[Old Engineer]

It turned cold and breezy overnight, actually beginning to feel like hunting season, so I'm totin' a large (5.25") folding hunter, Queen model 38 (1950-1955).

Ive been carrying a Case Trapper in cv steel and amber bone lately (big surprise with my username I know). Gotta love a classic. Cases standard trapper pattern just checks all my boxes.

H&S, I failed to mention earlier that I like that Buck fixed blade (I use a 119) and I really like that Case 048 Slim Line.

Now, that's a knife!! Thanks for sharing it, Paul. It's all that it needs to be.

Beautiful BIIIIIG Knife my friend . Do you carry that or wear it ???

H&S, I failed to mention earlier that I like that Buck fixed blade (I use a 119) and I really like that Case 048 Slim Line.

The Slimline sure is a nice knife and my favorite for slicing cheddar at lunch. As with all case knives however I wish I could get in amber Jigged and CV, I'm just fine with the as ground stainless though.

The 119 is a great knife, I've not carried mine this year I don't believe because I've acquired a handful of smaller B&T types like this 102 woodsman or the new C&C exclusive 212 I just ordered but I still love the knife.
Love the 119 and have no problems carrying it, but it's a bit large and thick for cardboard at work.
Could and have but quickly decided smaller ones were a better idea, not exactly the safest with lots of people who don't know how to be careful when someone's using a knife, and don't believe me about how sharp I keep mine.
Belt knives are my favorite for utility at work, pry a good belt knife from my cold dead hands but you'll never get a modern one hander in my hands when I need a one handed blade.

Pretty pair of Robesons; that PocketEze pen is especially handsome, JJ!

Already Thursday, and I haven't posted ANY of the knives I'm totin' this week!
I always have a Big Knife of the Week, usually something around 4" closed. This week, my "official" Big Knife is a Rough Rider Half Hawk:

But several of my other weekly categories happen to be filled by sizable knives this week, a pleasant surprise!
International Knife of the Week is a Mercator Black Cat:

Stockman of the Week is a big Chinese Imperial stockman from a set of three (thanks, Mark):

My Miscellaneous knife of the Week is a Marbles Handyman's Helper II:

My Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Marbles 5" leg knife:

Thank you Gary!!! You certainly did a great job of "catching up" with your marvelous array of interesting cutlery!

@JJ Cahill - Many Thanks JJ. Such a fine, clean looking pair your 80s toothpick and Scout make.

Thank you kind Sir!!! You continue to create such highly artistic images with your wonderful Sheffield lovelies; awesome!

As much as I love those BB Winchesters, JJ, that Schrade-made scout is pretty special.

It turned cold and breezy overnight, actually beginning to feel like hunting season, so I'm totin' a large (5.25") folding hunter, Queen model 38 (1950-1955).

Thanks Stuart, I am a bit of a scout fanatic!!!
Your Queen is quite the beautiful beast; the Winterbottom covers are gorgeous!

Cool pair, JJ! The "art" on the handle of the Barlow looks very Tolkienesque.

Thanks again Gary; a form of Brownian motion!!!

Ace acrylics, JJ; that glittering toothpick is a treasure!

Thanks again Gary; a bit of decadence!

This, 2018 Bull Nose...

Both amazing slicers Paul but that "golden age" Challenge jack is breathtaking!

 

[JJ Cahill]

For Friday my totes are both scout patterns wearing black; a pre WWII BSA LF&C in Stagalon and a Victorinox Pioneer X in Alox.

 

[Chui]

.........yes, ok - hands up - guilty of overkill use of a knife. But what the heck, any excuse......

 

[Pt-Luso]

Can you shed a little light on this guy, please? Super interested in the design.

Sorry just now answer Shawn, this is a Parker Cut Co Stag Little Eagle Lockback knife.
This knife measures 3.25 inches closed.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Fine-looking stag lockback, José!

Many thanks Gary.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today with this old Portuguese knife Martins-Palaçoulo in my pocket.

 

[Will Power]

@5K Qs Thanks GT, as far as I know or see..Popcorn is fairly unusual on American Elk yes. Probably depends on where on the antler the slab was cut. Pere David for example, is usually smooth (and quite nice I think) but I've got an example with very deep grooves on both sides, not bad!

Regards, Will

Nicest WB Bone I've seen, lovely !

This, 2018 Bull Nose...

and this, old Challenge Cutlery Co (pre 1932) with Sheepfoot main and pen secondary

Beautiful bone on your Challenge Cutco !

 

[btmccutcheon]

It's been a while since I've carried this one, mainly because it is so special. Yes, it has a PPP on the blade, and only 20 like this were made. It's special because our own Pertinex gifted it to me a few years back. And yep, it made me cry when I say what she sent. Here's to a Friends or #15 Friday!

That Challenge is a beaut!

It's Old Friends Friday.

So nice! This is how spear blades were meant to be.
