[Gevonovich]

My Sunday totes are both BSA knives by Imperial; an official "Cub" and an official "Scout", both the first from Imperial following WWII.

Thank you kind sir !! Makes me feel nostalgic to see your fine photo!

Fantastic picture! Makes me want to own and carry that knife.

I found that knife at a yard sale and still remember the day ! Compliments don't get any better than that

My Ebony #15 is joining my Ebony WCLF today...

Pure classics indeed !!!

Thanks Gev, I have to admit that GEC72 is one of my favorite carries in my collection.

Yesterday and todays pocket items pictured below. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. View attachment 1249473View attachment 1249478

Nice thin gnarly Stag.

Late 1950s Schrade Walden 890 Stockman

That's a great pattern Jeff. Are those dark bone handles or black plastic (fostarene)?

 

[black mamba]

Bone, baby, bone all the way!

 

[315]

I’ve been seeing a few of last years Bladeforums Buck so thought I’d carry mine today.

 

[McFeeli]

My Fayette was calling to me today.

 

[5K Qs]

Thanks Gary, handsome Classic

Yes, it was from the box.
The box is so cool because as a knife guy every one of them is a potential "keeper". It's a process to get it narrowed down to just a few you're going to keep. I just couldn't resist the little Old Timer knives, just so well made and cute.


I'll echo Jack, that's a handsome Classic.

...
Thank you, Gary! I admire your Alox Classic every time I see it; if Victorinox put a toothpick in those, I'd carry one every day.

I appreciate the Classic compliments, Jack & John & Dean.
Nice description of that GAW box, John!
Dean, your Canal Street bocote Forum knife is sure a grand example!

Yessir. That’s the one he made her with for me. He even got a new pattern to do it.

Thanks for the reply; splendid knife!

Yep, amber bone. ​

I KNEW it!

...
I'm going with piano keys today:

Dynamite duet you played, Rachel!

...
5K Qs - GT, your Spanish Cudeman is a pointy beauty.

Thanks, Harvey; that leaf-shaped blade has both style and substance.

...
Thanks GT, cool mod on the Recruit , don't think I have seen that one before.

These two for me today.

Thanks for noticing my Recruit, Tom.
That's an ace of a scout you have in your pair!

I carried these two today. The Stag Winchester in the watch pocket and the Ironwood Damascus Lambsfoot SFO in the right front.

What an elite treat that pair is, Ron!!

5K Qs Nice selection of knives Gary !

Thanks, Steve; I never lack for choices, that's for sure.

My etching test mule in the pocket today.

Both the knife and the Lewis collection are classics!

Thanks. That jigged bone two-blade 66 is called the Mink Skinner, which is definitely a Muskrat style knife. They made these in 2010.

Thanks for the info, @Travman. I think they made a moose version of the 66. I like (the idea of) both of those patterns on the smaller 3.5" #66 frame, even though I've never handled either knife.

I'd forgotten about that knife; what wonderful grain on the handle!

...
Handsome trio of matching Stockman knives.

You're too kind, John.

View attachment 1247781 Feels like a good day for some old Camillus.

You sure have some nice knives, Jeff; that bailed EO really appeals to me! (On the other hand, you have some disturbing Christmas decorations! )

Jerry Halfrich prototype amber stag rounder.View attachment 1247789

Yowza, another reddish stag knife with devastating shield and streamlined blade!!

...
Thanks GT, Terrific Trio you have there, and a couple of nice boats as well

These two today.

That TC is Truly Captivating, Tom!
I'm grateful for your positive comments, as always, on my knives this week.

Totin' these two today

That Imperial cattle knife has charisma and class, Steve!

What can I say, Buck just knows what they're doing I guess.

Vince, you're obviously nuts about your Laguiole!

...
5K Qs - Thank you GT. I find your Marbles Sowbelly Stockman the leader of the pack.

Thanks, Harvey, it has some of the best stag bone I've seen.

#15 Navy modded into a Lamb.

Superb shot of an impressive knife, Harvey! Navy to Lamb sounds similar to Swords to Plowshares!

...
Thanks, Gary! That is an enchanting group of Stockman and Canoe knives. Which of the Three Bears in the Imperial Trio is Goldilocks' Choice?

Thanks for your endorsement, Dean.
I've gotta guess that Goldilocks would consider large Papa Bear too long and small Baby Bear too short, but medium Mama Bear juuust right!

I carried these two on my very cold hike today: GEC TC Barlow Ancient 2.0 and Case yellow CV Sowbelly Jack.
...

Striking "two for the road", Dean!

I had a yearly doctor visit this morning! I took my Coffin Jack out of the pouch and dropped it in my pocket. I hope y’all have a great day!

Ron, you're obviously not superstitious if you take a coffin jack, sublime as it may be, to a medical check-up!!
Unless it's some kind of reverse psychology superstition you're using.

Imperial Navy Utility and an Ulster Barlow today

 

[JohnDF]

Pure classics indeed !!!

Thank you, they make a nice pairing.

Another day with the 93. I quite like this knife but would like it so much more as a lambfoot.

I bet you could modify it into a lambsfoot

 

[Peregrin]

Something different for Sunday.
Have a peaceful day everyone!

 

[c-mac]

I bet you could modify it into a lambsfoot

I would have tried already if I had the equipment to do it. Last mod I did was on a calf pen changing the one arm man into a clip point but had to do it with a lansky puck as that was all I had. To say it took forever would be an understatement.

My Sunday totes are both BSA knives by Imperial; an official "Cub" and an official "Scout", both the first from Imperial following WWII.

Thank you kindly, JJ. Your two Scouts are both beautiful and practical.

@Jack Black - Thank you kindly, Jack. I can understand why it’s one of your favorites.

JohnDF - Thank you kindly, John. Fabulous pair of Ebony’s.

5K Qs - Thank you GT. Ploughshares is a great idea.
