@Ickythump[/USER] Nice picture of your 2921,as you can see some of the lovely brown in that Utica bone. Mine are dark, almost black.

- Stuart

Thanks! Really liking the Coffin Jack Pattern..these are pretty dark as well..they look black as pitch indoors..they come "alive" in natural sunlight.

Thanks, Half/Stop , These bone covers are beautiful..and the jigging is so well done..Falling in love w/ these black box Winchesters...

Thanks again, fellas

When I was a kid, there was a children's TV programme called 'The Herbs'. All the herbs were characters - Lady Rosemary, Sir Basil, Bayleaf the gardener, and Tarragon the dragon!

Absolutely delightful, Jack. Thank you for the experience.

Warm weather continues, so these small, flat and light knives are a joy to carry when dressed lightly. How you dress (jeans vs. light trousers with slash pockets) makes a real difference when choosing daily carry.

Nice knife! What you said about weather and knife carry is how it goes with me. When summer comes, I almost always carry small and light knives. Winter is for carrying those larger ones.


Out hiking the trail today with these two knives.

I missed out on buying one of those 48s. So many times I was so close to buying one, and then they were gone. Back then, I wasn't interested in owning or carrying a single blade traditional, since the idea of multiple blades of different kinds in a single knife was what drew me to this forum in the first place. Now, it's what I carry more often than not. That stainless elk 48 is "just right" in so many ways.

Definitely a great knife! I’ve told this story before, so apologies to those who have heard it. I bought that 48 just before my son was born in 2012, thinking it might be my last knife purchase ever! Little did I know that it would open up the flood gates...
I generally carry it for his big life events. It accompanied me to one of his school functions today. The w&t isn’t quite what it used to be since his little sister knocked it off the counter one day, but it’s still “just right” it so many ways.

Thanks Jack! You as well!

Thanks mate

Capital pair, r8shell, the flame on your stag complements the ivory Key Keen Kutter.

I carried the awesome 77/43 combo all weekend, while I played in the Adirondack Mountains. The 77 still goes everywhere with me, and the 43 is just eminently useful and perfect for outdoor work.

...

Pair with primo patina, Buzz!

...
I know what you mean my friend! Me too, on both counts! That's a great-looking Soldier

Thanks, Jack.

...
Thanks, GT. He'd laugh at the idea of a "shrine"

That makes it even better!

Beautiful pics everyone! Been carrying my 66 a good bit; it is such a useful pattern.

Sexy Sixty-Six Stockman, Ken! What's the background building??

Thanks ! Small pen blade

Thanks for the additional info, Steve.

Thanks, and those are some real great Carries this week.

Kind of you to say so, sir!

...

Thanks for the happy update on the do-it-yourself fix of your slimline trapper, @HFinn !!

I do like the SAKs, but that worm groove Colonial "is the bomb"!
... - Stuart

Thanks, Stuart; I'll NEVER forget my first. (Although I should probably find a duplicate that I can carry without worrying about losing it. )

Thank you for your comments, Gary! To not answer your question, I like both the single blade and two-blade teardrops. I have only 1 of 5 that is two-bladed, so that may be a kind of answer. The four knives you showed today are quite the SAK and camp knife grouping!

Today, one of each of my knife passions: Teardrop and Barlow. (I have a lot of stock knives, too, but let's not go there.)

Thanks for the feedback, Dean; I have to do a better job of coordinating the components in my rotation schedule. There's often some undesirable redundancy! Passionate pair in your picture!

Today it's this one. It was my wife's introduction to my knife hobby. ...

Cool story, @lambertiana !!

This seems like a simple choice for Wooden Wednesday.

- Stuart

Almost all the knife you'll ever need sometimes!!

What brand stockman is that, Steve? Aggressive spey blade!!

Bow before the Ancient of days!

Today, I am carrying my Beer Scout Knife. The reason is simple. It was my grandmother's favorite knife in my collection! ... She passed away yesterday. At the house her and my grandfather built. With loved one surrounding her. What a remarkable woman.

Sorry for your loss, Taylor. I lost my grandmother to cancer also, about 15 years ago. Cancer sucks! My wife is currently battling breast cancer. I can tell you first hand, it's physically, emotionally, and financially draining. Be grateful for all of the memories that your loved ones leave you with, and thankful for time spent with those still in your life. -Lance

Sincerest sympathies to you and your family for your loss, Taylor.
Praying for you all, and also for your wife and you, Lance. Tough times.

The wife and I just got home from our Olympic Peninsula adventure last night after 9 long hours of driving. ...

Here’s the 43 helping to display the staggering diversity of the Olympic Peninsula ...

Sounds like you had a great time, Karl! Your pics are fantastic, and remind me of one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Leave It To Beaver!!

Tried to post photo, not very good with technology. Current favorite is a Case amber bone stainless steel trapper. I usually alternate with a Case CV mini trapper. Sometimes carry both.

Welcome to The Porch, @Prester John !! Couple of capable knives you're carrying!

...

Show off your vintage hand held school bells and old traditional knives

You're looking at mine, Gev! Great photo, and entertaining "setting of the scene".

My rotation schedule has even more redundancy than I realized! Two sowbelly stockman examples in my pockets this week.

Thanks, Jack! I sure did.

 

[rswanson]

I don't carry this knife very often but it's been a little rainy and gloomy lately...this one always picks me up.

 

[The Fort]

Praying for you all, and also for your wife and you, Lance. Tough times.

Thanks Gary! Much appreciated! Tough times don't last, tough people do!

Nice knives, r8shell, and a fabulous old rosemary bush. I could smell it through my monitor.

LOL! Feels like it should be Nice pairing Rachel

Thanks! Certain knives just go together. Not matching, but complementing.
I spend far more time coordinating my knives than my outfits.
