[cbr1000]

Had to take a second shot with something for size reference. First picture my medium sized hand looked enormous!

 

[Half/Stop]

That Miller Bros is a dandy !

Thanks Steve!

 

[Laurelbb]

Great pic, Alan! I had to carry mine after seeing it. Sometimes my memory needs a jog.
How many stag did they make? 100, 200?

I'm very fond of my ebony one, and/but love these stag versions!

Jack Black - Thanks Jack.

That's pretty cool It's a 4-line Camillus very kindly gifted to me by Mr @paulhilborn

I love the covers on that knife Dean

Thank you, Jack! Your jack being a Camillus 4-line makes it even more intriguing.

It's Wednesday, so why wooden't I tote these two, old and newer: Cattaraugus boy's knife (C.C.C. Little Valley, N.Y. stamp, 1886-1963, 2 5/8") in ebony and a Case fishtail lockback (P1051 1/2 L SSP, 1986, 3 3/4") in Pakkawood.

Arrrgh, to all y'all!

Today's carry: Case teardrop in curly maple photographed on a new repair to a small bridge over a stream in a local wooded area. Kind of dim with all the trees.

ME too...love the covers !!! Sensuous pattern

 

[Duckdog]

Great photo Stuart!

Thanks, guys.

A fine pair of Barlows, GT.

Gary thanks as usual for the compliments my friend! Very nice Barlow’s my friend!

...
5K Qs - Thank you GT. Two Barlows beautifully exhibited.

...
Thanks pal, the #44 was a gift from Duncan @Campbellclanman when he visited me earlier this year Great-looking pair of Barlows there
...

Superb pair of Barlows, Gary.

That you, Gary! That is a beguiling brace of Barlows you are bearing!!
...

John, Ron, Harvey, Jack, José, Dean: Thanks for being boosters of my Barlows.

...
Man, I came close to seriously bidding on a Blue Grass barlow a year or so ago, but it seemed like a few guys wanted it real bad, and I shuffled off in shame. You've got a lovely example of the breed! And good job on hand selecting the new Case. I like it.
...

...
Thank you Gary!!! I really like how bone covered knives all have their own unique character. Those are the only Wengers that I have and I certainly hope to run across more; Wenger was in a French Canton of Switzerland while Victorinox is in a German Canton; I really like both companies!

I'm very impressed with the Case CV and yours is gorgeous; the older Blue Grass is super cool too!

Thanks for the info/opinions about Wenger/Victorinox, Jeff & JJ, and for the Barlow backing.
I wish I knew where my Blue Grass Barlow came from. It has synthetic covers and the main blade has severe recurve from inexpert sharpening. It was in my window repair bucket for decades before I "rescued" it. It was probably in my wife's stuff when we got married, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks Gary, I admire not only your carries but the detailed method in which you choose Love both your Barlow's, I just rec'd a CASE like yours and it's an exceptional knife
Today's carry for me.

Thanks, Paul. Fantastic 2-blade ebony TC, and after reading its history in Charlie's Birthday thread, I'm even more impressed with what a memorable knife it is for you!

After rummaging around I came across a Case 6347 stockman I bought 30 years ago. I decided to pair it with a GEC 44, for Tuesday's totes.

The brass/bone combination on those 44s is splendid! What does the "HP" signify on the tang stamp of the Case stockman?

...
Morning folks, got these two in my pockets today

Admirable pair, Jack; lotta blade to work with in that Winchester!

Today in my pocket.

Excellent stag HHB, José!

Rosewood Lambsfoot for me today...

Resplendent rosewood, John!

I’ve got these two along this morning! Hope y’all have a great day!

Lambsfoot couple of the year, Ron!

...
5K Qs ~ Thanks, Gary. You’re very kind. Yes, absolutely. I did practice jigging on scrap first! Not so much for any kind of jigging pattern, but mostly to pick the right bit.

Got a couple of old High Carbon brand Craftsman knives today. View attachment 1197948View attachment 1197952

Thanks for the jigging info, Jeff.
Captivating couple of Craftsman knives! Did you get those when you worked at Sears?

I watched the movie, Hugo, last night (the movie is set in 1931); about 5 minutes into the movie a Barlow appeared. So, I decided to carry my own I*XL Barlow today.

My knife

Wow! Your knife is a movie star, Dean!!

German made Russell today.....

That's an incredibly handsome knife!

Happy Two Toothpicks Tuesday to all y'all. This BB Winchester 1924 has been hanging around for the past week or so and even joined me for a cocktail last night. I toted it and the L.L. Bean Fisherman to a local pond to see if it had been re-populated with more than frogs and damsel flies. It hadn't been.

- Stuart

Terrific toothpick twosome, Stuart!

Victorinox Cadet and Pioneer
View attachment 1198061

That's a notable pair, Dave! I'd better start looking for a black Cadet to put with my black Pioneer.

That can got dinosaur DNA hiding in the bottom of it?

Still loving the @glennbad modded 82.

Thanks pal, I like its versatility, particularly combined with a Lambsfoot
