[Will Power]

A new old one for me today. I like old penknives as you can guys tell I’m sure.

Oooohhhh! Shadow now

I share your tastes, but not unfortunately, your access to the mine of old choice penknives..

Robeson, Camillus, and Wenger for Black FridayView attachment 998141

Dandy dark trio, Jeff! (But I have to admit I've never handled one of those big, modern style of SAK. )

Thanks for the info, Gary. I really like the unique style , it looks like I am going to need to pick one up and give it a go.

I think you'll like it!

Sorry for the poor photo. Black micarta 15 and Lannier today.

5K Qs Should I give the Lannier a name? Your names are always good. What about "Holy Toledo"?

Thanks for the kind word, but I don't name the vast majority of my knives; it's only a little game I have for my lambsfoots! But if you want to name your Lannier, "Holy Toledo" sure works for me! (I like "Bob", too, but that's an old, bad Detroit Pistons reference. )

You've only just retired... alas ... already going to the dogs...

Going to the dogs is right, Dwight. My wife said retiring doesn't apply to livestock care. Cool Moore Maker ; that's a brand I've never seen in person. I wonder if some brands are quite regional.

That is a very handsome canoe, GT, I like the Autumn color theme.
...

Thanks, John. I really like the golf ball dimple jigging on my little Klaas canoe.

...
Sorry GT I can’t explain why either but my pics are now the blue boxes you see. I use photobucket to post pics and all I know is that the site has been down since yesterday evening.

That explains it well enough for me, Nick. I noticed that some of the blue boxes were "clickable", and when I clicked them, a new pbucket tab would open but never finish loading.

Me like the Schatt GT, very nice!!

...
I lake that Schatt & Morgan, GT. Very nice.

Gary, the S&M is more than miscellaneous! More like spectacular.
And thanks once again for your kind comments about my users!

Thanks for the positive reactions to my S&M, Nick & Stuart & Jeff. The ebony/silver combo is very distinguished to me, I like the big federal shield, the rounded bolsters on the equal-end pattern is killer, and a spearpoint is my favorite blade! To top it off, the generosity of @mrknife !

Presidential, Ken? Those sure look like they'd be amazing knives!

...
Thank you for the info my friend, and for the compliment I might give them a try - though I think mine might have to stretch a good deal more than your own!
...
Very nice GT I hope you still have all your fingers with that Kudu!
...
Double black for me today Technology has stressed me out today, so I am looking forward to having a beer this evening ...

I'm happy with the switch from belt to braces, although belts are easier to put on for me.
There certainly was a learning curve for me regards closing the Kudu, and my fingers were indeed at risk! I managed to come out with a pair of fives, so all's well...
I hope you can shake off the tech stress; maybe you should change your name to Jack Double Black to reflect your knife and drink choices!

Thanks GT, yes single spring

Thanks for the info and extra pic, Steve. That's a superior knife!

Sweet, Dave! That's one of the buffalo horn, copper-bolstered RRs, right? Copper Ridge series?

Are two sheepfoots called sheepfeet? I'm totin' a Queen model 32 large congress from 1958-1960.

Regal congress, Stuart! (Is that an oxymoron?) The pics set off a couple of flashbacks from long ago:

Something about the simple utility of this one just called to me...had to snatch it up

~Chip

Heavy metal, Chip!!

You'll shoot your eye out!

Woohoo! Look what showed up!

Congrats on the stellar new #14, Chief!

It's a Bullnose that I modded

That stag Bullnose rocks!!

Early start here...and once again it's BB

What a grand knife, Will!

Today with a good reading a good knife in my pocket...

Splendid stag, and the book looks interesting!

A couple Sheffield Ettrick's

That's an intriguing pattern, Dave! I should put it on my "watch list".

Excellent english knife, I really like...

Thanks, Senhor Pinto!

Here are a couple of my knives that I ALWAYS carry.

First flight!

NICE

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

From the looks of that "watch pocket" you could get Big Ben in there!

Tractor Supply's Schmidt brand canvas carpenter pants, every bit as good as carhart imo, and quite a bit less expensive. All pockets are pretty generous. I like their denim jeans as well, generous watch pocket as well, good for multiple knives

Oooohhhh! Shadow now

I share your tastes, but not unfortunately, your access to the mine of old choice penknives..

Yes, we do share the same tastes and what’s not to like about single spring penknives especially the old ones. I mined this one off the bay, the search is half the fun in collecting I guess.

 

[r8shell]

It's weird how we make decisions on our carry patterns. I'll carry a custom but not a $25 Case because its special to me or search for a particular knife to carry and then only carry it but never use it.

If we were logical about it, we'd just pick one knife and use it every day. Where's the fun in that?

These jigged chestnut bone CV SBJs make us do strange things. Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to find one (a 2009) and knowing how prized they are I bought it. It's a great knife and, in fact, it's in my pocket now. But... a while after that I found another 2009 in another store. Despite my insisting that I only buy knives to carry, I bought that one also, put a thin coat of mineral oil on the blades, and put it back in the box as a "backup" SBJ. So far it's my only "safe queen".

That's not a safe queen, that's a spare.

Those are both great knives! Your 130+ year old MOP is fantastic!

I just got an SBJ in chestnut, but I guess they don't make those two bladed anymore. I'll bet it is more substantial in hand.

Thanks! I haven't handled the single blade version, but I figured it would be rather thin, especially on such a small knife. On the other hand, the new GEC #14s seem popular. (I'm waiting for the two bladers to come out)

 

[Old Engineer]

Of course I am carrying some Stag today while cleaning up the garage and cracking some Hickory Nuts . Nancy makes some great cookies with the nut meat in them . We have about 5 Gallon more to crack . Northfield 73 in Stag and Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoot . Two of my favorite knives .

Sweet, Dave! That's one of the buffalo horn, copper-bolstered RRs, right? Copper Ridge series?

Yes, it is GT, they are pretty nice looking little fellas. The only drawback is because of the clawed texture of the scales, if the pin is placed on the ridge it is standing proud.

I’ve learned(the hard way)to watch my fingers with this one

Hope that's not blood!
Beautiful knife.

 

[Whetstone39]

I had these two with me at a fun family reunion today. The Pioneer X turned out to be the belle of the ball, as no one thought to bring a bottle opener . I may have converted a couple of people into SAK fans today.



And my aunt sent me home with a plate of leftovers for dinner .

Carrying this one today:

Beautiful knife.

Thank you. That was last time. This was just the hood of a car after the rain.
