[Old Hunter]

Love that tortoise shell acrylic. Had a chance to pick up that one just before they were all gone, waited too long, Gorgeous knife!

Awesome knife

Good idea

Thanks gents - GEC really got their faux tortoise handles done right! OH

 

[Old Hunter]

Got two days running with GEC knives, so I’ll do a third day with my favorite watch-pocket knife - the single blade #14. OH

i keep kicking myself for not getting one of these M&G trappers when i had the chance. Really great looking knives. I wanted the appaloosa bone variant.

 

[Onebigbill]

Love mine in jigged bone too. Really feels good in my hand and the overall design, Fit & Finish, etc is spot on.

Have a good day!

The #66 is aging nicely, Jack.
I can't wait to see what GEC does with that frame next.

The Brown Saw Cut looks so nice on that knife.

Wonderful Whittler.

 

[JohnDF]

Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday

 

[WValtakis]

Carry for the day is always a dilemma, I decided it's "What, the Buck?" Wednesday

 

[Headwinds]

Again this week...

Such a handy pattern, I wish they’d do another run of those.

Excuse me if I only ever post the more attractive side of this one

Thanks and I'm still working on them

Camillus and a Remington today

A couple of Schrades today

Two more pairs with perfectly-matched and breathtaking bone, Steve!

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

Thanks, Dean. With the clip/sheepsfoot blade combo, do you prefer the 93OT jack or the 2015 BF knife from Canal Street Cutlery?
Attractive sawcut Ancient TC!

What’s that day between Friday and Sunday?
SCHRADURDAY!
With all apologies to Stagurday
I’ve never mastered the skill of using more than one knife at a time. But that doesn’t stop me from carrying more than one. Just need a sturdy belt.
Have a great day!View attachment 1472169View attachment 1472170

You sure are a tireless ambassador for Old Timers, Jeff!

Just another beautiful day in the neighborhood . Our first real snow this season .
...
I have these in my pockets today . Two of my many favorites . Stag Saturday . A day to be very thankful for my good friends and family's health .

We , as a country , are so blessed to have some pretty good doctors .

Harry

Toting a couple of Schatt slicers for Saturday.

Toting a couple of Imperial BSA scouts for Sunday.

...

My Daily Lamb with a 1970's Case Dogleg Jack...

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

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

Harry, José, JJx2, Jack, John, solphilos , Dean, Michael, @Marlingspike12 :
All superb, notable pairs!

Done!

Magnificent job, Rachel!
That scrimshaw example has gotta be a feather in your cap!

Been totin' this A.G. Russell Vest Pocket Semi-Skinner for a few days. It's the overall package that's keeping it in my pocket but the blade plays a big part in that.

I may have found myself a new favorite blade shape.

Unusual (to me) and interesting blade shape, Rick! Entire knife is pretty cool!

THAT'S a knife, Taylor!!

I remember showing that advert to an old climbing partner of mine about 1990. He moved back to Ireland a few years later, but we have met up a few times, and speak occassionally on the phone. He still laughs about that line! Thank you my friend, it's great to see your Valley Jack

Beautiful grain on Valley Jack GT!

...
So nice to see Valley Jack again.

Jack, Jon, John:
thanks for extolling Valley Jack's virtues.

...
I lost the 5K Qs quote, but I consider the broader than usual blades on a Schrade muskrat to be an improvement on the usual borderline awl blades on most muskrats.

Interesting observation; thanks!

...
That's what happens when people don't want to follow the guidelines.

If it were a real cookie, it would have a bite taken out of it.
...

"You can't always get what you want", despite our culture being fed the "Have it your way" myth for over half a century.
Good point about the cookie decoration.

Thanks, GT.
I also prefer round bolsters, but this model doesn't have a spey blade... I prefer the small pen blade.

Yes, the exact same frame and main blade.

Thanks for the informative comparison pic, John; it's worth 1000 words!

Thank you. When you don’t, I do. I think it’s the most classic, nicest stag knife I’ve owned of John’s.

...
I still might get an adventurer's vest.

Probably more versatile and fashionable than my fanny pack.

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.
...

Thanks for the TL-29 handle engraving info, Jeff; kind of amazing that it's still so clearly visible!
I can see how "butt bag" might have some unpleasant associations for you. I don't suppose "pelvic pouch" is much better?

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

I'll pontificate on almost any subject, Dean, no matter how much I actually know about it.

Thank you kindly X 3 Gary!!!

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

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

Thanks for the positive comments, JJ.

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.

I admire your recent commitment to the Electrician (and your handsome Case Peanut)! I think I've posted something very similar to your post here, remarking on the Electrician as a Swiss stockman or cattle knife.

Thanks Gary, I get a lot of enjoyment reworking an old knife and putting it back into service I enjoyed hearing of your once a year Christmas tree jacket, on a somber note my father had what he called his Funeral Suit and the inside pocket had all the pamphlets from many funerals I like the Christmas jacket of yours a lot more

Interesting story, Paul! I had a pair of shoes I bought in 1969 that became my Wedding/Funeral shoes for about 40 years, and I have a black suit whose inside chest pocket on the jacket has the pamphlets from the funerals of all 4 of my grandparents, my mom, and my mother-in-law.

...
Thanks Gary, I'm in less pain today, so I'm hopefully on the mend If there was video, I might be taking legal action Thankfully, I didn't end up face-down in the mud!
...

I hope the back improvement continues, Jack.
Nice pair, as always. Have you been carrying a lot of scout patterns in the past week or so?

You certainly take some fine photos of your splendid stag HHB, Bill!

Cool Wenger; I've never seen one like that!
Is it quite old?
