Embarrassed to admit I haven't posted in this thread for more than 2 months, and I haven't even read many posts here in that time.
I miss seeing all the fine knives everyone posts here daily; even when I see knives here that I have little interest in for myself, I enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of the poster for whatever the knife is.
So I'm going to try to make this thread part of my daily routine again, as it was before I went into hibernation. I won't try to pretend that I can catch up on a couple months worth of daily posts, but here are some posts from the first few days of May that caught my attention.
Morning folks, hope everyone has a great May Day

I decided to add my Vendetta by Jose Antonio Herreros

Admirable wood/bone/horn trio, Dread Pirate Jack!
Big-league brace of knives with pleasurable patina,

These two for me today, hoping for a speedy recovery for our friend Charlie.
Classy couple of cutting tools, Tom!
I'm totin' Slicey and Dicey today.

Dandy duo of imports, Stuart!

I bought this 1 retail back in the early 90's, long before I discovered the web for such things
.
I used heaps but it still works good.

Exemplary old lockback, sir!
Happy Thursday All
Flawless foto of your first-rate lambsfoot, John!
Grand and golden-brown goodness, Steve!

Sorry to be so brief, friends, but I'm off for a few days of fishing (and getting further behind on this thread).

Have fun, Stuart, and I hope you do some catching, as well!
I don't pocket the Ancient often. Was thinking of our friend this morning and it seemed like the thing to do.
I will have to agree with that
Handsome, high-class Ancients, Gary & Tim; I heartily agree with your sentiments!
That one far left would really need a close up
Intriguing trio, David, and I agree with JP about that jigged bone knife on the left!
...Here ya go! These my best glamour shots, taken just as the sun was setting behind me. Challenge Cut Co.
Edit: been carrying this one because Charlie liked it so when I first posted it. He provided some great info, for at the time I didn't even know harness jacks existed. This was the first I'd seen. So been in my pocket for Charlie
Thanks for the follow-up, David!!
On a hike today when we came across this very old accident in the woods. It seemed apropos to include one of Charlie's Ancient Barlows in a photo with the old jalopy (as well as an Orchard Gem).
...
Jaw-dropping jalopy pics, Dean, including a joyous pair of knives!
I'm always amazed at how skinny the old steering wheels look once their "coating" comes off!
Thanks, Duckdog. r8shell's Home for Old and Wayward Knives is doing what it can for these old guys.
Today's centenarian is a Terrier, with perhaps the coolest tang stamp of all time.
...
Elderly and enthralling, Rachel!
In honor of Charlie...
Charlie helped me identify the model number for this knife, and he dubbed it the Half Stockman. I always think about Charlie when I look at this knife, and I think about his humor and how he has helped so many of us. Today I will carry this knife in his honor and send him all the good wishes I can muster. Get well soon Charlie.

I’m mixing my carries today with a #79 Workhorse Whittler in Ebony and #14 TC with Smooth Ivory Bone.
Kudos on that knockout pair, Ron!
Just picked up a Vic Electrician today, with TC for black Friday.
Congrats on the Electrician,
@Jak3; a laudable, likable knife!
...
Something for Black Friday, and my Pioneer X. I don’t photograph the pioneer very often anymore, because it is almost always within reach. It is
almost a permanent part of my rotation, whether in my pocket, or a bag, or a desk drawer at work.
Your brilliant blue Pioneer X is magnificent and memorable, Tom!
Another TC today.
Noteworthy shot of your noble Ancient, Dean!
Really like all the details of my new #33 Conductor
Congrats on that outstanding Conductor!
Finally have a chance to work outside some today as well as dry enough to mow some tall grass . Carrying both of these old Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoots and then out for Friday Fish Fry .
...
So I guess this has been a Two TEWs Friday this week .
Harry
Your two TEWs to use are terrific, Harry!

In honor of A. G. Russell III
