I think I have four new folders and two were giftsI remember being very confused the first time I saw this knife. "Gev doesn't do new knives..."
Oh and a 6 dollar kissing crane lockback whittler which I use

Thank you. I’ll add it, but I’m afraid to peruse that thread. Should I send the invoice(s) your way after I do?
Agreed. But now I’m thinking grilled cheese is my next quest.

- Thank you Gev. Forgive me for not knowing the pattern number of your UN-X-LD, but I know what I like, and that is a cream puff of a knife.

Cool little Robeson, and the Stockyard Whittler looks like a winner. I hope to pick up one of those later in the month. I wonder if it could become a true "every day carry", but then I think that about each new knife I have my fickle eyes set on.For today my pocket totes will include a new acquisition, the GEC Stockyard Whittler in Osage wood, and a snappy old Robeson split back Whittler from the 20' or 30's.
She was made by Gilles Reynewater (https://www.thiers-issard.fr/fr/content/16-savoir-faire, there's a shorter version in English) who bought the Thiers-Issard Cy in 1985 (btw, Thiers is a family name, not the town) and owns a few others, including Sabatier*****Elephant (imho the best of the Sabatier brands for kitchen knives). Probably X75 carbon steel.

I entirely relate to this.Today, I'm still carrying my 1950s? Boker. I don't know why I like it so much. I mean, I sort of do; it's a nice old knife with great steel and lovely worn bone, but there's something else about it that speaks to me. Maybe I can feel that it was once somebody's true "every day carry".
Even the broken blade cuts.
