Thanks, Jack.Good to see you Kevin
Thank you, sir.Some great classics.
I will give it a try but can't promise anything.Alright, since you posted those fine pictures Kevin, but if it happens again...
For me today, a very pocketable pruner. 2015 smooth Camel bone 47 aging nicely, as it was stark white when it first arrived, some color is starting to set in
Dang it, I still need to try out one of those Mercator knives, I just keep forgetting to grab one.I was going through some of my collections yesterday and refound a couple of my early purchases.

I don't see why the couldn't ! Is that a Robeson stockman? or should it be "fishman" Great looking knife !!Grabbed this going out the door this morning. Why can't GEC (or somebody) offer a blade like this any more?
Kevin, they now make them in Brass and Copper as well, also with either a Walnut or Oak finish.Dang it, I still need to try out one of those Mercator knives, I just keep forgetting to grab one.
Between your and Gary's 5K Qs posts. I will remember one day.
Majestic mammoth, Dee!
Ditto, Ken!! What a prestigious Presidential!
What a classic jack knife, Senhor Pinto!Today I gave the privilege of walking in my pocket to this GEC 15 in the Rust Jigged Bone of 2014...
Very cool, Greg! It suggests a whole new category of projects I hadn't considered: mini furniture!It doesn’t usually sit on a pedestal, but just this once....
Iconic jackknife!...
Case jack for me today.
Good old AB & JA from JB!Carrying a couple of oldies today, by Alfred Blackwell and Joseph Allen
This looks interesting! Another of your rehab projects, Rachel?
Mesmerizing handles, Gary!Nice knives and pictures today!
Pairing a Terry Primos Platypus (curly maple and forged 1084) with my Lloyd today.... The outdoor lighting shows the true color of the curly maple.
Welcome back, FBC. That's a heavenly half-dozen! If we're required to rank them, I'll put the SBJr and the sowbelly as 1 and 1A!I apologize for my lack of posts lately. Here's what I have been totin' for the last few days.
...
Nick & Ron, those are a couple of outstanding Cases!Thank you Gev! The redbone is a 06247 PEN from 1974. Two blades a single spring and that delicious redbone. What’s not to like!!!
Cool thematic pic, Ken!
Thanks for the follow-up, Alan.5K Qs The stag talon with damascus was one of the first Lloyd's I acquired. I carry it to show off because it's so nice but the blade shape is not my favorite.
You'd better keep the Mrs.!! Thanks for the stockman remarks.Thanks, Gary! It was an anniversary gift from the Mrs. a couple of years back.
...
Nice pairing. I like the slender clip points!
Bewitching brown pair, Tom!I am impossibly behind on this thread and my likes after an extended weekend, the thread moves way too fast . I have these two with me today.
I like those foreign imports, Dave!I was going through some of my collections yesterday and refound a couple of my early purchases.

Thank you, Gary! Both your posted knives are top drawer and the 897UH is a favorite of mine ; however, I am very impressed with that RR in stag!
...
Thanks for the good word, Dean. Splendid Böker Barlow; the jigged bone covers seem less common than sawcut ones!
Got some good mileage on that one!
Superb jack, Steve!Four line Camillus Jack
I like how you roll, @Napalmsloth !Canoes and Butterbeans are how I roll.
Sounds like an excellent time!The families first Christmas movie night. The Santa Clause playing. Ryu in my pajama pocket. Carried it at work today also. A couole minor swirls showed up on the bolster lately I notice.

Good wood, Jack, both Big 'un and Plow!...
All wood for me today Hope everyone is having a good week
Stunning knife, Will!Despite the fact that it's a day shrouded by freezing fog...I wish I could go out for a walk but instead, cooped up at work Still, it's healthy to dream and I would take this old companion with me, GEC from 08.
...
I've enjoyed your recent knife and feather series, sir!
I hope we see more of it ! Love that main profileIt's a Stockman. I love the sunk joints, thin blades, and low profile. This is what I judge others of this pattern against. And most come up short...
Thanks Gary!Nick & Ron, those are a couple of outstanding Cases!
Thanks, Gary, after seeing the Canoes, makes me wish I hadn't given away some 40 or more at my wife's family reunion.I like those foreign imports, Dave!
Great pic Greg
Very cool, Greg! It suggests a whole new category of projects I hadn't considered: mini furniture!
Sunny, indeed! I like it. Is that an older knife, or current production?Sun Kissed
That smooth bone jack is my second favorite of your rehabbed knives, next to the old Union Knifeworks moose.A little Snakewood for wooden Wednesday. It’s cold and crisp out today the day before the storm so I figured I’d take out a couple of favorites. On the bottom, custom Ray Cover Sr. Drop Point with ATS34 blade, stainless hardware, with dovetailed Snakewood Scales. (This is one of my favorite slipjoints, factory or custom and one of my top 5 knives all around.)
Top knife is a 100 y/o Graeff & Schmidt smoothbone Jack Knife I rescued from the scrap pile.
Yep! Just an old Camillus Camper with new bocote wood covers.This looks interesting! Another of your rehab projects, Rachel?
These two today, happy Wednesday .
Good old AB & JA from JB!

Plain canoe this week for me is a Rough Rider in gunstock checkered bone (thanks, Will):
Fancy canoe is a Buck stag:
- GT
Totin' these two today!
Thanks Jack and GT. It was just a fun little diversion to see if I could carve a column with a quarter twist. I figured it might as well be put to occasional service.
That's a good question and I don't know. The quality suggests older but the tang stamp does not. I've looked for another and would buy it right now ! Nothing found ????Sunny, indeed! I like it. Is that an older knife, or current production?
