[Half/Stop]

Classy pairing Ron

That looks great Ron, Coffin Jack is a nice pattern Hope your appointment went well

Hope everyone is having a good Friday 13th Carrying my 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot SFO, and an Old Friend in the form of an IXL Sheepsfoot today

Thank you for the compliments Jack! It’s always great to see an 18 in the wild. They are such wonderful knives. The IXL Sheepsfoot is a beautiful old classic!

Half/Stop ~ It’s funny how when we get good news from the doc we don’t ask for a second opinion...

You hit the nail on the head Jeff!

Again today : IMHO it is the Knife Of The Year


Harry

It would definitely be in the running Harry!

Just what the doctor ordered!! Glad to hear you are in the pink of health, Ron.

Thanks Stuart!

 

[Gevonovich]

These two today for me. Easy to see which one has seen use and which hasn't.

Gorgeous lockback

Looks like a very useful pairing Dylan. Cool mug too!

Thank you, Jack! They are certainly quite the workhorses. Lovely pictures of your '18 and the ol' IXL.

With that blade and the micarta, the ‘17 BF knife looks like a great user. But they don’t get shown much here.
Love the belt knives from yesterday and today. You’ve got some nice ones!

Thank you so much, Jeff! The '17 BF knife was the first forum knife that I had any part in. Despite being a darned near indestructible material, I do think a lot of folks here (myself included sometimes) find it to be a bit off-putting as it doesn't conform well to the traditionalists in us where we favor bone, stag, and wood. From a user standpoint, there is hardly anything better and I do prefer it on my fixed blades. From an aesthetic standpoint though, it takes a backseat to most natural materials, in my humble opinion.

That is an intriguingly attractive bolster stamp, Gev, I like it!


A couple clad in black for me today.

A little U.S.-made 33OT refitted with stag...

 

[hornetguy]

My two for today were this calf roper in micarta, and my new to me Case smooth appaloosa bone jack... the Gurkha Governor's special blend is a new one for me, as well. All of them, Sleeping Beauties, IMHO....

 

[Half/Stop]

Running late again! Been totin these today.

Pulled out my 34OT today.

My totes for today are a couple of Keen Kutters from post WWII, both wearing black composite covers.

Thank you JJ. Your two Kutters are Peachy Keen.

@Jack Black - Thank you Jack. It would be great if before I “shuffle off this mortal coil,” I could take in this view with you and your 2018 Ebony. Followed by a few pints. Cheers!

Gevonovich - That’s a nice beautiful old Barlow, Gev.

D Duckdog - Thank you Stuart. Beautiful knife pairing and image.

I get such a kick out of this knife.

A very complete photo, LT; no info needed.

My totes for today are a couple of Keen Kutters from post WWII, both wearing black composite covers.

I am keen for that pair, JJ. Very NEAT looking.

Tasty, Jack. The IXL looks ready for the holidays.

I’ll stick with the 23 and ww2 jack today.View attachment 1248274 Have a great weekend, folks!

Good decision and a fine photo, Jeff. Kudos on both.

Camillus #17 Jack and a Buck 303 today

Both are nice, Steve. The Camillus is VERY nice.

TGIF!
Have a great weekend, folks!

The drop point fixed blade is sweet, Gary. You have recently shared some other nice FBs - thanks!

Case Sowbelly in camouflage Kirinite and Case Texas Jack.

The pigbelly is a beaut, Dean. Thanks for sharing, as I had not seen it or those covers before.

The KNIFE OF THE DAY!! What a treat! Thanks, Gev.

A little U.S.-made 33OT refitted with stag...

A very nice mod on a fine knife, Wayne. Well shown.

Thanks, Stuart. I'm at that place in my life where I can usually carry a sheath knife. I'm retired, suits are hanging in the closet and I can pretty much do as I please. I'd never be without one if I had my way.

 

[SteveC]

Thanks Stuart !

I understand, Gary, as my situation is the same. I've been carrying a fixed blade more often than I've posted (just lazy about taking them out for pics). Today, it was, after I put away the candy colored pair in late afternoon, this one for my buddies-at-the-bar session:

Great Black Friday choice JJ

Hope everyone is having a good Friday 13th Carrying my 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot SFO, and an Old Friend in the form of an IXL Sheepsfoot today

Thank you very much Jack!!! Very cool combo of wonderful Sheffields for your today; the older sheep is watching over (or under) the young lamb!

I’ll stick with the 23 and ww2 jack today.

Have a great weekend, folks!

Great image of your Camillus couple Jeff; the burly 23 and the tough EO Jack make an excellent pair!

It is a cold, overcast, drizzly day here, so I'm totin' some color for "warmth". A VANCO premium pen (1888-1940) and a Royal Brand "SharpCutter" physician's knife (1914-1954):

Really digging those old candy-stripers Stuart; those covers certainly liven up any day!

I am keen for that pair, JJ. Very NEAT looking.

Thank you very much kind Sir!!!

Thank you JJ. Your two Kutters are Peachy Keen.

Real Lamb Foot, Real Glock.

Thank you Harvey!!! Very cool image of your Glock's "business end" providing overwatch for your lamb; great couple!
