Zounds, Stuart! :thumbsup: That's an enthralling Imperial toothpick! :cool: I have a "thang" for that model, although I'm partial to the clip/pen style one of my grandpas used to carry. Is yours one blade, or two?


Yikes, Randy! :thumbsup: That's a versatile combo! :cool:


XLNT, Pt-Luso! :thumbsup: I think that's one of my favorite #83s, too! ;)

GT, you've outdone yourself wordsmithing. Simply supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Thanks for your compliments on my lambfoot. My pics are subtly adjusted to match what I'm seeing, if at all. That's very much what the grain looks like to me.

Tiger, that bone has aged wonderfully. I loved enlarging your pic and studying it. What's the vintage?

Stuart, that's one of the nicest Schrades I've seen.:thumbsup:

I mentioned this in the Case thread a bit ago, this is a lovely knife, and I certainly do not say that about many Case knives.

Take care my Texan friends :thumbsup:



That's a great-looking pie Barrett! :)

Here's my Friday pair :thumbsup:

Lovely duo today, Jack. How are you liking that 25? I am experiencing the 25 for the first time and though I've opted to give it to my wife, I was pleasantly surprised that such a little guy could actually be used comfortably by someone with hands on the larger side.

I would have to agree with Tom on this one, that is, without a doubt, the nicest Schrade I have ever seen. Just a beautiful knife.

I don't always carry three knives... Well, who am I kidding, I often carry even more.... Helps that I store my collection in an old humidor at my work office. So I have my knives on hand the majority of most days. I usually just display the knives that I end up taking home with me for the day. So these are the three I selected before going home yesterday and I suspect they will be among the few that I take home with me for the weekend later on today.

Thanks, Tom. Some of the well-informed and helpful members in the Schrade sub-forum helped me guesstimate a date for it and let me know that there aren't very many of the 2OTs around, which is too bad. Nice knife that you have posted!

Thanks, Dylan. I inherited the 2OT from my stepfather and am lucky to have it. It doesn't get out much, but it needs to see the light of day once in a while. That's a terrific trio that you posted, love the wood scales.

Thanks Dylan, I like the 25 pattern a lot :) I also have large hands, taking the largest glove size, not Duane @sitflyer size, but big enough for me to find Peanuts a bit small to handle. I much prefer the ergonomics of the 25, as well as the beefier more capable blades. They're a small knife, but they still have a feeling of robustness, as well as better handling characteristics I think. Nice choice my friend, looks like you've got everything covered there :thumbsup:

Looker! :)
 
I have just been packing my rucsac to go out on a hike here tomorrow, and putting the knives aside that I'll be carrying with me.

Haven't carried the Carl Schlieper Duncan gifted me in a while...



I usuallt carry that one in a belt sheath. Packing these two in my pockets :)





Once again, stay safe in Texas folks, and have a good weekend everyone :thumbsup:
