[5K Qs]

5K Qs , thanks. I’m really enjoying this one.

I have one very similar to yours, but I haven't used, or even carried, mine as nearly as much as you have.

Thanks Gary I did know that, in spite of my rudimentary knowledge of mathematics

The Electrician is one of my favourite SAKs Gary Hey, is that a new Rope Knife, I sure like the cut of its jib?

...
5K Qs - Thank you GT. I (heart) your roper knife. Love to see the whole blade.

I'm impressed with your familiarity with Islamic mathematicians, Jack!
I vacillate between Farmer and Electrician as my favorite Alox SAK.
Thanks for the good words about my sailor knife, Jack & Harvey. I've had a Cannon knife trio since last Christmas - I like them.

The usual.View attachment 1251102

"The usual" for you is quite extraordinary IMHO, Alan!!

...
Thank you, GT.
Hope you're getting off for the holidays soon.
...

Thanks, John; I submitted final grades on Thursday for the only class I taught this semester, so now I'm footloose and fancy-free for a while, except for the demands of my wife, daughter, and dogs.

I thought I'd give this little liner-lock OT a spin to see how I like it...
...

Nice pairing of your WCLF and OT; only 2 blades combined, but the shapes and sizes complement one another well!

Good morning! I’ve doubled down on the 93’s today!
...

A great pair there Ron . I think that I will do the same almost on this 5 F morning . ( old photos )...
Harry

Ron and Harry, did you both wear your "93 Club" sweaters, too? Two fine pairings, gentlemen, anchored by the memorable WCLF jigged bone in each case!

Great carries this week, Gary. Q: is that Opinel handle modified, or can you buy them like that?

Edit: Never mind, Gary. I found your answer in the "Wooden Wednesday" thread.

Thanks, Vince. You can buy "slim" Opinels with a more rounded and curved handle and skinnier blade (narrower edge-to-spine distance). I don't currently have one of those, but I might get one sometime if I remember to add it to my "what's next?" list.

Vibrant vintage Sword/Western duo, Steve!

Looking good, Tom; that clip/pen barehead jigged bone jack is especially appealing!

That stag 73 is pretty much a heart-stopper, Taylor!!

...
Thank you, GT. I must have been unintentionally channeling my inner Margaret Mitchell .
...

That walnut(?) Case loom fixer(?) is such a classic pattern, Dylan!

...
Thank you kindly Gary; I had not seen prior to this jack! Quite a cool lineup of slicers for you today; that's a great shot of your Alox Electrician!
...

Today's totes are a couple "shadow" pens from the 1920s; a Crucible and a Canton Cut Co.
...

Thanks for the kind words, JJ.
Your nearly-centenarian shadow pens are ravishing!!!

Today with A. Wright Lambsfoot in Green Bone.
...

Always a delight to see the jigged bone lambsfoot, José! Did you notice in the Guardians thread that someone else got one recently?

[Half/Stop]

Ron and Harry, did you both wear your "93 Club" sweaters, too? Two fine pairings, gentlemen, anchored by the memorable WCLF jigged bone in each case!

Gary, I don’t know about the sweaters, but I do know about the “Great minds think alike!” saying!

 

[Half/Stop]

I know times are certainly busy this time of year! I’ve got two 2019 forum knives “Out for delivery”! These two have been in my pocket in the mean time!

 

[Jack Black]

I’ll be spending quality time with Linus, the Sheffield Ebony Lamb Foot while he’s in town.

Thank you JJ. that's a good-looking pair

Thanks Gary, I'm familiar with the Greeks too of course, but I don't think we covered the Islamics at skool Those are also my two favourite Alox SAKs, Electrician for EDC, Farmer for hikes Great Cannon knives

Count your fingers after using that Kudu!

Has anyone else started getting Google ads mixed in with the threads, only started today?

 

[Wild Willie]

Great posts, folks!
Have a great weekend! Hope you have your holiday shopping done!

I love that fixed blade, who made that beauty?

 

[tmd_87]

Thanks 5K Qs

Today's carry. Eating some lunch then back to catching crabs.

Yesterday's catch! Two Dungeness and a Nice Rock Crab.

 

[315]

If it rains much more I’ll need an ark to get around. Truly a miserable day, weather wise, in the Northwest. Figured it’d be a good day to tote a stainless knife, even though I don’t plan on venturing out very far.
