[Half/Stop]

Great pairing Ron

Thanks Jack! A man can’t go wrong with a good Barlow and a good Lambsfoot in the pocket!

 

[315]

315 another 1911, rare Colt XS compact with factory beavertail safety, ambi safety, combat sites and fancy grips resting on Sparks leather. Heart is a WIP. Can't keep this TC out of my pocket.

I’d post a picture of my Detonics Combat Master(with a knife of course), if I still had it I sold it to my buddy to buy a Ruger No 1 years ago...

 

[Ratbert]

This Twosday is hotter than Hades with humidity matching the temp, so it'll be a slow and easy day for me. I need to drop by my local hardware store, so I'll be totin' these older fellers just "in case" I need to something to chat with the regulars about: a Case 02 (1920-1940) and a Case 35 (1940-1964).

- Stuart

Love the bone on that 35!

 

[5K Qs]

I really like this pattern and size " boys knife " ? and am always thankful to Duncan who sent it to me.
Two bladers are nice, but I can appreciate a good single blade.

That's a colorful pic! The black knife is aces!

Sticking with my new fave this week...

The stag gunstock is worth sticking with, Ratbert !

Thanks GT, love that case sod buster in bone. Yeah that makes winter pics much more comfortable to acquire .

My SAKs are getting jealous of the Remington scout I have been carrying, so I gave the scout a day off on Labor Day .

That black/orange combo is one of my favorite pics of yours! Thanks for the SBJr compliment. Yeah, I can see the appeal of some kind of light box set-up. I was hoping to take a few shots of a night after work today, but by the time I got home it was almost 6:30, and after I got my supper, supper for the dogs, and took them outside, it was 7:45 and there was no decent light left. It's starting to get dark early already!

5K Qs , thanks, and really liking that RR stockman, I think the ruby red color RR uses is some of the best around imho. This post has inspired me. I already decided to go with Bucks this week, your RR's inspired me to do all RR next week. And another brand each week this month. Got caught up in my vintage knives I've been neglecting my newer ones.

Sounds like a good plan, MH! Thanks for the props for the RR red medium stockman.

...
Thanks, Gary! Every one of your RRs is terrific; the stockman is indeed appealing!

Thanks, Dean. That RR stockman is another one that compares well design-wise with a 897UH.

Thanks pal, that's a splendid RR trio, cool pics too Thumbsup:
...

Thanks, Jack. I always like my knives, but don't always like my pics, so I welcome your comment.

... Anyway, carrying my usual Case Select 6207W Wharncliffe mini trapper, which is my all-time favorite among favorites, and supplementing it with this sweet little Buck 305 Lancer. ...

Versatile pair, Ace! That Wharncliffe mini trapper is a show piece!

Is it only Monday night?? Lately, my life seems to be resembling 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' time to try and snatch some sleep. Think I'll take this one along with me for Tuesday

Sensational knife, Will! Hope you can rest up soon.

Splendid slim line trapper, @Grateful !

Appreciate your comment, Gary!

The closeup shot of your soddie really shows off that excellent Case Jigging!

Thanks, Jeff. Glad you had a safe trip, and I admire your baking skill!

...
Carried this hard worker today.

Looking good, Cuz!

Notable pair, Jack!

Double stag today. Everyone seems to be goal oriented. For the rest of the month I'll carry at least two traditionals, one of which will be stag.
View attachment 978888

Sounds like a worthy goal, Alan. Exceptionally strong start with your stag twins.

In my pocket for "Trapper Tuesday"...

Is that a lambsfoot, John???

- Stuart

I think the chatting will be a monologue, Stuart, because the "regulars" will probably be speechless looking at that dazzling duo!

View attachment 978955 View attachment 978956

MAY DAY! MAY DAY! That's an esteemed pair, Leslie!

Totin' a 35 today.

Well-played, Ken! Terrific theme.

View attachment 979029

Lots of useful blades in a couple of stately packages, Darren!

Tuesday tote.

Nothing runs (or cries ) like a Deere! That's first-class, Dean!

Alox Knife this week is a Vic Secretary (thanks, Ken):


non-Alox SAK this week is a Vic Recruit (thanks, Greg):


Bailed (sort of) non-SAK this week is a Sanrenmu (thanks, Dave):

Thanks.
I really like that secretary, I love my pocket pal but figure what's the point of having cellador scales if they don't hold a toothpick and tweezers.

Real nice on that bust you carved too, I'm not good with faces at all and don't think I could ever whittle such a thing.

 

[JohnDF]

Is that a lambsfoot, John???

It's as close as I've gotten. Lol
BTW, the carving is so cool.

Thanks for the compliments. But, I didn't carve the bust. @WhittlinAway sent me that Recruit tuned for whittling (key ring attachment removed, pen blade reprofiled to straight edge and about 10˚ per side) and included the little guy Greg had whittled.

Ah I see.
It's cool nonetheless.

Thanks for the explanation.

 

[kai76]

Had these two twoday.

 

[btb01]

Anytime, my friend. While the spear on the 99 is very useful, I sometimes daydream ebony shadow pattern 99 with a clip blade.

Carried this hard worker today.

Now THAT is what a sharpening choil should be like from the factory, is that your work?

I agree. I'm a sucker for a nice, deep sharpening choil, and that's a good one!

 

[Duckdog]

Love the bone on that 35!

Thanks, I have a couple 35's in jigged black, but they ain't the same.

I think the chatting will be a monologue, Stuart, because the "regulars" will probably be speechless looking at that dazzling duo!

Than you, GT, but they got pretty chatty (and I bought two items that I didn't know that I needed). And thank you and Jack Black for your constant supportive commentary on this thread. It is, truly, comforting.

Had these two twoday.

Tip bolsters, fine jigging, and faux mammoth make that pair a powerful package, Nick. As were the potent pairs posted by Half/Stop and @Amir Fleschwund - double whammies!!

Cool pics Jack

These two for me today.

Thanks Tom, a typically terrific twosome for you there

Thanks GT, that's a nice bright and breezy trio, I have a couple of Secretary's, but they don't have that lustrous lipstick-red

It's as close as I've gotten. Lol
BTW, the carving is so cool.

@pertinux used to call that blade a Lambcliffe

Had these two twoday.

Very classy
