Thanks for the compliment Jack! Your Haywood has stood the test of time. It’s just a beautiful old knife. One that can be appreciated on its own merits, even if it’s not a Lambsfoot.
Thanks for the pics! THAT’S a knife.
If neeps are turnips, can I have beets and taters instead?
Ok, why DID the haggis cross the road???
ah ha! there's the answer! thanks, JackSadly, the haggis never made it across the road, he got kilt on the way
Handsome chestnut bone on those! And that Forest-Master looks in great shape for its age!Very appealing spear/sheep Barlow, Buzz!
I'll certainly cast an absentee ballot for that BF Stag Jack, Ron!
Captivating photos for a flatlander like me, 315 !
I almost always prefer 2 blades to 1, but the covers on both knives are very distinctive! Someday, I'll catch some courage and try to put an EO notch on mine.
Thanks, Lance.
Thanks for the support, Jack. Your AC Lambsfoot and ebony Boys' Knife are an enjoyable duo!
Picture perfect!!
Churchill claimed that, "Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."
Very sorry to hear about the far less than ideal result of your repair attempt. Were you removing steel from the tang or from the spring? If the tang, might it be possible to find a different blade to put into that excellent stag handle?
That's a hearty pair of knives! I haven't bisected any croissants recently, but I bisected an angle not long ago; my experience was less tasty than yours, I'd wager.
Thanks, Dwight. Your Kabar Barlow and stag 110 are both most impressive!
Thanks for the info, John; amazing the joy that knives with some sentimental connection can bring! And thanks for the GEC 72 remark; that's a third of my GEC holdings!
Keen Colonial Barlow, Spaten ! I like the bolster stamp for the same reason I like scouts with a can opener that has "can opener" stamped on it: as I get older appreciate the reminders of what I'm looking at!
Glad to see that glittering heirloom, Rachel , but sad (and angry) about the situation that motivated your choice!
Congrats on the lovely new #14, Ratbert !
Maybe I'm amazed by the bone that knife is wearing!!
Intriguing introspection, Gev!
That flaming-hot 99 could warm a cold winter night, Dave!
Excellent plan, Lance! Please put me down for a bowl of each!
That's a high-class pair, Tom! Thanks for the props for my knives. I revived my old 3-strand braiding skills developed in the Calvinist Cadet Corp to make that lanyard from a leather boot lace. I often attach a carabiner or a Nite-Eze S-clip to the "free end" and clip it to a belt loop.
What IS that creature trying to ingest your classy Calf Roper, Ken??
My carries this week happen to include quite a few gift knives.
Alox of the Week is a Vic Classic (thanks, Ken):
non-Alox SAK of the Week is a modified Vic Recruit (thanks, Greg):
Bailed non-SAK this week is my Colonial Forest-Master, my first ever knife that either my parents gave me or a classmate gave me at a birthday party about 1960:
Stockman of the Week is a Case CV chestnut jigged bone sowbelly (thanks, Ron), pictured with a Case chestnut bone Sodbuster Jr that I carry every day:

Great stag on that one!
This was in my pocket

That tube steak didn’t stand a chance, Jeff! Nice Queen!This (glad I had the D2 advantage today, as I had to cut a hotdog in half at Costco!)
Today I added my Mountain Man in curly zebrawood to the stag Churchill for my large carry.

Plus these
I see a lot more Kamp Kings than Forest Masters. A Kamp King, I could send you one.Looks like my first knife (received 1968-1970). Wish I still had it! Don't know why I can't get another one. My baseball-themed Victorinox Tinker can perform the same functions--and more--in the meantime.
Nice patina there!
It's rainy day, so I'm rehersing a bit for the lectures tomorrow. With some nice knive company of course.

Really enjoying all your carry pick pics.
A patriot and a pioneer X today.

They sure do put 'em together well.Seems to be a good Monday to carry some fine Swiss craftsmanship

Batoning is serious business.
Füllhalter? It looks like a little shading there.
Nice use of an opinel to cut a pumpkin pi!View attachment 1011890 The Opinel came in handy when I could find the carving knife
