Beauty and the battle scarred Beast. That Buck looks like it will take whatever you give it and ask for more.

I will follow your Black ‘n White theme today, Jack.View attachment 1137518

Nice to be in such great company Ron

It's a unique lightweight little knife, the sort of knife that a backpacker might carry.

just dwarfs others
All the very best, Will

Thanks a lot for these three great knife-makers

Really like this Lannys Clip from Tony Conlon...........don't think I'm gonna lose it in a hurry

I work from home and whenever I open the fridge, suddenly there's one or both of my two boys there. This one, I'm sure, is a labrador, not a cat.........he'll eat any and everything off my plate...

WHAT A GREAT PICTURE !!!!
Nice knife and fantastic cat

One of my all-time favorite knives.

- thank you Yes, he's a bit of a character

 

[TheChunk91]

Today I am carrying a stockman that I like very much.

 

[RDaneel]

Thanks Dean. Nice sunken joints on that rig and beautiful background.

Thank you, Dwight!

The two SAK categories on my weekly schedule are filled by very similar knives this week.
Alox of the Week is a Vic red Alox Secretary, and non-Alox SAK of the Week is a Vic red celidor Pocket Pal:

A "dynamic duo" of Swiss penknives.

 

[RDaneel]

Today's 'tote.'

 

[Fodderwing]

Just happens to be a small farm 3 miles away that raises the Highland Cows.

That looks exactly like a Yak! Glad to hear your hand is healing well.

 

[Prester John]

Struggling (again) with my internet connection today I'm afraid, but just thought I'd post my carry before it dies on me again Have a great day folks

Nice pairing, Jack. Only thing I don't like about my 301 is the weak pull. Love the design and the shield, and the reversal of the sheepsfoot and castrator blades.
That ivory lambsfoot is "to die for."

 

[Peregrin]

TGIF Porchsters!
In keeping with Harry's law, "carrying stag on everyday that ends with a y", I'm totin these today.

The 83 today, one of my favorites.

Stag 73 & 83 are a couple of my favorite GEC knives (based on appearance ); thanks for posting them, Alan and @Pinemoon!

... a 1967 Wenger soldier which is my BY SAK.
...

A Birth Year Soldier is a phenomenal find, Steve!! Do you know if date-stamped Soldiers go back to at least 1951?

I finally bit the bullet on an alox cadet.
It will always be second to my recruit and I don't find it to be more knife for the money, but I definitely like it.
It's a great overall package.
...

Congrats on the Cadet, HnS! The Alox is definitely nice, but when it comes to knife function, I agree with you about the Recruit's superiority. I'd rather have the pen blade than the nail file.

...
Gorgeous trio of knives GT.

Thanks, Dwight.

2015 Yankee Jack in Antique Yellow Jig Bone.

...

That 2-blade 77 is superb, Paul; such a nice size for a knife!

Wood for Thursday:

Keeping it simple.

Simple and sublime, Vince!

It's a Mikov (Czech Republic).

Thanks for the ID, Jer; first one of those I've seen!

...
I had 16 broccoli and cauliflower plants to set out, and just cut an X through the fabric for each one. Used the old Eagle jack, and as you can imagine, stabbing through landscape fabric into the soil was rough on the edge. Since I had to clean and resharpen it today, and in appreciation for performing well yesterday, it’s with me again.
Also, the Craftsman folding hunter is in my pocket because I hope to make a sheath for it.View attachment 1137034View attachment 1137035

The Eagle has landed!! Big-time pair, Jeff.

Good morning everyone!

Lots of interesting contrasts between the knives in that pair, Ron; very cool!

...
The other is a Schrade Walden Old Timer minuteman, with sawcut delrin scales. They were apparently made from 1947 to 1973. It's main blade has been sharpened down some, but it's still got a lot of life left in it.
I need to clean up the rust from both of them, but they are fully serviceable as is.

That Minuteman is a desirable little pen knife!

Have been very lucky to have picked these two up recently and have used them to carve a spoon which, not being an expert whittler, I'm pretty pleased with. I borrowed a specialist spoon knife to create the bowl.

Alluring pair of knives, Mark, and that spoon is commendable!

Thank you, Gary! Your Buck stag Canoe is fancy and it is also rugged, top drawer.
...

Thanks, Dean; I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon that one!

That's an outstanding half-whittler, Dean! What cover material? (Do you and Jack Black share a "photo pool" for watery backgrounds? )

Utica Tungsten, Case, Wright, Vic.

...

That quartet provides you with a LOT of variety!

Heap of helpful hardware, David!

Work took a richly deserved back-seat today ...

Glad you had a chance to get out to enjoy the change of seasons, Will!

This trio apparently has some luck, the Blues won in overtime last night! Also something pretty cool: I was watching the game at a watch party at the Enterprise Center, the Blues home ice (the game was in Boston). The tv sound feed cut out during the National Anthem, so the fans finished singing it .

Congrats to you, your trio of knives, your team, and its fans, Tom! Did you also sing "Gloria" (the lesser version of songs with that name, IMHO )??

...
I've been carrying The Whale all week, testing how well the India ink stays put. All's well so far.

After you ink, do you apply some kind of "protective coat" to the knife to keep the ink from spreading or rubbing off?

Noteworthy knife, Nick!

... I ground/ filed the pen into a mini clip blade to uncover the main nick. ... I did the eo notch with a dremel drum sander. ... I finally chopped open the knife, removed the pen/clip and spring, and replaced the pin with the wrong material in not quite the right diameter. Then I dropped the knife point-down on the concrete floor. Jack Black thinks I may have voided the warranty.
...

I admire Jack's willingness to go out on a limb with his prediction/opinion.

...
As usual, I have one raised bed entirely planted in spinach, and another with two varieties of kale. The seedlings were about an inch high when the neighbor's chickens got inside the fence that I had to put up to keep them out and tore it all up. ...

Must be frustrating, Jeff! A prime example of "good fences make good neighbors."

...

Splendid pair today, Jack; it's right there in black and white!

My watch pocket knife for today...

Herpetologist's Heaven, John!!

A touch of Sweden today.

View attachment 1137539

Your Swedish massage pair is a sensual delight, Dave!

Little black Imperial for routine hospital visit, then back to Utica, Wright, Case, and Vic.
The Argentinian sidesword is in the frame for no very good reason.
...

Oxymoron Alert!!! I hope the hospital was as routine as you expected, Jer!

A sheepfoot,a lambsfoot,a sows belly and part stag, Chimera

Excellent description of a sensational sowbelly, David!

...
A "dynamic duo" of Swiss penknives.

Thanks, Dean. (I've started my "Asimov Summer" by picking up The Complete Robot, a compilation of robot short stories. Yesterday I read "Mirror Image", which featured you and Elijah Baley solving a dispute between 2 mathematicians. )

Today I present my Christy Sport Knife. Not getting much use because we are absolutely dead at work. Quietly waiting to open a package or two if need be.

 

[Prester John]

Stag seems to be the order of the day:

Also, this (amber bone):

Have a great Friday, everyone!
