[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Its sooooo good

 

[RDaneel]

I decided to carry my Texas Jack today; it is my 2019 knife of the year after all.

 

[Whetstone39]

Just received this custom fixed blade from Evan Miller yesterday. It is sort of my design, the inspiration being the mating of a KaBar and a Mora. I have been cutting up boxes left over from Christmas, you can see the marks on the blade lol (they will rub off with an oil cloth). This may be the beginning of a fantastic friendship .

Home finally, after eight days in Colorado spending Christmas with our son and family. It was so much fun watching the 3&1/2 yr grandson and all his excitement. The 4 mo old grand daughter is a bit young to grasp it all, but she melts this guy’s heart.

So. After enduring a week of looking at all of the new 2019 Blade Forum GEC knives, I am hoping that our mailman has mine in the big stack of held mail.
Today’s my birthday, so I like how that works out!
In the meantime, my Bull Buster will do.View attachment 1255015

Happy Birthday !

Well, it's back to the deer woods for one last weekend. I've kept this gear packed and ready for a month, taken it afield twice and have yet to fire either shotgun or use either fixed blade (except to help a fellow hunter field dress a deer). The Case Texas jack has nipped several cigars, though. Fresh air, here I come.

Happy Hunting and good luck !

Camillus #16 and a 194OT today

 

[BladeCommander]

Carrying the 92 Eureka in a new pocket organizer that I got for Christmas. Along with brass Hinderer pen and brass Olight AAA flashlight. Sort of yellow themed.

 

[Wurrwulf]

This little Rabbit's Foot from @Robert Erickson showed up yesterday, so it got tossed into the cargo pocket alongside my Peanut, Maratac 2xAAA flashlight, and @JK Knives Bluegill.

I'm really digging this Pocono pocketslip from KSF. It's a great size for my pockets and I love that it deep-carries my Bluegill.

 

[Max1775]

It is a Jim Dunlap custom stockman. I just received it the week of thanksgiving. Carrying it today, as a matter of fact!

She’s a beauty. Love it!

I came to the conclusion that if I'm going to give the Trapper and Moose patterns a "fair shot", I should probably give my loyal and trustworthy stockmans a few days off (I'll keep one in the rollator under seat bag "just in case") and give the trapper and moose a weeks carry each.
Starting with the trapper, since the moose is still en route.

Other than the sheepsfoot is best tasks (which I admit are few and far between for me, at this point of "life") a Trapper or Moose can do everything else ... correct?

Difficult it is to lay down a long favored patfern.

This was a bit of an impulse buy. Enjoy my BullNose, so figured the BullBuster would be a great addition...and it is, but I didn’t realize just how big this thing was. Wow.

She's beautiful!
Now, are you Dad, or Grandpa? In our family, “Papa” is what my Grandchildren call me.
Either way, enjoy the ride, my friend!

Thank you, sir. Theoretically, in my 34 years I could be a grandpa and I am genuinely looking forward to becoming one, but first I need to fully experience the joys and struggles of being a father.

Beautiful early AM walk with Linus and Ari.

Happy birthday! And enjoy the new knife when it comes.

If I get one thing right today it’ll be carrying this 66...

Still feeling sorry for myself for not getting some #66 calf roper in tidioute trim. :-/


I have never considered Case knives to be any real competition to GEC production (something about the shapes of their blades and overall esthetics strikes wrong cord in me), but I have been really enjoying this my very first own Case since I unpacked it on the Christmas eve. I am very impressed. No gaps whatsoever, spring flush in all three positions and with the back of the blade, perfect centering, but best of all: the jigging and the dye job. It blows any GEC knife that I layed my hand on out of the water.
Thank you, @knifeswapper, for picking such a nice example for me.

Knife world needs a cooperation where Case makes the covers and GEC the rest.

Thanks, guys, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jeff. Paul, there has been a slight decline in some hunting sectors, but numbers of young hunters and women hunters are on the rise. We still have plenty of public land and good amount of private land available for hunting, but making time and taking the effort seem to be flagging a little. Yes, hunters and fishers plow hundreds of millions of dollars into wildlife resources each year, just on sales taxes alone.

Well, the trucks packed and running. Gotta go . . . .

I hope that you finally got one for the year my friend .

In the house, making bread, on a rainy day.

 

[SVTFreak]

She’s a beauty. Love it!

Thank you!

Switched to this when I got home. Getting a nice blue color from cutting up loads of taters.

I know how you feel. Love my stockman knives. Try an improved trapper. It has a wharncliff secondary instead of Spey. Gives almost the same utility as a stockman then. It’s my second choice and a nice change sometimes for me.

 

[Travman]

I had my Smooth Ivory Bone 74 and 06 today.

 

[afishhunter]

Scary/Strange/Weird ... Earlier today I took the Stroke of Luck Stockman out of my pocket, put it back in the correct box, and placed it in the rollator under seat bag.

The Stroke of Luck trapper went into my pocket, at that time.

A couple minutes ago, I reached in my pocket for my knife, to open a FED-X/UPS envelope I was expecting.
It was the Stroke of Luck stockman.

I've no idea how it got out of the box, out of the rollator under seat bag, into my pocket, and forced the trapper from my pocket and into the Stockman's box, in the under seat bag.

The stockman is back in its box now, and the trapper back in my pocket.

As far as I know, there are no ghosts, specters, or poltergeists here ... or at least they have not messed with me before now ...
