I gave my last one away to a friend I was trying to introduce to traditional knives. His wife loves it and always asks him to carry it instead of his usual big moderns. I have a new one on my "wish list" on the Big River site, I just need to pull the trigger on it.
Wonderful selection John and also my favorite blades.All my absolute favorites...
Lovely knives Vince and a great post.A year ago I had maybe half a dozen knives, and I used to carry one smallish knife for years at a time. Then I got "the sickness." I have between 20 and 30 knives now. Some I never carry--they may have sentimental value, or be a souvenir. Some I like a lot and carry occasionally. Here is a pile I generally have on my nightstand:
These are the knives I carry all the time. Two stag, two wood, and two bone. I often carry the trapper on a belt sheath, and one of the others in my left front pocket. The one at the top is a polished stag navaja from @ArtesaniaHerreros in Albacete, Spain. The next two are lambsfoots (desert ironwood and Sambar stag) from A. Wright & Son in Sheffield, England, obtained through @Jack Black. Then a GEC ebony #15 Huckleberry Boys Knife, a generous gift from @r redden. The last two are amber bone SS knives from Case bought at local farm and ranch or hardware stores.
A big step up from the small pen knives and lockbacks I used to carry. I am sure the pile will change from time to time. I expect that the 2019 Forum Knife will get a lot of pocket time. But this is my "pile" for now.
Incredible Cal. Who is the maker of the auto in butter and molasses in the 5th pic?
They excel at opening packages.
Impressive, interesting and has to take the gold for "largest pile" posted it this thread. Thanks, very enjoyable viewing your celluloid pile.
Now that’s a good pile
Love it Justin! Thanks for sharing.Wanted to capture my pile in it's glory before I get told to clean it up.
Yep
Isn't that like sticking an open blade in your pocket?Lookin’ for a new knife for the key ring. This Damascus David Winston key Knife looks just about right.
