Laudable looker, Vince!

Something old and something new today. My old Vic Pioneer once again, along with a brand spanking new Case bone stag Tribal Lock. The Tribal Lock is a bit of a conundrum for me. I love the knife. It’s spectacular. Crazy wonderful bone. But the blade shape and size is close enough to a standard scout pattern that they don’t pair particularly well.

But no matter how you look at it, the Tribal is an amazing knife. Perfect fit and finish on mine. I was lucky enough to be able to sort of hand pick the bone in this one.

...

Both knives are magnificent, Buzz!

...
I'm totin' two oddities today for the fun of it: a Maxam Classic hunter and a George Schrade wire handle jack. ...

Hi Stuart, I've never seen a Schrade wire jack in new condition or that pattern. Yours looks like mine after it was caught in a vise.View attachment 1128311

Those wire handle Schrades are nifty and notable, Stuart & Alan!

...
I'm carrying these two today, my SamDamLamb, and a Stag Bone Case Barlow Randy @r redden sent me recently Hope everyone is having a good day
...

Ornate duo, Jack! I like the term "SamDamLamb"!

My wife and I were on a mini vacation over a long weekend. This one was with me every day and again today.

Peerless teardrop, Dean! (You should get a bonestag Tribal Lock to go with it! )

I’m carrying these two today. One of my 2018 Forum knives and my Wright’s large Rosewood Lambsfoot. ...

Quality pair, Ron!

That was a lovely lot that you posted, GT, but those two caught my eye.

- Stuart

Appreciate your "comment posts" about everyone's daily carries, Stuart! Thanks for noticing my Vic Electrician and Case redbone canoe.

Thank you.
I'm carrying a smooth bone Rough Rider Barlow today, trying to decide if/what to scrimshaw.

I'm sure the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus would be a popular and meaningful scrimshaw choice!

Thank you Stuart.

Mail from Spain has arrived. My latest navaja by ArtesaniaHerrero.

Congrats on the sublime custom navaja, Don!!

That red alox is bright enough to light up the darkest night.

Thanks, John. I already professed my enjoyment of Case chestnut jigged bone, and Vic Alox of any color is another addiction of mine (sometimes called "Alox Pox").

Thanks Jack!

I’m carrying these two today! Hope y’all have a great day!

I think that's a great pairing Ron

Thank you Jack! A lovely old TEW my friend!

Thanks mate

It's hard to keep my African Rosewood Lambsfoot out of my pocket, so why fight it

Why indeed!

Here's my contribution today:

Great stuff Joshua, awesome custom

Joshua that horn is a knock-out!

Thanks Dwight, great pic

Thank you Jack! Nice old TEW and cool photo! Is that TEW new to you, I don’t remember seeing it.

Thanks a lot Nick, I have had that one a few years, but haven't carried it in a while

Jack Black A fine TEW, I must say.

Donuts...I love em.

Thanks Harvey, I love that pic

2 from Sheffield today! Just found the sharks tooth in the driveway where we're working.

Those two look good together David Nice find too

Wooden Wednesday.

I always enjoy seeing that knife Dean I have a SHOT show model in ebony, but only rarely carry it

Wooden Wednesday carry.

Smashing!

Good golly, it is a struggle for me to keep up with this thread, even just to offer simple thank-yous, much less to laud the fine knives being posted.

GT, I agree with Harry (@Old Engineer) and Vince (@Prester John) that a folding hunter is a desirable addition, but not essential, unless you ARE A HUNTER or need one to complete a collection theme. Personally, I like the size and functionality of a large folding hunter, and I have many because I like and use them. That Case 6265 is 5 1/4" closed, 9 1/4" OAL. I have larger. They are great workers and easy to hold securely. Here's some:

I know what you mean Stuart Awesome knives there my friend

Thanks, Jack. Delightful pic of your AC!

Ron, I like California clips and spey blades, but I agree with you. Case should have made both variations, as they are great knives. Thanks for the kind words.

Stuart that’s a wonderful display of oldies my friend! It’s a great photo, but I think they look better in person!

Quality pair, Ron!

Thanks Gary!

Today I’m totin a Tidioute #47 Viper with Orange Osage and a Wright’s medium Lambsfoot with Pere David Stag.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Keepin on with Camillus ‘n Kabar again.
Kinda plain-jane, with their practical but mundane synthetic scales, but so well made and purpose designed that I get a lot of satisfaction out of pulling one out to cut something.
I hope you all are having a good week!View attachment 1129132

Thanks Jack! The 73 Scout with its drop point blade and the Lambsfoot do make a versatile pair. The Lambsfoot and Charlie’s @waynorth Ancient also make a dandy pairing my friend!

Ron, you’ve got a bunch that I enjoy ogling, but these two knives are special!
Osage is a beautiful, practical and under utilized knife wood, and the battle scarred stag is really cool.

Jeff, thank you for the kind words my friend! I really do like Osage. It’s beautiful in its own way when new and ages gracefully as the knife is handled and used.

 

[JohnDF]

Skoll was a little jealous that I carried the Rosewood yesterday, so Skoll is getting his turn...
I named this knife Skoll after the fabled wolf that chases the sun through the sky. If you look at the pattern in the grain, you can clearly see the image of a wolf in there. Not to mention the wood glows brightly when in the sunlight.

 

[r8shell]

I'm sure the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus would be a popular and meaning fun scrimshaw choice!

Hmm...gonna need a bigger knife.

 

[Pomsbz]

I’ve got a couple of Vic florists with that same textured grip, and find it really inviting in feel. Your use of light really brings out that texture. Nicely done.

Yup,

I have a bunch with Nylon scales. Much prefer them to the regular cellidor.

 

[kamagong]

This one.

 

[FlamingMoe]

Congrats on that eye-catching classic! Plaudits to @stevekolt for his epic generosity!

Yeah definitely! Loving it so far!

I definitely prefer the nylon covers over cellidor. You get a much better grip from nylon, and nylon doesn't show a ton of scratches.


Three for me today. The Case Tribal Lock falls into my pocket once again. Such a tremendous knife. The old red Pioneer, because I can't go a day without some sort of scout in my pocket, and I really love the look of worn red alox.

Then there's this new thing that I picked up off of auction. It's a modified Victorinox Pioneer with a Cerokoted alox frame, hardened steel pivots with screws, and stone washed blades. The camera angle is cleverly hiding one of those gadgets that clips to your pocket. The keyring has been removed. This is the only time I'll be showing it here, as it really breaks too far from it's traditional origins. A very handy knife with excellent workmanship, albeit too tactical looking for my liking.

I never tire of seeing this AG Russel Mohawk Canoe.

José Herreros Classic

 

[Frailer]

Due to a pocket shortage I’m restricted to carrying only my key ring this morning, but the Victorinox Classic will almost certainly handle any knife-y tasks I encounter. If not, the mighty P-38 has its back.

 

[RayseM]

That is knife perfection Dwight. Lovely photo too Where can I get one of those?
