[cigarrodog]

@kai76 - Thank you, Nick.

 

[JJ Cahill]

A gift I love from a turkish friend

A wonderful gift paired with a lovely Barlow; beautiful image!!!

2015 Single Sheep, not a mattress bag is safe in the joint

The jigging on your 15 is amazing, Paul!!! It looks almost like the legendary NYKCo jigging!!!

Today I’m carrying a pair of knives. They may share a common blade shape but they are uniquely different. They are well made, beautiful and functional tools. Did I mention the WOOD? After all it is Wednesday! Y’all have a good one!

An excellent pair of Lambsfoot knives and an outstanding sunrise? shot!!!

Camillus Radio Jack and a Rams Foot

Great pair, really cool Radio Jack, Steve!

Robeson Tear Drop

I am a major Robeson fan and your tear drop is a wonderful sight, Gev!!!

Wednesday rosewood in the rosemary.

An excellent pair that look very happy working together Rachel!!!

Wonderful shot of your horn clad lambsfoot, Harvey!!!

Really pleased with this new to me old Schrade cut co.

Wow Nick, you really have a keen eye for very cool old traditional knives; great shot, too!!!

My new favorite.

I can certainly see why; what a beauty!!!

Came in yesterday, in my pocket today.

I love the scout pattern and you really acquired quite a gem!!!

It is wooden Wednesday, after all...

Those three wooden wonders look amazing together, Dylan!

Plain Canoe of the Week is a Remington with burl covers:

Super foursome you put together Gary!!! The phrase "Which boat would you like Mam, I have 3 canoes today?" popped into my head.

[Rose and Thistle Custom]

Waynorth in the far North. The claymore pin is the McLaren badge, I'm Lawrence which is a sept of the McLaren's so we get to wear the badge. (If I understood correctly)

 

[JJ Cahill]

Today my tote pair will be a couple tough hombes; a 1957 Wenger Swiss soldier knife and a super slicer '65-'69 Case Barlow.

 

[Will Power]

One of this lot, but which one?

The Ivory Bone I think!

 

[Rose and Thistle Custom]

Those are all 15s? How do you like that nifebright one?

 

[Will Power]

Yes, all 15 Barehead singles. The Nifebright is tough stuff, attractive and its visibility in the dark when 'charged' is cool. Goes well with a Sheepfoot in patina

 

[Rose and Thistle Custom]

Good taste, the 15 seems about perfect to me. I'm keeping my eyes open for one of the Nifebright like that. Also looking at the #35 Calf Roper since the 15 Nifebright is pretty hard to find.

 

[Ripcord 82]

Just got this Case Barlow CV yesterday so I think I'll tote it around today.

 

[5K Qs]

Pretty knife, GT.

It's such a slim carry, you hardly notice it in the pocket.
Close enough to the GEC #48 that it keeps me from spending a small fortune on one.

Thanks, John.
Interesting comment on your slimline trapper and GEC #48. I often follow a similar process: I'll admire GECs or Cases or whatever that folks display here, and then search for a Rough Rider that IMHO is "functionally similar".

These two:

Attractive couple, Vince; the covers on those two, although stag and bone, match quite well visually!

Good Morning!

The reflection in your glossy horn is really cool, Dave! Here's a winter sunset I accidentally caught in my 2017 horn Guardians lambsfoot:

Thanks GT! That particular wasp and it's entire family are no longer with us . Nice carries, glad that Farmer is earning it's keep

These two today:

As usual, you've got a nice fixed/folder pair, Tom! The Farmer you sent is superb, and probably going on vacation with me starting Saturday! Remind me to never sting you in the face!

5K Qs Thank you G.T. That RR Electrician rules.

Thanks for the RR Electrician comment, Harvey; it's a solid knife and I love the shield motto. Your photo with the "mystery knife" silhouette is intriguing!

Nice selection Gary !

Waynorth and an Imperial today

Thanks, Steve. Fabulous old/new combo for you!

Thanks so much for the compliments Gary!

I’m totin a Ram and a Lam today! Both I feel are exceptionally well made slip joints! Did I mention that they’re not too bad shabby to look at either!

These for me again today
...
Harry

Ron & Harry, you gentlemen "are of one mind" when it comes to choosing your pairs this day (and when it comes to your upcoming travel plans)!

Thank you for your compliments on my knives, Gary. I just finished Prelude (again) a few days ago, too. I'm reading Forward the Foundation now.

A fine group of multi-blades, Gary. The Boker Stockman is a fine looking knife.

Thanks, Dean. I hadn't remembered the important role knives play during Hari & Dors tie in the Dahl sector. And the fact that, although knives were illegal, they could be purchased at any store displaying a washing machine was amusing. I've also moved on to Forward the Foundation, but so far have only been reading it in bed, which means only 1 or 2 chapters per day before I nod off.

Sweet Swayback, Dean! Case jigs the heck out of that pattern! (Looks like quite a sizable barn in the background of your pic.)

...
I meant to add a second knife today, but have been rushing around so much, my Lucy has been on her own

When Lucy is left to her own devices, seems that trouble often ensues and blood is often spilled!

... I agreed to thin the herd, and have been sitting (sometimes outside with a cigar) with a trusty Imperial small serpentine jack (1946-1956) cutting out articles that need another reading. Come on, Cocktail Hour!!

It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it now and then! Is that knife 3 1/8"? Except for the covers, that knife looks similar to the one my wife got from her father sometime, found in a box in January 2014, gave to me at that time, and got me interested in pocket knives again after a 45 year hiatus.

Handsome knife, Paul!

Couple of ravishing recent releases, Taylor; congrats!

...
Well deserved as usual!!! Yes, my father saw everything from music to economics as having an elemental basis in mathematics. He was an economist who began his career at the the RAND corporation in the late 1950's, continuing as a senior advisor with RAND/DOD for his entire career. This gave him unprecedented access to many of the worlds leading mathematicians, which he relished!

Thank you Gary!!!

You always have an extremely well rounded set of knives for your weekly carry; very cool!!!
...
Thanks again Gary!!! The Robeson reminds me of a late '50s Cadillac convertible, built like a brick ship yard!
...

Thanks for your thoughtful replies, JJ. There were a lot of "heavy hitters" hanging around RAND/DOD back in the Cold War days!

Alox Farmer today.

One of my favorite SAKs! Is that a black one?

...
Mine today.

Cool photo of your horn with the cool bolster! The background inspired me to look up that album on Wikipedia, and I learned the origin of the title; that story must be a favorite of a bike guy like you!

Today I'll have a wooden covered pair; a '20s-'30s Robeson Electrician wearing Walnut and a somewhat recent Le Compagnon "Le Thiers" knife by Chambriard wearing Juniper.

Lovely ligneous selections!

Thanks for the 25 show this week, Travman !

Definitely desirable duo, Jeff!

My "fancy" Boys Knife today...

Rockin' the rojo mojo!

Today I’m carrying a pair of knives. They may share a common blade shape but they are uniquely different. They are well made, beautiful and functional tools. Did I mention the WOOD? After all it is Wednesday! Y’all have a good one!

Instant classic lambsfoots, Ron!

Wednesday carry: CSC double ended jack for Wooden Wednesday and my TC Barlow 14 just because.

Good wood for midweek, Dean!

You're never in a pickle when you've got a Presidential!

Wednesday rosewood in the rosemary.

Ravishing!

Am I cruel if your teardrop makes me smile, Dave?

Wooden Wednesday!

Parsley, sage, rosewood on time!

I don’t garden as much as I used to, but these marigolds self-seed every year.

Well done GT you caught the winter scape in the horn.

Happy Yorkshire day to our friends over there!

Flatly essential fine knife function filetting froward coffee containers

 

[Half/Stop]

An excellent pair of Lambsfoot knives and an outstanding sunrise? shot!!!

Thank you JJ!

Ron & Harry, you gentlemen "are of one mind" when it comes to choosing your pairs this day (and when it comes to your upcoming travel plans)!

Instant classic lambsfoots, Ron!

Thank you Gary! I do think that Harry @Old Engineer and I have common tastes in Cutlery. We also have something else in common by the fact that we both married well above our pay grade!

A Happy Yorkshire Day to all!

 

[HFinn]

The small Kephart - style knife by Blind horse knives with the pocket sheath I made. I have allready ordered a Brisa Trapper and kicked myself in the leg not remembering a Kephart style blade might have been even better, like the Ka-bar Becker Kephart. I like the sturdy tip and the simple lines of this kind of knife. Of well, maybe I will get also a Kephart and make a review of both?

 

[r8shell]

An excellent pair that look very happy working together Rachel!!!

Ravishing!

Thanks, guys! Happy Yorkshire day, everyone!
