@5K Qs
Many Thanks,

Thanks, Jack.
Yet another arresting pic of your stag HHB!


Your stag 25 is an ace, José!


A-1 red canoe, Arian29 !


I like the auspicious Big Iron, Jeff!
Is that the original "white paint" label on the TL-29, or do you keep it touched up?




peanutsxx & T Trvr & @Fire King, the yeller Case pen, the Vic Electrician, and the Vic Swiss Army 1 that you've respectively posted are all admirable knives (and personal favorites of mine)!


I have many ways of expressing 2 words that will be advantageous in solving your carry dilemma, Jer! Fanny Pack, Butt Bag, Belt Bag, Bum Bag, Belly Bag, Hip Hamper, Sacroiliac Sack.



It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Fine photos, Dean and Joel!


Appealing color coordination, JJ, and I love the ancient regular 3-gon shield on the big jack!


That aged and alluring Pioneer could be your Knife of the Year!!


Aristocratic knife, José!


You certainly have many astounding cutlery jewels, LT!
Thanks for sharing pics of them with us here.


Attractive and versatile pair, Mike!


Awesome and august Voos, and adorable little camo duckie, Jeff!


Land Sakes, that's a laudable Lag, Vince, and that's no bull!
I also like your Advent sig line. I don't think I've ever sung that Christmas hymn in Latin, but I (barely) remember enough of my high school Latin and English cognates (event, convention, invent) to recognize the phrase and its meaning.


Lavish, luminous bone on that pair, Steve!


Your and Charlie's lofty landmark lambsfoots are definitely lookers, Jack!


Thanks, John. I like canoes, but there's surprisingly little variation in the pattern, so I feel lucky when I get one with a different blade shape than usual!


That Osage Orange sure is a luxuriant lumber for knife handles!


Wondrous wood it is, too!
Lovely Böker Barlow!


Grand grain on that Opinel, Jeff! I have an oak Opinel #8 that my daughter got for me in Spain, and I don't think the darker stripes on mine are as distinctive and "high contrast" as those on your example. (But maybe it's just differences in lighting.)

Glorious horn on your BF 2020, Jeff!


Gallant, gleaming pair, JJ! I'm certainly taken with the Carmargue Cross on the bolster of the bottom knife in the pile. I may have mentioned this before, but I have a still-unused Rough Rider scrimshaw kit, and I should try putting that faith/hope/charity symbol on a white bone marlin spike I have.


Gadzooks, that BSK is a gem, Tom!


Glamorous quartet, José!


Those antique bone Case knives with the threaded bolsters are gorgeous and groovy, Greg! That canoe especially floats my boat!

Thank you, GT.
I like the unique color of Orange Osage.

Quality quintet of knives, and a very cool magnifier(?)! - GT

Thank you, and yes.

I still might get an adventurer's vest.

[JJ Cahill]

Thanks a lot buddy, the sheath was made by a feller over here called Simon Davidson

Very well crafted!

I always love seeing the angles of a big Rope Knife blade JJ, and that's a great example Paired very nicely too

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Hope everyone's weekend is going well Another dreary day here, and I thought I'd at least brighten up my pockets

A couple of wonderful stag covered lambs will certainly brighten anyones day; a pair of true beauties!

 

[SteveC]

A Mustang and a Barlow today.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Toting a couple of Imperial BSA scouts for Sunday.

Thanks for your kind and entertaining comments, Gary!
The white in the embossed TL-29 is original. Since all of my knives are users, and I rarely carry in slips, wear happens.
I suppose if I had @r8shell’s steady scrimshaw hands, I could touch it up, it might be tempting. I have others, both wood and plastic, where any paint that might have been there is long gone.

I like your euphamisms for your multiple knife carry equipage, but butt bag reminds me of my abdominal surgery.. ah never mind

I thought my Opi might be ash, but it’s probably oak.

Resourceful! I smoked yesterday, and had to keep feeding the fire box to keep that heat up.
I am determined to grill and smoke no matter how much winter tries to foil me!

[RDaneel]

That's the truth, Dean! I have old retired winter coats and gloves that I use only for going to get a Christmas tree once a year.

It's a joy to hear the story and see the knife!

Thanks, Dean.
Your orange pair is a great choice as we transition from fall colors to winter bleakness!

Thank you for your kind comments and your insight into your Christmas tree handling clothes, Gary.

I carried these two today: Case 63090 Stockman and a Pocket Hunter.

 

[Old Engineer]

This is a Do Nothing , Sit Around kind of day and I have these Feel Good knives in my pockets .

Cool euro-pair, JJ, and an average of 3 blades/knife is about perfect!

Appealing color coordination, JJ, and I love the ancient regular 3-gon shield on the big jack!

And a superb Sunday (a week ago, I think) it must have been, JJ!!

Thank you kindly X 3 Gary!!!

Gallant, gleaming pair, JJ! I'm certainly taken with the Carmargue Cross on the bolster of the bottom knife in the pile. I may have mentioned this before, but I have a still-unused Rough Rider scrimshaw kit, and I should try putting that faith/hope/charity symbol on a white bone marlin spike I have.

That would be an awesome scrimshaw project; I'd love to see that!
Btw, thanks again!

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week for me since last Monday has been this 5" Marbles scrimshawed white bone leg knife with a stag spacer up by the pivot:

Very cool scrimshaw on your Marbles; quite the long legged beauty, too!

 

[peanutsxx]

Done!

Thanks, guys!

It's good to have options.

Really, really super work @r8shell!

Thank you GT! Always nice to see the Valley show up in the rotation.

My favourite traditional pattern has been a stockman since I got my 34ot in the early 90s. This electrician reminds me of a stockman with a punch instead of a spey blade and the addition of a screwdriver/bottle opener (which was put to good use this weekend). I like it.
