Thanksgiving Day Pocketknives-Yours?

- if I may join you in spirit, Alan...........a recently acquired Congress pattern from Solingen

(forgive poor pics, taken by light of the screen alone before I hit the sack)

 

Based on the "quality" (note quotes) of the cooking lately, in all likelihood ... or at least a vast majority of the likelihoods ... the fowl or turkey will be ... ummm ..." somewhat" ... "over-cooked", and almost as "tender" and as easy to cut (and chew) as a ingot of forged 6-3 Titanium.

Therefore, I'm switching from Schrade 1095 and "Schrade+" stainless, to D2 and S30V. (... may as well switch now ...)

August, 2020 Brass, S30V, and Ebony Buck Web Special 110, on my belt, and a Marbles MR431 D2 series Sowbelly stockman, in my pocket.

I'll have my faux/reproduction Cold War Era West German Bundeswehr GAK on a hook by my desk, in the event I need a saw for the fowl bird, or the yams or mashed taters, and/or a spear point for the green beans or Asparagus, depending on which they decide upon.

It seems possessing "cooking skills" is not a job requirement, for the staffette working the shifts that cooking occurs.

 

How could you NOT DO the top 2 my friend ???? Those knives were made to be carried every day . Be Safe and have a great Thanksgiving my friend .

We are going out- knife is still TBD but I am leaning towards my ironwood Albers.

 

On the very positive side : That would indicate that your meal will Last A Long Time .

Harry

 

My BF knife should be here tomorrow or Friday
Most definitely it will be the one in my pockets as I join our US friends this thanksgiving !

 

Since I was happy to see a run of some Trapper patterns this year , I will carry the Mesquite 23 and the Ironwood 74 tomorrow .

Reminds me of mashed potatoes.

 

74 Mustang will be on Thanksgiving duty tomorrow and Christmas light duty. I’ll post pictures tomorrow! Happy thanksgiving everyone!

 

The 1st Thanksgiving was celebrated by Wampanoag (Native Americans) and Pilgrims (recently arrived Europeans) and was followed by 50 years of peace so this might be a suitable combo for the occasion. They seem to compliment each other well.

 

I've been struggling to decide what to drop in my pocket tomorrow, going down to my parents for dinner.

The Douk Douk is my daily driver, I feel kind of weird without it in my pocket. I haven't really taken the BF2020 knife for a spin yet, so it's in the running, but I also really like my Schatt and Morgan gunstock, the mother of pearl shield definitely brings a touch of class to the occasion.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

 

Easy "Solution": Carry all three.

 

I put it to a vote, my girlfriend and daughter both chose the gunstock, my son incidentally chose the carry everything approach... Looks like I'll have the S&M tomorrow, and the viper swayback will be waiting a bit longer. Can't argue with the ladies in the house. Especially my daughter... She thinks she runs the show now that we're toilet training.

 

Laguiole Honoré Durand.
(Will use a Buck 121 to carve the turkey, though.)
Happy Thanksgiving!
