I have the Mini Champ on me for the scissors, when needed.
Only Carbon Steel blade on me now is the Toferner.

Let’s kick off Trapper Tuesday with a couple of Cases. I threw in the SAK to do any knarly work that isn’t predominantly slicey and lacking in a need for hard use. I generally keep a knife on me that I don’t care to put through the paces if needed, regardless of whatever else I’m totin’. These 2 are not that. Have a good Tuesday, Porchsters. IMG_4896.jpeg

Speaking of 40-something, today was our 40th wedding anniversary, and neither my wife nor I remembered until the middle of the afternoon when our daughter sent a congratulatory email. o_O:rolleyes: (When I got up this morning, I noticed it was June 1, and had a feeling that the date was important, but it's too early for Father's Day (6/15) or a sister's birthday (6/14) or a brother's birthday (6/24).)

Happy Anniversary, Gary. Glad you ultimately remembered.

Been a while since I've posted. Life is hectic right now...

Anyway, it's pretty well documented that stockman's are my favorite pattern. Landed a gec cattle knife a while back and got the 2025 forum knife. But, I had been hunting for a 66 for a long time. Finally got one thanks to Viin2 Viin2 . Went straight into the pocket! Only cut an apple so far, but looking forward to carrying this for many years to come!!

Purchased new (I believe retailer won a lottery?) in 2014 upon a career milestone.
My understanding is a favored customer requested a "saddlehorn blade and backpocket frame". I believe they called this a "Saddleback". This one is stamped "0". Ebony.
I'm getting ready to turn 64 years old and when I was young all I saw were "traditional" folding knives.
Wanted it to be a user to really get enjoyment of it, so as soon as I received it I went outside and started whittling, lol.
I know many want(ed) a T Bose folder and keep it pristine due to relative rarity and superb craftsmanship.
I can certainly understand that. But I wanted to really enjoy it for what it was meant to be.
To my eyes, when received it was a close to perfection as anything I've ever seen, held, used from 2 human hands.
Check out YouTube of Mr Bose making one of his knives. Amazing.
Sad thing is I'll enjoy this as long as I'm living. But, I don't have family/friend to pass it down to that will really appreciate it.
Best regards and God bless.

I am glad you are using that TB. I have been trying to do the same thing and use some of my more expensive beautiful knives. As you stated, for what they were made for. Although, I must admit, I haven't been able to push myself over the threshold to use any of my TB/RB knives. Or Ruple's, Or Ryu's, Or Ploppert's, Or --- well GEEZ. I guess I have a long way to go. LOL. Seriously, beautiful knife and so nice to see it in the wild.

Heading over to my shop in a few minutes, gotta do some clean up and organizing. If I can finish that project before the end of the day I'll have some time to play with knives, bows and arrows. Taking this gear along for the day.

That Svoboda is a really nice knife. Looks like a handy size for pocket carry, with great properly cut stag. What is the closed length?
