I've got my stacked leather LC for today (among others).View attachment 1155776

That's a very distinctive knife, Alan, and I always enjoy seeing it!

... This evening the Hot Dogs were out in full force at my house! ...

...

Looks like a real Fourth of July Feast, Ron! Do your dogs have both chili AND potato salad on them?? I've never heard of that before, but it's a fantastic idea!!

...
Thanks Gary! You certainly have assembled a mighty foursome today, excellent!

Today I'll be toting these two solid cutters; a Pal scout and a KK jack.

Thanks for your positive comment, JJ. That pair you posted sure has bounteous beautiful jigged bone!

Great knives everyone!
This is my first post here in this thread. ...
Here's what I have today. A 1945 Ibberson 'Burma Knife':

Along with this Case Medium Stockman which I have with me everyday:

Welcome to The Porch, M Marlingspike12 ! Your pair are classics!

Have a great weekend View attachment 1155965

Very cool photo, Dwight! It reminds me of one of my favorite legends from the history of mathematics, with the "punchline", "The lion is known by his paw!"

Buffalo Horn 4 1/8" Camillus made Moore Maker Trapper for me today. Simple and elegant, the "little black dress" of knives.

View attachment 1155976

Elegant indeed! But only a Texan would consider 4 1/8" trapper a "little" pocket knife!

Good Morning Everybody
I'm in the mood for a little Stockman today...

Holy Cow, John, that's a gorgeous knife!

Thank you my friend, that is an excellent post Not very often I have to look up the meaning of a word - consanguinity!
...

Glad I could stimulate your gray cells, Jack! My high school Latin classes (and the context) helped me correctly guess the meaning of that word.

Sensational photo, Harvey! I didn't even notice the blade of that knife until my third viewing - I was fixated on the mesmerizing checkered covers!

Outstanding Case Barlow; amazing jigging IMHO! I wasn't even aware of that specific model until I noticed 3 or 4 of them in the past 3 days, and suddenly I'm wondering if I can live without one (even though I'm not really a Barlow guy).

Splendid pair of knives for work, David! But what are your columns of numbers? At first I thought they might be temperatures because I thought that was a thermometer at the top of the pic, but you're not going to get all those fractions off that scale. (Not even sure anymore that it's a thermometer - why would 22.5 be marked?)

Today's carry: Ancient TC Barlow and Case Sway Back Jack.

Delightful duo, Dean!

I reread it now and then. Marvelous document. You should look up the Texas Declaration of Independence too. Are we the only state with a declaration of independence?

I found a Wikipedia page about declarations of independence, and it looks like Texas has TWO of them, one directed at Mexico and one directed at USA. A few other former Confederate states apparently have declarations of independence for their secession from the Union.

Thanks, Gary. Your Declaration of Independence knife quotes have been inspiring!

Thanks, Dean. It was very educational for me to study the document looking for quotes I could use.

Exactly. I have this one with a clip/pen, another with a clip/spey, another with a clip/wharn, and another with a single wharn. Now I'm hunting one with a single clip (that doesn't say Ford on it).

That's a very cool "subcollection" based on getting all the blade combos for a given pattern. That would be more engaging to me than trying to collect all the handle options for a specific blade combo of a pattern.

Gary, that leg knife is a hoot.

Glad you haven’t lost your Marbles, GT, because that’s a leggy beauty.

Your Senator is quite dignified and handsome.

...
Very cool leg knife GT! Did Rachel do the scrimshaw for you?
The Senator is looking very Senatorial.

...
Your long legged knife pairs nicely with your stag A. Wright!

Never thought I'd say this: That's a sexy knife you have there, Gary.

Thanks for all the comments, guys, especially on the leg knife. I once wrote down all of the different topics of conversation I thought that knife could start, and wanted to do a thread on knives that were "conversation pieces", but it hasn't happened yet. Dwight, that's "factory scrimshaw" on the knife, but Rachel recently did some amazing scrimshaw for me that I have to post today sometime!

...
Thanks Gary, it may be a chore but I'll still implement the caplifter from time to time
...

These 2 are becoming a habit for me . Use the new one and just have the old one in the other pocket for balance .

...

Harry

Outstanding pair, Harry! I just asked my wife if she wanted me to sign us up for class involving balance exercises, but maybe I just need to get the right pair of knives!

Ok got her all cleaned up and lubed .
She looks beautiful again
Really like the looks of this Case xx Canoe and feels so good in hand !

...

Thanks ! I think you’ll be very happy with it. This was my first canoe pattern and it feels really good in hand .
I have to be honest the covers is what sold me on this one lol and the bolsters. But after handling the Canoe pattern I was shocked how comfortable and natural feeling it was in hand .

That canoe is definitely a looker!! The quad-threaded bolsters are superb, and I like whatever that variation of amber jigged bone is. 5 years ago, I had never seen a canoe pattern and happened to get one in a set of 12 Rough Riders I bought. Once I carried it, I had a hard time getting it out of my pocket! Now I have dozens of canoes.

Whole lotta shakin' goin' on around here!!! I'll be totin' a couple trusty Remingtons today

I hope there's not too much damage with those quakes, JJ! Two more astounding old knives!

Splendid pair, Jeff! And, just a little insight into my geezer mind, the sight of your elk Buck somehow triggered for me pleasant thoughts of Elke Sommer, a movie star from my youth!

Me and RALF, out on the deck this morning.

Has RALF been doing some hoeing, Jeff? He looks none the worse for wear from using whatever garden tool that is.

Carrying this #16 that came yesterday

Congrats on your new Camillus, Steve!

Think I'll make room for all of these today:

Case 6318, medium stockman.

Terrific trio, Vince! I went with cargo shorts today to make some extra room.

Scratted Saturday.

Sensational handles on that one, Dean! (It reminds me that I want to try doing that to a wood-handled MAM I have.)

View attachment 1156692

Congrats on the Hartshead Barlows, Dave! I didn't even realize that yours had arrived, or that you were getting both stag and rosewood versions; don't break an ankle dancing for joy!!

Today it’s a Case 6247PEN from 1980. This is my favorite large/slim knife. It’s 3 7/8” closed with a full length clip blade and a shorter pen. They’re not easy to find, but don’t seem to command big bucks either. My guess is that most who will carry this size end up with a two spring medium stockman for the third blade, but sometimes I really appreciate the tidy, slim profile of this single spring pen knife.

Thanks, GT! instead of the usual 6 to 9 weeks delivery time, it only took 3 weeks As far as announcing there arrival I chose this time to casually post photos rather than a post with a big bang

Congratulations Dave! It’s a beautiful knife!

Looks like a real Fourth of July Feast, Ron! Do your dogs have both chili AND potato salad on them?? I've never heard of that before, but it's a fantastic idea!!

It was a great meal Gary! I’ve never heard of potato salad on a hot dog either! Those hot dogs were topped with yellow mustard, chili with beans and HOT SLAW! I would call that a southern style hot dog!

I’m up and wide awake with excitement and anticipation for the women’s World Cup final this morning! Go Team USA!!!

I’ll have these two close by today!

 

[chuck4570]

Chuck, what's the cover material on the Buck? I have a stockman in the same but can't recall what it is.

I just received this on July 5th from a member, don’t know a whole lot about it. It definitely looks like brown jigged bone, it’s not synthetic.
It’s one sweet little knife, it will see a lot of pocket time.

Splendid pair of knives for work, David! But what are your columns of numbers?
- GT

Thanks GT, the numbers are measurements for shoe moulding I was installing. The notations beside the measurements are my short hand to help remember where I am. Especially helpful in kitchens with allot counters to go around.I measure and write down an entire room at once, then cut the peices. So for example, 23 1/8 with 45 in/90 would mean a 23 1/8 inch long piece starting with a 45 degree inside cut ending with a 90 degree cut. I always go from left to right. The thing at the top in the pic is my mitersaw,with the degree Mark's on the base.
