Thank you Jack!!!
Great triple play today! Your Dutch Army knife looks very close to a Finnish Army version I have; scary sharp and tough!
Thank you, that's interesting, I have some Swedish Army knives (Frost's of Mora), but I'm not sure I've seen a Finnish Army knife. My Dutch knife was made in Holland, before Victorinox got the contract
Thought I'd tote couple Schrades for today.
Perfect pair JJ
Morning folks, hope everyone is managing OK. I was planning to head into town today to pick up a prescription, but I'm feeling pretty beat, after a bad night's sleep, so I think I might leave it for today. Got a treble again today - Hartshead Barlow, Libert Belgian Navy clasp knife, Manly Patriot

I'm one of those guys that likes to carry a couple of canoes and a couple of stockmans at all times. Here are the ones I'm carrying this week.
Budget Canoe is a Rough Rider with smooth tobacco bone covers:
Premium Canoe is a Böker Beer Barrel canoe:
Sowbelly Stockman is a Case chestnut jigged bone sowbelly with CV blades (thanks, Ron):
Regular stockman is a large Chinese Imperial (thanks, Mark):
Excellent choice for the week, Gary.

A Canoe and a Trapper. Two of my favorite patterns keeping me company today.
Did someone say Manly?
Have this one for 8 years now and it's the knife that got me hooked on well treated D2 steel... Love it!
It's a pitty they don't make the classic anymore, but I like the comrade and peak 1 and 2!
I haven't got a fixed by them, as I'm pretty much covered in that departement...

At school we always have Morning Meeting, our assembly where we start the day with a Scripture passage, corporate confession of faith, recitation of a scripture we are memorizing, and singing a psalm or hymn. Since coming home we’ve kept that routine and it really sets the day into perspective. Psalms are especially good in times like these.

That's a nice one!
Nice photos too I have always meant to buy a couple of more knives from them, excellent prices, and a good company to deal with D2 is a favourite of mine, the Enzo Elver I was carrying a couple of days ago was in D2 I have an Enzo badger convex D2, which I handled in elm burl. I'll post some. Pics when I have it on me.That's a nice one!
8 years ago I had to ring them up for postage to Belgium as the didn't sell them online back then.
This one is black micarta that's so brightly polished it looks posh in my scarred and working hands

Excellent , very interesting.
I wonder why we don't traditionally have a name for folks that create things from leather? Leatherworker is a feeble attempt, I suppose, but curious why we have/had coopers, cobblers and blacksmiths as folks that were pat of a village years ago, but leather seems far less regarded. Or maybe I'm missing something...
Nice picture, MikeSadly Will, I don't often drink domestic. American bourbon or Caribbean rum for me
@Will Power , yeah, I asked Mike the same thing about those whiskies on his recent GAW.
I guess that's why he's called the Crazy Canuck, lol!
But I get it. I'm from the USA and don't really care for ketchup, a substance my friend calls the "American sauce."
Beautiful 83.Today with GEC #83 in stag.
I love mine, one of my favorite knives.
Still with the Moki today.

Memorable quote about doing nothing, Harry!Did not really think that I would take the time to post today because I was extremely busy doing nothing all day and I am still not done . But I stuck this in my pocket this morning . Had to use old photos because I was so busy .
Harry
Nice pic! Great fixed blade.
I’m quoting you because I like to say Gumfuddy.
Speaking of Gumfuddy, did you ever put Peeps in the microwave?
Love ‘em both, Vince! The Stockman looks pristine.I think for Thursday I will carry five blades to work--two classic American patterns:
Trapper
and:
Stockman
That’s a wonderful photo of your Patriot, Jack.Thank you, that's interesting, I have some Swedish Army knives (Frost's of Mora), but I'm not sure I've seen a Finnish Army knife. My Dutch knife was made in Holland, before Victorinox got the contract

Nice photos of a beautiful knife, Jose!Today with GEC #83 in stag.
Said it before...great tribute to a classic pattern.
I might be biased because my Grandad carried an old Camillus in that pattern.
Nice.So true, my friend.
He sure did, Ron!Good morning everyone. Hope you’re all well!
Today, the cigar boxes yielded up two old Camillus, a 23, and a 72, and yesterday’s mail produced this Kutmaster hawksbill. The first slip up in my self discipline campaign of not spending money on more knives for a while.
Something about Rules Being Meant To Be Broken, or was that something about a fool and money...
Other than a little wear to the tip, likely from cutting drywall, since it has a plumbing supply stamp in the rosewood,
(Pretty nice rosewood, too),View attachment 1314000
the blade has very little or no sharpening loss, which can be common in hawksbills, and the snap is strong - no need for a blade lock.View attachment 1313990
Awhile ago, our electric can opener died.
After poking around the kitchen gadgets aisle in a couple of stores, I decided not to waste my money. I have Swiss Army and scout knives!
Well, I guess I’d better leave a SAK in the kitchen for Mrs Grave Fleschwund.

Thanks, Jeff. It's a 1982 stockman I found new in box at a gun show in 2018. I use it, but not on food yet. Of my six stockmans it's my favorite.

Nice. It’s been a few years, but the last gun show I attended was overrun by roadkill jerky, cheap import “genuine army surplus boonie hats”, and essential oil vendors.

The general terms used would be Leather Worker, Leather Crafter, or Leather Artist. Then depending on what you make, you would be a Cobbler, Saddle Maker or Saddler, Clothier, etc.
