Carried this one today.
That's a sweet 85, Barrett: bone color and jigging are very appealing, as is the shield!...

Fascinating pair, Stuart; the Munster illustrates that "great things come in small packages", and IIRC the Case barlow has the intriguing mismatched covers, right?The mini Munster in my pocket, again. Sheepfoot, pen, punch, wood/metal file, and corkscrew all in 2.75".

I like the contrasting colors almost as much as the matching covers you've displayed recently, Dylan!Thank you, GT! Very nice assortment yourself on this fine weekend.

I have a contrasting pair today.

Still an overwhelming knife, Rob!
Good to see your congress again, Gary!
I agree, Jake; excellent pair!I haven’t carried this black pioneer for quite some time. It languished in my truck console for months. That is until this beautiful ebony TC found its way to me. They make an excellent pair in my humble opinion.

Particularly pretty pen pair, Stuart!Too cold to stay outside very long (just a dog's walk), so I'm totin' these two around the house today. A C.F. Kayser (Solingen) equal end pen (3 1/2") from 1879-1961 (?} and a Queen model 4 sleeveboard pen (3 5/16") from 1976.

Two fantastic choices, Jack!Regarding lost quotes, sometimes if I quote posts as I'm reading them, but don't get a chance to reply to the quoted messages for a while (sometime between more than a day and less than a week), when I finally do try to insert the quotes, they'll be gone.
Another classic, Andi!

I agree, Jake; excellent pair!Black Pioneer was the first Alox I bought, and still a favorite!
Gotta give MAMmy what she wants!!(I admire the clean, orderly, well-lit state of your workbench, FBC!
)

Thanks GT! I like that Canoe you’re toting today.JTB_5 , that's a captivating red Böker Barlow!
That's a sweet 85, Barrett: bone color and jigging are very appealing, as is the shield!Single blade, or is there a secondary hiding behind that spear?

For some reason I like owning two from the same maker, in the unlikely event one would get lost.

Totally agree on the dandiness of the chestnut jigged bone CV sowbelly stockman, Ron!Gary thanks for all the compliments my friend!That Sowbelly is a dandy if I do say so myself!
This is the way my carry knife for today started out. I used it to chop up the ingredients for our morning omelet!Well, everything but the eggs!
