Thanks, John; I thought so, too. Of course, when I'm being dealt a knife in each of 14 different categories each week, I'm almost guaranteed to have several winners!You got dealt a nice hand this week, GT.
(And tomorrow I plan to post the "free choice" knives I selected this week as I finally restarted a practice that I abandoned back around March 15, 2020 at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.)
You must have some Huge Pockets my friend and that is some very nice looking Stag .
Sash carry, of course
if I want to cook with gas, I’ll go to my kitchen. When I grill, it’s over wood. Tomahawk in a paella pan with my grilling knife, GEC 23 Beaver Tail.
Thank you my friend, I managed to get in a few miles in some local woodlandsQuite an outstanding threesome of slicers today, Jack; it looks like you might be heading for a countryside walk-a-bout, cheers!
It was pretty hot here yesterday though, by Yorkshire standards Those two stunners pair together nicely JJGrabbed these two large framed, pocket filling totes from Schatt & Morgan for today.
Terrific trio Gary, and it's always nice to see your Union Jack
Peanut of the Week is a Rough Rider amber jigged bone model:
Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Colt stag copperhead:
Lambsfoot of the Week is Union Jack, a rosewood lambsfoot my wife and daughter got me in York, England:
Knives are looking good; have you seen any lighthouses?If the weather clears up, we are going to check out Sleeping Bear Dunes today, and I’ll have these in my pocket. View attachment 1600611

We turn off this street to get to our condo.

For Thrifty Thursday, I'm carrying a tiny lockback from Rough Rider.
Cool bird scrimshaw, Rachel!Thanks! Li'l birdie's singing on the pile side:
That's a lot of Wenger!
Love that Staglon on Uncle Henrys!
That Case canoe looks like a seaworthy craft!
Delightful duo, José!
Notable pair, JJ! Appealing tang stamps.Toting the two thrifty Hammer Brand/Imperial slicers from the late 30s.
How do you like that knife, Dan? What's the purpose of that big "birdseye rivet" below the "THER" on the closed blade? It can't be the pivot pin that far below the bolster, can it??...
What a vintage treasure!I carry today this old Portuguese knife MAM-Palaçoulo.
...
Stag HHB and health food is a great combo, Jack!...
Highlight of my week!
Safe travels, Todd! When we used to go "up north" for just 1 week, we'd try to pack in all the activities we could into 6 days, and I'd be exhausted after a week of vacation. Once we decided to stay for 2 weeks and alternate "active" days and "chill" days, vacation became more enjoyable for me.
I don't know how I've managed to miss outdoor weddings until now. The weather was actually almost perfect and there were no bugs. But since it was a beach wedding, I left coat and tie at home, and I ended up with no sand in my dressiest walking shoes!
Cool photos, sir!! Carving runes on rock must have required the Vikings to sharpen their pocket knives frequently!Continuing to edc my little Tobacco Road congress, this time during a picnic with the family at our city’s largest Viking site, the tumulus Anundshög. Fixed my sons kite with it, so it was even used!
Folkvid raised all these stones after Heden, Anund’s brother. Vred carved the runes.
The largest ship setting at the site.
In summary it’s been a nice summer’s day in the outskirts of my hometown Västerås. The main burial site is visible in the background. According to legend Viking chieftains or even kings are buried here.
A useful tip that I've never tried myself, but have often contemplated!Thank you for the kind words Gary, and for that useful tip
...
Congrats on the new Lambsfoot, Mike, and that's a handsome Texas Jack!Will be very happy to see 5pm today and say goodbye to this past week! Nothing terrible, just a bit of a stressful work week. Looking forward to this weekend like you wouldn't believe. One more week until vacation
Going with a Lambsfoot today, paired with a @bigfish64 influenced pick. Have a great weekend all!
Hilarious story, Gus! Do you still have your Soldier Field relic? If so, you should use it in a knife photo, now that we know the backstory!5K Qs
Just waiting for your “catch-up” post buddy…
...
What a time in my kinda’ town as Sinatra had sang famously long ago. It really did feel like home Gary!!
Now on to today’s carry, a Robeson of course…

A great Friday and weekend to all
The sawcut osage orange sure looks fabulous!
Your black SAK is intriguing, Alan! I should probably try one of those more "modern" Vics, but I'm quite happy just gradually picking up some of the "old school" models.
Another great story of your memorable Chicago experience, Gus! Earlier this week I grilled some hot dogs for my wife and me (turkey dogs, since my wife doesn't eat mammals) and we had an extended discussion about acceptable condiments, with she promoting ketchup and sweet relish and I proclaiming that to be heresy.@bigfish64
You bet Todd, I did miss a part of the game experience…
when I ran for those famous Wrigley hotdogs to combat the everflowing onslaught of suds, the kind lady and man behind the counter said they were closed! I pleaded that being from the Canadian north, I just had to have a batch for us, it just had to happen!!
She looks over at the fellow who had started cleaning up with a smile and says to me…
“ so what do you want on ‘em?” Cleverly I reply “I want mustard and onions only! I ain’t from New York mam!! No ketchup for me!!!” She lets out a holler “Virgil, get this fine man a 1/2 dozen dogs!! He sure knows how to eat !”
That covers most of what I recall lol
Remarkable pair!!
Splendid sowbelly, Tim!Have a great weekend everyone.
That's a captivating canoe! Do they call the covers green bone?1985 Case Canoe——single spring. I like canoes with only one spring. Actually I like knives with the least amount of springs that they have to have.
I love that lambfootIt's just dawned on me that I haven't actually posted my carry today!
Thank you for compliment . I bought this knife new when I was a teenager . It was my first Case knife . No it is not green bone ; it’s chestnut bone ,but I think it looks somewhat like jigged Appaloosa bone .
