[Old Hunter]

Always boom-a-rang back to a Medium Stockman, Case 6332 for today. OH

I've owned a few and never took to them for one reason or another.
It struck me the other day, it's because I dislike EZ Open notches and the little size didn't feel right for a Barlow.
If I had started with one as nice as yours, simple and beautiful, I'd probably still have it.
Really nice example you have.

Thanks, John. Do you think it’s the thick/stumpy proportions that you dislike about the #25 Barlow? How do you feel about the #14 as a Barlow? (Same length, but obviously slimmer.)

Today with Portuguese Curel.

Interesting shape! I like the symmetry when closed.

Hoping fall colors will bring fall weather

Beautiful color on that!

Decided to go with another #25 today.

I'm carrying this green curly maple covered Case Teardrop today.

I think it's the round bolsters that don't look right on a Barlow.

Toting these two wood covered jacks; both from Titusville.

I'm not generally a big fan of barlows in general (despite having and carrying my 77 lately). I think it has to do with me preferring more handle and less bolster. Same reason I prefer no shields. Oddly, the biggest exception I can think of is the rounded barlow bolsters on the 25s. I think it fits somehow perfectly with the size and shape of the knife as a whole. Go figure!

@Pt-Luso My Le Pocket is 10,5cm as well. In the End it‘s always difficult to decide between the available wood versions. Walnut was in my focus as well but lost against Juniper but that’s only personal preference.

I fully agree.

Wooden Wednesday Big Jack.

My first picture posted is my Laguiole Le Pocket (10,5 cm) from Fontenille Pataud with Juniper Wood

Wonderful knife with Guilloché.

Many thanks, Barrett.

I'm not a big fan of spey blades, but that is a very nice-looking knife.

Thank you . It can be your butter knife that cuts . As it does a wonderful job digging in jars & spreading w/o poking holes .

Whew! Glad you came to your senses there at the end!

The knives that I don't use will eventually be sold for one reason or another but primarily because I don't use them. If that makes any sense?

 

[Onebigbill]

Wooden duo of the day. Have a blessed one!

Beautiful photo of two very nice knives!

Although I had a Buck Creek Copperhead in a pocket and a Buck 500 Duke in a belt sheath this morning, as we were leaving the house, I put this Case CV Sod Buster in another pocket at the last minute.

This is the only multi blade knife I’ve carried (except for a SAK) in a very long time. I didn’t even know it had carbon steel blades. The patina was a hint. Hahaha Now to try and get the clip sharp. Sharpening is not one of my strong points no matter how much I try.

Looks like a great knife!

I haven't been able to decide lately how many blades I like. Used to think it was just one. But my current favorite is my 29, which has three, or two plus a punch, depending which one! In between I thought my 92 was the only one I ever needed... two blades.
