Thank you for the kind words.

The same (and more) could be said about that beautiful piece of cutlery.

Luminous and lovely.

Thank you.

Just one

Ralphie and his "official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time." (I’m carrying the stockman)

You'll shoot your eye out, Kid!

These two for me today, which is my Friday and the start of a 5 day weekend .

He is a great guy (he was a department head at Georgetown University Hospital and stepped down to teach, see real patients, and hunt). I am honored to be able to sit and talk with him. We're pretty close, too, as he's done all of my colonoscopies.

You can't get much closer than that, Stuart!

Tis the Season for a little Christmas color. Hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas.

Looks like you've been nice (not naughty), Tim! Those are three superb examples of cutlery! I have the same evergreen TC; the jigging is the best I've seen on a GEC (IMHO).

 

[RDaneel]

I decided to carry something scratted today. Although it is Ancient, it's more than 100 years younger than the coin and the glasses.

And today is still in my pocket, Joseph Rodgers of England....

I'm giving Yellow Mojo a rest and putting the new Boker in the game. I filled the traditional Boker shield hole with 5-minute epoxy mixed with black chalk dust.

Busy time before the holidays. This in the pocket today.

That's very nice, Dwight.

Got out an old friend today, 1985 Remington.

I agree with Buzz about those knives and yours looks like that it has led an honest and fruitful life, as opposed to mine which looks like a poseur.

Yesterday and today!

Beautiful jigged bone on that Buck, Ron.

Classy classic, Jeff. I wouldn't even need the coffee to get my heart a pumpin'.

Bodacious Boker, Dave.

Totin' my latest acquisition a SW 856

Stunning SW stockman, Steve. That jigging!! Now, that's a knife.

A couple of nice old veterans !

Both are super nice, but I have a weakness for those Cam EO jacks!

Thanks, guys.

As far as I know, the UMSC variation of the 14/4 pattern Engineer knife was made only by Camillus for the Marines during WW2. Camillus also did runs for the Army, Navy and the Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer). The only documented Marine run that I know of was performed by Camillus in 1942. Of the 4-blade Camillus knives made for each division of the US military, I'm pretty sure that the USMC is the rarest.

Thanks so much for the information, Buzz. I knew that you'd know. Boy, this is a great place to ask questions and learn something new about something old.

That's some buttery bone, Wayne. Another fine old knife for Throwback Thursday. Thanks.

Bodacious Boker, Dave.

lol, "Bodacious" it is.

 

[JohnDF]

This in the pocket today.

One of the all-time great knives.

I'm giving Yellow Mojo a rest and putting the new Boker in the game. I filled the traditional Boker shield hole with 5-minute epoxy mixed with black chalk dust.

That looks great! I like Bokers a lot, but I do believe there's a magical land where all the missing shields go.

Today's carry:

Thanks for the compliment Stuart! That’s a beautiful equal end Remington your displaying today!

Very nice #11 !

I agree wholeheartedly, r8shell. I have a Boker whittler that "had" a gold filigree tree shield that was affixed with a wish and a prayer. I have a handful of Case knives that I haven't posted that are missing shields. I'm going to send them in . . . someday.
