I literally just unboxed this humpback whittler. It's gorgeous! A perfect compliment to my new Bose Case imo.

Thanks Jack! I really like it too! I didn’t realize how beautiful the grain in the Horn actually was. I took this picture in natural window light this morning and I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at the photos! They are a treasure my friend!

You captured it really well Ron When I was looking at those 5 knives, in many ways I thought they were the most beautiful of all the Guardians knives

These two today.

Yet another superb combo Tom

Now that is right up my alley, and what a beautiful picture.
I know which knife will be in my pocket tomorrow .

Today it's still the Outlaw which is in my pocket. Here's a picture when it was brand new and still shiny:

Your pocket slip is amazing, TheFactor!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Case Red Bones getting some attention today!

The attention is certainly well-deserved, Ron!!

Today, I'm carrying this handmade Portuguese knife in stag. is small with 3 " in length.
I also post my favorite three Portuguese!!!
...

Fantastic trio, Pt-Luso!!! The stag on the middle knife is sensational!

Just been for a x-ray of my jaw, I have suspected wisdom teeth issues.

Unbeknownst to me I dropped my recently gifted A.Wright & Son Ltd. Lambsfoot on the waiting room chair!

Some very kind gentleman had noticed it though. He waited for my x-ray to finish, so he could return it to me.

I tried to thank him with a small token of my appreciation, but he refused saying "It was a pleasure to find (and return) it". He had admired it during his short wait.

Thanks for putting a smile on my face sir!

Great story and unique knife pic, Scruff!!

Cheers 5K. I do like what you and others do with Opinels. I keep meaning to pick up a couple and experiment.
Old Tom is brewed by Robinsons Brewery; a nice ale though they've watered it down over the years. It wasn't so much hair of the cat more like spooling myself up for a trawl around the pubs of Derby

Thanks, donn; if I can successfully modify an Opinel, including fixing my mistakes, ANYONE can!!
Thanks for the info about Old Tom and its uses.

...
I am carrying these two today, I really do love that beautiful smooth ebony.

What a distinguished dark duo, Dylan!! Black and silver knives strike me as so aristocratic (in a good way)!

...
Thanks a lot GT, it's always nice to see your Imperial Canoe

Thanks, Gary@ I understand the quandary. You have a gorgeous improved muskrat.

Thanks for the compliments, Jack and Dean.

Did you check around to make sure there were no billy goats banging around?
I've got my stag 83 with me again. Practical knife with beautiful stag.

I forgot to post the photo of Gec 83, I'm sorry ...

Also an 83 for me today.
My 'car knife' A CASE Med Stockman in Amber Bone in the background awaiting sharpening.
Many thanks to a very kind man, Bob, for the great Bison pouch.

Didn't smell any billy goats, Alan, and they usually smell quite rank!
Alan, Pt-Luso, and Will, those are extremely covetable stag 83s!!!

These today .

Harry

You've got me seeing red, Harry, and it's enchanting!!

I have a sort of special knife with me today. This Royal Ambassador's Colonial scout knife is likely the first knife I ever owned. It was given to me by my dad when I was 6 or 7 years old.

Although I don't carry this knife very often, I'm carrying it today is because it's been exactly 10 years since my dad died in a motorcycle accident, so I figured it would be nice to have something in my pocket that reminded me of him.

Here is one of my favorite pictures of my dad:

This Polaroid is another favorite. I have it in a little frame hanging above the workbench where I sharpen my knives.

(That's me on the right. )

What a fine tribute to your dad on a sad but special day, Barrett! Thanks for sharing the story here!

...
These two for me today, my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot and my Radio Jack Have a great weekend folks

Sweet knives and intriguing photos, Jack!

S&M baby doctors knife hasn't been out of my pocket for the last few weeks.

Exemplary stag on your doctor's knife, Mark!! What uses have you found for the spatula blade?

These two straight edges today.

That ripple pattern in the grain of your "midnight" Guardian Lambsfoot is exquisite, Ron!!

Carrying this old Ulster barlow that showed up this week...

Wayne, is that bolster read as "OK" (the knife is okay) or "KO" (the knife is a knock-out)?? I'd definitely go with the second choice!

PEARL is looking purty (and a little nutty), r8shell!!

In the kitchen this week, I've used this large Rough Rider liner lock "work knife", but I've also used a couple of Cases that I've been using in the kitchen for the past couple of months trying to build some patina.

Thanks 5K Qs

Thanks, GT, Pearl and I are having a pleasant weekend.

I like the look of light covers with a dark patina, and it looks like you've got a good patina started on those Cases.

 

[Half/Stop]

The attention is certainly well-deserved, Ron!!

Thanks for the compliments Gary! That is a great pair of CV Cases!

 

[Old Engineer]

Had this TEW Lambfoot in my pocket today . Carried it safely in the new Slip made by Dylan .

- GT

Thanks GT! I don't use the spatula a lot, but occasionaly it comes in quite handy. E.g. for pulling a loop through a tight slit on the car seat of my daughter or pushing a bit of stray fabric back behind the door panel of my old car
