Jack's Random Tuesday Carry

[waynorth]

This Canadian-made version of a Frosolone Sfilato poked its head out of the morass that is my desk, and shouted, " Io, per favore, eh!!" (Me please, eh!!)
Ok, Ok !! I thought . . .

A very lucky dip today! I always enjoy carrying the #25s, and this one, in GEC's Unicorn Ivory Micarta, was gifted to me in Sheffield by my good friend btb01 It's a reminder of a very happy day Barrett picked up 3 of these, still has one, and generously gifted the other to Jolipapa . so it makes me think of Alain too

Camillus stockpun with the wrong blade deleted, which seems to be the usual. Most of my stockpuns are like this. Why did they do this instead of that? I would guess because they knew from experience that this would sell better than that.

Ohta friction folder bought straight from him at Blade show a few years back, superb little knife!

Ran (hobbled!) out for a haircut, almost forgot a knife!! Managed to grab this one sitting by the computer!! Early Scagel Repro, commissioned from Queen by Dave Shirley of Northwoods fame! I almost forgot how great these are - firm spring, sunk joint, good stag and great steel! This sucker will shave a wild Boar!!

If that's an early one, Dave Shirley swore he made those in his "factory" in Michigan. He was cagey when it came to the parts manufacturer but for that early model claimed it was by him. IIRC he said it in a Knife World interview and online in the old Knifeforums. He originally had all his folding knives made by Queen, then he claimed he was making them, and then it was a combination of Queen parts and his construction, then some Queen parts and construction and then all Queen again.

Do you know for sure it was Queen? I believe I have the same knife and it's put together kind of wonky, worse than Queen, so I thought it was probably made by him after a few beers I like the knife, its got character it's just a gap-tooth girl

Sorry your knife is a bit "wonky"! He might have made mine on a better day!!?? Queen parts, I reckon! The only flaw is a hairline in the Stag I am going to super-glue!! Otherwise it is top Quality!!

Mine has a crack at a pin, but it's never gotten any larger. To me it was a good lesson in how a knife can be charming due to its flaws, and expensive knives can be fun even when imperfect...like a spouse

I don't often carry a Pruner, but Lady Luck sent this old Richartz my way today The 'Whale' stamp always makes me smile Looks like this one was produced between the wars, when 'Foreign' knives, sold better here than 'German' knives

This Ulster bubbled to the surface.
