Seem to be a bit hung up on these.

Wonderful knife and photo! The book could have been better written, but is interesting nonetheless. Very influential statesman.

 

[RDaneel]

I like it. I'm in.

Have I memtiment how much I enjoy this knife!? I really like the brass and the patina it's developing.

Real nice knife.

Btw it would appear your phone may be having the same issue mine does with BF's.

A loaner and a gift today. The stockman is @315 ’s and helped me make up some oil lines today. The GEC is a gift from @r redden and will be helping me make dinner shortly. Gonna have a little leather slip made for it when I see my buddy.

Possible, Dylan, but look what that did to the white shirt of the lad in your picture (just can't get the tune of "Alba an àigh"/"Scotland the brave" out of my head).

- Stuart

LOL! I don't recall having seen anything quite like that before Dylan!

Beautiful ebony pairing my friend

Although the first pic is disturbing, Dylan, your twin ebonies make me ebullient!

It's all about "Keeping Portland Weird" Thanks for the compliments, fellas.

My Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Joker Horn knife my daughter got for me in Zaragosa, Spain:

Always a pleasure to see the lovely horn on that Joker, GT!

Had these 2 today with me at work. Got home in time to take a pic before the sun went down.

I usually try not to get caught up in so called knife "grails" but if I ever were to seriously consider one as a contender, the Red Soup Bone TC takes the cake for me. Probably my favorite TC to date when it comes to material choice and aesthetics. A fine couple of knives and a very fine picture.

Morning folks, starting the week off with these two

Seems like you and I are traveling on the same wave length today, Jack! A very fine pairing of knives.

Cool! I look forward to hearing updates and seeing some whole knife shots of this Opinel you're tuning up, Tom.



My Peanut-like Knife this week is a Camillus 21 (thanks, Mike):

Will do, and thanks GT! Nice pic of the Camillus, and I always admire the Joker

That's a handsome jack, Tom; is it new to you??

This week I have TWO Free Choice knives. One is this mini trapper that's a by-product of @black mamba's Beer Belly Stockman project (thanks, Jeff):

The other is a Case rough black canoe (thanks, Alan), that came in this week after I had done my weekly rotation and stored away my knives, so I had no choice but to carry it all week :

Yes and no, it was a gift in 2017 that I forgot about and just "found" this weekend . Nice trio sir

 

[Duckdog]

Fodderwing and SteveC , those are absolutely gorgeous old knives. Stellar showing! Thanks. If I had y'all's knives, I'd set mine on fire to keep yours warm over the winter.

I actually won that in a giveaway here from @r redden He may be able to help with that answer better than me. And, if I find they make bigger cooking knives, i may get some. It’s a great vegetable knife! And is very very sharp.

Same ol’ same ol’

I really like Pumas, and I really like this one! Glad to see it again.

Then you will like what I had in my pocket today as part of a duo; I bought this Puma in late 1981 in a knife shop directly across from the main doors of the giant cathedral in Köln (Cologne for the english speakers):

For Micarta Monday, a late '70s 501

Thank you for the nice comments. When the red soup TC was first released I knew I wanted one but was too late to the frenzy. I got lucky and found this one at the exchange. I’ve had a few 15’s(gave and sold some away) but have only one TC and will be keeping it. There are a couple other TC’s releases that I’d like to own but are so hard to come by and if they do show up, they’re pricey. One of my favorite patterns from GEC for sure.

You crack me up! But thank you Stuart for the kind words.
