[5K Qs]

Thanks pal, nice to see the Imperials

Thank you for the compliments, Gary! Also, I like seeing those two venerable Imperials.

I miss Spring, which is not here, but not my I*XL Barlow, which is in my pocket today.

Thanks for supporting my Imperial interests, Jack & Dean. Excellent I*XL Barlow, Dean!

...
I've returned to the Presidential for today. It's been pining away on the dresser for awhile.

Until I saw your pic, Dean, I didn't realize that I was pining away to see your "signature" Presidential - what a lot of lovely knife!!

5K Qs , GT, you always notice things that others do not seem to. The wood is Olive.

Thanks for the wood ID, Leslie. I doubt if I notice more things that others, but I have no "filter" on my keyboard - whatever I notice I'm apparently compelled to comment on.

... Below is my Pioneer Bone 25 Barlow from the same run.

Very attractive #25, Leslie!

Mudbug! These are incredibly nice. Great finish, and it even locks tight. I will be totin it all week!

Congrats on the Mudbug, Leslie!!

5K Qs thanks for the kind comment! Your bottom pick has an interesting cover material, what is it?

Thanks, JTB_5 . It's a "clamped bolsters" Imperial with a celluloid "wrapper". I think the official name of that style celluloid was "cracked ice", but many call it MOTS (Mother of Toilet Seat). Here's a photo that shows its design a little better:

Mustang today and an #81 stag stockman.

That Mustang looks fantastic!! You're a camera magician, Johnny!

Same as yesterday

Camillus #17

Literally cool top shot, and I love your sunny photos, Steve, especially this Blue Sky Barlow!!

That's a svelte, slender slicer, lambertiana!!

Yep, this rock n roll life style will be the death of me. haha
...

Morning folks I'm starting the week off with some A.Wright stag, and an old Harrison Fisher Crown Penknife

You obviously observe Magnificent Monday, Jack!!

Jason, that is an overwhelmingly attractive knife!!

...Put an offer on a house on Saturday, now we wait with baited breath...

I have these two with me today.

Best wishes for the house hunt, Dylan!
That's a peerless pair of knives - black/red, wood/bone, spear/sheep. I look at the barehead thread and think, "Yeah, barehead jacks are best", but then I see a photo like yours and think, "How can you top the looks of an end cap?"

Striking congress, Txjohn !!

Wonderful!!

Fantastic flaming Farmer!!

A while back, 5K Qs posted a picture of a very fine looking Remington Bullet knife that he had recently received. It caught my eye and caused me to look through the boxes from the trove of knives that my stepfather left to me when he passed away several years ago. Using the Old Crafty that I was carrying yesterday to remove some old twine, I opened a box that I had left shut (not enough time back then) and found a couple. I guess I know what I'll be totin' for a few days.

These knives are not original Remington-made Bullets. Remington's cutlery division was sold to PAL Cutlery in 1940. PAL ceased pocket knife production in 1953. These are authorized reproductions of old Remington Bullet models and were made by Camillus between 1984 and 1990. Today, I carried one of the two R1306 Trackers in the pile (the other was still sealed in plastic). 440C blade, Delrin Staghorn scales, made in 1990.

Holy Moly, Stuart!! Cutlery Christmas in January!! I know I'm likely in the minority, but I LOVE the faux stag on your Remington lockback! Looking forward to seeing the contents of that pile of boxes!

Great knives by everyone today! I have been toting Stag and Stainless today.

Stellar stainless and stag duo, Ron!

For me, Canoe of the Week is my Rough Rider amber jigged bone; first canoe I ever owned/handled, and for some reason the pattern grabbed me by the heart and won't let go:

Big Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider Toothpick/Fish knife (thanks, Mark):

Thanks my friend, I just posted pics of some Richards knives in r8shell's Souvenir Knife thread

 

[JTB_5]

5K Qs thanks for the info! MOTS is hilarious!

I’ve got my courdoroy coat keeping company with two knives today:

 

[Beard&Owl]

Pena does some incredible jigging. I have a hard time keeping this one out of my pocket.

Well, this was the first of about 15 straight 14-hour Mondays; this is gonna take some getting used to!
I'll show some Case knives I'm carrying this week.
Humpback stockman (thanks, Mike); is it a cattle knife?

Case CV chestnut jigged bone mini trapper (miscellaneous knife of the week) and peanut (peanutish knife of the week):

- GT

So sorry to hear about your 14 hour Mondays, Gary. I assume you mean 14 hours of work, not awake.
The good news is you have those two beauties to keep you company! The Humpback Stockman is a stunner.

Thanks for supporting my Imperial interests, Jack & Dean. Excellent I*XL Barlow, Dean!

Thank you for the kind words about my knives!

Memories
of better days
can be felt
and touched.
Bone to bone,
steel and blood,
the bond is ours
in hand.

This made me laugh out loud!

Pretty much sums up my normal day of knife totin'!

Congrats on that Black Box Winchester 2857, Tom! There are quite a few of those that show up on The Porch now and then. What do you call yours? I've seen "dogleg jack", "bullet jack", "teardrop jack", "torpedo jack", and "candle-tip jack" applied to that model!




I picked up some DMT Diafolds a while back, and my wife gave me a Flexcut strop and some Flexcut gold compound for Christmas, so I was "honing" my feeble sharpening skills on a couple of my old Imperials. And much to my surprise, both blades on both of these knives are much sharper after relatively little time spent! I've been amazed how well they've been performing on food prep this week! (Both pictured before the recent successful sharpening sessions.)

- GT

Thanks, I am calling it a Teardrop Jack GT, as that is the name I am most familiar with . Congrats on the sharpening success! My new black box knives all need sharpening and while I used to dread that task, I look forward to the challenge now (what is more challenging is finding the time to do it though ).

These 2 on board today:

I never get tired seeing those Bark River blades Mark.

These two helping me on the 33 today. Nice to be spending time back in the shop after 3 months. And already irritate at the way the hood fits and works.
