Lovely piece of pocket cutlery on a real cool backdrop

Decent day out today to get some pictures of today's carry ; TWO 77's and both are Smooth Bone Autumn Gold . Barlow and Washington HJ .






When I was moving the pics into the computer I just had to look at the other downloads of early Christmas with one our daughter's family .


A very good day for our family .

Beautiful smooth bone 77s, Harry!
Were those lurking in your modest little pile of presents?

Obviously Santa flew north to south this year. By the time he crossed the state line, his sleigh was about empty.

Thank you very much Jeff . Much appreciated my friend . There was only One knife in the pile and that was a gift from us to our Son . For the first time in a number of years , I did not get a knife for Christmas . I did however get a few during the year .

So it was almost a sad day. While I was walking my dog I thought "hey that looks like a nice sunny spot to take another knife pic" So I pull my knives out of my pocket and walk to the sunny spot...... Then I realize that one of my knife slips is EMPTY!!! My 2016 Bladeforums 35 Drover is LOST !!!
I search, retrace my steps, go back to that fence post that I took the last pic at, retrace my steps again, NOTHING! By now the dog is just confused and thinks I am even more crazy than she thought I was before. So I mark the spot I think I may have dropped it with a stick and impromptu flag, take the dog, her name is Rilley, back home, grab every magnet I can quickly find (2, I need more magnets) and head back to the levee. I start searching, walking in circles dragging my magnets that I had quickly tied to paracord, cussing at sticks that snagged my paracord, throwing those sticks in the river after cussing them some more. There where some homeless guys camped across the river watching me, probably thinking I was crazy, just like Rilley ( my dog ) does, but I don't care!! I lost my dang Forum knife and I am going to find it!!!! After about 15- 20 min. I hear CLICK... WOOOOO HOOOOO IT'S MY KNIFE!!!! WHO'S CRAZY NOW?!!!
Well probably me...but I found my knife!
HAPPY 2019 Y'ALL!

Thanks, guys.
If I didn't I would be out there with a metal detector and a flashlight!

You're right, Dennis. There is no rush quite like it.

That's great, so glad you found it. I've never lost a knife, it must be a horrible feeling when it's one of the good ones.

Jerry & Stuart, those slimline trappers are grand! Thanks to @Whetstone39, I've been enjoying the pleasures of a yellow CV version for over a year now.

Stuart, thanks for the nod to my Cadet II. And that's quite a party pair you posted; that inferno of a cigar jack is outstanding!!

Thanks for the trapper tip o' the hat, GT, and that yellow version of yours is sweet looking. Also, thanks for the kinds words for my fiery Keen Kutter and its Shapleigh sidekick.

Fancier Canoe this Week is a Rodgers Wostenholm 1978 NKCA gunboat canoe (thanks, TsarBomba):

Captivating canoe there, GT.

Woke up to -20°F wind chill to start off the year so I thought some Winterbottom Bone would be appropriate

The weather may be chilly, Steve, but that #10 is throwing some heat. (I have its twin, also from 1961-1971.)

Case half congress today.

That's a capital congress, Nick.

As of 01/02 I think I'll carry a Smoke Jumper and the RR 1569 Moose ... and maybe a RR603 large Old Yeller Stockman, for a bit.
