6 days! Great time to bond. I love those times!Heading out to run some errands with the kiddo this afternoon (wife's out of town for work, so it's just me and the 15-month-old for the next six days![]()

I've still got my #25 "BigBiscuit EO Special" in my pocket, keeping Bob's family in my thoughts. Rest in peace, buddy.

Great photo!!
It is a fine looking knife, regardless. Thanks for sharing.Beautiful knives, as always, folks.
Among a few other knives, I was carrying this Ulster Jack that is still a bit of mystery to me.

The tang stamp (Ulster OVER Knife Co OVER NY) dates it between 1876 (!) and 1941, so there's a chance that's it's my oldest knife, but the wonky shield makes me think it's been rehandled (not that that is a bad thing) The wear on the Rosewood or Cocobolo handles is enough to seem really old, though. I don't know this knife's story, but I wish I did! Maybe it was rehandled in '60s and carried for the next 50 years. Maybe it was botched at the factory. Maybe someone faked the whole thing to make a quick buck. Who knows? I really dig it. That's all I know.
True classics, both.

Top notch knives, GT. Really nice!Captivating coffin, Signalprick!
I'll bet that is a satisfying rut to be in, Jer!(At my age, that kind of rut is more likely than a mating frenzy.
)
Thoughtful tribute, Barrett!
Interesting, since I'm experiencing the opposite situation. My yard has several oak trees that are dropping an unusually low number of acorns.
Thanks for the kind comment about my posts, Mike. I'm just following the examples of several positive role models on The Porch.
Thanks for the specs on your toothpick, Josh.Cool razor trapper
; are the covers faux tortoise shell, or does RR call that something else?
That is one CLASSIC jack knife, tmd!!
Thanks for the sodbuster comment, Jack.
That photo is absolutely NUTS in its quality, Dean!!Propitious Presidential!
And SHINY!With several posts mentioning nuts, your choice of your Squirrel is inspired!
Fascinating mystery surrounding your knife, Shawn!A related mystery that you can probably solve for me concerns the background of the photo. Kind of looks like dessert bars I've seen people bake, but I'm guessing it's really a dried up mud puddle?
Attractive pair of knives, Jack!And the cane is also cool; I've suddenly got a swollen, gimpy knee that's making me think about canes.
What (or who) is reflected in the rat tail groove of the bolster of your Guardian Lambsfoot??
That whittler is phenomenal, SVT!
Your Böker Barlow is big-league, Steve!That model always catches my attention; I have a Böker cap, so I should hunt down a sweet Barlow to go with it.
Ron, you're such a vigilant Guardian of the Lambsfoot!Even on Stag Saturday, you're at your post with a Lambsfoot!
Alan, you sound like a man trying to convince himself!Both knives are gorgeous, and FWIW, I sure appreciate my knives at a whole new level once I start using them!
Am I the only one who can no longer see P&G's pics anymore??
Congrats, tmd, and best wishes to your team in the playoffs!!(Are you sure the knife is the charm, and not that delicious Imperial stout you praised in the Beverages and Blades thread??
)
Lovely stag 25, Pt-Luso!!
Magnificent matched pair, Tom!
Marvelous photo, Dschal!!
I've fallen behind on showing off knives I've been carrying this week.
My watch pocket knife is a Rough Rider cannitler:
