For my totes today, I'll step back into the 21st century with a couple that are made the way they were in the last century; a GEC Stockman and a GEC Harness Jack.:rolleyes:

That blade assortment should meet any cutting needs. I think it's cool when I pull out a GEC to use or show someone, and they ask "How old is that?" They know I like vintage knives, and with a patina wouldn't think it was something in current production.
I'm carrying two knives made in 2019: a white bone Pemberton and a #29 Stockyard Whittler I have named 'Ramen'.

I haven't carried this one yet, but I'm going to change that today.
It's a small Small Space Shuttle Lambsfoot by Parker Cut Co, Japan.

I figured you would like that pattern Rachel :thumbsup:

Yep. :thumbsup: It's got a blade with belly, a short straight edge and a punch: a perfect combination. :cool::thumbsup: I plan to carry it every day for at least a month. The bone color and jigging is just okay now, but I have a feeling that it will mellow out with wear to something really nice.
Of course, I'm not promising to carry it all by itself. I'll usually have a smaller peanut-like knife, and something larger like a Lambsfoot. It's a fine middle-sized knife.
Taking lots of pre-patina photos:

Hmm...only one criticism; I think they put the shield on upside down. o_O

I gave up fishing because it was way too exciting for me. I have been known to partake in a Yuengling Lager from time to time though. (Like everyday!)

We had plenty of Yuengling to keep you calm during the brief frenzy.

Nice haul Stuart; I'm sure you made quick work of those bluefish with your Dexter-Russell!;)

Thanks, guys. Yes, JJ, they went quickly, but now I'm helping tend a smoker for several hours on a warm day (thank goodness for remote sensing thermometers).

Temperature outside at 93° (feels like 98°) not withstanding, Miss Norma has decided that "we" need to put up a butterfly house before the predicted rain storms arrive later today. That means "someone" needs to lift some clay to stick an 8' 4X4 post 3' into the ground. I must have mentioned Ron's Half/Stop Half/Stop raised bed ruckus of yesterday to plant that idea in her head. Anyway, into the furnace . . .

Be careful in the heat Stuart! Remember it’s rough on elderly gentlemen such as us! :eek: But always also remember, “Happy wife! Happy life!” :thumbsup: ;)

Great stockman, Dean! :cool::cool::thumbsup: Coincidentally, I cut myself last week when I fumbled the knife while setting up a glamor shot of the canoe Rachel scrimshawed for me. :rolleyes: No stitches or bone showing, but definitely the worst knife cut I've ever had.

Thanks, Dean. :) Your navy blue Tribal Lock has nice dark blue all the way to the bolster, which I think is optimal! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Excellent photo of your Fine TC Barlow, Dean! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Aww shucks, Gary; thank you for your compliments. I think everyone on BladeForums has probably cut themselves accidentally at least once - a knifenut right of passage. :)

I had never heard of that stuff until I went off to college. A girl I knew seemed to eat little else.
This #29 Whittler is really testing my resolve to be happy with what I have. Maybe if I didn’t buy one of the recently available #21 Bull Busters...but I like the smaller Bullnose no much, I jumped on it.
Anyway, look forward to seeing you put some patina on her!
