Primo stag on that barehead 1-blade folder from Sheffield, Stuart! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: I can't make out the name of the maker on the tang, though.

Had a chance to break out the Spartan today. The weather is perfect to stage some nice photos of this hardwood beauty.

The Madronas were happy to oblige, too! :)

Thanks again for this beautiful tool, 5K Qs 5K Qs !!!
You're welcome, @Benson X ! :) Looking good; I hope you get enjoyable service from that hardwood Vic. :cool::cool::thumbsup:

Sorry if I posted twice! No more bourbon!
:D:D

These two today, hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend.

Delightful duo, Tom! That ebony BSK is top-of-the-line IMHO! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thanks GT, nice pics!

My rainy Sunday carries:

Thanks, Tom. :) Well-matched fixed blade and folder! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

Heading to a wedding of a colleague of mine. Carrying my classy Churchill and Lannier.
Holy Toledo, Joshua, those two really match on cover colors! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Patio time!

That blue denim knife is a real stunner! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

I’m sure I’ve missed a bunch of nice knives posted today. I’ve been after it since 7am and we finally got a much needed shower and a quick evening meal. :eek: I’ve been carrying the 74 Orange Delrin Mustang and the Buck Jigged Bone Canoe both with stainless blades. I’ll have to say this about the Buck Canoe, I believe it to be the sharpest knife out of the box I have ever bought! Both blades are scary sharp! I am impressed! :D

Sounds like you'e earned some rest, Ron! :eek::thumbsup: That looks like a useful stainless couple, and I'm glad you're pleased with the sharp Buck canoe! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Thanks GT! :) Glenn is the artist all I did was supply the canvas! :thumbsup: :)
:):thumbsup::thumbsup::)

Thanks for the kudos, GT. I took my pattern classification from B. Levine's 1985 Guide: if the knife is over 4" and does not have symmetrical bolsters, it is an English Jack. I do like that modded BF knife - nice choice.

We don't see that combo every day here on The Porch - very cool! :thumbsup::cool::cool:

By the time that I got outside to take a pic of today's totin' choice, daylight had become a fractious foe for photos. Apologies for both shadows and reflections on the VANCO Indianapolis pen (1888-1940).

Great-looking pen knife, Stuart! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: VANCO is a new maker for me. :rolleyes:

Today's carry is all Buck.
A 110 on the belt, with a 301 and 389 in the pocket.
That's a trio that gives you a multitude of blade choices! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

My yellow Delrin tribal lock is pretty much my constant companion at home these days, carried in a Case horizontal belt sheath. However, the big drop point blade isn't always ideal for smaller tasks requiring more precision, so I've taken to carrying a peanut, small stockman, or etc. to complement it. For the last couple of days I've been supplementing it with my jigged chestnut bone swayback jack. I had the patina on the jack pretty uniform until I decided to use it to spear and eat some peach slices this morning... :p

Another guy with a couple of knives that offer so many options together! I've been a fan of the little SBJ for quite a while, and I'm quickly becoming a Tribal Lock supporter, Ace! :thumbsup::cool::cool:

Lotta Rough Riders in my pockets this week! :rolleyes:
Canoe of the Week is RR lockback canoe:

Think I’ll carry this dude for awhile. The Ryu gets a break. Ryu doesn’t fit well in the H&T pouch. The backspring on the lockback is light enough that the fit of the pouch pushes the blade into the spring. So foiled my “permanent carry” plan. Which is prolly not bad since, if I be honest with myself, I probably never have a permanent carry. Sure, some see more than others (including this guy), but not permanent.

Sitting on my newly finished kitchen table. It’s not perfect but the wife is happy. Used to be a very light color.

Thanks, GT, and apologies for lack of ID. It's a W.H. Wragg (Sheffield, 1871-1983) English jack.

Great-looking pen knife, Stuart! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: VANCO is a new maker for me. :rolleyes:

New to me, too, but long gone from the industry.

Canoe of the Week is RR lockback canoe:

Yep, that'd be my choice, too.
