[Amir Fleschwund]

Beautiful! Half whittler?

Sorry for my absence from this thread folks I've been ill, and only on the mend now I'll not be going out today, but at least I'm dressed! And carrying these two, my ebony Guardians 2018 Lambsfoot and a vintage Buck 301 recently gifted to me by @r8shell

Ah that Rachel is something, huh?
Nice Buck!
Getting dressed usually means you’re on the mend. Feel better soon, Jack!

The rain continues this morning! Oh well! I’ve already taken care of some of my inside tasks such as, unloading the dish washer and putting away the contents. Then I got the garbage bagged and taken out! These two are close by this morning!

Great pair ya got there, but fer cryin out loud, take it easy and don’t overdo it, Ron!

 

[Old Engineer]

Thanks, Harry. I was pleased when I found it hiding in a corner, as I'd not seen it before.
- Stuart

I would check out the other corners .

[JohnDF]

Midday switchup... I had several cutting tasks today that required piercing and I was getting frustrated with the fat 'ol spear blade on the GEC #78. So, I decided to go with something I know would handle the chores. Case Wharncliffe Mini Trapper...

 

[veitsi_poika]

Beautiful! Half whittler?

Thanks Jeff The Schrade Open Stock List designates it as a "Wharncliffe Pattern" pen knife.

That shield is epic.

 

[Eli Chaps]

That shield is epic.

Thank you sir. My friend gave me that. I like me some Capt. America.

 

[Duckdog]

D Duckdog Stuart, the Imperial yesterday, the Winchester and S&M today are all beauties! The S&M though...

I love old cattles, just like this one.

I would check out the other corners .

Thanks, guys, and, Harry, I'm trying to do that everyday, but hunting season distracted me. More of them later.

Before I stick my digital foot in my digital mouth, are Buck 110's appropriate for this thread? Not sure they fit the "traditional" moniker.

They are fine (see below) and thanks for asking. Traditional is the pattern/style of the knife, not its age. I think that you'll have a good time here. A lot to learn from a lot who know a lot, as I have discovered. Cabela's Buck?

[JohnDF]

I like me some Capt. America.

A fine upstanding superhero, good choice.

Camillus USAC Utility

Beauty in its utility, Steve. Very fine.
- Stuart

 

[mitch4ging]

... I’ll try to catch up on drooling over all ya’lls cutlery later. Lots of driving - my father in law is in the hospital. He’s got an irregular heartbeat. Hopefully they can regulate the tachycardia because that causes clots which cause strokes.
Should be ok, but when you’re in your 80s, it’s concerning.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys and your FIL.

[Lostball]

I know I am late but I hope everyone on the Porch has a GREAT 2019!!!!!
These two will most likely continue to be a couple of my main "totes" in 2019.

 

[Pàdruig]

Looking forward to your reaction. I have a feeling I know, but we'll see.

Alan, I ordered a Case and when I got the invoice, I realized I inadvertently scooped up a three blade version in CV. Well, rather than having the folks change my order, I am letting it stand and now I have a single blade A. G. Russel Sowbelly on the way too. (Been eyeballing some of their blades for awhile now)

I will be sure to report on my thoughts in a few days.

That sure is a stunning knife. The bone is mind blowing! Makes one wonder why Case doesn't use this as a model for their upcoming Barlow releases.

Todays carry is a GEC 23

Dave, a tremendous photo! I like how well the shield seems to have been inlet. Very classy!

Intermittent rain storms have washed out the last few days of my deer season, so I sit here with some time on my hands (until Miss Norma realizes what's happened). My totin' choice today was inspired by a post by Dylan ( Pàdruig ) and following comments by Alan (@joeradza ), an always influential pair. Because of them, I'm sticking with the pig. Sooou-ee, sooou-ee, pig!!

- Stuart

A very fine looking knife, Stuart, I always enjoy seeing that one. (If I recall correctly, we have indeed seen this before, yes?)

While wandering around the (jigged) bone pile, I found this little old slim fella and decided to give him some pocket time. He, the sowbelly and I will be ready to greet my Friday afternoon group at our local watering hole this afternoon. A Schatt & Morgan barehead jack from 1902-1928.

Getting good pics was tough today in the flat light of an approaching storm front.
- Stuart

Oh, that jigging is simply superb! What a terrific knife!


I have had these three close at hand today. For no other reason than I simply could.

Great selection of Ebony knives.

 

[Jathes]

Carried this one all week.

 

[5K Qs]

Think I’ll spend a few days getting better acquainted with my BF Buck. And I could carry a TL29 every day and be happy.View attachment 1047608

Jeff, what accounts for your attraction to the TL29?

The hits just keep on coming, Steve!

I've been noticing he had his name on a lot of antiques/ vintage items...

From what I understand, approximately 16 million Americans served in WW2. So that's one Camillus Engineer knife for about every 2.5 soldiers. But Camillus produced far more knives than just the engineer model. All in all, Camillus produced over 13 million knives during for the war effort, almost equaling the number of soldiers.

14,895,881 according to this

Thanks for the interesting stats, Buzz and Kevin!

haha, I think it was the first song I would sing as a Wee boy, over and over again, driving my parents around the bend.

5K Qs

Gary the 6502 was indeed the 8 bit chip used in the Apple II. I bought my first Apple (a IIe) in 1983. I originally had a tape drive (remember those?) but got a 5 1/4" floppy drive a few months later. Then my first major software purchase was Visicalc (a game changer for the microcomputer market). I had one of those green Sanyo Monitors (9") but bought an Apple display later on. The PC was pretty expensive in comparison and I had learned BASIC so stuck with Apple. I have been a ham since 1979 so was interested in electronics in general, BYTE was published by Wayne Green (who also published the amateur radio magazine 73 magazine), so I followed the early computer boom closely.

Cool memories, Jerry. Hard to believe that was 35 years ago!

Carrying (as in carrying to the deck rail for a few pics ) this large beauty of a birthday present from my daughter.
...

...

Congrats on the thoughtful gift from your daughter!

You are most welcome my friend. View attachment 1047754

Dwight, that's a stupendous sowbelly!!

I like everything about that knife!! (Except lack of a secondary blade )

Elegant ebony, Ken!

Merci, Gari!

Maybe I should change my name to Garibaldi.

Just kickin' around today with this old Imperial cattle knife. Git along little doggie!!

- Stuart

Stuart, I could gaze at that bone until the cows come home!

Grazing at work today...

That's a nice jigged bone Buck canoe!

...
You are to be commended, GT, for your monumental daily efforts. I think I speak for most, if not all, when I say that your attentiveness to everyone is noted and very much appreciated.
...

I appreciate your encouragement, Dylan.
I wonder if I enjoy your red/black combos so much because those colors are featured in games I like (checkers, cards, roulette ).

...
Glad you remembered those Gary. Yellow Delrin Case with seasoned blades, a most handsome legume and last but most comely I think... that dignified venerable ebony Lambsfoot. I must seek one out.

All three are fine, GT, but that stag peanut is the peanuti-est!!
- Stuart

Thanks for your attention, Dwight & Stuart.

Sorry for my absence from this thread folks I've been ill, and only on the mend now I'll not be going out today, but at least I'm dressed! And carrying these two, my ebony Guardians 2018 Lambsfoot and a vintage Buck 301 recently gifted to me by @r8shell

Pair of black classics, Jack! Glad you're feeling a bit better.

...

You sure know how to pick 'em, Ron! Beauties!

I'm carrying a couple of "free choice" knives this week that are not prescribed by my rotation schedule. One is a carbon steel Rough Rider sowbelly and the other is a Cannon sheepsfoot sailor knife:
