Nice old Farmer, Gev! Great pic too!

I switched out the Shapleigh toothpick (on right) of yesterday for an E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter toothpick today (for dental hygiene reasons only). I picked out the large Kissing Crane (Robt. Klaas, 1980) gunstock stockman to carry for Stagurday. E.C. Simmons was purchased by Shapleigh in 1940 and continued to use Simmons' trademarks for a secondary line of knives. I think that this one was made prior to the sale, but cannot confirm that (so far). The picture does not show it well, but the Simmons has a sabre-ground blade.

Some fine looking old knives, Stuart! I especially like those Toothpicks. Great images too!

I'll be happy when I can shut down the gas stove in my basement for the season. We're averaging 20 degrees lower temps then normal. We're usually in the 50s by now.
I think I picked up the color of the blue dyed Maple Burl in this image pretty well. This little Dozier would easily handle 90+ % of my daily needs.The knife nut in me won't let that happen though.

That NKCA is a real gem....wow !!! The E.C. is magnificent. The bone is pure honey and will take a toll on your teeth, so be careful

Much appreciated kind words, Sir !!! The heat coming off that Dozier should take off the chill. Stay warm and have a great weekend !

I was scrounging around in my desk today and ran across this knife. So, it has become my new carry knife along with the Barlow I showed a few days ago.

Nice find! Those late 70s jigged Appaloosa bone knives are great looking knives, in my opinion.

One of my former students marries a Marine pilot today. I’ll be pocketing these two beauties for the wedding and reception.

I wish the Farmers around my country place were more like this and less like Yeti

A man who own that knife and is able to picture it so cleverly, has attained contentment

Regards, Will

My usual crappy photos but these three are along for the ride today.
Ulster, Queen and a Camillus.
The Ulster has a lazy main blade but boy is it sharp.
Queen in D2 with just great scales.
The Yello-Jaket series is a favorite of mine. Getting harder to find but just a solid knife'

Premier Pruner, Gev. It looks like so mellow. Do you have an estimated date of manufacture?

Gevonovich Thanks for comments and for showing some great stag yesterday and today. @Jack Black and @sitflyer thanks for the kind compliments. Will Power Stunning Queen City stag and bonny Boker bone, Will. @SteveC Impressive Imperial and captivating Camillus, Steve. RDaneel Thanks, and that's a gorgeous Case stockman. Copperberry What a loving gift that beautiful damascus Case is, thanks for sharing. @Leslie Tomville I'm sure that GT, the commodore of canoes, has capsized over the classic Case craft that you floated into this thread. @joeradza Staggering stag on that case, Alan. Ans @r8shell , you do have a collection of characters with you (the KA-BAR took my breath for a moment). It looks like the set of farm/work knives that you picked up is working out well - handsome knives.

Thank you, Stuart.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Stuart, these knives ooze character. I’m jealous!


Today I received my beaver tail 43. I love it. What better place to photograph the two wooden 43s than in my wood shop!

That’s current. We had a good snowfall that started Monday night and continued all day yesterday.
Personally, I'm enjoying it. I guess the novelty effect hasn't yet worn off for me.

That's great bt . I pilfered this photo off a weather website showing spring in the village of Edale, where I start a lot of my walks from, on Easter Monday.

It does though now seem that most of the UK is spring-like.
Except for Scotland....

Hope you enjoyed the snow

I don't know the est. date of manufacture, Dean. Jack or Lyle would know better than I. It really is a great old knife. Thank you !!

This lil' wharncliffe by Loveless and Lone Wolf knives is the epitome of what a small unobtrusive pocket knife wants to be, the thin grind just separates atoms. It is such a great slicer it does a majority of my package and mail opening, slices all my cardboard for the fire or recycle and it's think enough to peel and cut and apple without breaking it.

I've had this in my pocket continuously for at least 3 years now so it's been put through it's paces and has earned the true monicker of EDC.
