I had to go back to note some posts that I didn't mention earlier. Trying to keep up with this thread is like practicing touch-and-go's on a carrier in an angry sea.
I hope that you found calm waters and a break, Willard, and that you are keeping the dry side up as the river swells. That awl/punch is awesome.
That's a tantalizing trio, Jack, especially that white knight.
You were hanging with some solid citizens there, Jeff.
Your recent pairings have been pretty potent, Ron. Got your big pocket pants on?
Man, I really like your "little discoveries", David. Really fine stuff.
I can see why, Dean. All of that is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
OH, I loved your pictures and reply to JB. I grew up on Atlantic Beach (my stepfather was the mayor for a short time). I fished the Sportsman's pier (my house and my maternal grandparents' house were 25 yards from the old parking lot entrance), I was a lifeguard at the Oceanna (and we were members of the Dunes Club), and surfed both of those piers and the Triple S and the Iron Steamer. We coon hunted down near the Coast Guard Station at Bogue Inlet (access to our tent camp was the old Coast Guard Road, all sand at that time).
Lovely knife. What species of burl is that?
I really like the looks of that A.G. Russell, Dwight. Elegant!
That is one of the joys of this hobby and the Porch. We get to appreciate and share special knives that carry memories and meaning. I have a couple of the much more recent Case 6232s, and they pale in comparison to the wonderful gift that you are holding, Mark.
A birth year knife!! What a gift! Unfortunately, most knives from the Bronze Age are not still with us, so I can only enjoy such a thing vicariously, so thank you for sharing, Steve.
@kai76 Your 78 looks peachy, Nick.

I'm being greedy today

Good morning all! I’m carrying the same Stag NF 77 Barlow as yesterday coupled with this large Rosewood Lambsfoot!
Totin a Lambsfoot and Barlow today! Two iconic patterns for this Monday!

I like carrying this knife on Sundays.

Going to carry my Grandpa John's 6232 Case XX today. He ran Bitteroot lake state campground in Montana after he retired and I would spend the summers helping him. 1982-88. We whittled many Diamond willow walking sticks together and I remember this knife fondly. VERY grateful to have it now.
