It's a beautiful day on the hill. May do a little fishing or a little lawn work and will have these, and maybe more, with me;

nice knives... love that leather sheath :cool:
Thanks Jake. That sheath was made by Paul Long, sheath maker extraordinaire. The fixed blade is a Jerry Halfrich and the small WT is from Joel Chamblin. I carry and use them a lot.
 
Holy crap that knife is amazing.

I know right? He keeps posting it to make us jealous :grumpy:
:o

Anyway I got this with me today, and pretty much every day. Burnt grizzly cut #73. It's picked up a few bad scratches from when I dropped it once, since I took this picture..

I live in leatherworking country. I have seen and made many things, but nothing to that level. One day maybe half as well made as that piece.
 
This 2011 CV Chestnut Bone Peanut I rec'd from my son for my 50th birthday a couple of weeks ago:thumbup: Headed to my dads house by the river to catch some big sized small mouth bass! Boy they put up a good fight:)

Still the same as I was carrying last Wednesday -- GEC Northfield Powderhorn with jigged, green antiuque, bone, covers.

I should have one of these Powderhorns coming via USPS today with Ebony covers. If so, I'll drop it in my pocket tonight and carry it for a few days.

As always, nice looking knives guys.
 
Bulldog Jack today

I've got a couple of these Jacks, sort of Teardrop. They come in some very good colours (like this one) but I can't get much of an edge on mine. Maybe I was unlucky?

Today, GEC Liner Lock 73 in Carved Stagbone. It can handle heavy tasks this knife. I was up a large Pine securing nest boxes with rope that's tough, not for the GEC though....
 
Today I had my new woddenhandled Otter Messer Sodbuster with me. I don´t have any pics til now. But I think I gonna make a comparison to the famous Case Soddie. (with some pics) ;)

Kind regards
Andi
 
I never thought when I traded for this big fellow that I would post it in this thread. But I was wearing jeans for the short while I had to go in to the office earlier this morning, and I have been doing yard work since. So, this is my Saturday carry.

Fausto, Looks like you're very well provided for there! That's an enviable night shift:thumbup:

What more could a man want: Fruits, nice snack, decent beer, good pocket knife? Well, maybe not everything.....:D

Just went out in the car to get some late night provisions, no knife in my pocket BUT my car's knife is a Böker Whittler in carbon, Green Washboard scales, there may be a Victorinox multi tool lurking inside the car too.....

Regards, Will
 
Hey will, do you got a pic of that #73?


Paul, great to see another peanut in action. :thumbup:
I am still carrying in the yellar nut in CV.

Will,
I will tell you about the beer later. Haven't tried this one yet. Getting into the world of "real" beers is like getting into traditionals: you think you've seen enough, and still get surprised as new ones keep coming...
But my GEC #25 will protect me anyway :)

You've had a busy day. Killing snakes, working at the office, doing yard work -- you need one of those beers "quattromori" is showing off.

Nice Hogan.
 
Thanks Ed. "killing snakes" . . . yeah, Johnny saved me from further embarrassment by pointing out my hasty error on that one.

Here's an update on the Hogan. I had decided to use it primarily for food prep slicing tasks, since it is too large to comfortably pocket carry. After yard work I relaxed on the screened porch, and used it to slice an apple for a refreshing treat.

Later this afternoon I used it in dinner preparation: primarily slicing onions and checking the boiling potatoes for done. It is starting to develop a nice, natural patina.

Oh, and I have a tasty Allagash Curieux chilling in the fridge for an even more refreshing treat later this evening!
