Someone else have a new P365. ? ? Asked question before reading all posts. Unable to delete.
That's a whole lot of handy, man! Very nice, Stuart.An easy day around the house, so just this 5 inch Gerber PK-3 Handyman (1974-1981) in 440C (though I do like their 420HC in my Gator, E-Z Out and LST). The locking screwdriver/wire stripper blade may not see much work.

Nice to put some "good will" in the bank by showing the family how useful your knives are, Shawn!The wife asked me to make a couple simple templates for her out of cardboard. Her scissors were tossed to the side approximately 0.5 seconds into the task. Split the box in half with OK/T Warthog and did the detail cut with the pruner blade of my Rancher.

You seem to have the right attitude GT, I'm sure it'll come rightThanks for the compliment my friend

Thanks for the sharpening support, Jack & FBC. I'm still more surprised when I have sharpening success than when I don't, but I hope that my expectations will shift the other direction soon....
Thanks, that Workhorse was my first GEC so it will always be a favorite.
I'm glad you are getting sharpening sorted out.

That is not a nail nick, it's a blood groove!![]()
Congrats on finding a promising candidate; splendid-looking stockman!
Looks like we share the same paranoia, Barrett!...
I was actually amazed that I could still buy that same watchband. I bought the first one at an local outdoors shop in Arkansas back in college. I had to order this one online directly from the company that makes them in Canada (the shipping cost more than the watchband), but I just couldn't believe they still made the exact same one. (Normally, my luck dictates that if I find a product that I really like, it will soon be discontinued.)

I had this WLST with me today.

That's an impressive patina from a single meal, @HFinn !Well that escalated quickly, I mean the patina after a lunch of sandwiches and mandarin oranges.

That pair looks capable of handling whatever business/busyness you assign to them.
Bodacious bone on both, buddy!!I'm carrying two kindred spirits from Case's 1940-1964 era, a pattern 35 jack and a pattern 65 SAB hunter. The jack is as clean as the day it was born, the brass liners shine. The old hunter, well, it looks like it has hunted its whole life. As you can see, the scales are chipped/cracked and the pile side can slip (I left it askew until after I snapped the pic, then "clicked" it back in place). I used it to field dress a deer this past season, but that will be its last deer for me. Still like having it in the pocket, though.

Can you say a bit more about the knife on the left. It's got great lines IMHO. Thank you. MJ.
Something old and something new.
