Great stag

 

[Will Power]

My ebony Churchill and my NEW Jarrett Fleming "Pocket Pal" in Bog Oak!!! I love this new Fleming fixed blade

Really attractive pairing

Kind of interesting Ancient & Modern, both being Traditional. The next time somebody (again...) asks "What makes a Traditional?" Show these

Thanks, Will

My ebony Churchill and my NEW Jarrett Fleming "Pocket Pal" in Bog Oak!!! I love this new Fleming fixed blade

Thank you Gary, I love this blade, I like how the belly is back towards the middle (leaf shaped), giving the tip a more piercing profile. Jarrett used CPM154 Oh, and an AMAZING tapered tang

Congratulations Paul, good-looking new knife Interesting too, the blade profile reminds me a little of some of the Spanish blade patterns, though it has a more impressive belly

Jack that candlestick definitely has some nice Sambar my friend. I believe the Oakedge Lambsfoot I’m Totin today is built on the same pattern as your Wright’s Barlow.

Today I have one from Titusville and one from Sheffield!

My Lloyd has been alternating days with this Zubeng in Tamahagane since it landed.

You can see a bit of the polished edge. This full height convex cuts like a dream.

I used my GEC #18 Beagle in Oil Sucker Rod Wood to help cut some wildflowers for my fiancee yesterday.

I'm pretty excited also about my GEC #25 formerly in Unicorn Ivory Acrylic that Nick aka Birdvis rebuilt and fixed up with wooly mammoth ivory covers

Not finished in this pic, but still looking good:

Taking a trip to Texas with these two in tow. I’m thankful to have excellent in-laws to visit with the family.

Back to my #48 today.

 

[NJBillK]

Back to my #48 today.

I have always preferred that clip on the 48s. Nice knife.

I have always preferred that clip on the 48s. Nice knife.

Thanks Bill. This one is one of my favorites and probably my most carried knife. Here's a little older pic that shows the blade a bit better.

I'm totin' two distant cousins for Twosday: a Schatt & Morgan hunter (1903-1932, 5.25") and a Winchester trapper (1989, 4"), both with Queen connections. Go big or go home (or something like that).

Unfortunately, the beautiful clear sunlight obscured the Winchester etch, the tang stamps, and the bevel of the saber grind on the clip blades. Still rather have the sun than a perfect picture.

Little project, 90% of horse carved with various pocket knives, good bulk of material around the profile removed with a dremel. Now I'm under cutting the profile to define it more. Oh some details on the face was done with a dremel, mostly to sand and soften lines

That's some impressive whittling, MH!!

Thank you, the wood is "Carrasco", a species of oak bush!!!

Thanks for the link, sir!

Talon in Ebony, a truly wonderful present from Ken K in Canada, great pity he seems to have ceased posting Does anybody know anything about him lately?

Regards, Will

Will, I looked back to find the last time Ken @Itsasportsbar appeared here, and coincidentally it was a year ago yesterday. I don't know any recent news, but he mentioned about a month before his last post that he had his gall bladder removed and was recovering slowly from that. Rather worrisome.

This week I’ll be carrying my Case 6318, Amber Bone Medium Stockman.

That's an attractive classic, @Ratbert .

A couple of old favorites today. Second only to my old Boy Scout knife, and a fishing knife, Schrade Trappers and this 33OT jack are my oldest patterns.
Just about the perfect pair to me.

Bet those Old Timers have been Good Timers, too, Jeff.

Thanks, Gary, I needed it for sure. Tomorrow it is back to the salt mines.
...
Totin' the Guardian's Lambsfoot today.

Bonny black lamb, FBC! Hope the return to the mines didn't leave any salt in your wounds.

Thanks a lot pal, the Uncle Henry was a kind gift from Randy a while back
...
Hope everyone has a great week

Randy certainly is a generous guy!
Versatile green/black pairing, Jack!

...
I’m Totin these two this morning. Hope everyone is off to a great week!

Study in contrasts, Ron!

Today in my pocket is this little GEC # 14...

Grand little knife, Senhor Pinto!!

Picked this up a couple of days ago from a second hand tool vendor. In fact I saw this a few weeks ago and wasn't going to buy what I thought was a pretty standard rosewood handled, sheep foot with an odd shaped blade. But now, having re-profiled the blade and polished the handle to reveal what I think is either green horn or possibly stained bone, I'm really glad I did. Interestingly one side of the tang is marked Joseph Allen & Sons, Sheffield and the other GPO 1960. From the research I've done it appears the company made knives for the GPO since the 1930s when they also owned the telephone services in Britain as well as the postal service. The majority of these knives were used for stripping cable but few of the examples shown are of this quality and none of this particular pattern which I think would have started life with a larger sheep foot blade which, I suppose, would have done the job. Anyway, I'm very glad I went back for this one, the blade has a lovely patina and I love the green scales.

Congrats, @Blake the Blade ! That's a fascinating vintage knife!

Awesome example of Osage Orange!!

Brand new and unmolested...

Congrats on the elegant new ebony mini trapper, John!

...
In the background I'm listening to what is almost a roar of 17 year Cicadas ...

Some interesting history. ...

Sorry for the ramble folks!
...

Thanks for the riveting and informative post, Gary!

Back from vacation and about 20 pages behind on this thread

Welcome back, Ken! As usual, an enchanting knife and photo!

Piscatorial pulchritude, Gev!!

Carrying this (new to me) old Catt today!

That is one phenomenal, charismatic Catt!!

This morning, I helped a friend move a 330 lbs. gun safe into his house and up a flight of stairs. Was possessed by grim terror and burning muscles most of the time. My trusty Imperial barlow really impressed him when it came time to "remove" the cardboard shipping carton. Now, I'm helping another buddy work on his track car - a little less stressed.

Sounds like you're having a rich, full day, Stuart, including champagne, no less!

Thanks GT, terrific threesome you're showing there today my friend

Thanks, Jack.

...
For fun, and to entertain my granddaughters, I gathered up several hundred of the discarded cicada exoskeletons, and mounted them - using their little hooked feet - on a window screen as if they were racing to the top.

I am easily entertained.

I envy your easy entertainability, Jeff.

Yes, identical and with the same serial number, but with different names. Both are 3 1/8".
Those are a trio of classics that you are totin' today. Good on ya'.
- Stuart

Thanks for the measurements and the compliment. Stuart.

Simple, elegant, superlative!

Took the old fellas to work today,found a new trinket. Soviet helmet with headband and chinstrap. Now we can protect the motherland!

Where the heck are you working??!?

Thanks, Gary! Nice Barlow, the design of the clip blade is my favorite.

Thanks, Dean. I happen to really enjoy the shape of the pen blade.

...
Thanks as always for the comments on my daily carries. It is always appreciated!

I sure enjoy seeing what you and our fellow Forumites are carrying each day!

...
Nice ones, Gary!
...

Thanks, Mark.

5K Qs , thanks for the compliment. I just rapped it with some wax twine. Doesn't do much but I like the way it looks.

Thanks for the info; I totally agree on the looks.

Thanks Gary. That Barlow is a sweet lookin' knife.

Today

Thanks, FBC. Marvelous Mam!

Useful classic!
