No real need to tote a pocketknife

You're right... But I'd feel naked without one.

We just got back from a three days and two nights camp out. I used this little Opinel I modified for all of the food prep and I had a SAK (alox), a rough Ryder sow belly stockman, and a small lock back drop point from JohnDF for whittling.

Afternoon shot...

Carried this one today. I had a couple of other GEC knives prior to this one (a 38 Special, a Pemberton, and a Toothpick) but this is the one that got me hooked!

So my middle age crisis that led to a brief ( in the scheme of things) but sordid affair with the modern folder has come to an end. May I come home?View attachment 1322966

Welcome home. Been there too.

Was supposed to go back to work today but I got called and told to stay home for two more weeks if I wanted [65 and older] with pay. O.K.!
So, out with the dog carrying this so far today.

Interesting blade on the Buck. It’s an exact copy, except the thumb hole is not round, of one of the first Spyderco knives- designed by Bob Terzuola. I have one, and if I ever were to carry a modern folder, that would be choice #1.
But I went back to my roots.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

@Jack Black ~ The pic of your fine fixed blade shows off my favorite thing about your part of the world~ those rock walls.

Stretch the hamstrings to relieve and prevent lower back pain!

I'm so jealous!!!

Best way to get socially distant

Doing a little plinking after work. Hope everyone is healthy and enjoying their evening.

For Friday:

 

[Pàdruig]

Thanks Dylan! Love the brass my friend! Another great photo!

Thank you, Ron! You are carrying a fine duo today, that Queen English Jack is most excellent!

Pàdruig Thank you Dylan. Your beautiful 44 with the NF flourishes, is yet another reason to finally get one.

Thank you, Harvey! That Ocoee is another NW that has caught my eye on many occasions, you've captured its color beautifully. That Robeson Black Jack is pretty special too.

No real need to tote a pocketknife with this shelter-in-place order in effect. Good opportunity to use some of my other knives though.

I like the looks of that knife, Christian, can you tell me more about it?


These are among the few I've kept close by today.

I like the looks of that knife, Christian, can you tell me more about it?

Dylan, it's a Bark River Rogue. Available in an assortment of handle materials, my knife has black canvas micarta. My only micarta handled knife. I grabbed it because it seemed like the best one to use. My kitchen knives are all either too fine edged and delicate to deal with breaking down a pineapple, or not sharp enough. This Rogue has good geometry for the task at hand. It's as sharp as anything I have, but it's built more robustly than a chef's knife. The only issue is the handle. It can get slippery when wet, and the handle contours and lack of a guard demand that I exercise the utmost care during use.
