It’s so good to see you here Gev! :thumbsup: That Primble is as beautiful as ever my friend! :cool: :)

Very tranquil, very pleasing, very aesthetic :cool:

So much to admire in that knife jigging & shield in particular, pleased to see you active again Gev.

This GEC 62 pays a kind of homage to that shield.

Thank you my friends :) Good to see your fine photographs and equally fine cutlery choices :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
I really like the 2 Victorinox - 2 Imperial foursome, Gary; a pocket full of coolness! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thanks, JJ. :) It makes a guy feel pretty confident when he's got a couple of knives with "Victor" in the name and a couple more with "Imperial". :rolleyes::cool:

I really like the looks of a well-worn Alox handle. :cool::thumbsup:
Awesome this Pioneer, I love to see the using of many years.:thumbsup::thumbsup:;)
You always have a great group of knives, Gary, whether on schedule or off. I always like to see your Old Cross Pioneer. We don't see such a well worn Pioneer around here very often.
...
I am always happy to see your lovingly worn Pioneer, Gary.:)
I could never stick to any kind of totin’ schedule, though. I enjoy poking through the cigar boxes before bed choosing the next day’s totes, but quite often change my mind in the morning.:rolleyes:
Thanks for the supportive comments, guys, although most of the pocket wear on the Alox occurred before I bought the knife in an antique store while I was on vacation a few years back. Here are some pics I took this morning when I took the scenic route to work, walking most of the Reeds Lake Trail that circles a lake in East Grand Rapids.
Pioneer on top of trail map where I started the trip:

here’s my carry from today. Once again getting it in before midnight.
...
What are you whittling there, Dan? Looks like you have a giant pencil for which you carved a big cover to protect the point! :rolleyes::thumbsup::cool: Did you use the Eureka to do it?

...
Four interesting knives there Gary :cool: Plenty of blades options too! :D :thumbsup:

Pocketing some bone today, with a vintage William Rodgers Lambsfoot, gifted to me by Charlie @waynorth, and a random Queen Canoe, gifted to me by @pmew :) :thumbsup:
...
Thanks, Jack. :)
Your pair is exquisite, and even though you're stagless with those two, you've got some exemplary bone! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: I, of course, am quite taken with the Queen canoe! ;)

Today with Frost Cutlery Flying Falcon.;):thumbsup:
...
Very nice, José! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: I have a Flying Falcon like that on my desk at work, but it has no message/advertising on the handles, just blank yellow.

Nice choices Gary !
Thanks, Steve. :) (Of course, with my rotation schedule, I don't think of myself having "choices" - my knives are all "predestined". :rolleyes: I should get back into choosing a couple of "free choice" knives each week to supplement all the "assigned" knives.)

They might not all make it. It's going to be too warm for a jacket.
...
But there's no reason not to carry the Trim Trio or the Imperial, and I can't put away my new surprise Camillus. The Wright doesn't mind a little rattling around, and the Remington doesn't add much bulk.
I like the "can-do attitude" displayed below the photo; that's a quality quintet that deserves to be carried, regardless of meteorological conditions! ;):thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

And I thought a head knocker cudgel was just the ticket for securing my personal space in the crowded aisles of the Badger Knife Show, so I shamelessly copied Harry and made one too.
Alas, the knife show fell victim to the flu, but this thing is handy for enforcing “social distancing”.:D

I had an old red elm shovel handle that I was happy to re-purpose.

I think at least five is about right!:thumbsup:
Two Wengers in my left pocket, a pen or peanut in my little pocket, and two totes in my right pocket, and I still have room on my belt!:D:rolleyes:
I don’t suffer from insanity~ I’ve learned to enjoy it.
Nice cudgel, Jeff! :cool::cool::thumbsup: I immediately thought, in pandemic mode, "If you can hit someone with that, they were unhealthily close anyway." :D:thumbsup: (And what you say about gun & knife shows is why I won't go to one until we've got an effective and widely-used vaccine. I just can't see most attendees wearing well-fitting masks, staying 6 feet away from everyone, and generally obeying orders that didn't originate in their own minds. :rolleyes:)
Your last sentence is a good T-shirt slogan. ;)

...
I was paralyzed from the neck down much of 2012. I came home in a wheelchair just in time for Thanksgiving, graduated to a walker, then canes. Now, by the grace of God, I no longer need anything to get around and get in trouble. :eek:
That's an inspiring story, Jeff! :eek::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Reminds me of a verse in the old hymn (at least in my church, and apparently in Charles Wesley's original poem) whose title would be texted as something like "O 4 1K Tongues 2 Sing":
Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosen'd tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.


KeenKutter and a Camillus

Sublime pair!! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
Maybe with elections less than a month away, I should start voting for my favorite knife when people post more than one. :rolleyes::thumbsup::D
I'l vote for the KK Kattle Knife! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:

One of the most memorable knives I've seen on BF, Dwight! :cool::thumbsup::cool: (I think you and Ted each have one.) You have the best toys, too! :cool::p

I'm carrying my Avatar (Ancient 2.0) for TC Tuesday.

Royal and Ancient, Dean! ;):cool::cool:

Superb pen knife! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

Carrying these two today, and looking forward to a mail call later this week. After days of resisting the new run of Bark River City Knives, I cracked last night and have a roughed out buffalo horn version inbound :).
...
Great to see that AG Russell scout again, Tom; one hasn't been posted for a long time IIRC! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks Gary, they are OD Linen and Canvas
Thanks for the ID, Steve. :) I was going to guess OD, but thought they were too brown for that; shows just what a "micarta expert" I am. :rolleyes:

Thanks, GT! It is going to be a fun user I think.:)
I hope you get lots of enjoyment from it, Les! :thumbsup::thumbsup::)

Thank you for your comments, Gary. The stockman is a 63087 (same frame as your yellow Case penknife).
...
Thanks for the ID, Dean. :) I can't seem to keep all of Case's stockman models straight, especially the "mediums".

Handsome jack with its faux stag covers! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thank you GT, it is a joy to feel the action on this one - old time goodness. OH
Ps your vintage Imperial Stockman is another pocketknife that is both nostalgic and built the old way.
There's a classic. :cool::thumbsup:
Thanks, Bruce & John; I like that USA Imperial a LOT! ;)

Thanks a whole bunch x 2, Gary!!!

You always have the coolest canoes; the covers on your RR are real standouts!:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Four handsome knives GT :) That's a great pic of the RR Canoe, the covers are much better-looking in your photo than any of the dealer pics I've seen :cool: :thumbsup:
...
Thanks, JJ & Jack. :) I'm not formally trained in marketing or rocket science, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize you want to "put your best foot forward" to impress others. So I posted the pile side of the RR Painted Desert canoe, since I think it looks better than the mark side:

After spotting Jeff's "shortline" Camillus 23 (@Amir Fleschwund) I grabbed these two Remingtons; the big fella is also made by Camillus. :)
...
Better than lemon pudding, JJ! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
I vote for the big knife with the triangular shield and French ivory covers! :):cool:

...
todays carry- still loving the wood covers and wishing I had more like ‘um.
Good wood! :cool::cool::thumbsup: Did you keep that one for Wooden Wednesday carry, too?



Thanks Gary, I think that pen is only on the 032 Jack knife that I know of?
Thanks for the info, Paul. :)
I've been looking at Case patterns for a while, and never saw another with a pen like that.

...
Edit - Forgot to post my carry! :D :thumbsup:
...
Prestigious, yet practical, pair, Jack! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
I'll vote for the stag lambsfoot HHB. ;):cool:

Today in my pocket I carry this Portuguese Francisco Cangueiro in horn.;):thumbsup:
... ...
Gorgeous knife, José; the horn is exquisite, and I especially like the stripes around the butt of the handle! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Setter in wood for Wednesday.

Extremely attractive wood lockback Joker!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: What kind of wood is that?

First time I've carried my shiny new 15. I opened a candy bar with it. Its performance was superlative :cool:
View attachment 1433100
I spend a lot of time getting the right edge on my new knives and stropping them daily, being sure to keep them hair popping sharp...
... just so, some days, I can open a candy bar with it that I could otherwise open it with my fingers.:D
Handsome knife!!
 
Great to see you back Gevo . You always post some interesting photos my friend . Have you taken any road trips like you used to do out to your tree ????

Harry
Thank you my friend :) No Sir, have not seen my tree in many moons, but often think of her :D
