Thanks for your generous compliment, Dean. That spearpoint #14 TC Barlow is a sweetheart!

- GT

You are quite welcome and thank you!

These three today.

Nice to see an 881Y getting some love.

 

[Will Power]

Had this old thang about me today

 

[r8shell]

My research shows that tang stamp to be from 1850 or earlier, Rachel!
Definitely qualifies as a golden-ager! Glad you like it!!

Wow! I like to carry knives that are older than I am. This one is three times my age!
Thank you so much!

That knife is older than anyone!

Carrying one of my favorites this weekend, #15 Farm Boy in Antique Yellow jigged bone.

If you have to work on saturday, might as well carry a good knife!

 

[Pàdruig]

Just have a single blade with me today. Sticking around the house didn't really warrant much else.

Was able to land a 78 in Ironwood and it is a real treat. Many thanks to @Leslie Tomville for making it available to me.

That Ironwood is sweet stuff, Dylan!!

Thank you, Charlie! I am very, very pleased with it.

I'm a sucker for knives with an anchor "shield", and have had my eye on a set of three Cannon knives for a while. How do you like the one you posted, MBeckett ??

Well, the steel is obviously cheap. The one pictured snaps into open position and shut, but is sloppy in the middle. There are some rough edges here and there. BUT... I think the set of three was all of $15 or so. It came in a set with a spear point and sheepsfoot. The wood used on the handles looks pretty nice and for the price, I wasn't disappointed. At the very least they're not bad to look at.

What the h. ll? I'd think twice about a dentist who employs boning knives, but maybe that just me.
- Stuart

No, it's definitely not just you, Stuart! I've always been rather dentalphobic, and when I read FBC's post, I cringed and thought, "Who'd go there??? "
FBC, thanks for the curvy comment. The Marbles sowbelly has an unusual blade combo: virtually identical blades at each end that I'd call drop points, and a spey with a curved spine:

Good-looking Diamond Jack; it reminds me a little of a Case slimline trapper, which I've discovered I like a lot!

Life is rough with no health insurance! haha.
Seriously, He is a hunter and a knife lover so we get to talk knives when he isn't working on me.
Gary, thanks for the additional pic of the Sowbelly.
I like the blade shapes on that one.

Thanks pal, beautiful Diamond Jack

Thanks Jack, I am really liking this Diamond Jack, it's verrry slicey.

Mike, I always enjoy seeing that one.

I ended up using the HJ's punch as a scribe today, it worked pretty well.

Amir Fleschwund I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your Boston Terrier pup.
I know your pain, as last Sunday was the one year anniversary of us losing our beloved Phoenix, a tuxedo cat that was a phenomenal companion. We got him out of a tree as a kitten ( a cliche, I know) and then for the next 16 years he was the best friend anyone could ask for.
Like you, I sat by his bed as the day wore on. We knew it was time and he passed while curled up in my lap, when his little heart gave out. I still get choked up when I think about him.
These little guys are family and they love us unconditionally.
Hang in there, my friend!

Today’s knife, to keep things on track.
