While I don't take a photo of them every day, there is a Schrade on my belt. Either a LB7 or a fixed blade, has been since this past summerWhy not make every day a schrade day!

Thanks Dean. It really is exceptional. The second Solingen knife I've found with this jigging. This one has a faint etch on the main blade (John Deere Works).

Here's my 14 in its non-glowing state. I still like it like this, but I can't wait until the sun goes down.
What a unique and attractive knife!
Good old knife, Harry. A real treasure there.
Just this one for me today!
That one should be sufficient, Ron.
Ulster Knife Co. Jack today
That's a cracker jack, Steve.
I have several Parker Frosts, but not one like that that. A real thoroughbred.
Nice, José.
A perfect pocket knife picture.
Well, that's one that you don't see everyday. Very cool.
Nice shot of an honest knife. The background look pretty ducky, too.
Well done, sir.
Quite a captivating canoe in the cattails.
Kabar/CSC dog's head stockman. Found it collecting dust on a dealer shelf earlier this year
Classic cutlery.
A very fine swell center serpentine pen, Nick. Again with the tip bolsters!

It definitely caught my eye right away when I saw it on the bay, $17 and a week later now it's mine.
I think I've seen the brass bolster Imperial or Craftsman branded version pop up once or twice in this thread over the past few years but certainly not often and never the backpacker that I can recall.
I really love the thin and slim ffg trailing point blade, it would probably make a great folding bird and trout.

Sometimes I need more than a pocket knife! I made this veggie chopper out of an old carbon steel mower blade.

Great mini trap.I've got a new one to ride with the Camillus today. This is a Case Mini Trapper in Stag Bone and stainless steel. I bought a couple of new Case knives in Tru-Sharp for the upcoming summer months, when I typically have massive rust issues. The Camillus hopefully won't be a problem, as I'll be using it and maintaining it every day. But I need a couple of other knives for the nightstand, that I won't have to worry about so much.
I honestly haven't been able to buy a bad Case knife lately. This Mini-Trapper is as sweet as the others I've recently tried. No spring gaps. Well centered blades. Pulls of between 4 and 5 with decent snap. Nice thin grinds of .018" to .020", with a wharncliffe that isn't too fragile at the tip. Not a hint of blade wobble. Best of all, the bone on this knife is wonderful. Good jigging and subtle coloring on bone that swells nicely at the center. The scales are much thicker than yellow Delrin or the usual Case jigged bone, and both covers match well in style and thickness. This bone stag gives you an amazing grip on a comparatively small folder. I really can't think of a bad thing to say about my Mini-Trapper. It's very nicely made, and the compliment of blades is extremely functional.
I have two case minis but with caplifters instead of wharncliffes. I agree, they are great little knives. F&F and blade centering is spot on
Thanks Stuart... The sheepfoot is certainly different. I really liked that scimitar shape, which is why I picked it up. It's a Bulldog from 1995 and has celluloid scales (that haven't exploded yetWhat a unique and attractive knife!

I really like how the natural micarta darkens. Mine isn't that dark yet.
43 Oregon Trapper and Vic Cadet. The Cadet is always in my pocket with whatever else I'm carrying.

Thank you.
Another fine pair! I like the way white bone mellows to an old ivory.Had the white pair in pocket today
The 78 actually is actually starting to get a bit yellow by now
That bone jigging is fantastic.I'm totin' a tiny pair for this Twosday, but they pack a lot into 2.75". Both have swedged clips with long pulls, and solid construction. A John Primble (Böker built) 5390 stockman from 1940-1968 and a Schrade Walden 34OT stockman from 1946-1973.
I recently discovered the Primble in a box with some others, but had to find him a friend of his own size to travel with in a pocket.

Lamplough Cutlery is a new one to me. Very nice.
Fantastic. It looks very useful.Sometimes I need more than a pocket knife! I made this veggie chopper out of an old carbon steel mower blade.
Not real pretty, but it’s mine
I switched things up with an odd pairing today. A Boker Anso design, and a Wright & Son Sheffield Peach Pruner, a gift from Jack Black.

Thank you. I haven't been able to find out much. Lamplough Cutlery Ltd is in Montreal. Very little else so far.
I love the peach pruner Jack gave you. I assume it's horn? It's so translucent!

No matter how many times you post it, I like to see this knife.
