I've come full circle from inexpensive (think Douk-Douk) to more than I ever imagined spending (GEC) to full customs and now back to this wonder by Rough Ryder.View attachment 1281875
I'm just watching it rain some more today! There is a lot of flooding locally. The Tennessee River system has so much water flow to handle through the dams that TVA has shut down all barge travel until at least Friday. For someone that grew up 100 yards from the edge of a local river that feeds into the Tennessee River, it is almost unheard of for them to shut down the barge traffic. I'm keeping it simple today. Y'all stay dry!

Thank you, Jack. You have an interesting pair today. I have never seen one like your Hongjie before.
Who is the manufacturer? It appears to be exactly the same type of knife I used to carry as a preschooler. I found it in a drawer of my desk at my parents house. (Check out the elaborate lanyard I made for it at age of 6!)
When my father saw it after all those years, he bragged about having plenty of those in his workshop. I went to investigate. He didn't exaggerate. He does havequite a collection:
I believe it is the very same motiff as yours on the far left.
These are made by Sandrik and Mikov.
I'd say go for it. The red, Victorinoxesque knife you see on the first picture in this post is the very knife I got from my dad for my 7th birthday. As you can see I used the heck of it. It has been withe on all my boy adventures, trips, camps (was in my pocket when I kissed a girl for the first time) etc. right until I was 20, when I finally was feeling comfortable putting forward the money to buy my first real Victorinox. And I still have it (yes, I did loose it about twice) and it is my most precious knife and would be last to go. How much cooler it would be if it were a GEC knife?
Black and White, big and small for me today.

Thank you Jack!!! Great to hear your on high ground!
Very nice pairing with your HHB; cool looking cover pattern on your Hongjie!
Very handsome stag mini trapper, José!
Pretty Peanut pic, Jon!

Thirdly, based in the reflection in the blade of the hunter, don’t even look- just run!
Really like that blade mod, Jeff! I've always thought turning that locking screwdriver into a short sharp blade would make an excellent whittling knife.A well-worn High Carbon cattle knife, and the first TL-29 I ever mangled up. In micarta with a modded utility blade. Homely but extremely sharp and sturdy.View attachment 1281307View attachment 1281308 View attachment 1281306
First time this winter that snow looked nice to me, Steve! Very kool Kutmaster!Eureka Jack and a Kutmaster
Glad to see the honeymoon is not over, Tom!
Congrats on acquiring another sensational stag model, Alan!Just received this stag teardrop by @Jeffery mitchell and it dove right in my pocket. View attachment 1281422
That's an enjoyable find, John!
Great to see that old Ulster Barlow again, Dean!
I like looking at your knives, Harvey, but I'm uncomfortable with your TEW lambsfoot looking back at me! Is your RR buckshot bone teardrop new to you? Cool photo, and IMHO a grand knife! (I have a 2-blade version from Colt before their demise.)
Bewitching bone and jigging on your Barlow!!
Congrats on the ultra-nice Ulster!There’s no way I couldn’t carry this Ulster when I got home to find it in the mail, so forget what I posted earlier, this is what I’m packing now
Outstanding pair of Lambsfoot SFOs, Taylor!!
Welcome back, Drew. What an impressive "homecoming" knife and photo! I originally thought it was an 83, but you later IDed it as a 72; thanks for fixing my misconception.View attachment 1281804 Hey all, long time no post.. finally dumped photo bucket and got a compressor app. This arrived today and got CF and CE quite a bit.
I hope there's a break in the weather soon, Jack; flooding is so destructive!...

Splendid old knife, José; I like the grain of the handle!
Intriguing choices, Rachel! I've never seen anything like that bottom knife; it begs to have a wrench fit to its flat steel sections.A random pair for Tuesday:
Thanks for the feedback, Jeff. I knew th model name, but I didn't know it had the same grind as the Florist....
It’s a nice light, slim and capable knife, Gary. Thanks for telling me the name!
It has the same grind as the very similar Florist ~ only one side is ground, the other is flat.
Thanks for the supportive comment, Jack....

Looks like a superb pair, Mike! I know nothing about fixed blades (and intend to keep it that way ), but your new 62 sure is a champ!Sorry for the recycled photo, but finding this combo is working really well for my daily office carry

Thanks, John.That's a beauty, GT.

Thanks, Dean. That SFO for Jack Black had many wonderful horn examples!...
Your horn Lambsfoot is luminescent, Gary!
Such distinctive covers on that sheepsfoot TC Barlow, Dean!
We’re in the eye of the storm so to speak this morning. It’s actually not raining now. However, we have more heavy rain and possibly damaging wind later this evening. Your Stag Hartshead and Ebony #44 make an attractive and versatile pairing Jack!Stay safe Ron
Morning folks, hard to compete with a 'Super Knife', but today I'm pairing my pocket-hogging Hartshead Barlow with a #44 Gunstock
Thanks, GT.That's an enjoyable find, John!

Same reaction I have whenever looking at ANY alox.Thank you Jim, I agree about the Gunmetal, I've searched for a Pioneer/Farmer and Cadet to no avail. There are some Harvesters and a Farmer out there now but I won't pay those prices. Hopefully a re-release is in the cards
Great redbone!
Thanks, GT. I wonder if it was a very modern, industrial looking design back when it was new? Lots of bolster for a very small knife.Intriguing choices, Rachel! I've never seen anything like that bottom knife; it begs to have a wrench fit to its flat steel sections.
