The little Gerber will still be in my pocket and will see the most use, but I just finished the sheath for this old A.C.co 6" butcher that arrived yesterday so I'll be carrying both for a while.

Let my put an image in (If I can figure it out).
First try:Hope this works!

Anyways, about my journey: learning to prefer traditional pocketknives.
...
I am glad to start participating.

Thanks, Stuart; I definitely concur with your opinion on the Mohawk stag canoe!

I'm totin' these two today. It's hard to go wrong with a Red Sawcut Barlow and Rosewood Lambsfoot both in the pocket!

That's a rootin', tootin', totin' twosome, Ron!

Thanks, Jack. The ebony lambsfoot and Ancient TC certainly make a handsome couple!

...It was a trip to celebrate graduating the first year, so really I didn't graduate but merely didn't get kicked out this year ...

But that's something to be proud of, too!

For Twins Thursday, I'm totin' two Miller Bros. jacks, both 3 3/4", both from 1872-1926, but with slightly different tang stamps and different shields.

Those are a couple of dudely Bros!!

Fantastic photos, Prester John and @Âchillepattada ! From what is the bull carved?

Ruby red sunfish today. (Technically the pattern is a sleeve board.)

Handsome 26, Ken, and the actual "Sleeveboard" in the ad is a nice touch!

Half/Stop yes sir, O1 blade and lock were acid washed for contrast. Had to send it back to Jared once as it was too sticky, still needs broken in.

When I was in the third / fourth grade in the early 60s, a young lady named Mary Sue (two names equals crazy) had a crush on me. She would write me notes on little pieces of construction paper and pass them to me. I would take them home and read them to my momma, who was highly entertained. At the bottom of one of the notes Mary Sue inscribed "OXOXOX". I, being a naïve little boy, read "ox ox ox" as you might describe three oxen. Momma snorted and laughed till she cried, at which point my older sister got in on the entertainment and also laughed till she cried. And of course this story spread throughout the family and I was teased relentlessly. Mary Sue had an early growth spurt, she was bigger than I, and frankly that kind of scared this timid young man. Between that and the teasing I was never interested in her. However, "OX OX OX" (gotta say it three times) became ingrained in my family as a goodbye between us that remains to this day.

Haven't seen Mary Sue since highschool, but discovered she isn't doing well, so made this pendent for her, going to mail it today, need to get letter written. Made from unobtainium bark.

Great story, knife, and pendant, @Chief !

Steady yourself GT and have a great day!!
...

Good advice , Ron.

Thank you, Gary!

On the trail today...

Exemplary knife&nature pics, Dean!

...

It’s in my pocket right now and here’s showing both sides.

Brown sugar!!

I love this side of the knife, it's a special effect!!!

Very impressive stag, @Pt-Luso !

...
Thanks GT, jings and gadzooks, I sure enjoyed your post!
...

Thanks, Jack. I can sometimes easily amuse myself, regardless of what others think.

...I have decided to go with a couple of little ones today.

Superb black/red combo, Dylan!

This pair sets the bar pretty high

...

Beguiling bone again, Paul!

...
A true treasure, GT. Maybe one of the best (or the best) all around knife.

Thanks, Stuart. My first knife was a scout pattern, and my Vic virus is probably just a result of those initial knifely experiences.

Treating myself to a Double Lambsfoot Friday!

Two lambs and a lady!

That pair should get the job done, Ron!

Just a boy and his barlow today.

- Stuart

Stuart, I always enjoy seeing your phenomenal knives, but I wonder if really I'm just an Imperial Barlow guy.

Dang! I might have to increase my guess on the amount of SAKs you own

...
Gary, how secure is that pocket clip on your mini champ?
I lost a Leatherman last fall while clearing thick brush and vines, when something defeated the pocket clip. When I discovered it was gone, I got off the tractor and looked and looked to no avail.
...

Sorry you lost your Leatherman, Jeff. I've never had any problem with that pocket clip coming off the edge of my pants pocket, even though it just hangs there by the weight of the Minichamp and usually a 2nd knife. But I also lead a pretty tame house&office existence; if I was thrashing around in a brush pile, I think the clip could easily get knocked loose.

...
Uh oh! The dreaded Ebony Weevil looks just like a ladybug!

That’s a beauty!

Recently arrived, and into my pocket. I’m guessing there will be a few of us with one of these in our pockets this Black Friday.

Congrats on the new gunstock!

I believe the bull is onyx from Mexico. Bought in San Antonio many years ago.

Cracking pics of two top-class knives Dean

Thank you, Jack.

What a terrific view, Dean, and the knives aren't hard to look at either. After having become content with not having one of Charlie's new TC Ancients, you fine folks have convinced me to have my heart set on finding one. It really is one of those knives and one of the few TCs that I have seen that really speaks to me, if that makes any sense.

I have decided to go with a couple of little ones today.

Thanks, Dylan. About the newest Ancient TC, I hope you are able to find one. If I had another one, I'd sell it to you. As you said it is a knife that speaks to you (and me)! I knew when I first saw it that I would be carrying it with no worries. It is not a safe queen.

I like your "little ones." Black and red seems to be a theme.

Both knives of distinction, Jack! Which of all your lambsfoot knives is your favorite?

Exemplary knife&nature pics, Dean!

Thanks, Gary!

Today has been another Ancient Muscadine day. I really like this one. I think it is trying to be my favorite TC ever.

 

[Half/Stop]

That's a rootin', tootin', totin' twosome, Ron!

That pair should get the job done, Ron!

Thanks GT!

Thanks GT. I'm of the same mind on an Imperial barlow. Speaks to my soul.

I've been carrying my Case 6327 small stockman for a week or so as a companion to my tribal lock and just switched over to my 6344 medium stockman. The 6344 is one of my favorites.

More of the knives I've been carrying this week.
My Watch Pocket Knife of the Week is a skinny little Colonial Jack (thanks, Mark):


My Big Knife of the Week is a smooth tobacco bone Rough Rider half-hawk:


My Free Choice Knife of the Week that I just grab on a whim instead of being dictated by my rotation schedule is a Case mini copperlock with walnut Rogers jigged bone (thanks @Leslie Tomville ):

I think your Case Mini Copperlock stands out like a shiny silver dollar GT . Great color and jigged bone IMO .

[Old Engineer]

This pair sets the bar pretty high

My friend , you have inspired me once again to carry this pair .
I can't compete with your yesterday's carry because you set the Bar TWO High . Unfortunately I only have one . Have this pair in my pocket .


Harry

 

[J0LLY71M3]

Still makes me drool

 

[Wurrwulf]

GT, your choices are a grand slam! The bone and diamond shield on the Mini Copperlock are perfect, the smooth bone half hawk is very intriguing to me since the recent thread on them, and I MUST know more about the Colonial Jack! Age? Closed length? I am smitten with that clip point and slender pen blade!

A cool summer night spent on my rear deck, a great cigar, Ivory bone TC and a new to me 2011 Geppetto ebony whittler (thanks Lance)

And my peep

And a lovely sunset
