Dean & Harvey, I have a "soft spot" for faux stag, maybe because my first knife was a Colonial scout knife with black plastic covers molded to have the texture of stag. So your bones tag, stallion, and Bexoid knives look fantastic to me! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words, Harvey & Dean & JJ. I really appreciate the encouragement! :)
Harvey, your triple-rattail stag lambsfoot is sublime! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Great photos of a ravishing knife, Dean! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

My Thursday totes are a couple of reissue knives from the eighties; a Winchester toothpick by Queen made in '87 and a NYKCo BSA scout by Schrade made in '85.:)

As much as I love those BB Winchesters, JJ, that Schrade-made scout is pretty special.

Both are nice, Jeff, and I really like that handsome 94OT. Poor little pumpkin (gourd?) is in sharp company.

In my mind, nothing wrong with carrying a (rare, expensive, nice looking) knife; or choosing to store it unused (to collect, hand down, use someday, resell for profit). Members in this traditional subforum carry one of a kind customs, 1 of 4, 1 of 24, and lots of dime a dozens. It’s great to see a well used TC Barlow; as it is an Opinel, sodbuster, or Swiss Army knife.

There are also some great unused/mint collections. Each according to their own preferences.

My only unused keeper knife (I have a few I’d like to sell) is a duplicate Northwoods Presidential, the user is one of my favorites. Somewhat recent pics below:

You've expressed very articulately some of the things I value on The Porch! :cool::thumbsup::cool:
The Presidential twins are unimpeachable!

Ace acrylics, JJ; that glittering toothpick is a treasure! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

Thanks, JJ!
It was a great year for my garden~other than the beets, kale, and winter squashes, the beds are all cleaned out and getting manured for next year.
These little punkins are volunteers that always come up from the seeds in the compost. Whenever I plant a hybrid variety of squash, you never know what their seeds will produce. Open pollinated varieties will come back true year after year. This year I have acorn, butternut, and spaghetti squash, but did not plant any ~ all volunteers.

Too many knives? Nope:D
