Love the deep jigging, red bone, and pinched bolsters on your #66.![]()
View attachment 1278075 View attachment 1278074 It’s Whittler Wednesday, good day to wield a favorited pair: 72 Camillus Whittler in BSA garb, and 43.
A couple of days in the 40’s melted the snow off my knife posing rocks, but more is supposedly on the way tonight.
I've found those inexpensive Casios to be reliable watches, and what really amazes me is the last one I bought (maybe 4 years ago?) cost only a couple more bucks than the first one I got before 1980.Great knives, and can't help but comment on that Casio as well. My Dad passed a few years ago, still wearing his for more years than I do can remember. Had no interest in his (expensive) company retirement watch. After he passed, my daughter bought me the same model Casio and I wear it every day.
I don't know when I'll get to the antique mall, but I think it's open only Wed/Sat/Sun. I don't think you have to worry about me getting more than one or two of whatever knives they have, and I tend to go for the old Imperials and Colonials.Thank you! Definitely a smart idea to not bring much cash to those shows! Heck I should start leaving my wallet home
Even tho it is mostly modern knives I think rylee’s has the biggest knife selection around! I’ve started calling it the “knife store”.I’ll have to check out that antique mall sometime I never new it existed! You’ll probably beat me to it tho it’s about an hour from the house so try to save me atleast one or two!

JJ, Ron, Harvey, and Steve, what the heck is going on?? Are you all part of some cosmic conspiracy to get me addicted to that GEC 78 jack with the gorgeous checkered bone?A couple of Northfields today

IMHO, your stag Hartshead Barlow SFO and Charlie's jigged bone lambsfoot SFO are a pair of instant classic lambsfoots, Jack!...
Hope everyone had a great weekendPairing these two again today
...
If you put enough Tapatio (hot sauce) on, anything would taste good.![]()
Rick, that Cover 1-blade canoe is a gem!!Taking these two for a spin today.

Splendid pair of elegant Case "copper__s", as well as a pair of Case classic "top sellers", Dean!
Yes indeed... Shakira did not disappoint.
I'm also glad Andy Reid won the Game.

We've had a very mild winter SO FAR in Michigan, but I'm not going to "fall for" that and wave winter bye-bye; still a couple of months left for winter to land a knockout punch or two!I suppose it is time to say goodbye to the winter-that-never-was. Like @r8shell has mentioned I was hoping for at least one good freeze to zap some of the bugs...
...
Very cool, José!
Thanks for the positive "reviews", Harvey & JJ. The Laguiole hunter from my daughter is almost certainly a cheap Spanish import to Spain by Martinez Albainox, but she's apparently developed some skill in picking out solid, well-made examples....
Thanks Gary!!! I believe they are among the oldest German cutler and they really have focused on procuring nice stag over the years.
...
Very nice first foursome of February; your wonderful "Toledo Laguiole" looks like quite a stout fellow!![]()
I always enjoy seeing that unique pattern, Harvey.Sheldon Lamb Foot friction folder(Sheffield)from Current/Albert Oates

Congrats on that Bulldog stag congress, Paul!...
This great Stag Tobacco Bulldog arrived today. I love the Stag on the Mark and Pile sides as well as the "arched" Bar shield, deep grooved (threaded?) bolsters, matchstrike pulls and even the TOBACCO etch on the mainFit n Finish is stellar
...
...
All nice Gary but man I like that blue ALOX
...
Thanks, Paul & Dean.Love your blue alox Pruner, Gary!![]()
Intriguing firemen's trapper, JJ!I like this Camillus trapper for Tuesday, with their great old carbon blades from Sharon Steel....
Thanks, Jack....
Think you'll have your cutting chores covered there Gary![]()
...
Morning folks, pairing my Hartshead Barlow with a random grab out of the knife drawer, a Brookes & Crookes Angler's Knife
...
Thanks for the hymn info and the Voos info, Jeff.Hey~thanks, Gary!
Yes, for decorative purposes...it sits on the piano.
They are well made, and I like the looks ~ yes sir. And thanks!
Emil Voos emigrated to the US and made his knives here, according to something I read. I’ll look for it.

Enjoy the feeling while you can, Tom!Thanks GT! I feel spoiled right now. I waited a looooooooooong time for my two favorite teams to climb their respective mountains (35 years for the Blues, 28 years for the Chiefs), and within 8 months they have both reached the summit. In fact I am a little unsure how to feel, certainly lucky. I'll happily carry some black and gold for your Tigers should the occasion arise
...
Gary, I’m glad I can do my small part as an enabler whenever possible!JJ, Ron, Harvey, and Steve, what the heck is going on?? Are you all part of some cosmic conspiracy to get me addicted to that GEC 78 jack with the gorgeous checkered bone?
What a bunch of beauties!If I had to "pick my poison", I'd opt for the 2-blade version.

IMHO, your stag Hartshead Barlow SFO and Charlie's jigged bone lambsfoot SFO are a pair of instant classic lambsfoots, Jack!
...
Thanks, Jack.My carries remind me of "nuclear overkill" during the Cold War in the sense that I carry enough knives to cover my cutting chores many times over.
(Except for food prep, a Vic Classic probably would more than cover my cutting chores most days.)
Those look great together Steve; nice shot!![]()
Cant go wrong there!I don't know when I'll get to the antique mall, but I think it's open only Wed/Sat/Sun. I don't think you have to worry about me getting more than one or two of whatever knives they have, and I tend to go for the old Imperials and Colonials.
Thank you kindly, JJ. Your Le Thiers is not only beautiful, but the Juniper wood has a delightful peppery aroma.A juniper wood covered Le Thiers Compagnon for Wednesday.
