View attachment 772922 Great photos one and all. I'm not totin' all of these, but these are all the GECs I tote and use! MJ.

Nice selections you've got there, MJ!

For Schrade Saturday

It's a big Teardrop and I don't carry it so much, but time to give it an outing on a cold 7c grey autumn morning, it brightens things!

That's a fine looking Queen City Teardrop, Will! Love the bone on it!

A 2013 Eureka Jack in antique green bone Thanks Barry

Paul, that Eureka Jack is a beaut!

Thanks GT, cool pic of your Imperial at work

Heading out with these two today

Good looking pair, Jack!

Looks like you've got a keen edge on that Lambsfoot, Scruff!

I've still got my #35 Drover in my pocket. The extra-pointy punch on this knife is handy for all sorts of things.

A custom and a SAK farmer, happy Monday all .

Feels wonderful in hand. A sheer joy. The great thing about this knife is of course the ability to change scales at will. Having a set of burlap micarta made hopefully soon, just for changes of mood.

Really that easy to change then? Interesting. I don't have a lot of experience with G10, but think it would be tougher than CF and yet have a similar look.

Monday's carry.

That's a nice duo Wayne! The bone in the top one is some of the prettiest I've seen

Nice single-blade Cattaraugus. Here's a couple of the 2-blade version...

Thanks, GT. Some of those club knives are pretty nice (and I appreciate your overlooking it being a trapper).
- Stuart

I like looking at trappers, Stuart, I just don't seem to carry them well.

The open blade was a pen blade....now its a punch The main blade is closed in the pic and has been reshaped. Both have beartrap snaps and no wobble though. The thing that grabbed me is the design of the integrated cover/liner plate which is recessed to accommodate the cover material, which is some composite ( injection molded ?) to fit in the recess. The bolsters are soldered onto the plate. I wonder if Jake has an expanded diagrammatic of the design patent.

Thanks for the details, Gev!

MJ, that knife is gorgeous in its simplicity and obvious functionality!!

Thanks GT, cool pic of your Imperial at work

Heading out with these two today

Thanks for a "tip of the cap" to my Imperial, Jack. That's quite a fetching, photogenic pair for you!!

Good eye, GT.
It was given to me by a friend, and those are his initials. The story as I remember it, is that a friend of his saw it for sale in a thrift shop and bought it for my friend because it was already monogrammed. What are the odds? I'm going to guess 1 in 676, but I'm not the mathematician...

I like 1 in 676 for a first approximation to the odds, r8shell! Of course, that involves the simplifying assumption that all letter pairs are equally likely as initials, and that's obviously unrealistic. For example, Case knives notwithstanding, "XX" seems a very unlikely pair of initials; how many Xavier Xanadus are there out there??

Busting out the rain coat today. I'm ashamed, honestly, that this ebony #14 hasn't been in my pocket more often. Every time I handle it or slip it into my pocket, I realize that it is absolutely everything I need and desire in a single blade pocket knife. The simple, bare head design with gorgeous ebony handles and way more blade than seems capable for this frame is classic, svelte, and warm. I cannot praise this blade enough. I simply am in love.

That's quite a testimonial, Shawn!!

I'm going light today with just one pocket knife. The NKCA 1978 canoe by Rogers-Wostenholm (NKCA indicates it was contracted through Schrade?) with jigged deep green bone scales, spear main, two pens. No. 2708 of 6000. This was the fourth consecutive year that the NKCA released a club knife.

- Stuart

Hey! I LOVE that knife, Stuart, since I have one just like it!! (I think mine is No. 2787.) Fantastic jigging, but why is it called "green bone"? Here's a pic of mine:

My Ebony AW is in my pocket today! The blade etch says it all, this one is a REAL LAMB FOOT!

VERY serviceable lambsfoot knives, scruffuk & Ron!! Outstanding form AND function, I'll bet!

Impressive pen blade, Steve! Is that a Texas Jack?

...
Carrying these two with me today, I can't think of a whole I can't accomplish with this duo. Well, aside from maybe popping a few bottle tops...

Lotta nice woods represented there, Dylan!! What do I think I see? Pine, oak, rosewood, ebony, and whatever the weathered wood is that it all rest upon.

Im carrying this dogleg jack today. Its on the short list for my all time favorite slip joint.

View attachment 774388

"All time favorite" is pretty strong praise, Grateful!! What model is that? Frontier bone #56??

Thanks for the couple of nods GT. Your Imperial is impossibly characterful!

Tom, thanks for the Imperial comment, you silver-tongued devil!

Nice single-blade Cattaraugus. Here's a couple of the 2-blade version...

That's a nice duo Wayne! The bone in the top one is some of the prettiest I've seen

I agree with Rob that you've got a dynamite pair of Barlows, Wayne!! But I'm gonna disagree with him on which of the two is "better"; that darker bone and script bolster stamp makes the bottom one a dream come true for me!!

WW, Pt-Luso!! Are you carrying ALL of those beauties today?? You sure posted a lot of amazing knives!!

I'm not ashamed to say I like Rough Riders, and they fill four of my categories this week.
My Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a RR amber jigged bone whittler:

My Canoe of the Week is a RR "black" smooth bone "Diamond Jim":

My Peanutish Knife of the Week is a RR jigged red bone baby copperhead:

My K.N.I.F.E. (Knife's New - I'm Feeling Exuberant) knife this week is a RR smooth tobacco bone improved muskrat:

- GT

 

[rockman0]

Perfect, when we talk Wayne into parting with these two we won't have to fight over who gets which knife

I agree with Rob that you've got a dynamite pair of Barlows, Wayne!! But I'm gonna disagree with him on which of the two is "better"; that darker bone and script bolster stamp makes the bottom one a dream come true for me!!

Tom, thanks for the Imperial comment, you silver-tongued devil!

I have an exemplary instructor GT. Like that Diamond Jim RR. A lot.
