Stunning pair Taylor Happy Birthday!

I started out carrying my Ashley's Choice Lambsfoot, but then a gift package turned up from Mr @paulhilborn Along with the amazing sheep's head was a 4-line Camillus Easy-Open Jack, which went straight in my pocket Many thanks Paul

Beautiful knife, Jack...and a very nice gesture @paulhilborn

Took my last trip to the Bay Area.
But my son is home now until he starts college.
I Toted these two for the trip, they make a handsome and handy pair I think.

That lambsfoot is a looker, JaxBaron ; rosewood handle, right? I have one that looks very similar, stripes and all, and I love it!

Grand gunstock (and great guitar guy), Lance!

Tuesday is usually taco night at my place, and generally Sunday is more of a feast, but it is just too hot today to use the grill or oven. So Taco Sunday it is, with my Pioneer X .

I'll bet those tacos hit the spot, Tom, even on Sunday! And your blue Pioneer X marks the spot, too!

Dignified and delightful lambsfoot duo, P&G!

Just this one today:

African rosewood lambsfoot from A. Wright & Son, Sheffield. (That's an English bloke on the mug, by the way.)

Pretty as a picture, Vince, you Texas bloke!

Carrying these 2 again today .

...
Harry

You could make a persuasive case for carrying those 2 again for every day from now on, Harry!

I will be toting my Spanish polished stag navaja to cheer me up on Blue Monday:

From Master Artisan José Antonio Herreros Gomez, Albacete, España.

Gorgeous navaja, Vince, and that's no bull!

For Monday I'll be toting my favorite new Swiss pal with a slice'n WWII Ulster TL-29

Your new Farmer is a green dream, JJ!

STAG for me as well

What IS that stag knife on the left, Will? It's very attractive, I've noticed in your recent pics, it looks vaguely familiar, but I can't identify it!

View attachment 1166025 The Wenger Handyman does not often get pictured in this thread, but it is always in my left front pocket. And the pitted but scary sharp pre-70 Peanut with the wonderful Case redbone is always in that little pocket made for guitar picks.

That's a trustworthy trio, Jeff! I have a lot of SAKs, but only 2 are Wenger (see a little Esquire below), and I'm not sure why Wenger is such a small minority for me.

Das Messer ist wunderbar! Otter Ankermesser?

I know it’s Monday, but I’ll carry Ebony on any day that ends with a “Y”! These two from Charlie C for me. Y’all have a great day!

Ebony classics, Ron! Black as coal!

Tell me again why I've spent thousands on higher end productions and customs? Lol.View attachment 1166065

I could ask a similar question, Alan, but for me the thousands have been spent on LOTS of lower-to-middle end production knives, and the question arises each time I pick up an Opinel.

It does make a nice knife stand, doesn't it?

It sure does! (And after typing "Rack 'em", somehow I was reminded of how much I enjoyed the game Rack-O as a kid. )

I loaded up a different set of knives today to take me through next Sunday.

Carrying this one in my new H&T slip in antique green. Stopped by GPK on my way to Grafton, IL, this past weekend. The folks there are always friendly and extremely helpful

Beautiful knife, Jack...and a very nice gesture @paulhilborn

Thanks a lot John

I think that is the regular stockman. The medium stockman is 3 5/8 in. There is also a large one that s about 4 1/8 in., I think. Yours may be the ideal size.

Thank you!

Case calls many of the stockman models, including 3 1/4 inch, 3 3/16 inch, 3 5/8 inch and 3 7/8 inch ones medium. At least that is what shows up on their website when you do a search for 'medium stockman.' To my knowledge, the small stockman seems to refer to only one model as does the large. Very confusing to me. I've also seen the 3 5/8 inch one called a premium stockman.

It sure does! (And after typing "Rack 'em", somehow I was reminded of how much I enjoyed the game Rack-O as a kid. )

Your Old Cross red Pioneer is such a grail, Gary!

I also remember Rack-O; it was one of my favorite games in my youth. It's odd how something that was such a part of my life is nothing more than a pleasant memory for me now.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today with A. Wright & Son, Hartshead Barlow in stag!

 

[Old Engineer]

They make a world-class pair, Harry! (Do you still use your clotheslines? I quit using mine about 5 years ago. )

- GT

Thank you very much my friend !!!
Yes we do .

[Fodderwing]

Beautiful Gary. I admire your self discipline in making it into the house with the tomatoes. I can't ever seem to do that.

Harness Jack and a Cattle knife today

That Schrade Walden jigging is unreal gorgeous!

This one for the afternoon. Justius Bierhoff

For the fourth July 22nd in a row, I'm carrying this Nifebrite #71 Bull Nose.

Three years ago, I had this knife in my pocket when our daughter, Eleanor, was born.

Since then, it's been my go-to carry for her birthday and any other special milestones. I've made a point to get a picture of her with the knife every year on her birthday, and I enjoy getting to share them with you all.

Here she was on her first birthday:

And last year on her second:

And here she is holding her knife today:
