[DelOro]

What a day!

 

[Will Power]

This little Queen turns my head No.26 Small Stockman in WCSB.
It's compact like a 3 bladed Penknife, D2 is another bonus, near perfect W&T.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks. Those are my oldest, next to the Bunting and Son from Charlie:

They look beautiful Rachel

Looks like a serious chopper!

Only just over a 3" blade on that one Vince, but it's a good tough 'meaty' knife. I used it to split up some of that punk wood to start a small fire for a brew. It's the Varusteleka Terava Mini-Skrama from Finland. They do a larger version, which looks like an absolutely awesome chopper. Very pleased with the knives I've had from them

Great pics, Jack. That Vendetta is so cool!

Thanks a lot Mark

Cool pic

Rosewood 2 bolster Lambsfoot for me today.

May the fourth be with you all.

Nice Jordan

Carrying these today!

Class pairing Ron

Beautiful pic Harvey

Bake day carry.

I'm not sure what looks better, the knife, or the background!

Thanks Jack. Lovely trio accompanying you on your castle ruins walk. Beautiful pics.

I was glad to see you snatch that beauty up Gary. Lovely piece in every way and lovelier still with your additions.

Thanks a lot Dwight

My first post since Thursday and I could barely catch up of the thread to LIKE some fine postings. Y'all are wearing me (and obviously some vacant folks) out! I'm too tired to post many comments about the fine posts since I left on Thursday, but they are some very good ones. I do have these pics from my fishing trip (2 days blown out by the wind, one day roughing out a day of rollers).

Early the second day, we jigged. I jagged for a beer and cigar. (I caught a 34 inch striper, but the minimum limit is a 36" or larger. Back he went.)

Later, we trolled 17 lines and my son caught a 42" keeper.

We caught three more 33" - 35" throw-backs, and I had to head home. They fished today (no report yet), and I'm going back this coming week.

Looks like you're having a great time Stuart

Morning folks, hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend I'm carrying these two today

Have a great Sunday

This beauty was a very welcome gift. I’ve been toting it for the past few days and I plan to continue totin’ it for quite some time!

Nice! About the only thing that could make that a better knife is if it were a gift!

You’ve got some great ones, but this is right up near the top in my eyes. Right there with the Orchard Pal you showed us yesterday.

The second thing you should do when you get a new knife is put it in your pocket ( obviously I’m not a collector!).
The first being to sharpen it, because as I learned in Boy Scouts, a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. Plus, a dull knife is a sign of low morals, lack of character, and causes dandruff.
But man- this 72 was stubborn. It took about a full hour of Live PD to get some semblance of respectable sharpness.

Embarrassed to admit I haven't posted in this thread for more than 2 months, and I haven't even read many posts here in that time. I miss seeing all the fine knives everyone posts here daily; even when I see knives here that I have little interest in for myself, I enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of the poster for whatever the knife is. So I'm going to try to make this thread part of my daily routine again, as it was before I went into hibernation. I won't try to pretend that I can catch up on a couple months worth of daily posts, but here are some posts from the first few days of May that caught my attention.

Morning folks, hope everyone has a great May Day Carrying a large ebony Lambsfoot an one of Charlie's Anniversary TC Barlows

I decided to add my Vendetta by Jose Antonio Herreros
...

Admirable wood/bone/horn trio, Dread Pirate Jack!

Big-league brace of knives with pleasurable patina, Travman !

These two for me today, hoping for a speedy recovery for our friend Charlie.

Classy couple of cutting tools, Tom!

I'm totin' Slicey and Dicey today.

Dandy duo of imports, Stuart!

...
I bought this 1 retail back in the early 90's, long before I discovered the web for such things.
I used heaps but it still works good.

Exemplary old lockback, sir!

Happy Thursday All

Flawless foto of your first-rate lambsfoot, John!

Ulster Jack today

Grand and golden-brown goodness, Steve!

...
Sorry to be so brief, friends, but I'm off for a few days of fishing (and getting further behind on this thread).

- Stuart

Have fun, Stuart, and I hope you do some catching, as well!

I don't pocket the Ancient often. Was thinking of our friend this morning and it seemed like the thing to do.

I will have to agree with that

Handsome, high-class Ancients, Gary & Tim; I heartily agree with your sentiments!

...

That one far left would really need a close up

Intriguing trio, David, and I agree with JP about that jigged bone knife on the left!

...Here ya go! These my best glamour shots, taken just as the sun was setting behind me. Challenge Cut Co.
Edit: been carrying this one because Charlie liked it so when I first posted it. He provided some great info, for at the time I didn't even know harness jacks existed. This was the first I'd seen. So been in my pocket for Charlie

Thanks for the follow-up, David!!

On a hike today when we came across this very old accident in the woods. It seemed apropos to include one of Charlie's Ancient Barlows in a photo with the old jalopy (as well as an Orchard Gem).
...

Jaw-dropping jalopy pics, Dean, including a joyous pair of knives! I'm always amazed at how skinny the old steering wheels look once their "coating" comes off!

Thanks, Duckdog. r8shell's Home for Old and Wayward Knives is doing what it can for these old guys.
Today's centenarian is a Terrier, with perhaps the coolest tang stamp of all time.

...

Elderly and enthralling, Rachel!

In honor of Charlie...
Charlie helped me identify the model number for this knife, and he dubbed it the Half Stockman. I always think about Charlie when I look at this knife, and I think about his humor and how he has helped so many of us. Today I will carry this knife in his honor and send him all the good wishes I can muster. Get well soon Charlie.

...
I’m mixing my carries today with a #79 Workhorse Whittler in Ebony and #14 TC with Smooth Ivory Bone.

Kudos on that knockout pair, Ron!

Just picked up a Vic Electrician today, with TC for black Friday.

Congrats on the Electrician, @Jak3; a laudable, likable knife!

...
Something for Black Friday, and my Pioneer X. I don’t photograph the pioneer very often anymore, because it is almost always within reach. It is almost a permanent part of my rotation, whether in my pocket, or a bag, or a desk drawer at work.

Your brilliant blue Pioneer X is magnificent and memorable, Tom!

Another TC today.

Noteworthy shot of your noble Ancient, Dean!

Really like all the details of my new #33 Conductor

Congrats on that outstanding Conductor!

Finally have a chance to work outside some today as well as dry enough to mow some tall grass . Carrying both of these old Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoots and then out for Friday Fish Fry .

...
So I guess this has been a Two TEWs Friday this week .
Harry

Your two TEWs to use are terrific, Harry!

Pinch me! Am I dreaming?? What a paradigmatic peanut, Dwight!!

Today a pretty neat little auction find (got it for peanuts) showed up and went right in the pocket...an old Camillus 4-line Teardrop Jack EO in great snappy shape
