Thank you Sir !! I watched that little knife in the local Antique Shop for some time before they would agree to my price . That test equipment is just some old Standing Wave Meter that I used when I used to use a CB when we traveled .

Thanks guys! Sure will check the Lambsfoot thread! Real classic!

Yeah I'm the Falling_rain from Australian BF. I started collecting traditional knives not too long ago, I post on both forums but certainly I learn more and see more here!

Good stuff mate. Yeah, the 'All Things Traditional' subforum on ABF can be a bit of 'an island of traditionals in a sea of moderns' as someone said over there.

You've got to watch some of these rogues though - they've got me carrying TWO Lambsfoot knives today!

 

[paulhilborn]

Thanks! A Stag 76 Outlaw today!

Nice OLJ Ron, just a unique frame that doesn't get much press time but certainly deserves it

I fail to see a problem with this.

Right now it's this:

 

[J_Curd]

Dude that looks like Starry, Starry Night. Outstanding.

 

[GuestWho101]

Gorgeous, Dee!

On a long hike today, I had these two knives.

Thanks Dean!

Your scenic photographs are some of the best!
And that TC Barlow makes me feel warm & fuzzy on the inside.

Dude that looks like Starry, Starry Night. Outstanding.

Thanks!

 

[Will Power]

I like the contrast between those two. Is that primitive bone on the 85, or some kind of caramel latte mammoth?

#68 White Owl riding with me.

Thanks very much! It's actually a rather anaemic piece of Stag that I pimped up with a tea-dye bath!The results certainly pleased me and many feel it's got a Mammothish aura

Regards, Will

Hope you had a great hike Dean

I enjoy seeing your background changes more than your blades!

View attachment 794129 Back to the day shift with what I’m starting to think of as the “ 303 killer”.

Ok ok I give in...but no one really thought I could change did they?
View attachment 794691

My friend I was starting to worry! It was a great run and the boys knife is a great knife but after like 40 years the 303 is just in my blood!

I'm torn, Clay! That you were changing after such a long time gave me hope that I might be able to change, but devotion to an old favorite gives me comfort and "warm fuzzies".

Wow Gary how big are your pockets? That is quite the load of gear.
Loving that electrican knife. Are those Bakelite scales?

I always carry my SAK, even that big Champion, on a little suspension clip hanging from the edge of my LFP, and don't notice any difference between a Classic and a Champion; quite miraculous, really! Don't know what synthetic that Holub has for covers, but I like the swirly black on red; wish I could think of some way to "polish" it to make it appear brighter.

I've been carrying this smaller Case 63087 CV Red Bone Medium Stockman recently. Same frame as the Pen knife but with a 3rd blade. In this case, a small spey.
View attachment 794165

That looks outstanding, John! I've become quite a fan of the Case pen knife, and an additional blade is always an improvement, to me.

I have pocketed this Case pattern 45 3 blade cattleman for the day, in this instance the 1987 NKCA annual knife (#531 out of 7000).

Holy Cow, Stuart!! I've rarely had such a visceral reaction to a knife photo!! The symmetry; the rounded bolsters; the sunk joints; the bone color, jigging, and smooth bone ends; the shield; the monster pen blade!!! Ooh-La-La!!

Came home from deer hunting to vote yesterday (big election in Virginia or so they say) and am packing up to go back out. With the wet weather, I'll be looking for rain deer. ...
- Stuart

In loving remembrance, carrying a couple things that used to be Bob's.

Carrying 83 that I purchased from Bob.

Couple of handsome knives, and I appreciate the heartfelt sentiments!

Steve & Jeff, those are a couple of vivacious vintage Barlows!

Winchester Black Box Teardrop today-due to Forum generosity.

Notable pair of 2-blade teardrop jacks, Will!

Nice carries today!
Put an Ohta in the pocket.

Overwhelming Ohta, Gary! (And a perplexing photo for me. How many "real" knives are in the pic, and how many are just a photo of a knife pic?? )

...
#68 White Owl riding with me.

Nice!! Is that the rust red jig bone? Was it hard to track down? Someday I'd like to hunt for the spearpoint version, since it shares my birthday.

That knife is MONEY, Dee; stunning!!

View attachment 794737 I received an awesome gift from a fellow member and it has not left the pocket since it arrived. I’m thoroughly impressed with the Case SwayBack Jack and it pairs very well with the excellent 77 Barlow.

Congrats on the sensational SBJ, Jake!

On a long hike today, I had these two knives.

Phenomenal knives and photos, Dean! What's the machinery on which the Presidential rests?

Slipjoints may not be traditionals for most of the Australians, I guess. Young people prefers modern, tactical ones whilst old traditional lovers do not bother posting their stuff.

Doing some fall pruning and clearing, so time to carry something a bit larger -- my Rough Rider trapper in a home-made leather case.
