[2Dead]

Had the #15 in my pocket but just switched it out to the #68 to give that one some more carry time.

Hartshead Barlow to start the day.

Beautiful mountain stream image John.

Totin' these two today

Gorgeous Steve. I greatly enjoy your use of wood in your photos.

Thank you, Dwight! That's a neat jack you have; I like natural bone. When you say 'vicious snap,' do you mean break your finger while cutting part of it off vicious? I have a Case sheepfoot that scares the snot out of me when I close it.

Maybe not quite that bad Dean!

What ever the station of life that you've become
Whatever the weave that you've spun
In the name of the father
The name of the son
With the crack of the timber
And the sound of the end of the world fills your ears
May the angels protect you
When the last ship sails

Lovely meditation and ethereal cutlery image.

Always interesting array of cool stuff. I can't imagine what that gold colored thing is on the left but I like it.

I'm heading out tomorrow morning @ o'dark hundred hours to fish with my son and our neighbor at the mouth of the Potomac River in the Chesapeake Bay. We'll be casting for cobia, jigging for bluefish, and trolling for Spanish mackerel, in that order, for two days. See y'all on the flip side. I'm totin' these two for cigar nipping, bottle opening, and fish filleting, in that order.

Have a great fishing trip Stuart. Here's to tight lines and good fellowship. Cheers!

Thank you, Dwight and that thing is a steam punk replica of a WW1 trench lighter...wow

I was just about to say the same thing, Gev. A trench lighter, steampunk style. It sure is beautiful.

Yes it is indeed ! Frank sure has some fine accoutrements. I still think about his sea turtle medallion...amazing.

All three are lovely but I really like the wood on the Robeson.

Thanks Dwight! Based on the tang numbers is either walnut or cherry; my guess is walnut

Have a great week all. Swanworks, Ohligs A wonderful little knife with a vicious snap!

That is a very fine old beauty! I love those old "hard snapping" jacks!

Lots of cool people tote TL-29s!
And thanks for your kind comment about the one I modded.

That's a cool TL-29 your toting today! Your mod came out awesome!

Totin' these two today

I'm in agreement with @Amir Fleschwund! If I'm not mistaken your Utica is a pre WWII beauty

Always looking at and for the older Traditionals (that I can afford), especially those from Sheffield(Thank you @Jack Blade for this wonderful addiction). I came upon this TEW, even though I think something is missing.

Your Sheffield gem certainly is photogenic; wonderful shot!

Have a fun filled fishing journey! I really admire Dexter-Russell with it's nearly 200 year U.S. Cut Co legacy; my favorite fixed slicers!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Thought I'd go with a young Trapper from GEC and a rough old EO Jack from NYKCo

 

[Jack Black]

Morning folks Here's me today

Edit - Thought I'd add this one to my wes'kit pocket

 

[Pomsbz]

Not made to sit in the cupboard.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today with Parker little eagle, weird knife with magnificent stag!!!

 

[5K Qs]

Bodacious Barlow, GT.

Good Evening
The Hartshead Barlow served me well today

Thanks, John. A little bird told me the same could be said for you!

Lovely pic of your rosewood barlow, Gary.

Thanks, Vince.

Thank you, Gary. The quarter inch difference between the mini muskrat and the muskrat seems small but if very noticeable when carrying and using.

I was going to do an eighth day of redbone carry, but a week is only seven days.

Nice lambsfoot Barlow you have there.

Thanks for the reminder that .25" can make a big difference in pocket knives. I learned that early on in comparing a Case peanut (2 7/8") and a little Imperial serpentine jack (3 1/8"), but I sometimes forget.

I was unduly influenced by a song titled "Eight Days a Week".
Thanks for the Barlow comment, Dean.

5K Qs Nice Barlow GT!

Inspired by JJ Cahill and Fodderwing , I’m toting a Robeson too.

Tip of the hat to you for showing that beauty, Nick!

Morning church, White Icthus Case Mini-Copperlock, evening church, Case Sodbuster Jr. in Yellow Delrin.

Is that mini copperlock smooth synthetic, or is it part of the white jigged SPARXX series?

Thank you, sir. It is indeed uniform on both sides and the F&F as a whole is excellent. When Case are on their game they can make a knife as good as anyone, IMO.

Thanks for the follow-up info.

...
I'm starting to feel you pain! I'd better get more organized

Your new Hartshead Barlow is quite a nice addition!!!

Thanks, JJ.

I recently found another old TL-29 and thought about the knives a Hollywood gaffer would have carried in the "Golden Age" of movies. I came up with these three to tote from that great era

All 3 look dependable, but the Hammer Brand cattle knife is the pick of the litter IMHO!

This 73' whittler has been in my pocket for the past few days...

WW, that is an absolute jewel, Jeff!

...
Lambarjack is looking fine. So we gonna make the name one word?
...
Have a great week all. Swanworks, Ohligs A wonderful little knife with a vicious snap!View attachment 1153924

Dwight, I think I will go with one word, but with caps for LBJ.
The knife you posted is an eye-opener for me; sehr gut!

Going with the new (to me) WT today.

Wild acrylic handles, Jeff; congrats!

Sawcut Black Cherry TC Barlow (14).

I always enjoy your pics with that little pond in the background, Dean!

Handsome knife, Dave! It reminds me of a GEC 38, but I don't think it actually is one, is it?

These two today.

Two folder day!! Now you're talking, Tom!

Tim, how often do you have to pinch yourself to make sure you're not just dreaming that you have that sensational knife?

Chinese made Schrade, kinda a maroon purplish bone, would look great in smooth bone. Looks good in sawcut though. This is the best of the China Schrades I've seen, only fault is a tiny gap between a spring and center liner. This is the big lumberjack model, and it blows the delrin one I picked up outta the water.

Beast Mode!!
