For the first time I can recall in...a year? Two? I pocketed only my cheerful little Cadet and didn't accompany it with a modern folder. I'd forgotten the simple pleasure of a small, slim, light knife that gets dropped in my RFP and forgotten until it's needed.

If I had no choice and had to go down to just one one smaller knife, I wouldn't feel bad about pocketing just an Alox Cadet.![]()
And such a bright and colorful blue - I think I would fall for that one too. OH
Starting it of with these two. A Case Tribal Lock with Pocket Worn Whiskey Bone and CV, also my Wright’s Rosewood big’un Lambsfoot. Y’all be safe out there!![]()

Thanks Jack. Your ebony gunstock looks great. Such a nice pattern.
same here, a few were early, I have a few bushes outside the fenced part of my garden that I’m experimenting with fertilizing them with fish fertilizer to see if I can get a better yield and better fruit than the others that I didn’t fertilize.
still can’t get my image to show just the link?

Wanted to add a picture of our newest family member, a Queensland Blue Heeler, Jasper he’s a good pup and is fitting in nicely.

Started the day with a hearty breakfast and headed out for a walk with my wife. Had the Nessmi and a Norfolk with me. I've been pairing this Nessmi with every pocket knife I like to carry. It's still checking the boxes for me. I can beat it up a little as it was not an expensive knife. I like it a lot!

It's one hot day here, and as we were about half way through our regular neighborhood route a text message arrives stating that there's a power outage in our area. I looked at my wife and and asked if she had a house key with her, I don't carry one myself. No she doesn't. Do you have the fob to the car we park in the driveway, that has a house key in the glovebox? No she doesn't. OK, if our power is out we're locked out with no way to get in our house. That'll be interesting. I pull out the smartphone, open the automatic garage door app and hopefully touch the open button. As we rounded the corner approaching home we could see the garage door was open, so the power was on. We did lose it for a short while 30 minutes later. It's back on now, hopefully it'll stay that way.
I guess I better hide a key somewhere outside ....![]()
I totally get it, Vince! I used to carry a keyring, with all the necessary every day keys, but since retiring and driving two cars that have the fob starter pushbutton (that was a learning curve), I just avoid keys. One less thing in the pockets. Knives, wallet, smartphone and grab a fob on the way out the door, and I'm good to go.
Thanks a lot, Jack!!!
The ebony covered gunstock really goes well with your Hartshead; a pair of very stout fellows!![]()
Thank you, Jack.Very nice indeed John

You guys need to move to the country... I never lock my house.Since locking myself out a few months back, I've had my keys firmly clipped to my belt ever since!
Thank you most kindly, Jack!!!Thank you very much JJ, nice choice of Monday Jacks, that Keen Kutter is a peach![]()

Totin’ a Ken Erickson today.
Thank you W wildmike , Ken devoted so much attention to detail on his knives.
We probably don't need to be so cautious. We haven't had any trouble here in 30+ years.You guys need to move to the country... I never lock my house.
When all Hell breaks loose, I'm heading your way.we have a pretty safe and secure home.
While both knives look great, that Keen Kutter is really impressive for pushing 100 years!
