo of mine could inspire you so. Of course I do not mind! A beautiful knife, paired with a most excellent guitar, makes for an exquisite picture. Very, very nice.

I've aspired to own a real Gibson for several years, and perhaps someday it will become a reality. In the meantime though, this Epiphone has served me rather nicely.

Alright, I'll play, too.

Carrying a #15 Crown Lifter today.

 

[RDaneel]

Carrying these two today

I had a little TC on the hike today.

...Carrying these two today

Thanks, Jack, and same to you! I especially like your red buffalo horn lambsfoot!

Old Cattaraugus barlow today...

...
Today felt like a good day to carry #10, sunny and not too rocky.

Atiger, that is one coool Catt!
Dean, your Ulster "10" is A-1!
I admire ALL the fine Barlows both of you gentlemen have!!!

Some synthetics for me today.

Another day of orange and black looks grand, Tom!

Thanks Gary!

"As always" fits that knife well.
How could you not carry it?
...

Thanks, Dee.

The mail arrived and this one went immediately into my pocket for Wooden Whittler Wednesday:

A huge thanks to @r8shell for making my WTB wish come true! It's an honor to take over its care from her.

Kudos on the new-to-you #38 whittler!! I grok that you're grateful and grinning over that great Grinling, Greg!!

Totin' this G. Knauth today. 3 1/8"

Mark & Atiger, I don't think of seen either of these brands before, but I think I'm a double victim of love at first sight! Phenomenal bone on each knife, and that Armstrong tang stamp is awesome!

No problem, Gary. If helping out involves knives and photography, I am all for it.
The background of the second pic is the rear shock / linkage section of a mountain bike... A S-works Enduro.

Went with the Teardrop Jack today.

Thanks for the helpful info, FBC; I'm amazed at what I can learn about so many topics hanging out here!
Dynamite Winchester jack!!

Red bone Medium Jack 6232, perfectly sized for office environment carry.

Can't beat that old red bone.

(this is a 6332)

Small Texas Jack today

Falling_rain, Planterz, and Steve, your Case red bones are ravishing!!

An unusual pair for me today. A 73 in stag along with a little Teal Lakota lockback purchased because of a post a while ago by Gary (Peregrin) if I'm not mistaken.

Unusual, but pragmatic, I'll bet!! (The Mick, Alan??)

View attachment 747657 Just got this in the mail yesterday. My first 15. I think it'll stay in my pocket for quite a while.

Congrats on the superb BSK, MB!!

A. G. Russell canoe (the incandescent lights make the NS bolsters look brassy - was too lazy to go outside for photo).

- Stuart

Stuart, that's a stupendous canoe!!

Well, mail came early!

Brand new Al Warren stockman, 4 1/4" dyed sambar and S30v. Ground super thin! I now think Mr Warren is underrated here.

Congrats, Joey; that looks to be an exceptional knife!!

Currently on family vacation, so I brought along one of my favorite knife families. Here are all the Case chestnut jigged bone CV knives I have right now, in the order in which I acquired them.

Oh yeah Gary, my favorite player of all time. There is no second place. I started watching baseball just as he started his career.

Fantoni Dweller:

Definitely the weirdest knife I've ever used and carried, but it's brilliantly (and cleverly) executed, awesome in the pocket and in-hand... That Bob Loveless guy knew what he was doing I guess, and Fantoni's production quality is very high. I'm going to grind off that stupid finger guard to make the knife's lines more similar to the original Loveless City Knife, but otherwise I'm falling for every part this obscure, quirky little knife:

Wow! That's amazing.

Alright, I'll play, too.

Carrying a #15 Crown Lifter today.

I will bet that a lot of BF members have Martin guitars.

And this

My constant companion for the last two years.

 

[avoidspam]

Wow! That's amazing.

Thanks. His work is quite something. A widely respected maker from what I've read

Guys Martin not only makes fine player guitars but they are also beautiful and as they age the tonal qualities become amazing. I used to have a D-28 and loved it but I have to admit I'm a Gibson man through and through.
Todays carry is a 15 TC Barlow and todays player is my 1983 Les Paul Studio (first year the Studio was made).
