[Prester John]

TGIF! Have a great weekend, folks!

Beautiful Lag, Gary. How does it feel in the hand? Do you notice the back lock release protruding from the handle?

 

[SteveC]

Camillus and a Remington today

Paul, that’s one of the boxes my daughter got me last year to hold a few knives. Some 61OT’s hanging out in there....

Looks good!

Nice group, Gary. I really like the Schrade 93OT.

 

[RDaneel]

I'm carrying the Ancient One today.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Two quality Cases, which go together very nicely JJ

Thank you kindly, Jack!!!

Got a sick note for yesterday Carrying my Hartshead Barlow again today, and my Todd Davison Sheepsfoot

That's certainly a dynamic tot'n duo Jack; hope your feeling better today!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Toting this handy GEC 66 with a Keen Kutter jack today.

Beautiful Lag, Gary. How does it feel in the hand? Do you notice the back lock release protruding from the handle?

I find it comfortable to use, Vince. The lock release does protrude from the handle but doesn't cause any discomfort.

I've had this Winchester 1924 for a couple of years but yesterday was the first time to actually carry/use it. It was the first Black Box example I was able to acquire and while not all that drawn to the pattern I couldn't pass up the great deal. Anyway I've enjoyed it.

Daydreaming about camping instead of paying attention to work today.

Carrying this sweet, pre-loved Buck BF knife...an awesome gift from my buddy @JupiterPaladin . He heard I was missing mine and sent it my way, and with a little character already there's zero hesitation to put it right to use

More quotes over a week old, I think.

Great group, Gary. The photo of the Lambsfoot is very well done, amd a great gift from your wife and daughter!

Another great group, Gary! My favorite of these three is the whittler; it just has a classic look to it.

And thank you for your comments. I thought about getting the Buck 503 for months before I finally bought it. It's a nice size and different than my regular knife carry.

Thanks for noticing my Union Jack lambs foot and anniversary whittler, Dean. I enjoyed reading what you wrote about your Buck 503, and your ebony boys knife is simple and classic!

This "old timer" accompanied me today on my fruitless search for the wiley ring-necked pheasant. Seven dot (1973) 63047 stockman. Beautiful calm sunny day, so I enjoyed my walk even without seeing any birds!

Holy Cow! What a beauty!

Congrats on that sunny Barlow!

Thanks, great description, I think it has a new name, Sunny!

... I’m carrying these two this morning, but I’m recycling photos. Y’all stay safe out there!

Captivating couple of knives, Ron! That Northwoods Presidential is far more impressive than political presidentials IMHO!

As a UK camping store used to say, years ago, Ron: "Now is the winter of our discount tents"!

I've never heard that one, Jack; that's clever!

Thank you Gary. I agree, Ron’s a good guy. And he was NOT wearing shorts when we met for breakfast!
If you ever get a chance to meet another forum member, take it. One of these days, after this bat flu nonsense is behind us, and it’s safe again, and we drive through your area on our way up to my sister and bro-in-law’s Michigan hideaway, I’ll see if we can do a stop to meet you!

That sounds good to me, Jeff!

Thanks for the kind words my friend . The Russell Barlows that I carried yesterday were both obtained this year . ...

Harry

A "barn find" Barlow from Kabar and a CJ Barlow from Sheffield are my totes for today.

Auspicious pair of Barlows, Harry & JJ!

I prefer wearing shorts around the house, even in the middle of winter. If I have to do something outside, I’ll do some quick mental math taking into account the temperature outdoors and the amount of time I might be out there to determine whether or not it’s worth changing. I have definitely worn shorts while shoveling snow (calm, sunny day around 30° or so, with boots and a jacket of course… I’m not crazy ) and taken out the trash or grabbed the mail at -15°.

You're not crazy, Barrett, but I think you're unusual! Although when it comes to my winter wear, I keep piling more layers on my head and upper torso, but my legs go with just a single layer of cotton cloth covering them, no matter how low the temp goes.

...
Hope everyone has survived another week intact Pairing my Hartshead Barlow with an Old Friend today, a modded Opinel gifted to me by Lemmy Caution, (who doesn't seem to be a member here anymore )

Good pairing, Jack! I like to have access to Opinels with a spearpoint blade. I turned a normal #6 into a spearpoint, and I like the spear on the #8 Garden Knife, although I gave mine to my daughter as a kitchen knife when she moved to Minneapolis.

For Black Friday
GEC Charlie Lamb in Ebony
GEC #15 Huckleberry, also in Ebony

Dazzling dark duo, John!

Old Friends Friday

Praiseworthy pair of pocket pals you've got there, Rachel!

I’m not sure winter is coming this year. It’s still look/feels like fall outside here.

Wouldn't that be a dream-like ending to a rather nightmarish year?!?

so many stockman's', so few days...

Ain't that the truth??

I carried this old friend on another hike today. Note the festive decorations on the trail.

Always a thrill to see that Schrade Barlow and its distinctive jigging, Dean!
I think you must travel more upscale trails than i do!

Beautiful Canoe with great looking stag.

Thanks, John.

Two equal ends today, Boker Magnum scout and Churchill. Put the Churchill sheep foot blade to use today in the shop after work, cutting leather.

Two terrific knives! I think I'd like the Churchill even more if it had a spear main instead of the clip.

Taylor-Schrade 93OT Wrangler has been in my pocket most of the week.
Sheepsfoot and clip blade in a jack configuration, and hits my sweet spot of 3 1/2 inches closed length.
The steel is 7Cr, so roughly 440A. Suitable for so many grubby daily chores.

If I remember correctly, this particular clip shape falls into the category of a "California Clip": long, somewhat narrow, and the clip starts almost at the tang.

That's a grand knife, Frank! This week, I'm carrying a USA-made version of the 93OT that I won in a Fausto GAW almost 6 years ago.

This is my weekly compliment to everyone on all the cool knives and creative photos!
I’m having me a good old time Schradurday with these Old Timers...

Jeff, since you seem like a Schrade fan who would know, I'll ask you: why did they call that an IMPROVED muskrat??
