Micarta Monday with my old friend.

Nice! Two of my favorites although my left butt cheek is still sore from kicking myself after selling my cocobolo American Jack.

a fine dog and a fire and a fine lady

Got me laughing, Stuart. My trip to the market, to pick up a rib roast for Christmas day, ended with me on the cell with my wife, as she reeled off about a dozen items she forgot to pick up.
A couple of fingers of bourbon is definitely on this evening's agenda.

Thanks, guys, and you are both correct.

Love that match safe JJ, it's the ideal partner for your Remington Scout

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start, and that you're all in a holiday mood Thought I'd carry these two again today

Than you very much Jack!!! Another walk around the block with your fantastic pair; pretty hard to beat!

Great scout!!! You and I are of similar mind today. My RS3333 is one of my two favorite camp knives. An absolute work of art in every way. I'll be carrying it for the rest of the week, with Christmas quickly approaching. It's the sort of knife that every young boy once dreamt of getting as a Christmas present, after thumbing thorough the ads in Boys' Life magazine for the thousanth time.

Thank you kindly Buzz; I can certainly recall the old "Boys Life" days!!! Wonderful image of your stately Remington BSA; they sure knew how to make a fine knife!

Hard for me to pick my favorite in that pair, JJ! Superlative bone on the jack, but I'm going to go with the pen configuration, especially if it's a single spring.

Thanks a lot Gary; a single spring it is!!!

Alox knife this week is a Christmassy red Vic Cadet:

non-Alox SAK this week is a Christmassy red celidor Vic Explorer:

Bailed non-SAK this week is a Sheffield (that's apparently a brand name) scout:

International knife this week is a John Watts ring opener that celebrates Saturnalia (thanks, Jack):

Great foursome of Swiss and Sheffield knives; very cool, the last knife adds two more "S's!"

Thanks for the fine compliment ! I'm going to dig out my scouts after seeing your beauty !

Mirroring into the Field

Thank you kindly Gev; that will be cool!!! You certainly have 4 marvelous beauties today; a French lady with 3 New Yorkers!

Much thanks, JJ. Sharp looking Remington BSA Scout.

Enjoying a dark chocolate indulgence, gifted to me, with Linus.

Thank you very kindly Harvey!!! Quite the superlative image of you ebony Sheffield nestled in that rich chocolate; a sweet treat for the eyes!

Thank you, Jack. An excellent pair you toted today.

Thanks very much Dean

I woke up with a light heart today, as I had very little to do having completed all of my holiday shopping and chores (tree, firewood, cocktail fixin's, cleared upper and lower back decks in case we lit the fire pits. I figured this little Battle Axe could handle totin' duties easily.

Then, over coffee, Miss Norma informed me of the chores of which I was previously unaware, but had to be done today - mostly driving and shopping for last minute items that "we" forgot, and getting rid of the resulting boxes. I decided that this one was more appropriate, in more ways than one.

Now, settled in with an elixir and my dog by the fire.

LOL!

Agreed, Gary, in fact I already started about 3 hours ago!

Great festive Lambsfoot pic Jeff

Many thanks JJ, that's another fine pair there I'm sure I'm not alone in really enjoying seeing so many knives from your collection

Happy Christmas Eve folks, wishing each and every one of you a joyous and peaceful Christmas. I'll be taking it easy, for the most part today, hoping to enjoy some good food and a few libations this evening Treating myself to a Double Lambsfoot Day

So lucky to have this forum knife arrived again on the Christmas eve, same as last year.

Tis the season to be jolly, Jeff!

I'm on the Tripel Ale kick lately, but if you're drinkin' fine bourbon, I can certainly find an excuse for conviviality

Drop on by, the bar is stocked . . . and so is the fridge!

No 'merry water' for me this Christmas. My second child is 6 days overdue, so I have to be in shape to drive my wife anytime soon.

I have chosen these fine gentlemen to accompany me to 'the theater'.

 

[screened porch]

I have a knife that had shell extractors, but somebody sawed them off.
I guess those old smooth paper hulls were stickier.

 

[redsparrow]

Thought of waiting till Old Friends Friday to carry this but I couldn't resist the call of the yellow Case.

 

[joeradza]

Planning on these for Christmas eve but that will probably change.

Time for a holiday classic. Have a great day all.

Great pairing of the top two knives of the year.
Hope your Christmas is full of the joy and excitement of the season, Jack.

Simple and classic... Great knife, James. Merry Christmas to you.

Happy Christmas Eve everybody.
Going to smoke up some ribs and have family over for a big dinner.
Tomorrow it's off to church to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

Part of my carry today and what a treat it was!

Leather, wood, and steel~ I like this photo!

The main one today. Been anticipating this one most of the year. Not disappointed. Exceeds expectations. Quite extraordinary, actually.

This ‘19 BF knife sure looks good. I’m anxious to get mine in hand! We fly home Thursday night, and I’m expecting a pile of mail that our friendly postman has been holding for us.

I like the way epoxy gives you more time to adjust the shield before it sets. Hate superglue. It can get brittle with age, and I have to wear latex gloves that I can slip out of when I glue my hand to the table.

I read somewhere that they were trying to calculate how much and at what rate Venice has sunk. They couldn't find written records going back very far, and someone had the brilliant idea of going to the museums to look at the water level depicted in the old paintings.

And Festivus, of course!

Today I've got the new Forum knife and this ole butter & molasses.

You have re-edumacated me into seeing the beauty in what some would call old and worn out. Quite comforting as I approach that categorization!
Happy Hannukah, my friend.

I am in love with that Hammer Brand, Stuart! What a great pocket knife.
