@5K Qs
Thanks Gary. The Churchill Yellow Rose is out for delivery. Very happy about the Yankees but I'm way too superstitious to start celebrating.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks, Jack. Your pair definitely seems worthy of consecutive carries!!
...

Thank you my friend, an eclectic selection of customised folders there

@5K Qs - There were not any four legged companions in that picture. There is a sign along the trail which is what you might be seeing. My dogs never stay still, so if they happen to be in the picture it is just luck.

This one spends the most time in my pocket. The ivory has gotten a bit creamier and the blade is a little scratched up now, but here it is when it was new.

@5K Qs Thank you for the kind comments. Yes, I do have a few knives, old and new, slipjoints and others. I was lucky to have a loving stepfather who shared with me, among other interests, his hobby of knife collecting. When he passed in 2012, he shared his knives. As their custodian, I am trying to catch up on their pedigree (though their provenance is mostly forgotten). I am very grateful for the education and insight that I have gained from this forum and its delightful denizens.

Today, I'm carrying this Queen model 31 (1961-1971) which rides very well in the pocket.

Most of my day today will be spent packing for an annual pheasant hunting trip in South Dakota this weekend. This will be the 14th consecutive trip for several buddies and me. My utilitarian selections for EDC in the field are: Case Sodbuster Jr., Gerber Gator, Grohmann DH Russell #3s, and Gerber field shears (which I'll probably leave back at the farmhouse).

I will be back on Tuesday, God willing and the creek don't rise.

This one since Monday, and I expect a lot more Mondays will come and go before it leaves my pocket

The tang shoulders on those blades are elegant. Form and function well married.

Heading out to a nice local Mexican restaurant for dinner, so decided to slip this in my pocket - just in case they don't have a bottle-opener!

Ron & FBC, props that you're keepin' it REAL, bros!!
Congrats, FBC!! That AWright is way more than awright!!

That is a very fine looking knife. It is everything that a good knife should be, just more so.

If I got that just the other day, I'd be carrying too. One of these days I'll get a Norfolk. And a wharncliffe trapper. In the meantime I'll just have to pacify myself by rubbing the jigged bone of my 2004 Muskrat.

Well said Stuart! I thank you for the kind words!

I had the wharncliff trapper once upon a time. Great knife, kinda wish I had kept it. Those Coffin Jack's call to me. Funds are severely depleted though after scoring this and a TV humpback whittler.

Very elegant Gev

Two very special knives Harry, and huge generosity on the part of The Legend!
(I'm darn angry you don't have your Guardians yet my friend )

Third day in a row for these two

Smashing pair yourself !!! Thank you

Blue jeans weather is back and so is my Presidential in my pocket.

Good to see the president, Dean

The Sharpfinger is a great knife and deserves a revival as it's so useful. I only have a modern Chinese made one as getting the US ones here in Europe is tricky & expensive, but it's not a bad effort either. What I'd really like is a top condition old one dressed with some very fine Stag slabs!

Regards, Will

I think there's a lot of room to play with this classic blade shape Will. That said I like the utilitarian sawn Delrin on mine very much.
