Hi Tomas, because it's a copy of my 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot SFO My design, and I paid for and was promised exclusivity (as were those who bought that knife) Thank you very much, that one was from 2018. Sadly, there won't be anymore Guardians SFOs made by that company, for reasons I'm sure you can understand

It’s disappointing they would do that to you. I don’t blame you for taking your business elsewhere. Do you have other companies that can make your Guardians SFOs going forward, or were they the last remaining option?

 

[Sacto]

I carried a wharncliffe trapper today.

Daughters tagged out yesterday, today was Dad’s day to hunt…

 

[Jack Black]

Great way to start the week with those two Sheffield beauties; looks like you're keeping your Guardians Lamb nice and sharp, too!

A new Lambsfoot arrived today so I paired it with this "Metal Monday" beauty kindly gifted by Jack Black .

Thanks JJ, yes, the Lambsfoot is a pleasure to sharpen Congratulations on your new addition

Forum knife and small Tinker this weekend, the Tinker helped in shed assembly

Nice shed Paul Nice knives too of course!

It’s disappointing they would do that to you. I don’t blame you for taking your business elsewhere. Do you have other companies that can make your Guardians SFOs going forward, or were they the last remaining option?

That kind of dishonest behaviour is rather endemic in Sheffield I've found, which was one of the reasons I was reluctant to go into another cutlery project. Those firms would make more money if they were honest Have to see what happens going forward my friend, thanks for you support

Carrying my Hartshead Barlow, and a Jose Antonio Herreros Vendetta for Random Tuesday Have a good day everyone

 

[Pt-Luso]

Wow José two more lookers!

Thank you very much, Todd.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today with this A.Wright & Son Lambsfoot in green bone.

 

[Corto_Malt]

I was hesitating on which one to take, caught by time, I took both.
Good day to all.

And people wonder why we carry Swiss Army Knives.
This gives me something to show my wife the next time she says something about knives.
“See honey, I don’t have that many. Mine mostly fit in a dresser drawer.”

Just received my custom slip made from an Ozzie Smith glove. I love it.
...

Congrats on the fantastic "wizardly" slip; the 2-color double-stitching is especially nice!

Rare pair, José; not many people have knives like those two!

Toting these two thrifty 1930's Hammer Brand/Imperials wearing Cracked Ice.
...

Glad to see that ice still hasn't melted after 90 years, JJ; outstanding pair!

Voos Arrow and a Schrade 879
...

Remarkable duo, Steve! I especially like that round-bolstered SW stockman!

Wow, 32 years, that must feel like a home away from home. Hope you find another place to enjoy many more vacations Gary.

Thanks, Todd. We'll see what we come up with.

...

Hope the week has been kind to y'all Got my Hartshead Barlow and a Maserin Plow with me today
...

A couple of knives exuding style and substance, Jack!

Farmer’s Jack with my TL-29. Or Trapper, if you prefer. It’s called both on the internet.
I grow food not furs, so...
Two Jack Friday.

Enjoy your day.
Beautiful weather in the middle of the US, but I know it’s been kind of rough for some of you lately. Best wishes to all!

Pair of aces, Jeff!

Sounds good to me but I married an ”activity girl“ - she plans all our vacations and hardly misses a minute! OH

You're like Henry Clay, the Great Compromiser!

I’m carrying a “new to me” small Texas Jack, and a SAK Cadet. I’ll probably need the nail file on the Cadet after opening and closing this new Jack so many times today! View attachment 1632817

Congrats on the handsome new Texas Jack, Todd!

Jack Black SFO Lambsfoot in Ebony.
View attachment 1632822

Your ebony lambsfoot is very elegant, Bill!

...
Two copper pieces for me this Friday. The days are getting shorter, so pocket lights are returning to the EDC regiment.

What model is that copper Böker Plus, and what's the second blade? Looks like it's quite small, right? It's a looker!

My nurse today didn't hurt me a bit. Third of four rabies shots.
...

Those shots seem to be coming fast and furious! For some reason, I thought the series of shots was spread over several weeks, but that's probably based on a treatment that was state-of-the-art 50 years ago.

Ebony for Friday.
...

Distinguished dark duo with definite diversity size-wise!

I'm not really a Barlow fan, but those vintage 49x Bökers with the tree on the bolster sure move the needle for me!

Case Bros. whittler in chestnut bone and a Boker Club Knife in ironwood.

Splendid duo, Greg; I especially like that bone whittler!

Double stag for Saturday Have a great weekend everyone

Impressive double stag carry, Jack! (You could go totally over the top with triple stag by adding the Abbeydale Jack! )

[5K Qs]

I carry today this Portuguese Ciol in Cork.

Memorable knife, José!

Two jackknives re-done in elk stag, a little Klein utilty, and a Case XX Sodbuster.View attachment 1633436View attachment 1633437

Admirable craftsmanship on the reheating, Jeff!

Spent a week with a Case 6318 in my pocket - if I could live with just one pocketknife this one would be it. However I am home from vacation and have them all at my disposal, rose early and went down to the dock to fish a couple of hours at dawn, pulled this old 897UH Uncle Henry out of my tacklebox to trim a tag line and I think it will do just fine for the rest of the day. Going to fuel the boat and go riding here in a bit. OH

...

Superb 897UH, Bruce; that model probably gets my vote for ideal medium stockman!

Happy Saturday All... I've got my Usual Lamb and a Case Medium Stockman at hand.

Notable pair, John; your stockman has glorious bone!

Camillus #17 Heavy Jack and a #68 Stockman that I just picked up
...

Congrats on the new Camillus stockman with the "narwhal awl", Steve!

Case still makes nice knives. Not much you cannot accomplish with these two. And stainless is nice when conditions are wet.

Definitely nice knives, LT! Speaking of wet conditions, did you and yours make it through Ida OK?

Standard Issued Kutmaster:
...

Cool Kutmaster stockman with those lovely round bolsters!

...
Have a great Sunday everyone I'm carrying my Hartshead Barlow again today, and a nice Case Barlow kindly gifted to me by @JJ Cahill
...

Phenomenal pair of Barlows, Jack! IMHO, that Case you have is the best of the Barlows Case released a couple of years ago.

Enjoying seeing the baseball cards. When I was a boy and a teenager these two locals were hot pitchers. Gaylord Perry and Jim “Catfish” Hunter. Got to meet both several times in eastern NC after they had retired - that’s when I got the autographs. The Schrade-Walden 294 is still as snappy as the day it was built. OH

Couple of more-than-competent pitchers from an era when I followed baseball much more closely than I do now.

Black and Blue for me today. Have a great Sunday everyone. View attachment 1634105

Great combo!

Happy Sunday All
Carrying my Usual Lamb and Case Medium Jack
...

I can see why that pair could become your "Usual", too!

...
It's a double Boker day.
...

Remember that old TV game show "Bökers Wild"? I don't know if I ever watched it myself, but I remember hearing it on the TV in another room with the host shouting "Böker ... Böker ... Böker!!!"

Thanks! It belonged to my late older brother. He had pitched it into a box of junk tools after he pretty well wore out the pen blade digging grout out of his bathroom tile. I managed to rescue it and it’s one of my favorites now.

Thanks for the story for that priceless knife!

Thanks buddy, that's an interesting range of knives there Cool Mikov. I like the slicey blades on the Pallares folders, the resin handles not so much. How do you find the steel and F&F on that Scout Gary, it's a nice-looking knife? :

Thanks, Jack; I kind of like the resin handles, but I'm attracted to knives at the lower end of the price range.
My standards are probably not very high, but I'm very pleased with the Böker Magnum scout!

...
Appreciate your nice comments, as always, Gary.
Do check out the 111mm Vics and the 130mm Wengers. As with any SAK, the number of layers is what determines how bulky it feels. My 111 has only two, so it feels very slim. My 130 has three ~ can & bottle openers on one layer, saw on another, and blade on the third. This does make it thicker, almost to the point where it’s nearly square in cross section. But in use, it feels perfect and secure.
A tad bulky admittedly, but surprisingly light. I usually carry it in an old Queen folding hunter belt sheath. But not always.

I could see it being the one and only for a long trail backpacker or hunter. It’s a very capable tool.

BUT it absolutely never dawned on me that I’d ever hear someone call it a “novelty knife”.

Thanks for the additional info on the big SAKs, Jeff.
No offense intended with "novelty"; it's kind of a subjective word - if something is new to me, I'll call it a "novelty", but someone familiar with that same thing will not consider it a lovely at all.

I like it a lot. There are no gaps in the springs and bolsters, the blades are nicely centered with no rubbing, it's really very sharp and the scales look and feel really good. For $32, that's realy hard to argue with.

Thanks for your feedback!

I didn’t until a handful of years ago either. Stories like his and many others that deal with heart and character are among the reasons why I don’t like the sabermetrics ruling the game today.

I like the "human" stories and I like the statistical insights; have a bunch of Bill James books on my shelves from back in the 1980s.

[Amir Fleschwund]

5K Qs ~ thanks, GT!
I’ll see about painting multiplication tables on that 130mm Wenger. Then it will fit any definition of the novelty descriptor.

 

[SteveC]

5K Qs - Thanks Gary !

Narwhal awl...love it

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

If I need it as I did yesterday, I’ll add the Camillus model #1, otherwise, I’m good with these two~

 

[screened porch]

Those shots seem to be coming fast and furious! For some reason, I thought the series of shots was spread over several weeks, but that's probably based on a treatment that was state-of-the-art 50 years ago.

Could be. My last one is this Friday.
No hospital today!
