For Old Friends Friday:
Lovely pair Rachel
"Your silliness is noted, Master."
Tom Baker was the best, though when he first regenerated, I thought he wasn't venerable enough to succeed Pertwee (probably an even funnier name in an r-less dialect).
I stopped watching the new ones because they got so portentious: the very existence of the entire universe at risk in every episode, it seemed. In contrast, Baker's Doctor and Leela once landed on a planet with too many economists, which was unpleasant for the inhabitants, but light-hearted on the cosmic scale.
Oh right. knives:
(The more knives you carry, the less likely the economists are to find them all before you make good your escape.)
A Golden Age
Excellent line-up there Jer Outstanding pairing Ron, two of my favourite knives of 2018

These two old friends today. The AG Russell is a Cattaraugus Trapper (I think). The main blade locks, and is disengaged by pressing the secondary blade in towards the spine. The Queen Barlow is a future gift for my nephew, his first pocket knife, but he has a couple years before he will be old enough for it.

Just goes to show there’s nothing new under the sun. I see a lot of features that a whole bunch of people “invented” 100 years later.
And all these kids with their tactical one hand opener flippers turn their noses up at Grandpa knives
How long is the blade?

I'm trying something different for the next few days. I've been missing my scout knives something terrible, never having the awl and cap lifter when I need them. But I really want to carry two sharp blades instead of just one. And I'd like to be able to carry other knives as well, but standard scouts are heavy enough on their own. So my plan is to carry this Case Jr. Scout in my change pocket, freeing up my front pocket for whatever single blade knife I decide to carry that day. Today is the #3 Oregon Trapper. When evening rolls around, and the jeans are replaced with sweats, the single blade knife is left on the dresser, and the small scout handles the evening duties on its own.
If this works out, I'll track down a really nice bone handled small scout to replace the orange G-10 model.

Sorry I'm not able this week to do my usual "celebration" of many of the marvelous knives you all post here. I hope to start up again Saturday. But I will at least post the knives I'm carrying this week, 2 or 3 or 4 each day.
Peanut-ish Knife of this week is a Rough Rider half-whittler:
Stag/Horn Knife this week is a Joker bull horn knife I bought in Toledo, Spain:
Lambsfoot of the Week is an Ashley's Choice stag model that I've named Cracker Jack:

Jeff the blade is 3" of cutting edge, closed length is 4 1/16".Just goes to show there’s nothing new under the sun. I see a lot of features that a whole bunch of people “invented” 100 years later.
