Ricky Bob! This is Menefee’s version of a T. Bose designed Bent Gunstock. These photographs were taken in bright direct sunlight. The grain pattern is not as obvious under normal conditions.

Here it is Drew, @dispatch184

Thank you, Dwight.

I'm carrying the GEC Rotten banana 66 jack today. I carry and use it often... Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day!

 

[SVTFreak]

Baby girl requested a big breakfast this morning. So, homemade hash brown, bacon, eggs, grits and toast it is.

That is beautiful, but they should call it "ripe" instead of "rotten"!

Carrying this Winterbottom bone #10 that came in yesterday.

Small Knife Saturday!

Being left handed, I normally use the nick to half stop & then pinch the blade open.

Which also explains the Band-Aid(s) on my fingers!

[Whetstone39]

These two on a gorgeous Saturday. Hope everyone is having a fine weekend.

Enjoying a cigar & bourbon (Evan Williams) on my back porch with my AC in 74 degree weather on my back porch.

Out for a walk with the Moose.

 

[Duckdog]

cigarrodog and Leslie Tomville , those are gorgeous knives in stunning pictures. I just threw all of my knives in the trash, along with my so-called phone camera.

Very nice Queen, SteveC , and thanks for the impetus. It's been drizzling a cold rain all day here, so I'm warming up with a Queen #32 and some warming fluid. I'll toss the #32 out with the rest later, thanks to cigarrodog and Leslie Tomville .

Couple of covetable curvaceous cutters, Alan!

Schrade Walden Eagle Eye
Thank you, Mr. Hilborn

Copper and yellow look great, young fellow!

Thanks Gary and love that sheath you have for your Pioneer !

Thanks, Steve.

Craftsman Stockman today

I admire that aging stockman, Steve!

Colorful pair, Ken! Is there such a thing as a red Churchill? You could have a Churchill traffic signal. "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

Thank you, Gary ( 5K Qs ). Sharing here, whether it be knives or personal, has proven to be fulfilling and therapeutic. I'm forever grateful for the friendships made here, of which I count yourself in that number.

Gary, you’ve got me poking through resale shops looking for old baseball gloves to re-purpose.

Old gloves often contain quite a bit of good leather!

Today one more day, another Portuguese, this time of Francisco Diz - Águas Vivas!!!

Today another Portuguese, this time of Veríssimo - Miranda do Douro!!!

Splendid stag knives, Senhor Pinto!

My dad and I started talking knives, I showed him my 055 and told him I'd been on the hunt for a 2 dot 110. He said he thought he may have one somewhere... we did some trade negotiations and I ended up with a two dot 112 that has seen a pretty hard life, and this one which came from my grandpa's collection and is in my pocket today

View attachment 1025222

I think I'm able to pocket carry it 'cause my pants are so snug from yesterday

Very cool that knives are a family affair, Heath!

Leftovers, I LOVE leftovers .

Like Whetstone39 above, I LOVE leftovers:

I like my food to approximate the colours of my knife scales. (I did have something green on the side, though).

Tom & Vince, you're a bad influence on me!

This is the only kind of Black Friday activity that I spend time on.

Immaculate pair of Winchesters, Stuart!

Surprise! Schizoid Jack!

Funny, really. As early as I can remember, I thought a knife's main blade should be a clip-point. I think that goes back before I'd even heard of a Bowie knife. The skinny tiny Colonial jack is the one Dad let me use before I had my own knife.

In my pre-tweens, I read Horace Kephart's "the jackknife has three blades...", and my knife had to be a stockman. The Camillus shown is the first knife I saved up to buy for myself.

In my practical days, I carried the BSA SAK long enough to wear off the red from the alox, then I carried the shorter one till the celidor crumbled at the ends.

The upper SAK is in my pocket because the magnifier is a very necessary tool these days. So I'm getting practical again.

Then what am I doing with a two-main-blade jack with no clip point as an inescapable edc?

Every picture (and knife?) tells a story; thanks for posting some of the stories for this bunch, Jer! Any idea how old that skinny Colonial jack is? I have one quite similar to yours:

Thanks! It wasn't really a planned thing, just the best I could do with it..
...
A stockman makes me think, don't think I've ever seen a friction folder with more than one blade, that'd actually be pretty cool!

Makes me want to pick up a rough rider, or a cheap broken knife and try it just to see..

Thanks for the link and the description of what you did, @Ice Tigre, and some speculation about handling other fixes. Here's a photo of my stockman. Let me know if you'd like to mess with it, and I'd be happy to give it to you in the interest of science!

GT, like many here, I am grateful for all the many observations and kind words you bring to this thread, and to The Porch in general I always enjoy seeing your GS knife
...

I appreciate your "testimonial" for me, Jack! I used the GS knife to make lunch today; it's a remarkably Good Slicer.
Your AC looks as lovely as ever!

That's some long, lean, yellow you've got there, Dave!

Tidiute and Schrade for a warm(er), drippy day, with forecasts of 6 to 8 inches of snow for tomorrow
Better get the snow blower staged and prepped.View attachment 1025565

Handsome pair of knives, Jeff! I hope the weather forecast is wrong.

Walking early with the full moon. Grinling today.
...

Such an elegant knife, Greg!!

Dwight, that's a stunning knife, and I appreciate it even more after watching the video @veitsi_poika posted recently!

That barehead gunstock is incredible, Leslie!

A couple of "free choice" knives I've carried all week:
Colt stag muskrat

Imperial serpentine jack (I think this is its 3rd consecutive week as a "free choice")

Indeed, nicely put!

Thanks to all, it is appreciated!

Carried some 400 stainless with me on my duck hunt this morning.

Tom & Vince, you're a bad influence on me!

Like I've never heard THAT before!
