Hard to beat a large XX Texas Jack.
Beautiful whittler sunknife !

Your TJ has some beautiful bone, LT. Thanks for the compliment on my whittler, I always enjoy your pics, you have an amazing collection of desirable knives, new, vintage and customs, all nicely photographed too.

 

[sunknife]

Interesting that your 47 whittler has that main blade, the one I had was more of a California clip.

Still gorgeous to see though! They don't seem too common, even on the forums, I'm really missing mine lately.

Thanks, Ice Tigre. Personally I prefer the broader clip but all whittlers appeal to me.

 

[huntnfishin]

Packin this one today.

 

[JohnDF]

I doubt there's anything you can do to that blade by cutting apples that Flitz wouldn't take right back off.

Including the etch that I like so much.
Nope... My Hartshead is a safe queen, plain and simple.

Feels like I haven’t had much spare time lately, but I sat down for a cold “Everything has Eyes” by Cosmic Eye brewery this evening. Installed some drip irrigation in the garden and watched my golden chase birds away from my feeders too . I’ve really missed this backyard work.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but this case Bose cattle knife has been getting a heck of a lot of pocket time lately. Quite the knife and I really love the ebony.

Old Timer: 4 pin 1978 to 1984 7OT with 1095 carbon steel blade.

Wouldn’t that be 1978 to 1981?

 

[Sacto]

I carried this one today:

I’m just getting ready to put the cap lifter to good use on the back deck.

That time of the month when a monthly Christmas gift arrives from Scotland called WEE BOX . But not the ceramic basket .

Used one of these two old knives to open it up .

This pair again today...

Nice knife, but that second photo is beautiful, grew up on the water myself and I still live on the same lake.

Thanks. I wish I lived here, unfortunately it’s not my house. It’s a place we rent with a bunch of friends for the winter in Lake Tahoe. The view out the back is beautiful; and I still get excited every time we come up here. I imagine it must have been amazing for you growing up on a lake.

 

[Sacto]

I'm carrying my one and only Farmer's Jack today.

That one's a stunner. Those are such cool knives. glad to see it getting used.

Lol!


Hmm...

I was thinking more along the lines of a narwhal on a marlin spike.

 

[Pàdruig]

Great to see you here Dylan, and with two smashing knives Keep an eye out for the mail

Thank you, Jack! Now you have me dreadfully curious - I'll be eagerly keeping a look out. Very nice Swayback - I think I'd like mine better if it had a secondary blade on it like yours does.

Continuing with the CSC Jack today with a 62 to keep it company.

Yeah I bet, how couldn’t you get excited with that view! Well, a midwestern reservoir isn’t exactly a beautiful mountain lake but it was a great place to grow up and raise our kids...it’s home.

Friday night table top carry and Definitely Saturday’s carry.
Case XX Snowbelly Buffalo Horn from there latest run and OMG I’m impressed with this one

His Grandmother, my Mother-in-Law, came from Norway. He finds languages super easy. I told him he should have studied languages because he's got a gift for it. He studied ASL, and taught himself Latin, Japanese, Norwegian, Esperanto, and some Italian. I can't hardly speak English worth a darn.

I’ve heard Norwegian is one of the easiest second languages for native English speakers to learn. Haven’t heard the same about Latin or Japanese.

I’ve also heard that Norwegians like to eat tacos on Friday. “Fredagstaco.” Apparently it’s a thing.

I've never been into Trappers, and I'm giving this one a carry today to see what I've been missing.

Lots of life left in that one.

I think most guys would throw this knife in the safe.
Not me... It's way more valuable to me in my pocket.

How could you not use that one? After all, the tube it came in said “A Barlow in every pocket,” not “A Barlow in every safe!”

Classic

Nice work on that Opinel, David.

A favorite small Tinker and a favorite Bull Nose, a 2013 with green Linen Micarta and 01 Steel

Another great utilitarian pair, Paul. I think all my Bull Noses are 1095 (didn’t get my first until the 2015 run), but I do have an O1 #99 Farmer Lock.

I carried my Schrade Cut Co. Barlow on my trail hike today.

Nice photos, Dean.

View attachment 1534467 Carrying the 15 boys knife today. Such a classic and simple pattern.

That’s a handsome #15!

Fancy!

Tell me your old, without saying you’re old. Here I’ll go first. Happy Friday Everyone!!

Very cool church key!

I was about to ask where you kept the cattle.

I’ve had this Micarta #85 in my pocket most of this past week. I’ll probably change it up tomorrow, I think.

Why did the allodemographian throw a clock out the window? He/she/they wanted to see time fly.
Speaking of pronomial choices required on your name tag, can this really be happening again this year?
[Edited to add, yes and no. It's all virtual. ]

Choices...
I could flip it for a large profit.
I can put it in a safe and only take it out for pictures.
Or I can pocket it, and use it, and enjoy it as much as possible.
Do you think I made the right decision?

Definitely!

Thank you, Jack, I did have a great hike. I like the look of the bone on your Case Swayback ; does the pile side match?

Thanks Dean, it does, @Peregrin did a great job picking it out

Dynamite knife duo and distinctive slip, Jack!

...

Thanks, Jack. That my Christmas canoe happened to show up near Easter on my rotation schedule is something that you, the creator of Random Tuesday carries, should appreciate!
You're sporting a pair of which you can be proud!

Thanks for the kind words, and for the morning chuckle, my friend

Felt like a "Fancy Friday" to me! I picked this one up because it reminded me of the Lake Interframe collaboration I'd been chasing for a decade or better. Then @Gary W. Graley put one up for sale and I was lucky enough to get it.
TGIF!

Spectacular Gary, you and @Gary W. Graley are turning into a bit of a tag-team!

Thank you Jack, I'm liking the acrylic quite a bit enjoy your weekend my friend, with your dynamic duo you are covered for most anything

Thanks a lot pal, I hope Spring has come there, and that you have a great weekend

Yes, I've been corrected as well, though it too was years ago--my Dutch buddy is now quite used to me and my sense of humor

About 20 years ago, I stayed in Amsterdam with a friend who is originally from Frisia. I told all our friends he was a closet Frisian nationalist, and kept me up all night singing Frisian drinking songs, to which I simply made up the words!

Thanks a lot, Jack!!!

Sweet little Wharncliffe swayback to go with your Lamb today; the Bagpipe Ebony are certainly awesome looking covers!

Thanks a lot JJ

The Hartshead is my weakness... I may never be strong enough to actually use it.
To me, the Hartshead is like a museum piece and needs to be preserved for future generations.

May the force be with you my friend

Camillus 66 and a Churchill

Thank you, Jack! Now you have me dreadfully curious - I'll be eagerly keeping a look out. Very nice Swayback - I think I'd like mine better if it had a secondary blade on it like yours does.

Continuing with the CSC Jack today with a 62 to keep it company.

It's taking its time a bit Dylan, but will hopefully get there in the end Thank you, the secondary Pen is a useful addition Good-looking pair there

Have a great weekend everyone
