As usual, this thread is one of my favorite places to visit on the net. Fantastic couple days of photos, these past few.

Last week of dedicated carry before I (maybe) go back to the ole' daily rotation. She was a beast today- well pressure tank replacement, zipping through shipping boxes, some planting chores, opened packaging, popped a top or two. Such a reassuring tool to carry.

This one today... Buck very literally doesn't make them like they used to. This late 70s or early 80s (440c and Micarta) 501 is nicer than any lockback you'll find this side of Taichung Taiwan

 

[SharpieB]

My new Trapper. Found it at that Wally Store today. Great knife for the $$$. I actually like the Delrin (its blue, but looks almost black in the pic)...

I have to agree. The fit and finish on this one is spectacular. This was generously gifted to me a couple of years ago, by a BF member that I had never even communicated with. We now correspond often, and I consider him a well respected friend. The Porch is a great place to hang out! Thanks Rick!

Lookin' good, Lance and you certainly are welcome. It's good to see a pic of that 703 after all this time.

I'll never forget my first Buck 703. It was my "first love" so to speak as far as pocket knives are concerned. I wasn't even looking for a knife at the time but I saw it in a display case and just had to have it. It served me well for several years back in the days when I only owned one pocket knife at a time.

I gave up tobacco in 2013 but I remember how those Padron's used to taste and your pic is making my mouth water for a fine cigar.

I've been meaning to try one of those 700 series Bucks. I think I need to ratchet up my searches, that 703 is very sweet! Seems like I can only get myself to buy Bucks at a steal... fortunately, as 15 or so I have came at less than a $20, it's just a matter of time and searching until i come across one

Hope y’all have had a great Saturday so far!

That's a beauty Ron

Carrying my Guardians Lambsfoot and this Queen Canoe today Have a great Sunday folks

British cemetaries have soul!

Indeed they do! I've visited some fantastic cemeteries in Europe to but that is one of my favourites'. It's St' Andrew's church in the village of Weaverthorpe in North Yorkshire. It's a Norman era church approximately 920 years old and it sits about 300ft above sea level looking out over the Great Wold Valley. I can think of worse places to rest eternal

Since I've barely looked at this thread Friday and Saturday, I guess this will be a trip down memory lane with posts from Thursday.

That striking contrast is always enjoyable, Jack.

Good knives Mr. GT, its collection is very large and varied, I really like IXL and also Case, as it not could be!!!

Thank you, Senhor Pinto.

...
Not exactly, the size of Wharncliffe Knives varies, but the form doesn't. The frame always has that particular shape, and just those two specific blades (Wharncliffe Whittlers are obviously different). The blade itself is much older than the pattern, which was first used by Joseph Rodgers & Sons, who named it after Lord Wharncliffe, who helped the firm secure Royal patronage. The Wharncliffe Knife is quite similar to Rodgers' Norfolk Knife

If you have a look in the catalogues sticky, there are several examples shown in the 1902 Thomas Turner catalogue

Thanks for the Wharncliffe wisdom, Jack!

Totin this new to me 78 in Golden Brown Jig Bone! And liking it a lot!

Congrats, Ron; the 78s with that checkered bone are very memorable!!

5K Qs Thanks GT! I'm pocketing that new lambsfoot again this morning, along with my 77 barlow. The combination of green and brown, of carbon and stainless, of wood and bone, etc. got me thinking of corrugation, so I snapped a pic of them with my corrugated bush:

Fantastic foot of that handsome couple, Joshua! How are you liking the performance of a lambsfoot blade?

Thanks a lot for liking my knives, there was a time when I bought Case XX only (before I started with GEC), so the mini trapper was the one I liked the most, I have three stag, two in jigged old red bone and two in jigged amber bone (one wharncliff)...

Continuing the week Case XX mini trapper, today two in old red bone (1996 and 1999)!!!

...

@Pt-Luso , your red bone mini trappers are sensational!! I can see why you like them so much.

It's going to be a big day, so why not carry a mammoth knife?

Exquisite knife, Alan, and captivating colors in the pic!!

I do admit to feeling bad sometimes, that I'm ignoring my other knives, especially my scouts. I'm the scout guy, and I'm carrying a barlow. It's like I've defected or something.
...

I have some stereotypes about some Porch denizens, and I definitely think of you as Scout Master @Buzzbait , so this 77 Barlow infatuation surprised me!

Today I have my old Camillus Cub Scout knife with me. This one is a little different in that most all of them have jigged Delerin covers this one has smooth. I fact this is the only one with smooth covers I've ever saw.

A-1 knife, Randy - lookin' good!!

I've been carrying these two for the past several days: CV small Texas jack in amber and SS peanut in pocket worn harvest orange.

Very pleasing pair, Ace!

...

Always a pleasure to see that gem, Jeff!

Little Carver today.

I look forward each day to what new knife/background pairing you'll make, Ken!

...
Thanks, Gary! I now have three Case Tear Drops.

I carried these two on my hike today. I took several photos of the Green Curly Maple Tear Drop. The I*XL also modeled for a few.

...

Photogenic pair, Dean! That green maple teardrop looks reptilian to me - superb!

...
Looks like you've got it covered GT

Lugging around a dozen knives does tend to provide blanket coverage.

Churchill and back yard chores today.

Enchanting Churchill, @GE Jr !

This Franz Hoffritz, cool little knife. Just don't know a lot about it, maybe from '80's?

Premium pen knife, @mitch4ging !!

Outstanding sowbelly, FBC! I don't know why the spey blade seems to not get its fair share of love on The Porch.

These two for me today

Fine photo of the fireworks on your Guardian Lambsfoot, Jack! (But my eyes are giving me problems. Instead of "seeing double", I'm "seeing half" of your knives! )

This is the Quotidian Quartet for me:

Thanks for your generous comments my friend I'm not sure what happened with that last one! I always enjoy seeing your Eternals Hope you're having a lovely weekend

5K Qs thanks! The lambsfoot is outstanding! Andrew ground the blade a bit thinner so it slices very well and the angle of the blade with that pointy tip gives very precise cuts. It really is well designed.

Another day of stockman comparison.
