Jeff, I was bluffing so I'll fold. That's a handsome ebony #53! The Roper is micarta.

I carry a Case medium Stockman. It has SS blades and the handles are Bonestag (yeah, those are odd) and it is great.

I do keep a medium Buck folding Bucklite Max in my flightsuit... but I love Case knives.

I got an old three blade schrade my paw paw gave me has the carbon blade I sharpened it today gonna try it tommoroq

I have been carrying an old USA Shrade 44OT the last few days along with a knife that can't be mentioned in this forum. That little detail carving blade comes in handy.

Wrapping some gifts with the #72 today. This paper is mylar or some variant of it so the fine point has come in quite handy for getting a clean cut without tearing.

I have not had it too long, but it already seems like an old friend:

My 1970 Case 6232 with red bone. :thumbup:

R.Groves, Sheffield lambs foot...love this pattern and the bone is amazing in the light.

I've got one on the way, could have done with it a couple of days ago, same wrapping paper!

My paw paws schrade

^^^ That's a nice Shrade.

I've had this little Kabar for about a month but this is the first time I've carried it. I've never had a Kabar before. This one has 1081 on the tang and looks to have never touched a stone. I'd say the factory edge was pretty darn good and I'd rate the walk and talk at about a 3.5. All springs are equal and consistent. I like it fine.

I would say your paw paw had good taste. :thumbup:

Your very fortunate to have some of his knives. The best thing you can do for them is to use them.

I toted this sentimental beauty today. It's the only knife my wife has ever given me!

 

[dannyp]

She definitely picked a winner there, Jeff! It has to be pretty intimidating to choose one to give to a knife nut, but sticking with GEC definitely helps.



I swapped out my 2010 Forum "Moose" this morning for the SBJ. I wanted something a little lighter today and this knife was a nice change of pace.

 

[black mamba]

Danny, I don't think I've seen that one before. I like the arrowhead shield.

That's a beauty, Jeff. Some very well matched stag too. I'm still totin' the Roper.
