We are continuing to have mixed showers and downpours, so when I go out of the house today I will be wearing boots, rubber or waterproofed leather. Make sense to tote a boot knife inside my boot and shielded by my pant leg: a Gerber Mark 1 combat dagger in L6 tool steel with Armorhide coated aluminum handle (Metallic Monday??). Also, in my pocket, a Camillus USMC Engineer's Knife with more tools than I'll need today.
It is hard to see in this picture, thankfully, that the the bottom pile-side bolster of the Engineer is corroded black, the only real blemish on a handsome old worker.

Outstanding choice of pocket knife!!!!
Slowly catching up, a bit at a time.
Thanks, Tom. You set a good example with your posts.
That's a beauty, Nick, and you've been posting some fine ones.
That's a sharp looking trio, Dave, but what really caught my eye: a 24' run!! You've got some work cut out for you, pal.
I'm getting fond of the full-bodied little fellow, Jack. Very cool!
A sailor's knife with teak covers - very fitting. Nice knife.
Wow!! And goodbye. that's a fine one and a nice gesture.
That Case is superb, Ron, and a fine pairing.
The canoe is a real showboat, GT, and the pen is alluring - and that's no bull.
Thanks, Tom, and so do I.
Classic pair there, OH.
And a classy classic with you, Dwight.

Fantastic fixed blades

Eventually I get to install these two
2-3/4"x16"x24' lvl beams to eliminate a load bearing wall. The knives are helping, so far the Boker sharpened my pencil

Thanks Tom, I'd carry a fixed-blade every day (as I did in the past) if our knife laws hadn't got so stupidGot some work to do out in the garden this evening, so I'm carrying this Mini-Skrama

I’m late posting today. I took my younger brother and we did some errands today. I’ve had these two in my pocket. A Case 06247Pen from 1974 and a wee Sambar Lambsfoot! Hope everyone has a great day!

I am enjoying your fixed blade phase Stuart, and hoping it lasts a long time

Totin a big'n today (Thanks Barrett).
And a classy classic with you, Dwight.

Carrying two knives from a lot I got off eBay.
The little Utica Kutmaster is a cool pattern, I wanna call it a dogleg stockman but I have no clue what they called it.

Thank you Stuart. The bone on your Camillus is sweet!
We’re in the middle of a weekend of rain.
I feel your rain pain, Ron, and understand the need to use old photos in a pinch. Nice duo, too.
That pair sways me.
Old #51 today
Old, but sturdy, Steve. I hope to be that way.
I wish that my stag Weidmannshell was half as nice as yours.
That's a beaut, Harvey.
Great composition in that photo, Gev. I was transfixed.
7 dot Canoe,6 dot baby Copperhead, both great walk'n'talk, Canoe especially snappy. Both single springs, and excellent fit. The canoe I can see between the blades,but a piece of standard paper won't fit. Of course it rubs a little opening,but with fitment this tight its unavoidable. I'm not knocking current Case, but the quality of these old ones is astounding. Hard to believe these are a mass produced factory knife.
An absolutely fabulous pair, David. You done good, bud. You are right about the old Cases.

Not much gets by you, Sir
I would expect nothing less from someone with a user name like yours
which is very clever, by the way Katz stockman today, probably tomorrow, too
Thank you, it's a lotta fun
