Thanks 5K Qs
I honestly couldn’t tell you since I don’t take many like pics like that . I just kept hitting buttons until I liked what I saw lol .

A photographer after my own heart! Cool result, however it happened!

Today in my pocket I carry Vic Blue pioneer 2015.
Does anyone know what the color for this year?

I don't know the 2018 "limited edition" color. Yours are like a spring garden of flowery colors!

Took another glamour shot of my Mudbug, now with 150 grit satin finished scales for better traction.

That's a looker!

Cool trio GT

I left the house early this morning, and ended up carrying the same knives I had with me yesterday

Thanks, Jack. I have no objections to your carrying the same knives two days in a row, especially when it's a pair of lambsfoot knives! For myself, I PREFER carrying the same knives for a week!

I'm settling in with some old friends today, both of whom I know can pull their own if called upon. A Case 02 bare head jack (1920-1940) and a slightly younger Case 35 regular jack (1940-1964) in redbone. Still as solid as the day they were born (though the elder is showing some age spots, just like its owner).

Captivating Case cutlery with breathtaking bone, Stuart!

I'll repeat myself: Good wood, Dylan!!

Thanks, GT. The truck is looking significantly less salty!

I don’t think I’ve seen (or haven't noticed) that Marbles before. Definitely a unique pattern. How bulky is it when it's all folded up?

Keeping your vehicle salt-free in the winter definitely takes commitment (that I don't possess ). An old rock song (by Eddie Cochrane? I know The Who's "Live at Leeds" version) claims "there ain't no cure for the summertime blues", but I get the blues much more frequently in the winter.
The Handyman's Helper II is 4" long closed, 1/2" from backspring to closed blade spine, and 3/8" thick mark to pile side. I think it's quite svelte. Here's another pic that might help:

Use it or lose it, Jason!

Is that an old glove re-purposed as a sheath? Either way I like it!

Thanks, peanutsxx . You hit the nail right on the head! That's actually a piece of the webbing of an old glove, and I just had to tear out some stitches to get a ready-made pocket slip!

Congrats on the new Case, @jwb01 - that is one super-sized stockman!


Thanks GT! I really do love the supersized stockmans in the hand... the pocket not so much.

I can relate, although I feel more that way about trappers, maybe because stockman has more blade variety.

Coming in late today, but my hummingbird was with me again today. Such a great knife!

Great looking covers, GEC really does acrylic well. That #35 reminds me of an old cell Colonial I had when I was a kid.

Love to see other guys carrying Wengers!

I love both Vic and Wenger, but there are subtle differences that I like about the Wengers- the profile of the main spear blade, for instance. Or maybe I just feel like rooting for the underdog since they got stomped and swallowed up by the big guy.
I usually carry a Wenger, but right now, there is a big fat Vic in a Leatherman sheath on my belt.

It's the only Wenger I have left, gave a couple away as gifts. I guess that's a good enough of a reason to buy more!

These 2 today : Was unable to get any pictures of them together , so had to use some old pics.

Beautiful pair!!

Thanks! I don't think I would have even tried the 35 pattern if it wasn't for these covers. The cigar shape doesn't appeal to me as much, although I'll admit that the single spring does. It was the sparkling green with the henna swirls that made me stop and say, "now wait a second!"

 

[007hunter]

Haven't posted much lately, weather has been nasty for picture taking. Still totin this one

Sure wish we could coax you into posting more, this is the best photo I have seen on bladeforums in 2018, bar none! In fact it's my new desktop wallpaper

 

[flatblackcapo]

Thanks and that’s a beautiful Diamond Jack! Excellent color on the Jigged Bone on that one!

Thanks Ron,I count myself very lucky to have been able to snag this sweet slicer.

Tremendous trapper, flatblackcapo !!

Welcome to the Porch, ggw. Thanks for the nice shot of that beautiful Peanut.

That was another great CC SFO


I left the house early this morning, and ended up carrying the same knives I had with me yesterday

I don't think Charlie can make 'em any other way.
The butterscotch coloring in your horn Lambsfoot makes it a fav' for me.

Nice office!

My Tote for today. It is a pure joy to use and admire this 15.

 

[peanutsxx]

Carrying an Eisenhower today for the first time. Of course the Peanut was supervising.

 

[Jack Black]

These two today

Looking good Ron

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen. Fine knives you've selected to accompany you today.

I've chosen these two for my companions.

Great choice Dylan

Nice knives and pics today, folks!
Small Rounder for today.

Always a treat to see Gary

Had a split in my thumbnail and had to cut it so short I can't gain any purchase on nail nicks, going to have to carry something I can easily pinch open for a while...

Hope you're back to full duties again soon Duane

Always enjoy seeing those knives

Thanks GT Handyman's Helper is a great rendition of a very old pattern

Both beauties Harry, but that TEW is a peach

I don't think Charlie can make 'em any other way.

Many thanks Mr. GT, we'll have to wait for the surprise!!!

 

[willard0341]

That is a very cool picture . It made me think a lot and really study. I think you are probably sitting in the Captains chair of a Tug Boat pushing some barges on probably the Mississippi River or the Ohio River ????? That seems to me to be very interesting occupation . Thanks for the extremely interesting picture . Nice knife too my friend .

Harry

Thank you, I was on the lower Mississippi about 10 river miles below turning off on the Ohio. Good friday to you all. I'm the pilot, I operate the vessel when the Capt is off watch... 6 hours on 6 hours off around the clock

 

[SV-97]

Put a real edge on the shuffler today... aaaaand messed up

Jammed some ceramics into it right at the end and had to do it all over again

But now it actually cuts stuff also rocking the #81 in natural micarta today

 

[Half/Stop]

Today I’m Totin a Prime Minister and a Senator! Hope y’all have a great Friday!

Yes, those Deco CRKTs are from the same designer. I would have ordered both, but they only had the pearl one in stock. How do you like the odd point on yours?

I got mine cheap from an on-line purveyor of field glasses after the discontinuation, though I had admired it at full price in person. I have to admit that so far I've mostly just looked at it, but the inboard point almost makes the actual point redundant for cutting into things, and is good for slicing tiny things on a board. It deserves more use and carry than I've given it. Lord knows it's light enough.
I don't remember why I didn't get one like yours. Maybe too flashy for me.

 

[screened porch]

I love the Kutmaster!

Thanks. I love it too. It's a Tungsten Stainless I found last summer.
