Unique and nice, GT.

Many thanks Gary, if you'd seen
The Avengers, I think you'd remember my friend
That's a special and unique knife
...
I'm struggling to remember what day of the week it is, but I've been enjoying carrying the Primble
@Duckdog kindly gifted me with my Hartshead Barlow the past couple of days
...
Thanks for the kind remarks on my amber bone mini trapper with the non-standard spey, Stuart & Jack.
Jack, you're sporting an admirable holiday pair!
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.

, as well!

Thanks, guys.
I was born within a week before Christmas, so I guess I qualify.
Really enjoying the time off over the holidays. Just lazing around this morning with a cup of coffee and a Lambsfoot
...
Handsome 2019 Guardians desert ironwood lambsfoot, Mike!
I decided to carry my Texas Jack today; it is my 2019 knife of the year after all.

Deserves the honor you've awarded it, Dean!
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
.
...
Congrats on your big new custom fixed blade, Tom!
(Heck of a scout, too!)
Camillus #16 and a 194OT today
...
That's a feel-good duo, Steve!
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.
...
Congrats on the pocket organizer; that looks like a very nice set-up!
Do you carry it in front or back pocket?
I had my Smooth Ivory Bone 74 and 06 today....
Charismatic color-coordinated couple!
Left Jekyll Island this morning and off to Savannah for a couple of nights. The girls are doing a 5K in the morning. Maggie and me will hold down the fort while they’re walking. I took this last photo of my Lambsfoot on the handrail going to the beach.
...
Your PD lamb looks grand in the sunshine, Ron!

- GT, your Rough Rider is so cool.
...
I appreciate the good word, Harvey.
...
Terrific trio Gary; your 2 trappers are very interesting as I've never seen a "one armed" trapper nor a "short spey" trapper (nice job Jeff), very cool!
...
Today's totes are a couple from the pre WWII era; a fun little Cattaraugus Whitt-L-Craft scout and a stout Robeson electrician.
...
Thanks, JJ; glad I could teach an "old dog" like you a "new trick" or two.
Your pair of knives "redline" the desirability meter!!
Today I walk with Parker Cut Co Stag Little Eagle.
...
A delightful stag lockback, José!
An other version: " Do you remember the first name of Dr Alzheimer? That's how it starts."
Dan.
I like that joke VERY much; thanks!
These three are getting the lion's share of carry and fidget time today.
...
Tremendous trio, John!
As I hoped, among the bundle of bills and Christmas cards, these new favorites were in the mailbox.
I need to thank
@TheChunk91 for alerting me to the auction of this Craftsman whittler. I had purposely not been shopping around or even looking, but he knew I had lusted in my heart over his Craftsman whittler. NOS still in the Schrade style plastic tube, never sharpened (I took care of that!). American quality at it’s pinnacle!
The Forum Knife? Wow! American craftsmanship is alive and well!

Congrats on the two newest knives, Jeff!
...
This pair again today:
I think the second 45rpm record I ever bought was Cheech and Chong's
Basketball Jones, and I'm jonesing for ebony after seeing your dynamite dark duo, Rachel!
Vince, that just exudes class and elegance!
...
I was spraying the lacquer the day my oldest son passed away from his injuries he got in Afghanistan
. Couldn’t even look at it for a year and a half, but sucked it up and got back to it and finished it on this past Good Friday. So I call it my Resurrection Guitar. Along with his two daughters and Manny the dog, it’s part of his legacy for me.
Life is good-God is good!
Moving testimonial, Jeff; thanks!

I wonder if we will ever see this Red Stag from GEC again. To me, it is different than what we often see as Amber Stag. Does anyone know the difference? Regardless, even if they bring it back, the new effort will never look as good as the older versions with a shield!
Your post just before this one is beautiful Jeff,
@Amir Fleschwund . I wish I could know you in real life. You are an inspiration. We are fortunate to at least be able to benefit from your wisdom through this forum.
Fantastic red stag, LT!
And I totally agree with your comments about Jeff and his post.
Love that treasure chest, Steve (and the copperhead atop it)!
Salubrious stag and crust, Dave!
@Leslie Tomville,
I’m just a regular guy, warts and all, far from perfect.
But as long as I focus on my blessings, I’m alright. Just like most here on the porch.
...
IMHO, you sure have that right, Jeff!
Ya, that trio could get it all done.
I actually ended up with SIX knives in my pocket at one time.
I did it just to prove I could do it, and to see the look on my kid's face when I preceded to unload my pockets.
Pretty addictive to carry a half-dozen knives, eh, John??
A couple of Swiss scouts for Sunday, both from Wenger.
...
Smashing Swiss scouts, JJ!
Is the bottom one from Eddie Bauer?
...
Morning campers, hope everyone is having a good...er, weekend
Starting to feel like Groundhog Day!
Sunday it is though, have a good one
...
Jack, that jigged bone WCLF could certainly be your lodestar!
