Playing catch-up, Wed/Thurs edition; after this, maybe I can quit whining about being behind on this thread. 
Very attractive lockback.
W! It's Miller Time! 
I don't recall seeing many of the ebony first-run Ancients; the scratted bone appears much more frequently.
Very relaxing so far, and our daughter will arrive tomorrow to be with us for a week.
For me, whittling has to be ALL about the process (almost always enjoyable), not the product (almost always disappointing).
Insightful statement about the Electrician; I'm STILL trying to adjust to the idea of a pocket knife as more than a tool.
Nothing like some two-fisted lambsfooting to help maintain a grasp on reality! 
Congrats, @waverave !
But don't bother calling the doctor - Alox Pox is an incurable disease/addiction! 
(Beyond the mailbox, right? )
Here's a Colonial I'm carrying this week (and last week and next week - didn't have time to carefully select knives for vacation, and just kept the ones I carried last week and grabbed a handful of others):

I'm always surprised at the "turnover" in members here, although I suppose I shouldn't be.

Fantastic Wooden Wednesday choices, Jeff & John & KenWooden Wednesday.
Pocketful of goodies there, @coolhand68 ! The Ohta is outstanding!
Congrats on the Buck!Found this Buck 500 Duke today. ...
Very attractive lockback....
Really like the black/orange combos, Tom & Ron!...
W... a Miller Brothers swell end (or teardrop) jack. The firm went out of the pocket knife production business in 1926, so this fellow is a bit long in the tooth. Like all of the Millers that I have or seen, they were all pretty well made.

W! It's Miller Time! Very nice, and somewhat unusual here, Dean!...
Wooden Wednesday, so my Ebony Ancient is in pocket today.
I don't recall seeing many of the ebony first-run Ancients; the scratted bone appears much more frequently.Thanks, John & Ron.Thanks GT! Hope your enjoying your vacation!
Very relaxing so far, and our daughter will arrive tomorrow to be with us for a week. I think in my community 60 years ago, it was Colonial or Imperial.
Thanks, Jack. The photo is a couple of years old, but since we've vacationed in the same spot for 28 years, it's still timely....
LOL!
...
Safe and enjoyable travels, Brother Guardian!The sun is shining and the WiFi works! Liverpool:
I'll see what I can do, Dean.
For me, whittling has to be ALL about the process (almost always enjoyable), not the product (almost always disappointing). Compelling redbone couple, Leslie!!
Thanks for easing my mind with that numeric correction, Stuart.
Insightful statement about the Electrician; I'm STILL trying to adjust to the idea of a pocket knife as more than a tool. Notable Otter sodbuster!
Another stunning Scout, Paul!...

In the early hours (here), I had an incredible truth revealed to me, byr8shell , in the Guardians thread - that there was never any ham in a hamburger!

Nothing like some two-fisted lambsfooting to help maintain a grasp on reality! I always enjoy seeing either of those knives, Shawn; paired up is a real treat!...
Superb stag lambsfoot, r8shell!
Looking forward to your match-making, Alan!
Praiseworthy PAL you have, Stuart!...

Words to live by, Jeff!
Splendid pair, Tom!...
A radio jack with me today.
Hey, now, that's an all-star!
Congrats, @waverave !Maybe the "Eureka moment" is when you realize it's not backwards!I do enjoy carrying it, it's a very nice sized knife. But it always looks backwards to me. ...
Congrats, Ace; that's a beauty!Today I'm enjoying my new alox Cadet. My first alox and I really like how slim and light it is...
But don't bother calling the doctor - Alox Pox is an incurable disease/addiction! Thanks, @Aryan29 .
Phenomenal pair, Dean, and congrats on your hike!!Today was my first hike since my surgery. I felt great. It was a two knife journey.

My latest teardrop, Case bonestag CV.
(Beyond the mailbox, right? )Thanks, and I second that emotion.
Yeah, I like my Imperials (and Colonials) as well as almost any of my knives I think. The nostalgia factor is big for a geezer like me, but I also think they cut as well as any knife I've got.
Ulster scout, which has surprisingly fast become a favorite(maybe not so surprising, I did carry a Vic sak from ages 10-20), and the Imperial stockman, these old Imps take an amazing edge!
5K Qs , thanks! I have recently acquired a couple Imperials, I also got a Hammer Brand jack a lot like your Imp. Mines got some neat "covers", there's a pic on the newest addition thread.

I can only imagine!!! My recent acquisition of a vintage Buck 305 has given me Buck fever, too. The store where I bought the Cadet also had a nice selection of Bucks (as well as Vic, Case, and Benchmade). I wanted a drop point 112 so bad! But honestly, the 110/112 seem so bulky and heavy now compared with something like a tribal lock (which I carry in a horizontal sheath).

You won't notice the weight of even a 110 on your belt.
Personally, I think the heft makes them easier to use. After an hour or so, a lighter knife has my hand hurting. The 110 after a few hours, no pain.

I never realized that those 66's had a wavy shield. I just assumed it was my progressive lenses.Last run of #66 in tortoise acrylic had a wavy sheild. A little more subtle, and shorter.

Apparently your pointer finger felt sorry for your middle finger and decided to join in his misery. Hope the cuts weren't too deep.

No. It is just making me clumsy. I’ve also worn both thumb nails down by opening and closing so many knives. I may have carry just my Lick Creek Farmers Jack. That is by far the easiest pinchable knife I own.Oh, no!

I know what you mean -- my 110 dates to about 1975 and I carried it so long that I wore out the original sheath and had to buy a new one. Now it just seems a bit bulky compared with other available options. See, that's my excuse for wanting to buy a 112...
