Hope you get some better weather today Ron :thumbsup:

I'm totin' this John Primble (Belknap Hdwe) English Jack with me as I go shopping for some new porter and stout supplies. Seems only fitting.

Lovely Stuart :thumbsup:


That really is a cracker Dwight :) :thumbsup:

That duo looks like just the ticket for your plans, Jack! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Looks like a venerable relic, and old friend, Senhor Pinto! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


:thumbsup::D


We humans tend to fall victim to "the grass is always greener ..." syndrome, Will! ;):rolleyes: You're working and wish you could retire now, and I'm retired (at least partially), but had planned to work for at least 4-5 more years. :confused:


Fantastic timber twosome, r8shell r8shell ! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Thanks, Senhor Pinto. :)


If I carried an opulent pair like that to have a car serviced, I'd worry that they'd stick me with excessive rates reserved for the rich and famous!! :eek::p:thumbsup::thumbsup:


Unique and attractive stag on your gunstock! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Thanks, Tom. :) Looking forward to your SBJr reactions/impressions. :cool::thumbsup:
That's a revered pair of Remingtons!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: Even the rocks look especially good today! ;)


Unusual, and unusually handsome, pattern, Stuart! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: Looks like some kind of hybrid between a Barlow and a saddle horn, maybe. :rolleyes: Fantastic drop point blade, IMHO! I hope you enjoyed the sunshine. ;)


Lovely ligneous Laguiole, Gary! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:


I rarely face THAT accusation, Jack! :D:D Thanks for the kind description of my knives. :)



Thanks for the high praise for my Case 6347, Dean & Stuart.:) I didn't really want that knife, but @The Fort had it as a package deal with a red bone single-spring canoe that I couldn't pass up; I'm now glad he talked me into it! :thumbsup::thumbsup:;)


Beautiful pair, Dean, :cool::thumbsup::cool: but let's not rush the fall colors! :eek:;) I KNOW what comes right after fall! :(


Awesome pair of knives for both reasons you cited, Jeff; thanks for sharing the story! :):thumbsup::thumbsup: Impressive pics of the storm front! :cool::thumbsup:


Denim micarta gets me every time! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: I have to see if I can find it on an "economy knife" of the type that characterizes my collection. ;)


Well, I sure appreciate your efforts, Ken! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Not really sure how long it takes me to make one of my "totin' today" posts. With the traffic volume in this thread, I've recently tried to limit my "quotes per page" to 2 or 3 (plus any posts that include a direct address to me :)), so making those choices takes some time; I usually scan through all the posts on each page in a first pass, and then go back to choose my 2 or 3 "favorites" (for whatever reason). Then I insert the multi-quotes into a reply, do some re-ordering sometimes to bring similar posts together, and type up my comments (and finally put in some of my carries for the week). This last stage is usually about 30 minutes, but the choosing stage is often spread out 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there throughout the day. Maybe an hour of fine entertainment/relaxation each day on average??


Thanks for the appreciation, Nick :), but I think you'll need to "manage your expectations" about the quality of my contributions going forward!! :D


Double stag alert!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::cool:


Another irresistible pair, Hugh! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: (Even if your dog doesn't seem to share my opinion. ;))


Congrats on your successful search for that stunning model, Leslie! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup: I think almost any red stag knife is a major prize. Doesn't @black mamba have one very similar to yours?

My Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is this GEC buffalo horn 85 (thanks, Paul), but my Lambsfoot of the Week is also horn (thanks, Jack):

Thank you my friend, that's some smashing horn :thumbsup:

On the trail today...

GEC 15 Ancient spearpoint Barlow.



Case teardrop (don't worry, I tasted the mushroom - not poison) (the previous statement was a lie).



Case Swayback jack (my newest acquisition).


Striking trio Dean :thumbsup:

Today with one more Portuguese, this is from the region of the West, made entirely in stainless steel and with a scrimshaw (engraving) in low relief by the craftsman Paulo Correia, it is a Trout and plants.
As you can see from the photos, it is a cutlery from 2010 (Lombo do Ferreiro)!
It is a small knife with length the 3 1/4" (8 cm).:) :thumbsup:

That is a wonderful knife! I could stare at that beautiful trout scrimshaw all day!
 
The vintage styled traditional knives go well with the actual vintage coinage.:thumbsup:

Thanks Jack, so do I! :) These two for me today. :)

It's almost October and high temperatures won't get above mid 80s this weekend. Fall is in the air! :D

To reference the title of an old Pink Floyd double album LP...
A NICE PAIR!:D

Don’t forget your sweater if you venture out in that crisp mid-eighties degrees fall weather!:rolleyes:

Thank you, that's a nice pair you've got there, too.
And yes, with early morning lows in the 60s, it's almost time for long sleeves. I've seen folks around here wearing parkas when Northerners might call it sweater weather. :rolleyes: The long hot summers thin the blood. ;)
