SAK of the Week is a Tinker. This is the first genuine Swiss Army Knife I ever bought, in 2014; the Tinker and an SDClassic were sold in an online package deal for $19.99 (IIRC, by Menard's).

Stockman of the Week is a Rough Rider stag sowbelly stockman (a Top Ten stockman for me):

It can't be quite like that!!! Thanks, Gary.👍
Thanks for the kind words, José, but if I were a knife posted on Blade Forums, people would look at how beat up and worn I'm looking these days and say, "He's got a LOT of character!" 😁

Next year, when it's time to revamp your rotation schedule to accomodate your ever growing collection, you should give Schrade (including Schrade, Schrade Cut Co, and Schrade Walden 🇺🇸) their own category befitting their status.

Jeff, I've been waiting quite a while for you to "take me to task" for lumping Colonials, Imperials, and Schrades into the same category. o_O:rolleyes: Being quite inexperienced with knives other than my Forest-Master until about 11 years ago, all 3 companies represent, for me, old US cutlery companies that have fallen on hard times. I don't have many examples of any of them, and the majority of the Imperials and Schrades I have originated in China. To have enough knives to "deserve" a category of their own, I decided to combine them.

Nice Gary.
May I ask sir how your Mam is in fit and finish?
Thanks, Bob. :)
The MAM sheepsfoot is a friction folder that's easy to open and close, and stays open just fine while being used. Even though it opens easily, I've never had it flop open on its own in my pocket (although I keep telling myself that I ought to carry friction folders in a pocket slip, just to be safe).

It is harvesting time out here and I am using my GEC Northfield Weaver Jack

Nice stag, and welcome back! :thumbsup:🤓:thumbsup:
I don't recall seeing a post from you in quite a while, but I always admired you for starting the Stag Saturday thread which is still going strong. :cool::cool::thumbsup: I think you're also the guy who used to modify TL-29s into whittling knives with a locking blade :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:, and I always thought that was an inspired idea (never thought I had the skills to try doing one myself though :rolleyes:)

...

I’ve had these two in my pocket most of the week, Cosimo Lunar Lamb and the Riverbottom Richlite #81. The wife’s been traveling for work, so it’s just been me and the two hooligans — no time to change knives! 🤣

So, let me start by saying, my wife is 100% of Irish descent.
Some years after my wife's mother died, her father married his wife's cousin, Patty. Patty's brother is Bill. That made Bill, who is 92 and happens to live near us, both my wife's 2nd cousin once removed (I think), and her step uncle. We call him "Uncle Bill". At 92, Bill is still a caution, and any conversation with him is likely to be lengthy and delve into many topics spanning many decades, even if the beginning topic is his next project for his house.

I said all that to say that Bill's wife's ashes were interred today. We didn't know her extremely well, but we knew her enough to know she was a very nice lady, who was much loved by her church group. I carried a Case mini-Wharncliffe copperhead.

Yesterdays Bunny adventures at Upton house (like being back in old England,very relaxing) and the motoring cafe (loud,reving,look at me I am rich). 🤣


Me I dont care. 😁



Stopped at an honesty table on the way back and met the friendly old farmer who runs it.

He won best in show with this marrow,it was only £2 he kept telling me to strap it on th back of my seat.

A great charater we had a laugh. 🤭

Thanks for the response Gary.

I guess my Camillus is a top ten for me.

Then when I got home I had to mow and carried the Case full sized Wharncliffe trapper which is 4 & 1/8 " long and then the NKCA 1980 knife showed up right on time and after the rain . This is the best I can do for photos for now .

The new knife is a Kissing Crane . Some call it a Stockman and some call it a Gunstock . It has a Pen Blade where a Spey Blade would normally be for a Stockman . I will call it a Revers Gunstock Stockman LOL .
