I'm off out for a hike tomorrow, and carrying the same pair again
Hope everyone has a great weekend
...
A pair worth carrying is worth carrying twice.
These 2 today :

Harry
That's a notable pair, Harry!
Thanks fellas. Its been ruff at times but I have always wanted to be a one knife guy so i could have a honest pocket worn knife. I just love the look of a knife that's been carried for so long the blades worn down and the bones worn smooth. Just gotta make another 10 or 20 years
5K Qs
Just 1 blade keeps its simple
@Amir Fleschwund Your grandfather sure picked a beautie! Hard to beat ebony an easy open notch and a nice spear!
@RDaneel Thank you!
Emmer Knives custom Nessmuk and modded Opinel No. 8
That Opinel mod is splendid!
I worked in the yard all day and have missed most of the recent postings (will catch them up soon). It was overcast here, so I brightened my day with these - a Queen #13 switch pattern (1958-1960) and an Imperial premium jack (1946-1956).
...
My day got even brighter, though only temporarily, when a buddy dropped by to leave a knife with me for oiling/sharpening. I got to tote it for a few hours. A Case medium stockman (1971):
...
Man, I hated handing that one back.

Your double yellow is mellow, Stuart, and that Case stockman is definitely attractive!
You should hunt down a Case like that for yourself.
Thanks GT! Carrying this little traplifter again. So my process was just a simmer and soak in RIT dye. At first I tried Cherry Red but that ended up being dark magenta. So I tossed it in some Tangerine Orange and voila it was a nice blood red.
It’s just like my buddy Randy says “If at first you don’t succeed, dye, dye again.” ...
Thanks for the dyeing prescription, Doc!
My Saturday totes are a couple of wildly popular patterns from their countries of origin; a BSA Fieldmaster scout from Switzerland and a CJ Barlow from England.
I've been hanging around BF for more than 5 years, but I don't think I'm familiar with the maker of that nice Barlow.
At some point, I spent time trying to decide which model SAK would be best for me, and I decided that the Fieldmaster was optimal.
Surprisingly, I still haven't picked one up (but I do have an almost-identical Huntsman, with corkscrew instead of Phillips driver.)

Dark Wood and Ivory Bone makes a nice combination. There is no knife that makes you happier to slip into your pocket than a Beer Scout! The Charred Oak is the one that introduced me to GEC. I sure hope they bring us a new version one day with a name that survives the scrutiny of the Boy Scouts’ lawyers! If anyone is aware of a Sawcut Bone version that needs a new home, please let me know.
That's a quartet that could quench a lot of knife thirst!
That corset shield on ebony is classy.
Boker yesterday. Misplaced Hillbilly via Waverave Parker Eagle today.
Couple of noteworthy knives, Jer!
Will, I saw a display of Samuel Adams Octoberfest beer in my local grocery this past week - its time! Carrying two today, an HSB Jr. Cattle in my pocket and a Buck Esquire in a small leather belt pouch. OH...
Handsome pair of knives!
I've been drinking Leinenkugel Octoberfest for a couple of weeks already, and picked up a box of Samuel Adams Oktoberfest on Wednesday.

The pile side took the dye darker for some reason.

Every time I see you post one of your dog chew recovers, I admire your ingenuity and skill, Jeff!
Did you jig the bone yourself?
SW Junior Cattle knife and an old PAL for Saturday
Remarkable matching duo, Steve!
How big is the Junior Cattle knife? (Are they resting on a 4 x 4?)
Happy Saturday
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend
Sweet black/yellow combo, John; congrats on the trapper mod!
(I'd have dumped the clip and kept the spey.
)
I decided to go with my Possum Skinner this morning.I think it brought me good luck. I caught this nice Largemouth out of my backyard pond.
Nice fish and superb knife!
It skins possums; does it scale bass?
Nice guitar . I can just hear the song of the year. " My Nut Fell Off and I Can't Play No More".
Well folks I’ve made it!
The Good Lord has blessed me to be able to say “I’m 65” this morning!
...
Belated Happy 65th, Ron!!
Welcome to the magic of Medicare!
I'm going to have to get myself in gear or you're going to catch up to me in the age race!
Great photo of captivating knives, Gev!

Congrats on the sunny congress, Harvey!
(I typically think of "sunny congress" as an oxymoron.
)
...
the L'il Lambsfoot is back in the pocket today
...
LFLF: LambsFoot Looking Fine, Mike!
Today, I'm carrying for the first time a knife I bought several years ago. It is a Schrade USA Uncle Henry 885UH, King Ranch. Probably made in the mid 70s (its serial numbered).
...
Looks grand, Dean!
What made you decide to start carrying it now?
...
Decisions, decisions …
Sensational sextet!
Thanks, Gary, I like seeing you with the ram's horn, too!
Thanks, Jeff.

Looking closely at your Case Delrin Peanut, I see that the main blade looks extremely pointy and sharp.
Marbles Sowbelly is top drawer as is Black Jack. With your new schedule now active, I am looking forward to new knives and combinations.
Thanks for the compliments, Dean.
My peanut would have looked even pointier if my pic hadn't cut off the tip.
I hope the new schedule doesn't disappoint you; not a lot of new knives, but I'm sure there are many new (essentially random) combos due to the way I put it together with each category independent of the others.
...
Your schedule was very kind to you this week. All three are super nice.
Thanks, John.
I have different numbers of knives in each category, so for each category, I listed all the knives I have of that type and then repeated that list until I reached 52 weeks. I tend to put the knives I like best at the start of the list because I know they'll end up being carried a little more often than the end of the list. (Sort of like in baseball, the best hitters are put at the top of the batting order so they'll get more chances to hit.)
Life has been hectic and I haven’t been on here much lately. This thread moves fast with great knives as usual! Happy birthday Ron!!
Half/Stop

I really like that all-metal photo, Nick!
I gotta go grill some meat, so I'm going to have to stop for now.
