Excellent choices GT

Enjoying everyone's pics I'm off to York to visit my favourite hardware store Have a great weekend folks

Jack that stag lambsfoot is beautiful.

Won't have much time for the forums this weekend, unfortunately. Drove 15 hours up here to Raleigh, NC for my uncle's funeral. My brother and I had a few hours this morning to hunt down some local bottled beer to bring home with us. I figured if I'm going to NC, I better bring a pair of Jumpman shoes and a knife given to me by one of this forum's and North Carolina's finest, r redden . Thank you, Randy! Beautiful country up here, my friend, and I wish I had more than ~4 hours of free time on this trip to meet up with you. Enjoy the weekend, everybody!

Shawn I'm so glad you are still enjoying that forum knife. With more breweries per capita than anywhere else in the U.S., Asheville was first named Beer City USA in 2009 and has swept the competition almost every year since (sorry GT) so finding a beer you like is not hard here. Highland Brewery was one of the first ones that started here.

I'm hanging out with my Talon today.

I sure like the looks of your saddlehorn, Dean, but I'd always imagined it was a much larger knife! Thanks for the comparison pic.

Thanks, Dean. I'm very taken with that knife!

Thanks, Gary. While all of your knives pictured are grand, the S&M ebony is in a class by itself. What a wonderful gift!

Attractive knives, Jack! You can't go wrong with ebony and stag.

I'm carrying two knives today, but only totin' one of them. A post by J jnevill prompted my choice of one to carry later this afternoon for a cocktail conversation with some buddies. I'll carry it in its box, rather than my pocket.

I have a slight connection to Kentucky. I was born there, as my father was stationed at Fort Campbell before shipping off to Korea. I only stayed there for about a minute, but some of it is in my blood.

This is the knife that I'm totin' today - a 4 1/8" Mickey Maddox coffin jack. Mr. Maddox, of Ringgold, GA, was a high school biology teacher and a protege of Ron Little. Mr. Maddox passed on December 5, 2015 at the age of 89.

Gorgeous stag knives today, Stuart! I like reading the back story for all of your knives.

Curtain & Clark. That's a new one for me, Gev. Very nice; old celluloid?

 

[RDaneel]

I carried these two yesterday and again today.

I decided to polish the blades on my American Jack so I'm carrying it today

I’ve been called lots of things in my life, but never an inspiration!

I too spent some time in Kentucky, I was sent to Louisville to work for 3 weeks, which turned into 7 months. I loved my time there, I must have done the Bourbon trail 5 times, as well as the National Corvette museum in Bowling Green, Mammoth Caves, down town Louisville, the Louisville Slugger factory, and Churchill Downs, it was all very beautiful and a ton of fun. I couldn’t live with the humidity full time though.

I love your Maddox, that’s a beauty for sure. And I’ll give you a dollar for your box!

Curtain & Clark. That's a new one for me, Gev. Very nice; old celluloid?

They were hardware wholesalers ( 1890-1920 ). They had facilities in both St. Joseph and Kansas City. Most think that they had their knives made by Tidioute Cutlery (PA). I love the old hardware stores. Yes, it's celluloid

Your sporting a fine pair today...wow !!!

[JTB_5]

These things are great, I love mine. I've been thinking about making some walnut covers for mine, so I can delete that abomination that lives in the other side

I removed one abomination but can’t get rid of the one on the butt of the knife.

Thank you, Sir! When I first started with GEC's I went with the harness jacks, in memory of my Dad. Not sure what brand he carried,but I do remember him making an extra hole in my belts as I grew up.

Nice saw scout

Woke up to temperatures in the 60’s today, a stark contrast to the 90 degree weather we had last week. These two remind me of fall for some reason.

I just grabbed mine with a pair of pliers and gave it a twist, snapped the threads right off. Not real pretty but more comfortable!

Over the past couple of days these two. CASE Half Whittler (sunk joints) and Forum Knife 14

I've come to the conclusion that for the main, I like single-blade knives and in the 3-5 -3.8" range, good sturdy Clip, Spear, Sheepfoot or Drop-Point. Whereas I think 2 or 3 blade knives work for me best as small knives under 3.5", I dislike the bulk of large multi blades even though I admire them aesthetically. Small Pens, Jacks or Stockman is the thing!
