That John Lloyd Zulu looks beautiful, I love the fish shield on it. Congrats!

Just four Buck's and two SAK's today.

I never carry this GEC Bird & Trout because I find the factory sheath to be horrendous, but I found a sheath in my pile o' sheaths that fits it well enough. So, I decided to have it tag along for the day. The thinness of the knife and sheath allow for a very comfortable pocket carry. Love the acorn shield, tortoise shell acrylic, and the patina.

Vintage French buffalo horn today.

This sodbuster junior arrived yesterday. I’ll admit that at first I found the black blade hideous, it looked much more grey in the pictures online. But it is growing on me now. I really like the bone scales, and it feels heavier than the plastic version. The edge is really rough, but I’ll fix that this weekend. Happy Friday!

Going light today, so I'm totin' this Böker 93 slim trapper (1960-1970) in my pocket. The sun is finally out for a while (or so it is predicted), but I'm keeping rubber boots at hand.

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

Those two look lovely together Rachel It can't be much below that here today!

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

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

Honoring the Friday tradition of black knives...View attachment 993746Have a great Friday!

I used to have that! Interesting Black Friday knives my friend

View attachment 993748

Very nice

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. The long hot summers thin the blood.

T-shirt weather here!

I should have known that, since I am a old Norse myself. .
Nice pair of ebony totes ya got there.

LOL! Still in daily use in its original form in Yorkshire, and near Sheffield, there is a hill, Mam Tor - Mother Mountain Thanks a lot pal

Back with MAM

How do you like it, it's a cheap work knife, about the same as Opinel?

[Boxer .45]

Never been a big fan of stag....until I came across this one. Really nice in hand too.

Lovely Stuart

Thanks, Jack, and your nicely framed knives are on the money.

Man, that's nice!!

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

You have a pair of classics with you, Ron, and mighty nice looking ones at that.

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

A lovely pair, r8shell. I was taught to respect my elders, so my middle-age Böker trapper gives a nod to your handsome older stockman. (The Wright is alright, too.)

Honoring the Friday tradition of black knives...

Good looking pair, Jeff. I let the tradition slip in my carry selection, but I'll post this in solidarity with you:

Camillus #70 today

You brightened my day, Steve. Thanks.

You could be correct on the tag theory, Alan, though there is a similar "ghost" image at the bolster, so maybe there's a pattern. Regardless, both are beauties and well portrayed.

What a pleasant picture to see. It honors the knife and rewards the viewer. Well done!

That is a fine looking knife, Shawn, as the patina complements the tortoise shell handle. I might be a bit leery using such a smooth handled (and guard-less) knife cleaning fish or fowl, but I sure as heck would carry it proudly.

Boy, I hadn't seen that version of the SBJr, Tom. That's pretty sweet. Thanks for showing it.

Me liiiiike, very niiiiice.

 

[r8shell]

That patina looks great on your lambsfoot. I like how there is a little spark of orange at the tip, almost like a flame to match the orange on the covers.

Thank you, I didn't notice that. The stag reminds me of when folks used to burn Autumn leaves.

Those two look lovely together Rachel It can't be much below that here today!

T-shirt weather here!

Having a heat wave?

I was wondering where that sentence was going at first...

I took mine with me the other day on a fishing trip...have to agree about the sheath. I need to find something better as well. Your patina is coming along nicely

Looking good Joshua

Thank you Stuart!

Having a heat wave?

Yeah! It's a marked contrast to last week, September can be pretty nice here, but until the last few days it's been rather miserable. Hope we get a few more days of sunshine

Yikes! I keep hearing the F word this morning. Frost advisory.
Then, back to 80’s Monday.
