Versatile pair! How do you like the 110 LT so far?

I like it quite a bit.
It lacks the heft I'm used to with my original 110, but that's okay because it's a nice change of pace for a knife this size to actually work well for pocket carry.

I missed Armed Forces Day (May 18th). Thanks, RDaneel for reminding me (my paternal grandfather, WWI; my father, WWII, Korea, Vietnam; and my stepfather, Korea, are frowning down on me). So I'm totin' this Parker IMAI K-236 double lockback (similar to a Case Texas Lockhorn, designed by Tom Hart) with SPECIAL FORCES etch, in particular honor of my father, who was in the first class of Army Special Forces members at now-closed Flint Kaserne, Bad Tölz, Bavaria, Germany (when they had to buy their own berets).

Thanks, Tom, for your words and deeds.



Kilo-keen edge, Tom! Did you use your new set-up on the scout knife, too?


Here's the quartet I literally EDC along with my rotating schedule of knives:

Thanks GT, your quartet seems to have you prepared for anything. No I haven't used the new system on that particular scout just yet. The previous owner had a ................ unique approach to sharpening. I think I will need to even the main blade out with a file first .

Being that sports fans are a superstitious lot, you’d better keep carrying that trio.

Love the blue Farmer, Tom, and your efforts seem to have paid off in a big way! The Blues have had quite a turn-around this year, right?

- GT

Thanks Alan and GT, yes the Blues were last in the league on January 3rd, and have gone on an epic run. Since clearly my knife pairing is the source of their luck , I’ll be carrying only these 3 until they lose a game.

I love seeing that Jarrett Fleming of yours!

 

[SVTFreak]

Anyone know what differentiates a rescue and a recovery? The items or individuals being retrieved in a rescue are still alive. Al Warren joining me today for a recovery of the wife's car. I can build cars but the hybrid stuff is outta my knowledge range.

Thirst-quenching pic, John!

Thank you, GT.

Another word that is generally misused is "awesome."

I'm guilty of over using that word.

 

[RDaneel]

Stately pair and a fine sentiment, Dean; thanks to all who serve!

That's a prime example of a pattern I've come to appreciate a lot!

- GT

Thank you, Gary!

Monday is the day I usually do my weekly rotation. Today I noticed that my schedule assigned me several knives with bails or keyring attachments.
Alox of the Week is a black Pioneer:

non-Alox SAK of the Week is a Recruit:

Bailed non-SAK of the Week is a Camillus electrician:

International Knife of the Week is a JJ Martinez marinera with ABS covers:

That is a quality quartet to carry, Gary.

That is an excellent pair to commemorate your military heritage, Stuart! My father was also in WWII; his three sons served in the Navy, Air Force and Army.

 

[cigarrodog]

God Save the Queen!

Now that’s cool, Vince.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack.

 

[RDaneel]

For Monday...

 

[Buzzbait]

Same old. Same old.

Always liked a Green knife and that Green Burlap fixed is a grand example and a tribute too!

Thanks, Will

A Paul Mason and friends for Micarta Monday!

I'm guilty of over using that word.

I sometimes use it ("awesome") incorrectly, too, as an inside joke to myself.

Doing some fence repairs today.

Out of necessity it is this one again yesterday , today and tomorrow .

And the real SAKs are very inexpensive (compared to GEC, or even Case). It's sad. I've carried a knife most of my life, since I was about 8 or 9, and our forefathers did too. Necessary equipment, like carrying a comb, handkerchief, billfold, keys, etc. We live in a different world, where children are taught that all knives are weapons and are bad. It was man's first tool, for crying out loud! Well, I'm raising my daughter right. She ALWAYS has at least one knife on her, and most of the time it's a traditional.

PREACH IT, Brother!

You're so right. Another word that is generally misused is "awesome." I think the Grand Canyon is awesome; some people use "awesome" in almost every sentence, it seems. Went to a restaurant and the waiter asked "Have you been here before?" "Yes." "AWESOME!" He used the word about ten times on his first trip to our table! I almost laughed, but I behaved and didn't embarrass my wife.

Knife content: got this in my pocket now:

(Insert over used superlative here) knife, Vince!

 

[Half/Stop]

Thanks Ron. Great pair your totin.

Have a great trip to the Atlantic coast my friend.

Thank you for the kind words Dwight! A terrific photo of you Ashley’s Choice!

You're a traveling man, Ron, with a pair of exquisite knives! Coincidentally, for some reason I had this song stuck in my head Saturday:

Thank you Gary! I haven’t listened to The Lovin’ Spoonful in a very long time my friend!

Grand "grain" in both steel and wood, Ron!

Thanks Gary!

A mutual friend, Old Engineer , tells me you are not that far east of where I am, so next year, we will pressure and cajole ( not cudgel, just cajole) you to join us at the Badger Knife Show. Whereupon and whence you could oblige me by bringing this old TEW for me to fondle a bit.

I'm guilty of over using that word.

I sometimes use it ("awesome") incorrectly, too, as an inside joke to myself.

You could use the more accurate and literal version , “that is awe inspiring!”

Very true!
