[Half/Stop]

These two for me this morning. A Tidioute 92 Talon with spear blade for the pocket and a Buck 309 from the Camillus years for the watch pocket!

For all I know that could be the right answer. It definitely lines up(I just googled "Dom gamefowl"). I know I specifically asked about the Dom in another thread, but no one really seemed to know. I've always thought it was a weird name, Roundhead and Shuffler I can understand, Dom though.. Haha. One thing I do know is that they're really great knives!

I never got past "domina" or "dominatrix". Never would have guessed chickens.

First time ever carrying.

I drug the edge across a piece of wood this morning to rid myself of a wire edge and then resharpened (do believe it worked). Slightly lighter knife to carry in summer shorts. Good day

A gentleman's gem, Dean. Simply elegant, as well as, elegantly simple.

Goodness, time is flying... 2015 ? seems like yesterday

That's one gorgeous knife, Dean!! I see Schrade eyes !!

Thanks Dean, cool pic

Thank you, Stuart, Gev and Jack.

Today, I'm carrying my I*XL Barlow.

Old pic because it's been raining since Saturday afternoon. We got 7 3/4" so far & up to 4" more in the forecast for today & tomorrow.

My only true hope was that it was short of Dominique Tipper.. I loved her in The Expanse.

I knew that was a long shot, though, haha.

We are, also, mired in a monsoon, so I had to run outside with this pair of Queens for Totin' Twosday pics between showers. Even though there was a break in the downpour, the oak tree I was under continued to drop "moisture" on me and the Queens. They are two of my favorite EDCs: model 31 large congress (1961-1971) and model 38B stockman (1976).

I snuck out with my trusty #66 for a little fishin' this morning ...
The fish were there, my presentation was good, but my timing sucked today... Missed 6 of them little buggers!!!



Can you see the fish in there? Trust me, they're in there

The antithesis of the peanut today. More like a Brazil nut.

Beautiful snakewood, is that a 53?

I’ve got an A. Wright barlow with me today.

This was new in the mail yesterday, I cleaned out the gunk and the rust, sharpened it and am now carrying it. I like the grinds on these old imperials, they are thin as an opinel.



Some say opinels are the gold standard of cutting (and they are excellent), but if you take a look at many pre war knives that haven't been sharpened away the kind of "opinel thin" grind is common on many of them. Opinel is just the only one that has kept doing it right all this time. Why do makers have such thick blades on pocket knives most of the time? Thick blades aren't necessary, they make the knife not cut as well and it takes more effort to sharpen a thicker piece of steel and it won't get as sharp. Thin blades aren't as durable? Maybe, but this one is doing fine after all these years and it's not broken, bent or warped.
