LOL...something about underwareBeauty of an old Scout Gev, now in regards to the "Daze" comment, I'm wondering if it's the kind that Matthew McConaughey was in back in 1993![]()
You have so many nice canoes, @315 !!
- ooh, my, what a beaut...........everything is 'just right' about that![]()
Thanks for the kindness concerning my Colt canoe, Paul and Jeff.Very pretty Colt, GT, with nice warm stag!
I'm a sucker for any black/red handle pairing,
Congrats on your latest "Watch Pocket Sunfish", @Travman !!
Zesty fish Zulu, Alan!
Jack, I admire both your 2-blade lambsfoot and your ebony version (and the ebony lambs foots of so many others)!
Today I'm carrying my little lamb, little lamb, little lamb... yadda yadda... it's spots are white as snow.

More acclaimed and admirable lambsfoots!!
Congrats,
Thanks for the further scientific reports, Matt!HA! I was positioning the two knives and the Peanut spun on its own and went *clink up against the Barlow. When I went to put it back the Barlow went with it. I have them both with me again today and they are still doing it so I figured out that it is Luke's Peanut that is the cause and the end cap does in fact attract smaller metal items!

Great post, Stuart!!More beautiful knives and pictures thereof than I can keep up with (because I stop and stare/drool). A cornucopia of coveted cutlery.
@ 5K Q That Colt is a fine captivating canoe, but the small copperhead grabbed my attention. The blue Case mini copperlock that I posted a day back would contrast well the" little red" that you showed.
...
I may have to come out of retirement and get a job that pays some folding money to get on the GEC train (or even just to try some of the RRs that5K Qs has been showing).
@Jack Black "A Ramble made is a man improved." That slogan, simple and so true, has made my day, Jack. Most of my best experiences have been afoot - walking the fields for pheasants and rabbits, sauntering with my wife and, especially my children, a scouting walk with my dog or a human friend, even those dreaded marches while at Ft. Bragg in the summer - I found new knowledge, confirmed old beliefs, and forged some personal strengths. Thanks for reminding me.
... It is of one my favorite knives, one that is as solidly built as any newer knife that I own: a WARDS premium stockman made for Montgomery Wards by Utica in the 1935-1950s period.

Thanks for the pro photo tip, Alan!@Travman
Outdoor slightly overcast lighting is the best. I love it for portraits or knives. haha
Thanks for the story, @Zieg !...
Long-winded, but that's the story of the skeletoized SD Classic.

That's one of the things I like about you, Ron: you're almost always a happy camper!Thanks Gary! I’m a happy camper!

@hamsco , that's a glorious Swayback Gent!!
Superb pairing, Taylor!
That's a splendid Case canoe you picked up recently, @peanutsxx !!
Iconic, impressive Ankermesser, @HFinn !!This Otter is turning into a favourite. ...

Thanks, GT! That green on your canoe looks like British racing green (one of my favorites).You have so many nice canoes, @315 !!
Thanks for the kindness concerning my Colt canoe, Paul and Jeff.I'm kicking myself for not having picked up multiple copies of every Colt stag model for under $20 when they were available!
I'm a sucker for any black/red handle pairing,JTB_5 and
Pàdruig !
Congrats on your latest "Watch Pocket Sunfish", @Travman !!Secondary is a pen blade, right? What did GEC call those covers?
Zesty fish Zulu, Alan!
Jack, I admire both your 2-blade lambsfoot and your ebony version (and the ebony lambs foots of so many others)!I dearly love my rosewood model, but I think my next perambulation into the lambsfoot pasture will have to be an elegant ebony! (And no cracks about "elegant GT" being an oxymoron!
)
More acclaimed and admirable lambsfoots!!@strokednbored , does yours have the "pruner" frame with a little extra curve to it? I'm enjoying your "steering wheel series" of portraits of it!
@HWF , I dig the stripes on your knife's handles
, but I'm not sure if it's ebony or rosewood??
Congrats,rswanson , I think your stag 78 is almost salacious!!
Thanks for the further scientific reports, Matt!Of course you know I'm going to spend WAY too much time this weekend checking the potential magnetic properties of my knives, starting with my Case chestnut jigged peanut!
Great post, Stuart!!Thanks for the positive feedback on my knives, especially the baby copperhead.
And I know what you mean about knife funding.
I'm scheduled to retire at the end of August, but I've already agreed to teach one class each semester next school year, at least in part to fund knives and health care!
Thanks for the articulate thoughts on the joys/pleasures of walking.And thanks for sharing that wonderful Wards folder: the "crinkly" bone, the shield, the coined liners, the blade selection combine to leave me awestruck!
Fantastic knife, @ArchiveMoto !!I never noticed the "GEC CAR" on the tang stamp before!
Do all the 78s have that stamp?
WW, Jason, that photo blows me away!!
The thought that immediately popped into my head when I saw the picture was the melody and first line of an old hymn, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds"!
@jmarston & @Hickory n steel , those are a couple of timeless classics from Case - great photos, too!
Tough to beat a sheep/pen TC IMHO, Paul!Thanks for the explanation (in the Churchill thread, I think) for the "setting" of many of your recent photos; makes a lot of sense!
(I just wish I was good enough to step outside for a quick "keeper" shot! I get my old pointNshoot camera warmed up, and then I typically take a half dozen shots to get one "sort of keeper".
That's a cold prospect in the winter if I have a box of Rough Riders come in.
)
Thanks for the pro photo tip, Alan!
Thanks for the story, @Zieg !I'm no hiker and never heard of this Fletcher guy, but I like "informal" walking to and from work, church, etc. and found the story fascinating!
That's one of the things I like about you, Ron: you're almost always a happy camper!![]()
The jigging on your Norfolk is rapturous!
Remarkable Russell, Wayne!

2015 TC Sheep/Pen old tan jigged bone Barlow today.

Posted my "old tan" TC yesterday, so I decided to break out it's mate today. Not sure what the bone is on this one, old yellow bone? Definately a more rusty red cast to it though.

With the second release of the lionSTEEL Roundhead here, this week I carried my Ram’s Horn from last year’s run.
This is really a fantastic knife. Butter-smooth pull and solid lockup, beautiful clean lines and plenty of blade...what’s not to like?
