Beautiful stag Harvey!

Stuart, great carry choices for today! It’s good to see Loki!

 

Thank you kindly, Ron.

 

All eventualities covered

Those two look lovely together Harvey

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start Rosewood and ebony for me today

 

Midday switcheroo! Scored this gorgeous ebony #35 in a trade. Gonna go with it this week.

 

Many thanks Jack...

 

Many thanks Stuart...

 

Many thanks Gary...

 

Thank you Jack. The Rosewood looks very rich in this image.

 

Yard carries today were a couple of Camillus, a Schrade/Imperial, and a Buck.

 

Cold pizza from last night at a Minnesota rest stop.

 

Carrying all 3 may be a bit ambitious, but the pocket organizer I tossed together freed up my watch Pocket where the Texas jack is now comfortably riding.
The little Sabre pen fits perfectly in the little gap between the two organizer pockets.

 

Today with two Case mini trapper!

 

In many ways cold pizza can be better than hot, especially with a beer or glass of wine

It can add to patina as well Interesting backspring on that knife and fine bone, what is it?

Regards, Will

 

Thanks Harvey

 

I don’t hang out here much any more, largely because about 3-1/2 years ago I found my favorite knife pattern. I’ve been carrying it daily and nearly exclusively ever since.

In fact, I like it so much that I've been slowly divesting myself of all my other knives (both traditional and modern). I actually bought another as a spare in case this one is ever lost or severely damaged. This knife is "enough" for me.

The knife that caused me to forsake all others and empty my knife drawer? The Winchester #3949 Sowbelly Stockman. This one has been in my pocket — in this slip — since around November of 2015. It gets used daily around the farm and out in the woods. It does hard work and isn't babied, but it is taken care of like a quality tool should be.

Oh, I tried some other sowbellies, such the Case 3339CV, but the Winchester proved to be exactly what I want. As a result I’ve felt no need to regularly carry, let alone shop for, anything else.

Yes, I could contribute here more often, but it would just be a picture of this knife every single day. I wouldn’t get bored, but you probably would!

 

Micarta Monday!

 

Two epic knives today. I’m so glad I decided to include the micarta 77 Barlow.
