Notable pair of black Pioneers, José!

Exceptional knife, José!

Many thanks, Gary.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Memorable stag, José! Thanks for showing both sides; I don't recall seeing the pile side before (but I don't recall what I had for breakfast yesterday ).

Thank you very much, Gary. You’re right, I think this is the first time I’ve put the pile side.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Exemplary stag Peanut, José!

Many thanks, Gary.

[JohnDF]

Hope you have a good day, my friend.

That's in "like new" condition.
That was my carry of choice all through High School.

For Monday, my Usual Lamb and a Micarta TC Barlow...

Good morning. A good knife or two makes everything a little better, right?

[Trvr]

Electrician and peanut today.

 

[RDaneel]

Thanks, Dean. And "luminous" is a perfect description of the following photo with your Buck 503! (Does the 503 have a "regal" name like some of the Buck 500 series do: Knight, Prince, Duke, etc.?)

- GT

Thank you, Gary. The Buck 503 is called the Prince. Makes me feel important carrying it.

 

[RDaneel]

I'm carrying my Avatar today, the Ancient 2.0 TC Barlow.

[5K Qs]

Should have carried this stag Hoffritz yesterday but any day is good for it.

That's a superb pen knife, Les; when you carry that, you're puttin' on the Ritz!

Thanks for the additional photos of that admirable knife! What kind of wood is used for the handle?

...
PS, yes GT 5K Qs , that is a Saddlehorn made by the late great Tony Bose about a year ago.

That's really special, LT!

...
I'm not sure about how much wood a beaver can remove or how many it takes. I just know that one day I hiked in that park and saw the very fresh sign of beavers!
...

Well, you know more than I do about beavers, Dean. I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild, nor have I even seen any signs that would suggest their presence.
Your slip and TC are impeccable!

What's another day with this one?

I can't answer your question, Mike, but a day WITHOUT it must be like a day without sunshine! (Referencing a VERY old TV ad for the Florida Citrus Commission.)

5K Qs thanks, I agree that the medium stockman is a classic. As usual, you have some fine knives today.
I'm going light with just my peanut today.

Thanks for your encouragement. "just" your peanut is a fantastic carry!

This little ol thing

...
Your horn lambsfoot is a treasure! So's the watch!

...
Very tasty threesome you have today; I really like the image of your Guardian lamb beauty, too!

...
That's a great pic of your Lam Jack, and a very nice watch too
...

Thanks for the lambsfoot and pocket watch compliments.

Slipped this old friend into my pocket today.

Peerless Pocket-Eze, JJ!

Thank you, Gary. That Schrade Whittler was a thoughtful gift from Ron @Half/Stop when we met for breakfast in Tennessee on Nov 29th just days before we lost him

Special knife, Jeff!

5K Qs
Thanks GT, so far I'm really liking the half hawk. Only thing I didn't like was I couldn't find a smooth tobacco bone with the acorn shield lol. Well I also wanted to change the jigging it had really uniform jigging and I changed that with my trusty dremel .
I guess in a way the "Coal Miner" edition is a reminder of home,I originate from the coal fields of Virginia. My grandfather and my mom's brothers all were miners, though I've not worked in the mines I did work in the industry for awhile

Thanks for your opinions, David. Very cool that the Coal Miner version of the Halfhawk reminds you of "family ties"!

She promised that on my deathbed I'll receive total consciousness!

After seeing that clip again for the first time in ages, I'm gonna have trouble not thinking "Total Consciousness" every time someone posts a TC Barlow here from now on.

Thanks Gary!!! Found a couple large pelican cases filled with various motion picture camera "leftovers."
...

Sounds interesting, JJ, but way above my mechanical/technical pay grade!

It was a Christmas present Gary A bit of a 'coffee table book', but there are some interesting projects
...
Thank you GT It IS the Abbeydale Jack, thank you for noticing my friend

The sandwich was very tasty, but so filling I had to respectfully decline the offer of chilli from my neighbour several hours later

Wishing everyone a safe and happy week I'm starting mine off with my Hartshead Barlow and a Metal Monday Penknife by Needham Brothers

Jack, you'll have to share any projects you do from the book!
Thanks for the Abbeydale confirmation; I wasn't sure I could accurately recognize it in a tree.
It's hard for me to imagine a situation in which I would refuse the offer of chili!
Great Monday choices!

5K Qs that picture captured the sunrise. I had never seen one quite like that. Here is today’s sunrise.

Thanks for the info; those are a couple of impressive sunrise pics! And that Challenge Scout is also an eye-opener to start the day!

For Monday, my Usual Lamb and a Micarta TC Barlow...

Good to see you're going completely straight on Monday, John (blade-wise)!

Good morning. A good knife or two makes everything a little better, right?

You won't get much argument around here I'll bet, Jeff. And those are definitely TWO good knives you posted!
