Appealing DamSamLamb, Dwight!
Bracing brace of straight-edge blades, David!
Haha.
When I did the quote it linked to that and I couldn't undo it. I don't know why.
I only know how to insert the URL of a link. How do you insert a "meaningful word or phrase" as a link instead of the URL itself?
Congrats on that champion pair of recent acquisitions, Taylor!
Thanks for the response, Gary. I completely understand, but my compulsions are different than yours.
The muskrat does not appeal to me at all, but I could change my mind. Didn't like the toothpick either, but my daughter has a medium toothpick that I now love. But the big trapper I LOVE. I will often carry it in addition to other knives. I love the fact that it has two large blades. I think the Case trapper is the perfect size. My daughter has a Rough Rider trapper that seems just a wee bit smaller, and I think the GEC trappers are either bigger or smaller than Case's.
I share your affinity for the lambsfoot, the Spanish navaja, and the canoe. And I love the Victorinox knives, too.
Part of the appeal of the knife hobby to me, Vince, is that there are plenty of differences among folks with regard to their tastes in patterns, handle materials, blade shapes, sizes, etc. Vive le différence!

Back to hot/dry Arizona later today!

I've enjoyed your delightful seaside vacation pics, Del, but every pet owner knows you must get back to your "dog" before too long!
My totes today are serendipitous. ... Spurred by that discovery, I dug some more and found an old wrapped up paper towel
under a box. In the wrapping were my totes for today: an Aerial senator pen (1912-1944) in red/black striped celluloid and a Schatt & Morgan (Titusville, PA, 1903-1932) sleeveboard jack in a pink/green marble celluloid. Both sharp as razors.
...
I may tote these two tomorrow afternoon when I gather with my buddies at our watering hole.

Lightning strikes twice, Stuart!
Engaging finds, especially the red/black stripes!
...
Very nice GT
...
Thanks for your favorable reaction, Jack.
Today's carry.
Gallant pair of single-spring knives with blades at each end, Dean!
I'm very fond of both the wharncliffe mini copperhead and the Pocket Pal.
My carries today along with something that's always there but not always shown.
Holy Tiny Tots!
I'm familiar with the little white folder, but what are those even smaller ones on either side of it??
Intriguing photo, Ken!
That sowbelly stockman looks very beefy!
...
I think your research is sound, professor.
My gf/now wife found mine in the late 70’s on the sidewalk.
Re: gas mileage... it’s worth it!
Thanks for the confirmation and opinion, Jeff.
That Buck Canoe is a good looking knife.
Thanks, John.
A few years ago, I was searching for a Buck stag canoe (which I eventually was fortunate enough to find), and became aware that Buck had made some jigged bone canoes, too, back about a dozen years ago now. I was never able to locate one, but a BF member apparently remembered my search and secured one for me when he ran across it.
Carrying the Farmer since I got home from work.
Received my first alox the other day, so it's in my pocket as well.

2018 EO 85 with Wenger Soldat
Those Alox models are always a joy to see, gents!
What year is your Soldier, Paul?
This will be in my pocket on Friday. And Saturday, and Sunday, and Monday, and so on....
Sambar stag Hartshead Barlow lambsfoot from A. Wright & Son, Sheffield.
Kick out the Jams, Vince!
Kudos on the new stag Hartshead Barlow!
...
That's the one, GT, though the Klaas has class, too.
- Stuart
Thanks for the canoe commendations, Stuart.
...
Knice ring turner Gary, I’ve always loved the ingenuity of the opening system. I’m surprised nobody makes them any more. The last modern one I remember was from Canal Street Cutlery. It was also the first forum knife and one of their first knives/patterns in their catalog.
...
...
Thanks, Ted.
That BF CSC stag ring opener is a "lap of luxury" knife!
...
5K Qs
Thanks! It looks like you have your hands full with a couple of excellent canoes and a "ringer," or should I say "two" with the very cool KK
Today's carry I'm going "back to the basics" with a late forties Imperial scout and a sixties super slicer Case Barlow
Thanks for your kind words, JJ.
Your pair are major-league memory makers!
Nice day to carry your Saturnalia knife GT
That Mini Canoe is a nice pattern I always think, and that's a great pic of your Buck Canoe
...
Morning folks, managing to check in a little earlier today, and carrying these two for the day
Have a good Friday
Thanks, as always, for your positive feedback, Jack.
Your arboraceous duo is noteworthy!
My new Hartshead Barlow for today...
Congrats on the newly-minted, yet old-fashioned, Barlow, John – ornate and perhaps even opulent, but not ostentatious!
Dwight, your Queen 2-blade barlow is a peerless potentate!
