Western Wednesday

#657 today

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

I put this up in the newest addition thread,. But I put it on my belt as soon as I got to the parking lot, so guess I'm a totin it. Had to stop at the big "W" store this morning, Couldn't resist it anymore

 

[Pomsbz]

I was doing some edge testing with my ffg's yesterday. Realised it made a good picture for the traditional forum.

 

[Modoc ED]

I'm not going to the stock yards today but who know what might come up so the #39 again today.

 

[Chief]

Background on military items in wooden Wednesday thread if interested. Sharpened, stropped, and used, liking this ebony 83 a lot, wishing it was SS tho ...

 

[joeradza]

Finally got a knife to go with my shells.

 

[black mamba]

Alan, a knife like that could almost make me into a single blade kinda guy!

You' been killin' it lately with the acquisitions!!! Hit the lotto recently, or what!?!?

Taylor, why does that #73 look so much more desirable now that you own it???

 

[joeradza]

Alan, a knife like that could almost make me into a single blade kinda guy!

Single blades are definitely my number 1. After all you can only use one at a time. Lotto is not a bad idea.

Complementary fixed/folder pair, Paul; stellar stag on the Markesharp knife!

I'm carrying my original ebony Lambsfoot today, along with the Unicorn Ivory #25 Barrett very kindly gifted me

A second day of ebony and ivory, but with a completely different pair of knives!

One of my favourite Forum Knives for me today.

That BF stag jack is sure a pleasing knife, Will!

Today with a functional knife, unbranded, stainless steel and stag imitation!!...

That spear/clip blade combination seems unusual - I like it! And I like the imitation stag, too. Terrific trapper, Senhor Pinto!

White acrylic 48 helped me make some stuffed pablano peppers last night. It’ll accompany me today on some hot rod work and going help my oldest son get a new (to him) car to hopefully make it through college.

Sounds like you and your Great White Trapper had a full schedule, @SVTFreak !!

Can’t go long without picking up this Glennbad Western barlow...

I can understand the urge to grab that one, Wayne!

...
I'm totin' a too-smooth duo for Twosday: a Winchester trapper and a Canal Street "Pinch". Thankfully, in these pics you can see how Canal Street sculpted the covers to better fit in hand.
...

- Stuart

Smooth and gleaming pair, Stuart!!

This started out as a cougar clawed but wasn’t a great example so I modded it. It’s now more like cougar’s dinner.
...

Compelling dye job, @Camillus !

Paul my friend that is a terrific pair your showing and a beautiful photo!!! They sort of remind me of you and @Campbellclanman Duncan. One is ancient and the other has developed a nice patina!!!
...
These two for me today.

Interesting description of Paul & Duncan - which is who??
Beautiful brace of functional knives, Ron!

...
Ever seen a pig with antlers? Now you have: RR Stag Sowbelly

That antlered pig will FLY, Jeff!

Thanks Gary! I do like me some Ebony!!! That 72 is chopping some mighty tasty looking veggies my friend!

5K Qs
Thanks Gary. Nice 72. You notice how much better you eat when you have an excuse to use a knife to cut up fresh veggies?

Thanks, Ron & Alan. Sometimes I chop up a bunch of vegetables without even knowing what I intend to make. I'll have a cutting board full of chopped "ingredients" and then have to decide whether they'll become a tossed salad, or a casserole, or a soup, or a stew, or an omelet, or what??

Greatly appreciated, Gary!!! The ram's horn canoe is fantastic. I think your collection is officially getting ...large
...

Thanks, Gev. I really enjoy the "crater" in the handle on my ram's horn canoe.

Thanks, and some real nice carries you got there I've always liked the look of their jigged brown delrin though I wish they could use it with CV blades.
...

Thanks. Yeah, it would be nice if you could get any Case offering with your choice of CV or TruSharp.

...
I have these two within easy reach today. Just have to say that the Stag has become a fast favorite.

Top-shelf twosome, Dylan; I can see why you've grown fond of that stag lambsfoot!

Perfect peanut, Gary! Stainless or CV?

Thanks, Lance. That Peanut is as-ground stainless.

The same

Â

Premium pair, sir! Are you making progress on the odor problem you mentioned?

Snuck into my pocket again today.

Stunning stag, Ken, and another clever photo! But where do you get all the backgrounds you use? Do you have an extensive library of illustrated books, or a digital image site you search, or is it a trade secret??

5K Qs the buck trapper is 3 1/2". It's a good size for carry.

Thanks for the length info. IMHO, that's a great size for a trapper; I'm not much of a fan of the full-size model.

...
For me the dynamic duo of ebony and ironwood:
...

Good wood X 2 for Wednesday, @lambertiana !!

Hi all. Been awhile since I posted here. Still carrying the mighty little peanut everyday since Christmas 2016.

Impressive streak, Mike! I'm carrying one identical to yours this week, but I have NOT carried it continuously for 1.5 YEARS!

Thanks for the kind words GT !!!!!
I adjust happy to find an Old Cattaraugus at a decent price . I am retired guy on a fixed income you know .
Yes , one of my Daughters gave me the Case Russlock John Deere edition . Even though I worked for Case for 36 years , I do have 2 John Deere Lawn Tractors because Case did not make any when I needed some .
Take care my old retired friend . Enjoy your retirement . You deserve it .
Harry

Thanks, Harry. I should have remembered your lawn tractors that run like a Deere; they've appeared in your knife photos more than once, now that you mention them.

I did a 9 hour road trip with my Dad today down to the Redwoods. I brought a couple of knives with me....

....but somehow I don't think this Alox Lumberjack is up to the challenge!!!
...

That Lumberjack is an outstanding knife, @315 , but I agree that the redwoods are a bit much for it!

The newest one, of course.
Case Carhartt stockman with punch in Tru-Sharp and G10

That's a good-looking knife, Frank; congrats! (I just received a couple of Case Caliber knives with the Zytel handles, and they slightly remind me of your knife, but I don't have any photos yet.)

Ken

Charismatic Cadet 2, Ken!!

Thanks GT, three smaskers there
...
Charlie also gifted me the IXL Barlow I'm carrying today, along with my ebony 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot

Thanks, Jack. I admire the shape and color of the covers on your I*XL Barlow!

Today’s choices are a Lick Creek and a Work Horse.

What a wondrous couple of wooden Workhorses for Wednesday, Ron and Travman!!

Not sure what made me think of the Christy knife this morning, but it's in my pocket because I did.

That's a champ, Shawn!

My International Knife of the Week is a modded Opinel #8 and my Watchpocket Knife of the Week is a Colonial "beer scout" (thanks, Dave):

My Big Knife this week is a Rough Rider fish knife (thanks, Mark):

- GT

 

[Will Power]

Thank you GT. I certainly fell into the luck pond with that one

 

[Wurrwulf]

Thank you, GT! I love the stain on your Opinel #8. I need to get back to my modded #8 one of these days. That fish knife is HUUUUGE!
