After seeing Gary ( 5K Qs 5K Qs ) had a MAM in his fabulous foursome, I thought I would add one to this beefy Case and call it a day. :)
Thank you for the kind words, JJ. Two very nice “Big Boys.” Great image, enhanced by the perfect shadow detail.

Many thanks Harvey, stunning pics my friend :) :thumbsup:
Thank you Jack. A trio of fine images, Two of my favorite Barlows, too.

During this shelter-in-place I have knives close at hand no matter where I'm at. But I'm used to carrying a knife, so I have one in my pocket even as I type this. No accompanying keys, phone, or wallet leave me feeling unbalanced though, so I make sure to carry a second knife to even things out. Today it's this pair that I normally consider too large to carry comfortably.

Strange that I carry more steel now even though I am literally surrounded by sharp tools.

Whats the top one? looks a bit opinel in style but with an open lock. Is it custom?
 
Versatile pair of classics, Jeff! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Thanks, Gary, and I’ll echo Dean’s compliment on that Mohawk canoe!

Continuing on with carrying a vintage jackknife each day this week, today's carry is a 1930's era stag handled BELKNAP HDWE. & MFG. CO. Swell-end jack. Another pocketknife that amazes me by the snappy W&T it possesses despite it's age and previous use. OH

Sweet!


Such stag!
Judging by how flat the scales are, it must have been a huge antler.

edit: to change Marbles to Mohawk! Sorry GT.
