A nice handful! I like that barehead Eureka Jack! It looks to be a single blade? Very nice!

Yes a single blade made my Mike Moran. It’s awesome.

Carried this one for the last two days. It's actually kind of snappy, got bit by the pen blade last night.

One to tote. The other to ponder...use? collect? sell? I’m waffling like a politician.

I'd say keep it and use it, you'll regret selling it and it's too pretty and too functional not to carry and use it imho

A Wards cattle knife and an American Jack today

Totin’ a 35 Churchill today. I will also be smoking a Churchill sized cigar in a few minutes!

Thank you Will Power . I am hoping someone from GEC sees this and restores sanity to the design department before we see a “Beard Scout.” It is hard for me to look at the mock up. But I do applaud them for always striving to improve their products. If the price of that is a few knives that slightly miss the mark, it is a price well worth paying. They have had many more successes than failures.

Leslie Tomville fine Cougar Claw there, nice grippy stuff

Is that a tenkara rod? I've been trying to decide whether to get one of those or just 5 weight to replace the one I left in Alaska.

Yes, it’s a tenkara rod. I really like it and probably use it more than my other fly rods. Certain times of the year I just leave it in my truck and if an opportunity to fish comes up, I’m ready. It’s super simple, lightweight, and fast to pull out and be ready to go. I guess it just works well for what I do. Around my house I mostly use it for bass and bluegill. If I’m camping in the sierras or at our ranch in Oregon, then I’m using it on trout. It’s fun for both. Now, landing a fish with it is a bit of an adventure. Since you don’t have the line in your hand, you can’t pull the line in or reel it in, but you get used to it.

Totin' my old 440C Buck 701...it started life as a stockman but came to me with a broken spring and the tip from the clip point snapped off. It is now a single spring canoe with wharncliffe and sheepsfoot

I've had this Grohmann Slimline for a few days. It's very nice. Its opening action wasn't very snappy out of the box, so I gave its joint an oil flushing yesterday, and it's a bit better now. I'll probably do the same process again soon, I don't think I got all the gunk out yet.

But other than that, I'm really happy with it. Today's my first day off work in two weeks and I'm having an afternoon whiskey, enjoying this new pocket tool.

I think that's the one I anguished over too long on the specials page of a non-BF-dealer. Nice.

Yes sir. The latest GEC #23, an SFO for Collectorknives.
