[Jack Black]

Excellent Friday Pairing, Jack.

Oh my, that is a nice looking knife.

Thanks buddy I managed to get things right at the post office this morning!

 

[JohnDF]

For this wonderful Friday morning...
I'll be carrying my Usual Lamb along with a very Generous Gift from my friend Todd, bigfish64

What a wonderful little Barlow, great F&F and absolutely beautiful bone color.

Happy Friday everyone. Looking forward to a nice weekend of potty training... ehhhh might need to switch to my beer & sausage this afternoon.

This BF20 knife came as a gift from a very kind, anonymous Porch Dweller. It has fit right in with my rotation. The m390 is a nice change of pace from my 1095s. I really like the texture that the rams horn provides.

Black Friday

Enjoy the day all

Cool pic too



You have a really interesting collection, I never realised there were so many variants You should post a thread about them

Thank you. Good idea, I'll work on that.

 

[ballex]

You have some really cool Douk-Douks! Not too familiar with them, but I may have to do a little research cause they look very interesting every time I see someone post them.

Thanks! There's a lot of interesting history about the Douk-Douk model.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Useful combination of blades.
I chose my knives before bed last night, so even accounting for the six hour time warp, I did NOT copy you!

Looks like you’re going to let that one stick around...

A.Wright, a gift from @Old Engineer , and a Camillus BSA 72. And some bearded iris making a welcome return.
These came from Grandma.View attachment 1525643

Very nice, love those Boker Barlows, almost dropped that one in my pocket today to ride along with my holey 15, but in the last second I grabbed my little Case instead!

 

[JohnDF]

Absolutely beautiful Barlow.

I like those little Pocket Hunters, and that one's lovely.
I have not read that one, it's going on the list... currently working my way through "Trout Bum" again.

Eye of the TIGER todayView attachment 1523942

Terrific trapper! I'm usually quite indifferent about acrylic handles, but that one made me sit up and take notice!

Same two today as yesterday.

Peanut and Pioneer are phenomenal pair!

Thank you John, it's just the bark I scraped off the stick I'm working on

...

Your stick is all bite, no bark, Jack; looking good!

Completely captivating canoe, Tim!

Been a bit black'n'white here today.
Even though the Douk has probably the softest blade amongst the knives I own it's still one of my favourites, dead easy to get sharp, but needs sharpening often.......

Really like that photo!

Between Gary and Jack they make up for your lack of individual quotes so that's good.
Nice knife btw.

Mark, I plead guilty as charged! I seem to have no qualms about a high quote quota (nor do I worry much about the quality vs. quantity issue ).

Small Douk-Douk 'Le Sorcier'

I had no idea there were so many variants of Douk-Douks; really enjoying the distinctive models you've been posting!

I never paid much attention to tortoise shell before, but after seeing some beautiful examples posted by several enablers recently I got interested. I started looking around and spotted this older RR small stockman. (I really needed another small stockman.) Cleaned up pretty well....

(and Vic Cadet)

Titillating turtle! I think RR does a great job with their faux tortoise shell handles.

Grabbed a Toothpick and a Trapper for Tuesday.

With that trio of blades, you must feel like John Henry, JJ - a steel-driving man!

Keen Kutter Cattle and an Oregon Trapper

Kudos on the Keen Kutter with the wrinkly bone, Steve!

I'm carrying my Ancient 2.0 TC Barlow.

Good to see your favorite Barlow, Dean!
(I don't think I've told you that I have a student from South Korea this semester whose real name is Yejin, but she goes by the name Bliss while in the U.S. I think we once discussed the nature of the character Bliss in an Asimov novel.)

For tonite’s company, some more Schrade

A great one to all.

Marvelous improved muskrat, Gus!

I had a knife out for a recover that was supposed to be back today. The USPS had a different idea about that so I thought this little 1970 Barlow would make a good substitute.

Beauty, Les!

Boker & Klaas. Unseasonably mild weather here today, a very pleasant change.

View attachment 1524317

Classy stag Klaas, Greg! (I've been enjoying a very mild March so far, too; even my snow piles next to the driveway are virtually gone. )

It is one of the recent Cocobolo 15’s

Lovely lumber!

I aspire to be the same

I like to pretend that I was once "larger than life", but I'm deliberately "downsizing" in my golden years.

Today I carry this GEC #83 in Ebony wood.
... ...

Your ebony 83 is exemplary, José!

I'll get on with it when the weather is better than it is here today my friend It IS the same model as Greg's Gary I like Marttinni knives, and think they're good value. I did a giveaway, with one of their fancier models, a few years back, but the plain LL works well for me

Going for my first Covid shot today, armed with my AC Lambsfoot

Jack, I think Marttiini have discontinued that specific model, but there are a couple of other inexpensive models of theirs that still attract me.

Your AC (Abolish Covid??) looks in fine fettle!
I think I've taken more steps this year than in any year of my life, so perhaps I should look into walking the Barratt way!

I was planning to carry some micarta today, realized it's Wednesday and 86'd that plan

Tremendous timber, David!

My usual Lamb for Wooden Wednesday, and a Case Medium Stockman because it just felt right.

Commendable and dependable, John!

[Pt-Luso]

Nice!

I really should break down and get one of these while I still can... Every time I have a knife budget I put it off, either too expensive or I don't want to wait a month for it to cross the pond. But pictures like that make me feel terribly foolish..

Thank you very much @Ice Tigre.
In my humble opinion, I think I should have a Lamb foot!!!

 

[Pt-Luso]

Your ebony 83 is exemplary, José!

Many thanks, Gary.

Thanks for the rhyme, GT.

well, by the little bit of interaction with you here, it’s clear to me that your wit and verve is still quite grand! Be well, Gary
