That knife is exceptional !! Great necklace too

Thanks Gev. I'm really enjoying the lanny's in this smaller form. The necklace brings me spiritual strength as it is a cherished gift from a wonderful group of Suspects after my son passed. Its inscribed with his name and I had it blessed when my wife and I converted to Catholicism. It's a symbol to me of the power of love and the spirit of life.

I especially like the knife in the smaller form as well. I was captivated by the necklace and now I see why Talisman

[RDaneel]

There are so many great looking knives that have been posted just since last night!

I'm carrying my latest Case Teardrop today.

 

[TheChunk91]

I went with something a little different while working in the yard today.

 

[T. Erdelyi]

I love to see the old steel bein' used. The fixed blade looks like it has Winterbottom Bone scales, could it possibly be an old Queen? So many knives looked like that blade just using different scales and that Western Stockman looks well loved and appreciated.

Thanks. The fixed blade is an old utica kutmaster and indeed has bone handles. It has a really neat etch that's kind of visible but no stamp. Very thin blade, thinner behind the edge than many pocket knives. It makes me wonder why so many pocket knives are made with such overly thick blades, this western stockman has thicker blades than the utica and doesn't cut as well.

I am not immune to peer pressure.

Devastating duo, Rachel; your Esquire is exquisite!

Marked my pencil, I always do this, the pattern has no meaning.just something I do.

That's a cool use of your Buck canoe, MH.

Superior old scout, P&G!

...
Carry for today, a rainy day...

Charming couple, mitch4ging !! I recognize the Case, but what's that fancy stockman??

Totin' a terrible beauty. This Keen Kutter (E.C. Simmons, 1870-1940) equal end jack is a good example of the lustrous look of celluloid covers (tortoise shell here) and the daunting danger that lurks therein. ...

... Well, it's cleaned up enough to carry today. Might as well, as it isn't going to improve with age.

- Stuart

You've got it looking good, Stuart! That tortoise shell celluloid is blazing like the subject of the patch in my next quote, of @mb> 's post!!

I’ve been so satisfied with 78’s, it’s been a while since this one has been out of the drawer. Still about my favorite blade style.

Terrific cutlery right there!

...
These two (pile sides today), along with my "at all times" Cadet.

Phenomenal pair, Jeff (trio counting your Cadet)!

Came across an archery range while hiking today. Targets are (imitation) animals & dinosaurs. My I*XL Barlow was happy to pose.

Dean, I appreciate your willingness to risk your personal safety to dodge the arrows headed toward these targets to bring us the pics!!

Had these two with me today

Both the stag lambsfoot and the Vic punch cattle knife with bottle-opener are supreme selections, Jack!

Thanks, GT, it (at 3 1/8") really is. Your cadre are pretty darn nice (that's pretty + darn nice), especially the Cadet and Kutmaster.
- Stuart

Thanks for the comment, Stuart.

That one makes me smile ! It has all you need

All I need, and so much more! Thanks, Gev.

...
5K Qs , according to the dots its a 1974 model, I found it in a house we will be refurbishing for the mortgage company. ... Since I cleaned it and rebeveled the edge, I've found myself using quite a bit.

...

Your sowbelly is sensational, sir!!

View attachment 920872 I have had a few requests for some additional info on this knife. It is an Amherst Cutlery Crown Jack with D2 blade, stainless hardware and mammoth ivory covers. F&F is superb as is the action. Very fine knife

Thanks, Jamie.

Thank you! A quality quintet of pocket cutlery you have there, Gary! The coin with the square hole is called a Chon in South Korea where I got it. That one is from the Korean peninsula many, many years ago. They were used in China and surrounding nations for many hundreds of years and are ubiquitous in flea markets and antique stores in South Korea (and probably also in China). I have another one in better shape that predates the US of A.
...

Thanks for the knife kniceties and the knumismatic knowledge, Dean.

Yes sir! Good eye. I bought it for two reasons - the lovely old cocobolo (I think) handles, and the fact that the blades were hopelessly ground on so I could reshape them with a clear conscience....

on that Stockman! Yellow delrin is good delrin.
...

Thanks for the confirmation and the compliment, Jeff.

Yes I did make the sheath and I do wear it on my belt as here in California fixed blades must be fully unconcealed.
I actually made the sheath out of a Honer harmonica belt case that my dad had bought for my grandfather. He never used it and neither did I so I figured why let the leather go to waste.

Decided Monday evening to add a lanyard hole with tube made from a .22 casing.

You make some cool, creative stuff, Hickory n steel !!

I surround the stump with things I find on my walks and other places I guess I have a Bower bird gene ...

Back home from Southern Indiana and have had this in my pocket today . Like this knife a lot . ...

Harry

Definitely a likable knife, Harry, to say the least!

Good idea, I have to try this. Thank's! So you melted the wax, packed it in the pivot area and then worked the blade back and forth? It did not get sticky?

I don't think I packed it in, but I did drip more than a couple of drops of melted beeswax into the pivot area with the goal of "sealing" the wood there. I haven't noticed any stickiness.

...
Carrying these two today

These two for me today!

Splendid pairs, Jack & Ron! I'm always impressed with the scratted covers on your Ancient, Jack, and the checkered covers on your 78(?), Ron.

...
This is my most carried GEC knife, and what I am taking today. ...

Tough to beat a 2-bladed toothpick, John!

...

Jeff, that's an outstanding stag Churchill!

Today to not escape the rule of the week, I continue with the Portuguese!!!

Grand knife with intriguing handle, @Pt-Luso . What kind of wood is that??

Luckily on this frivolous Friday, I'm wearing my pockety pants so I can carry a few, albeit small, knives. A Valley Forge, a Frost, and a Parker:

- Stuart

Triple goodness, Stuart! FWIW, my favorite is the VF 2-blades with the bird's eye pivot.

Yowza, Paul, that Old Timer is a BIG Timer!!

Camillus Medium Jack today

Such an exemplary jackknife!!

This + #77 Barlow. Killer carry!

Congrats on that Rough Rider Doubly-Improved Muskrat, Taylor!

The more, the merrier!

View attachment 921432

Cool pic!! And those Rough Rider cannitlers are very desirable knives IMHO!

First post on the Porch. This has been in my pack pocket most days since I got it, which I'm pretty surprised by.

Welcome to The Porch, @Turth ; that's a boss Bull Nose!

Thanks for all the kind words my friend, I hope you're having a fabulous weekend

 

[jc57]

Finally got around to taking a new pic of this knife. This is as-is, scratches and all, fresh out of my pocket today. It was originally Case's Amber Jigged Bone but it has been the subject of a few experiments to darken the bone. It looks a little darker in person. Between full sun and the phone's camera, it looks a lot lighter in this pic.

I haven't carried it a lot recently, but other than my green Peanut, it has booked more pocket time than any other Case knife I own. Back on duty today.

[mitch4ging]

Thank you kindly, GT!
The fancy one is a Schrade + 807UH that somebody has customized (I guess), since the only others I've seen similar has been Schrade Custom. I just got it, so I'm not sure on the history.

Charming couple, mitch4ging !! I recognize the Case, but what's that fancy stockman??

 

[SVTFreak]

My second (of 5) boy (4 boys, 1 girl) graduated. We tossing a little fais do do for him today. Stag 81 feels like the good one to help me drink some crown and grill some burgers and dogs for the family.

Today's tote has to be my #15 BS. Somethin bout looking at the tortoise acrylic covers in this one that gets me.

 

[The Fort]

A Case 47 large stockman from 1940-1964 and a Case 54 large trapper from 1965-1969 for Stagurday totin'.

- Stuart

Stuart, That Trapper is amazing! I'd love to see the stag on the pile side. -Lance

Went with stainless today since it I was going to be outside all day. It rained in the morning, then got warm and humid, as promised.
