Thank you very kindly good Sir!Ravishing vintage Robesons from Rochester, JJ, and equally enchanting "Surf & Turf"!I'd be hard-pressed to choose a favorite from those duos; coin flips say the Robeson pen knife and the Imperial EO swell end jack!
Fantastic foursome you have today Gary; always love an old Imperial but that BSA Sarge is very cool!Watch Pocket Knife of the Week is a Robt. Klaas mini canoe:
Big Knife of the Week is an Imperial USA 4" clip/pen toothpick (thanks, Dave):

It's a very nice knife and I think the pattern fits this purpose very well, especially with stainless blade steel vs the usual carbon steel. Unfortunately this reclaimed chestnut would beautiful as it is turns out to be very soft and sensitive making this more a showcase knife than an EDC. I wish they would have stabilized the wood better, more similar to my Trestle Pine knives. That would have made this an excellent user!

Happy Thursday
A very handy pair of tools to carry...
How do you like the Shard? I sometimes miss the screwdrivers, etc now that I'm not carrying SAKs and/or Leathermans.

It may be Thursday, but I'm still savoring posts from last weekend! 
When I see your faithful Ulster, I often have a thought similar to Rachel's about the stories the knife could tell. But she and I reach different conclusions. Because YOU were there with the knife, I'd really enjoy a thread in which you told some of the stories from that knife's illustrious past, sort of an Ulster biography as told from Harry's perspective!
, but for some reason I thought the pattern was a fairly recent addition to the Case line-up. Looks like I'm wrong (again )!
(I remember going to the bank early each May back in the '70s to get a fistful of $2 bills to take with me to Louisville where I'd meet friends to attend the Kentucky Derby festivities. Obviously, I visited the $2 windows to place my bets. )
Another brand I'll have to add to my "gotta find at least one" list.

Harry, I never noticed how translucent the covers of that pickled Churchill are; very cool!It's wonderful to see such honest use. I often say, "If this knife could talk..." But yours doesn't have to, since you were there for it all.

That's a championship-caliber trapper, LT!!
How old is your slimline trapper, Jeff? It's real attractive

My wife often buys dark chocolate-covered espresso beans at Trader Joe's; they're quite addictive!...
I didn't have much candy as a young 'un, but I think I'll have to seek these out. It's still only an occasional treat for me, but I do like chocolate-covered coffee beans, and this Polish candy when I come across it
...
What a pulchritudinous pair of pick bones, Rachel!...
Back to knife-talk! I'm on a pick bone kick.

Charismatic Case jack, Dean!Sunday carry

Another brand I'll have to add to my "gotta find at least one" list.What a beautiful Böker lockback with such a smooth profile!!
Scintillating scouts, JJ!Todays totes are a couple of scout cousins; a Remington BSA from the 1930's and a Pal from the 1940's.
Breathtaking Barlow, Bruce!Stuart and Steve, no doubt to me that both of your Barlows are wearing Ulster Meerschaum bone sawcut handles. Here is mine to add to the group. OH
Jeff, I showed your story to my wife to convince her that I'm not as weird as she thinks I am, but she just rolled her eyes and wouldn't even look at your delightful pair of knives!...
Off to see a doc, but stopped to pose my knives on one of my end-of-the-driveway rock walls. Didn’t notice the lady from up the road walking her dog until she asked if I was inspecting my rocks...Uh yeah. That’s it-looking at my rocks. What’s wrong, lady? Don’t you take pictures of your pocket knives?

That Sword Brand is a real attention-getter IMHO!!Carrying two first cousins from Camillus today – Sword Brand No. 70 Hiker and Craftsman 95241 pen.

Superior stockman, Dean!Case 6347 stockman.
I'm always changing my mind about which of your knives is my favorite, Harvey.
I think I may have to simply say my favorite is the one you've posted most recently. I do get chills from that triple-rattail I*XL, though! That cattle knife is A-1, Steve!SW Junior Cattle Knife and a #54 Harness Jack...
XLNT ebony lambsfoot 2018 SFO, Taylor!
Something I certainly considered, Jeff.5K Qs ~ Annual physical! If you weigh in with your full complement of weekly rotations and free choice knives of the day, Doc is going to either put you on a diet, or be impressed with your load bearing exercise routine!
Nice carries today, by the way.
I usually only have 7 of my knives in my pants pockets, while the rest are in my ever-present backpack, which doesn't get weighed at the doctor's office. I DID drop a couple of my knives from my pockets into the door pocket of my car before entering the building. Thanks for the MM sowbelly info, Dylan.
Thanks, Dean.
I've actually had it for over 1.5 years; I bought a trio of Cases at the time (Tribal Lock, chestnut jigged bone teardrop, and amber jigged bone canoe). The Tribal Lock surprised me in terms of how much I like the pattern, but I'm not very fond of the bone; it's quite different from the other example of harvest orange bone I have.Another supreme pair, JJ!My two totes for today are a couple from Cattaraugus; a Whit-L-Craft scout and a spey jack.
Capital couple of carries, Jack!...
Good luck with your exam Gary, nice carries there
...
Morning folks, hope everyone's week is going well so far. Going with my Ashley's Choice Lambsfoot SFO and a GEC #66 Serpentine Jack today
The doctor's office called me yesterday after receiving lab results from blood tests and told me I needed to get some follow-up tests done because of "abnormal CBC results". Something to do with possible anemia, I think.
Good knife for banana duty! I almost always slice my bananas because I eat them on peanut butter toast and/or on cold and hot cereal.
Thanks, John.Look out... GT has a BIG knife!
Looks like a great knife too.
...
I thought the Tribal Lock might be too big for my tastes, but I was wrong.Orange sodbuster is tough to beat!Happy Tuesday All
The week is just flying by...
Versatile twosome, Jeff; that PAL can raise blood pressure!
Econo canoe this week is from XYZ Brands:
