Absolutely amazing. What a pair of priceless keepsakes!

 

[Half/Stop]

Some wood for Wednesday

 

[5K Qs]

Thanks GT For the past few years, I've been wearing 5.11 pants. I have 7 or 8 pairs, 4 different designs, but they all a small front pocket on each of the thighs, a bit like this...



So, I just drop a knife in one, and usually one in the other too, keeps 'em safe and scuff free

And as from this afternoon, I have added security (and some glamour too I think! )

Thanks again my friend

Those look like well-designed pants for a knife fancier, Jack! I often wear carpenter jeans because of their extra pockets, but I can't wear them in all situations because they're not "dressy" enough; I'll keep my eyes open for something like you showed!

Three winners GT

Thanks, Jack. (But who's counting?? )

Buzz, there's sure a LOT to like about that scout!

...
Thanks GT, and yes the Wright Senator does indeed have a Lambsfoot blade!

Thanks for the confirmation, Ron. I have a Wright stag senator with Lambsfoot.

That's a cool Robt. Klaas pattern, Josh! What is it called? Some kind of 4-blade stockman? A whittler on steroids?

...
Thanks GT! My other SAK’s are jealous of the carry time the electric blue farmer gets

A Charlie Mike custom with me today.

Your other SAKs need to realize that jealousy is an unappealing emotion! Fantastic pic of black and white on the rocks!

Thanks, it's no big deal.
Can't remember what they call the procedure, but Ive had bad acid reflux my whole life and they're going to use a camera to examine my esophagus and see how badly it's been narrowed by scarring.

No big deal, maybe, but it still sounds less than ideal! Hope everything turns out OK and maybe they'll come up with a new effective approach to minimize the reflux.

Carrying the 66 today that my brother-in-law, @Natchez, gave me.

That's an incredibly photogenic stockman, TdoubleK!

A bevy of Barlows in a box, all Queens, waiting for me to pick for today's carry. Models 22, 23, 25, and 27 with 1 or 2 blades, clips, razors, spears, and sheepsfoot mains, and either Winterbottom bone or saw-cut bone scales (one in Delrin). dates seem to run from mid 1950's to the early 1970's.

I chose a Model 23 with an aluminum frame covering the springs.
...
[After posting this message/photos and while handling the jigged knives in the picture, I referred to some contemporary catalogues that indicate the the jigged covers are Queen's Frontier bone, a variation on their Winterbottom bone jigging.]

Those are a lot of royal Barlows, Stuart! You picked an unusual one (to me) to carry!!

View attachment 797651 My Mexican Bocote Beauty!

That's a fine 57, Lance!

Fine selections one and all.

I'm enjoying carrying this in its finely made custom slip @Pàdruig made for it, which recently arrived.

...

Those are a couple of real glamor shots, Chin & Dee!!

5K Qs And I might add a Lloyd is a good value in a custom slip joint. You can find better fit and finish but the price will be much higher. Lloyds are sturdy and made to use

Thanks for the info, Rob!

Very nice looking Humpback, Gary.

I am copying 5k Qs and carrying my humpback stockman today!

Thanks for the mentions, Ratbert and Ernie. The spear main is probably my favorite feature of Case's humpback stockman (or is it the sunk joints?).

Something simple, but I think effective today. It doesn't look pristine like this any more and I don't eat cherry jam any more either (my favourite but I MUST lose some kgs!)but it was a GEC that was easy to get and moderate in cost.

FBC and Will, I'm bullish on your Bull Noses for sure!!

I was in the mood for stag, and this had not been carried for some time:

That's an intriguing knife, lambertiana!! I've not seen one like that before!

Nice of you to say my friend, however I think mostly we just get lucky!

Don't knock lucky, Clay!!

View attachment 797965 Starting the day off in my same old boring fashion, but usps tells me that will all change about lunch time!

Looks pretty cool, not boring, to me, Clay! What's your flashlight?

My Euro knife this week is an Opinel #8 stainless garden knife:

My Big Knife this week is a Rough Rider Half Hawk in smooth tobacco bone:

My Watch Pocket Knife this week is a Rough Rider dogleg locking mini canoe!

Don't knock lucky, Clay!!


Looks pretty cool, not boring, to me, Clay! What's your flashlight?


- GT

Gary the flashlight is a little AAA made by Peak it’s a Peak Eiger. Tough as nails variable output and fits in a watch pocket! I highly recommend it.

That's a cool Robt. Klaas pattern, Josh! What is it called? Some kind of 4-blade stockman? A whittler on steroids?

It is called the Robert Klaas "Fourmaster." I've posted it before, it is my favorite edc, so I have a few extra as backups. I've needed them, lol! lost one, and the other, well:

I have no idea how the tip broke, I opened it one day at work to find it this way. At any rate- backups. It is inexpensive, stainless steel, fine, thin blades, nice profile and blade selection. Even a bit of a swedge on the main blade. I like them.

 

[TrapperMike]

My peanut got a new friend. A brown case 082 stockman with as ground blades just like my peanut.

 

[The Fort]

Thanks Gary!

 

[lambertiana]

That's an intriguing knife, lambertiana!! I've not seen one like that before!

- GT

It has a hidden lock - to release the lock you rotate one of the handle scales.

 

[Duckdog]

A small change in the lineup today but still maintaining the same theme for the week.

I see no reason to change. Well settled in.

My Big Knife this week is a Rough Rider Half Hawk in smooth tobacco bone:

That is a lovely and soothing color. I like all three, but that is special.
- Stuart

 

[Pomsbz]

A fine selection, good luck Jeff!

For Wednesday:

What an excellent carry!

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today with one of these small (3 ") Puma Corporal!!!

 

[Jack Black]

A small change in the lineup today but still maintaining the same theme for the week.

Solid choices my friend

That is some beautiful ebony there, Dylan. I think it's my favorite of the Churchills.

I went with ebony and ivory today.

My Big Knife this week is a Rough Rider Half Hawk in smooth tobacco bone:

I think they're considerably less expensive on your side of the pond GT I have them in grey, green, and black, and think they look quite smart, particularly the ones without side-pockets, such as the 5.11 Jean-Cut Pants or Ridgeline Pants

That 'Half Hawk' is one of the best, and best-looking, knives I've had from RR It seems to have disappeared from stockists over here though

I'm just carrying this one today

 

[SteveC]

Carrying this Camco Equal End Jack today

 

[Ramrodmb]

This LF&C today!

 

[Duckdog]

I've gone back to this pair of 35's in a nostalgic moment. A Case pattern 35 (1940-1964) and a Queen model 35 (1932-1955). I have a Sodbuster Jr in my back pocket in the event of heavy duty cutting, though the Queen can handle its own share.
