Finally slogged through all the posts since I left last Friday, There have been some incredible knives, scenery, and stories posted!! I was lucky to be able to click "LIKE" as much as I did without a cramp. Today, I'm totin' twin Schrade Walden 2OTs for a two-fer on Twos-day. I'll be indoors most of the day (rain in our future here) and they'll ride in separate pockets. The Case 6207 will handle any cutting duties.

My newest: It doesn't have as lively figuring as some I've seen, but I'm amazed by how matched the sides are. Were they split from the same piece of wood?

It looks dark and somber indoors, but really pops in bright sunlight.

It looks very nice! I think that is the best matchup I’ve seen on any of Great Eastern’s Ironwood!My newest: It doesn't have as lively figuring as some I've seen, but I'm amazed by how matched the sides are. Were they split from the same piece of wood?

Thanks! I've never really been bothered by mismatched covers, but there's something so neat about a perfect matchup like this. When I was editing the pictures to post, I kept getting confused about which side I was looking at.It looks very nice!

He sure does nice work, doesn't he? I like smooth white bone, and it looks great on that Barlow!Carrying this Craftsman barlow refurbished with smooth white bone by Glennbad.

Are those horn handles on both Queens, Stuart? Delightful dark duo!Sorry to read that the fishing was less than ideal from a catching perspective.

Good lookin' pair, Jack. I have almost bought one of those Swaybacks about 100 times, I don't know why I never did.A LOT of people have said that over the years!I think Penny has got even worse as he's got older, Steve Ignorant was supposed to be a nicer guy. I saw the Poison Girls a couple of times, but I can't remember if Crass were on the same ticket of one of those gigs or not. I've often been to gigs, and actually missed one or more of the bands!

Thanks for the French knife info, Jer.(A heart wounded with "desolate languor" is serious!

WW, those are precious heirlooms you've got there, @kfalk ; congratulations!!
Luminous lambsfoot, Mike!
That IS a hard question, Dean. I probably use the Minichamp the most - scissors, wharncliffe blade, ink pen, nail file - although the knife doesn't really have any special memories attached to it. The lambsfoot was a surprise gift from @mrknife and has the Guardians association; it's used quite frequently these days (but I'm thinking of switching it for a rosewood lambsfoot that my wife and daughter got me in York a year ago that I enjoy using more and has the family connection). The SBjr came from a BigBiscuit GAW before his first surgery when he had the GAW to ask for prayers, and I've been using it as kind of a prayer reminder or "rosary" or something ever since. But the scrimshawed Rough Rider small stockman may be my favorite, although I rarely actually use it; it represents an attempt to integrate my vocation and my avocation, and I strive to bring together aspects of my life that way!
Nice "Porch" embroidery!!Are you still as taken with the sowbelly as the day you got it?
Congrats, @Vaporstang ; very attractive yeller stockman!Pearl is a persuasive personality!
A pair of fine fotos of your knives, Jack!That "Big Red" lambsfoot is striking!
Riveting, Ron!
Promising pair, Jeff!I'm still a little concerned that a superb sowbelly was sacrificed for your inventive creation
, but there's no doubting the uniqueness of what you dreamed up in that Beerbelly!
Are those horn handles on both Queens, Stuart? Delightful dark duo!Sorry to read that the fishing was less than ideal from a catching perspective.
Congrats, Karl!Looking forward to seeing your remaining two new arrivals!
Impressive glamour shot,cigarrodog !!
That's a splendid vintage knife,mitch4ging !!
Holy Cow, Dean!!What a looker!

I might have forgot seeing a band or two, myself.
In regards to the Winchester, thank you. Old knives look better that new knives, IMO.
Mo patina mo better.
It's baaaaack

Blandine Bellavoir. Though if I meet Audrey Fleurot first (and she reads BladeForums), I hope she'll take that as a challenge. Dreaming is Free, in the words of the prophet Debby Harry.(A heart wounded with "desolate languor" is serious!Who's the babe??
