Yeah, I wasnt sure I would like not having a real main blade, as I normally like a stockman pattern, but I was wrong. The congress is cool!

Those schrades are really something else!! Wow!Finally slogged through all the posts since I left last Friday, There have been some incredible knives, scenery, and stories posted!! I was lucky to be able to click "LIKE" as much as I did without a cramp. Today, I'm totin' twin Schrade Walden 2OTs for a two-fer on Twos-day. I'll be indoors most of the day (rain in our future here) and they'll ride in separate pockets. The Case 6207 will handle any cutting duties.

To have two of the 2OT’s in that condition is really something! The 6207 is special also. One of my favorites before Case added the Spey, changed the Clip and called it a Mini Trapper. Thank you for sharing these beauties today! On a side note, how was the fishing trip? Yeah, I wasnt sure I would like not having a real main blade, as I normally like a stockman pattern, but I was wrong. The congress is cool!
You can find a congress with plenty of blades, including a main, if you keep looking:
Or too many blades!! I find that a 2 blade medium (3.5") half congress rides very well in my pants pockets.

Thanks, Ron. I have two of the dogleg jack 6207's, including the one shown, from 1940-1964 and 1965-1969 and both redbone. The conversion to the mini trapper happened in 1979 and I have one of those from 2011 in a light tan (?) bone. The fishing trip was a nice boat ride. A cold front came through and shut off the bite (lots of cussing and grousing on the marine radio from the boats that went out). Oh, well. Next week . . .

My newest: It doesn't have as lively figuring as some I've seen, but I'm amazed by how matched the sides are. Were they split from the same piece of wood?
It looks dark and somber indoors, but really pops in bright sunlight.

This one tends to work it way into my pocket more often than not.

Why not, that's a handsome knife.
I like both the somber and the bright; it's just really good looking.

How do I fall so far behind?? I guess Monday is a "death march" lately. 
I'd better leave out some of the posts I originally quoted so I can get to bed on time!

W, those are precious heirlooms you've got there, @kfalk ; congratulations!!
Are you still as taken with the sowbelly as the day you got it?
Pearl is a persuasive personality!
That "Big Red" lambsfoot is striking!
I'm still a little concerned that a superb sowbelly was sacrificed for your inventive creation , but there's no doubting the uniqueness of what you dreamed up in that Beerbelly!
Sorry to read that the fishing was less than ideal from a catching perspective.
Looking forward to seeing your remaining two new arrivals!
What a looker!
Alox for me this week is a Classic (thanks, Ken):

featuring her scrimshaw skills! Thanks for the French knife info, Jer.
(A heart wounded with "desolate languor" is serious! Who's the babe?? )'Tis an embarrassment of riches.
WThanks GT.
Yeah correct it’s a Muscrat and second blade is Spey - it was my Grandpa’s.
The Scout whittler was my first knife. Bought for me in ‘69-‘70 when I was around 5-6. Pretty young for a knife these days.
On second thought it was pretty young for one backe then too.
W, those are precious heirlooms you've got there, @kfalk ; congratulations!! Luminous lambsfoot, Mike!
That IS a hard question, Dean. I probably use the Minichamp the most - scissors, wharncliffe blade, ink pen, nail file - although the knife doesn't really have any special memories attached to it. The lambsfoot was a surprise gift from @mrknife and has the Guardians association; it's used quite frequently these days (but I'm thinking of switching it for a rosewood lambsfoot that my wife and daughter got me in York a year ago that I enjoy using more and has the family connection). The SBjr came from a BigBiscuit GAW before his first surgery when he had the GAW to ask for prayers, and I've been using it as kind of a prayer reminder or "rosary" or something ever since. But the scrimshawed Rough Rider small stockman may be my favorite, although I rarely actually use it; it represents an attempt to integrate my vocation and my avocation, and I strive to bring together aspects of my life that way!...
Thanks for the kind comments, Gary. Always good to see your EDC quartet! Here's a hard question: which one is your favorite?
Nice "Porch" embroidery!!
Are you still as taken with the sowbelly as the day you got it? Congrats, @Vaporstang ; very attractive yeller stockman!I sponsored Pearl a while back and liked her so much I acquired a Case medium stockman: in my pocket tonight and will carry tomorrow.
Pearl is a persuasive personality! A pair of fine fotos of your knives, Jack!
That "Big Red" lambsfoot is striking! Riveting, Ron!...
Promising pair, Jeff!Still with my pair, Beerbelly and Cadet.
I'm still a little concerned that a superb sowbelly was sacrificed for your inventive creation , but there's no doubting the uniqueness of what you dreamed up in that Beerbelly! Are those horn handles on both Queens, Stuart? Delightful dark duo!Been gone since Friday. Boy, do I have some catching up to do!!! I have these two with me today, a couple of the youngest Queens that I own: model 38B stockman (1976) and model 70 Country Cousin (1978).

I came back from Texas to find three new knives (which I’ll be showing over the next few days) and, thankfully, springtime here in northern Idaho.
We’re saving the best for first, my new Lick Creek Boy’s Knife dressed up in ebony.

Looking forward to seeing your remaining two new arrivals!Impressive glamour shot, @cigarrodog !!
That's a splendid vintage knife, @mitch4ging !!An I*XL today...
Holy Cow, Dean!!...
Today's knife is a Standard natural bone Senator that Case calls an Eisenhower.
