For Two Trapper Twosday, I'm totin' these two. Some say carrying two trappers is tough, but these are easy. Both Queens from 1958-1960, the smaller is a #11EO and the larger is a #62.

Your Tyne knife is in beautiful condition Stuart I used to come across them fairly regularly, but less so recently Great little Humbug Knife too

I'm fishing for pancakes today Accompanied by the lovely Lucy

Thanks, Jack, and for the useful earlier info that you had posted on TYNE. Although I like you lovely lambie, Lucy tugs at my angler's heart and love for old working knives. Great pairing.

Hopefully I'll see some traditional Slovenian masks from our mythology as well, some of which you can come across in Cleaveland today as well.

Mardi gras has become a child's day, though they don't disguise as much as when I was a kid, nevertheless today there will be pancakes everywhere for dinner with dry cider (Breton or Normand depending)!
Carnival North and South, imho the best fun and most popular being Dunkirk.

Thanks for the background information and great photos, guys. Laissez les bon temps rouler!!

It's going to be a zulu kind of day.

Zulu is the name of one of a second line crewe down in 'Nawlins, ain't dat right, Alan? Your beautiful small knife looks mammoth in that pic.

Some broken blades cut better than new:

I prefer to view the blade as shortened, rather than broken, r8shell. A fine old worker. (BTW, after a particularly rough fishing trip, figuratively and literally, I told my wife that I wasn't broken, I was just badly bent.)

Just received from José Herreros of Madrid. Mini Vendetta. Finely crafted and a beautiful specimen. Thank you José.

That's gorgeous, Dwight. Hands down beautiful.

Yes sir, ebony, two clips and a wharnie. Case Tony Bose collaboration Cattle Knife. Thank you!

All that a knife should be and nicely turned out.

Totin two today:

Fine stuff all around, Joshua.

I'm now into my 3rd month with the Camillus, and still loving it more and more every day. Riding shotgun today is a sheepsfoot/pen GEC#15 Boy's Knife from 2015. I think this might have been my second GEC, and it was the one that pretty much cemented my love for the company. It's darned near perfect in fit and finish, and I really love the contrast from light to dark in the covers. The yellow is simply breathtaking in person. The coloring is like gazing into a lit fireplace.

If I were to be honest with myself, this Boy's Knife would be pretty much ideal for my daily EDC duties, between work and home. The 15 isn't large enough to draw unwanted attention. The covers look too beautiful for the average person to be frightened of. Chances are that showing it in public would cause it to become a conversation piece. The sheepsfoot blade is very people friendly, yet beefy enough to handle challenging tasks. The extra pen blade is great for precision work. I'm always filled with joy by just gazing at this knife and playing with it. I really need to carry it more often.

That's a fabulous 15, Buzz. A great pairing very nicely portrayed.

Case Sowbelly today

Beautifully simple and simply beautiful, both at once.

Steve, your knife collection continues to provide pleasure and education to this thread, as does your increasingly fine photography. Kudos and thanks.

Once again, a great picture of a unique and handsome knife. As I've thought whenever @Travman has posted a similar one, this one would be handy on a fishing or duck hunting trip, in that it might serve as a paddle or rudder in case of boat troubles.

D Duckdog Thank you Stuart. It is a handful. Literally

 

[joeradza]

D Duckdog Beats me Stuart. Mammoth yes, small nope.

Today is Carnival (or Mardi Gras)! I'm a big history buff and love historic movies, so I'm going as a cross between something out of A Bridge Too Far and Wild Geese.

Hopefully I'll see some traditional Slovenian masks from our mythology as well, some of which you can come across in Cleaveland today as well.

Looks great! Interesting you mention pancakes, here we eat jelly donuts instead and although the holiday is big with children, adults have a great time as well, especially us university students ... I really like the traditional masks, which usually make as much noise as possible with bells and whips to scare away the winter. Some plow the snow (although there wasn't any for the past several years) to make the fields fertile and so on.

Fascinating posts gents Here, Pancake Day is sadly a much tamer affair I love pancakes (crepes), but struggled in finding them today - https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/guardians-of-the-lambsfoot.1406735/page-766#post-18841382

Congratulations Dwight, super special knife

The fish knife is beautiful, Jack. Love the blade. Of course I’m rather fond of the Ironwood Lambsfoot.

Thanks, Jack, and for the useful earlier info that you had posted on TYNE. Although I like you lovely lambie, Lucy tugs at my angler's heart and love for old working knives. Great pairing.

Thanks a lot guys, the Kent Fish Knife was a gift from @r8shell

 

[Fodderwing]

That is beautiful, Dwight. I love @ArtesaniaHerreros's work.

Thank you Vince. Definitely a worthy acquisition.

Fodderwing What a sweet knife. Loads of beautiful details on the Mini Vendetta, even an EO

Thank you CD. Not only can you see the quality you can feel it.

That's gorgeous, Dwight. Hands down beautiful.

Thank you Stuart. A regal pair of Queens there.

Thank you Jack. It really is just that.

My 2017 Midnight Special Guardians Lambsfoot with the blossoms today! It’s a shame they will be gone tomorrow because of a hard frost!

Well, your picture warmed my morning, Ron, Thanks. We have crocuses that have popped up and are suffering the same chilly fate. And. yet, the National park Service will soon post the prediction for the blooming of the Tidal Basin cherry trees!

We made a trip to DC for the blooms last year! Wouldn’t you know it, Mother Nature was on her own time frame!
