P, it's nice to see a FF knife here. I've tried to get in on a FF Friday twice with no joy. It's too tough to do at work. (I figured I'd best stop trying when my boss walked in the second time around. Had some explaining to do. )

Ebony #25 again on our last full day in England. Flying home (with knife-free pockets) tomorrow morning.

Nice choice of sticks sir. (Like the knife too.)

Tom, that revered red trapper does indeed look like it's capable of quite a workload! (But, showing my inexperience again, what is EIG?)

GT, no shame not knowing about EIG. I have it second hand that Goins places them in business in Solingen from '60-'80. That's where mine came from. There was also EIG Japan and EIG Italy names during the same time frame. I've seen that the Italian stilletos and switchblades are still popular.

I recall you were a bit anxious about carrying a trapper recently. How did that work out?

Going all spear and all Redbone this week.

Come and get your love!

I really like GEC's red bone and those are two fine examples.

Hahaha. Thanks a lot Randy. Now I have the same visual. Poor Gary. Lol

He knows he's our buddy Bob but I had to tease him about all those soddies in his pocket.

Really like those covers did you make them?

Really like those covers did you make them?

I wish I had the skills and tools. I would make Kevlar scales for all my knives!

Nick from birdvisknives on IG made them. I got pictures from him the same day here got the knife!

Mmmmmm, Montecristo's. It's been a while since I've had any of them. Looks like you're having a great time on your trip Barrett.

Fishbone today, Mark makes a very nice knife: )

 

[zolthar]

I can see the resemblance, Mark; noteworthy Ankermesser! I hope your BF Barlow arrives safe and soon!!

Thanks Gary! It has already arrived in Amsterdam, now I have to wait patiently for a week or so until it clears customs and resumes its journey.

 

[screened porch]

Surprise!

Stone River China stainless, but good hard steel with a bit of flex reminiscent of the old Imperials.

Of course I still have this.

Very nice! I like the way the jigging compliments his logo. Are those copper bolsters?

Black and orange are one of my favorite color combos, Tom! How are you liking the SBJr?

- GT

I am liking the sbj GT, very handy. It is also pretty office friendly which is a bonus. The Toledo is a looker

With me today:

That's some wickedly cool polished stag, Travis.

 

[r redden]

Donn I love the patina on that Arthur Wright and with it sitting on that bucket of apples makes for a great picture.


Today I have my 2015 BF knife with me. I sure wish Canal Street was still in business.

A beautiful pattern indeed...great looking stag on yours!

That 2016 run seemed odd in that I think the DLT SFOs made up the entire batch. I'm hoping they do another run of the two bladed version in the near future.

Thanks Ratbert, the 92's are so sweet: walk, talk, size, look, feel...just all perfect! I don't have any Eureka Jacks yet so I would be very much in favor of a near future 92 run.

Here are the three I scored from 2016 run of 92 talons, left to right--Snakewood, Stag, & Blue Camel Bone:

Yesterday.

 

[Jack Black]

During the week, I carry knives dictated by a "rotation schedule" that I set up to indicate a dozen knives to carry each week over a 30-week period. But on the weekend, I often abandon that deterministic approach and exercise my free will, carrying whatever knives strike my fancy. As I mentioned in my last post in this thread, I really enjoyed using a Taylor-Imperial sodbuster in the kitchen this week, and that inspired me to have a Sodbuster Saturday/Sunday. I filled my pockets with all the sodbusteresque knives I currently have.

Nice line-up GT

Nice apples and Ettrick pic Donn I've just picked some myself, blackberries too The apples are for eating, the blackberries went in a crumble Thought I'd earned it after a few hours ripping out Japanese Knotwood These two helped me out, Unity Lambsfoot and a CK Pruner

Today I have my 2015 BF knife with me. I sure wish Canal Street was still in business.

I need to pocket mine more often, Randy. Nice! I agree on Canal Streets demise.

Here are the three I scored from 2016 run of talons:

Good looking Talons and a nice pic!

Yesterday.

I haven't carried mine yet, but I'm tempted. Just screams "use me please!".

On our way to the NYS Fair today. They let us old folks in for free. Totin' my Mammoth Peanut which I posted like 4 times yesterday!
