Off out early in the morning, toting these two
Have a good Thursday folks
Splendid pic of your HHB, Jack!
Will you provide a brief description of the Little Doagie?? (I'm behind in this thread, so maybe you've already done so and I just haven't arrived there yet!
)
I don't know if you're serious about your knife having Formica inlays, but a while back I was eating in a diner, carrying a small Robeson knife, and noticed how much the covers resembled the table top.
I wonder if it's really the same stuff.
Amazing resemblance, Rachel!
Actually two amazing resemblances: between your knife and the table top in the diner, and between the diner table top and that of the earliest kitchen I can remember from my childhood!

- Thank you GT. I’ve had the the buckshot RR for a bit. You and your wonderful RR collection was the prime motivator for exploring the RR World. Your Case sawcut brown bone is a sweetheart.
Thanks for the kind words, Harvey; I'm glad some of my knives can inspire someone now and then!
Maiden voyage for this 80s aluminum with scroll work Buck 111. Purchased, expertly sharpened and Spa tx from
@Gary W. Graley. Thank you Gary.

Congrats on the fancy Buck 111, and thanks that another shot of your Brookes & Crookes is "in the books"!
...
Very nice triple jack picks for you today, Gary; the Colonial looks great with the wire trimmed formica covers!
...
Thanks for the positive comments, JJ.
Bodacious brace of bone folders you posted in your C. Johnson and PAL!
Many thanks, José!
Gary, from one old guy to another, I know exactly what you’re referring to on your quote to Stuart!
Thanks for the compliment on my Wooden Wednesday carries!
Great quote Gary. Took me back to a wonderful time. It’s amazing how a song can affect your mood. Today is going to be a good one.
Thanks for the remarks, Ron and Alan; I'm glad I could provide some musical memories.
I'm always amazed how much of songs I remember even if I haven't heard them for decades, whether it's Top 40 or old church hymns! One of the things I like best about the Internet is whenever some old song suddenly breaks into my consciousness, I can usually go listen to the original, and see the lyrics, online.
Case Medium Jack
Classic, John!
Primo pair, David; I'm especially fond of those Bökers with the tree brand bolster stamp!
Thanks! It's about 3 7/8" Here's the camera I used.
Thanks for the length confirmation; 4 1/8" seems SO much bigger than 3 7/8" to me!
Can you still get film cartridges for that old camera (nd find someone to develop them)??
...
Thank you very much Gary
For me, 'interesting' is right behind 'fascinating', and possibly the adjective which most inspires my love of traditional pocket knives
...
This gave me a chuckle. “Interesting” is what my wife might say after I cut my hair.
...
Thanks for elaborating on your connotation of "interesting", Jack.
Too often, I hear it used as Jeff describes, which reminds me of the phrase "damned by faint praise"!!
They certainly are. I'm honestly disappointed in myself for not picking up an SAK earlier, and the lambsfoot is my second most carried folder. Both are solid working tools.
EDIT: I really like your watch pocket carry this week GT, I forgot to add that in originally...

Today's carry...
Thanks for the kind word, Willie.
What's the yellow handle on your fixed blade, and what's the little tool below your SAK??
Another maiden voyage. Baxter Ltd. Lamb.
Congrats on another marvelous find, Harvey!
Sensational jigging, but is the handle bone or wood?
It was a bit cold this morning…
…but it warmed up a lot this afternoon.
...
I had these two with me today.
The knives are HOT
, but your temps are NOT
, Barrett! My daughter sent email complaining about the temps in Minneapolis as she got ready to go out to some morning meeting.
Carrying one more than needed because this one has made choosing anything else impossible.
That's an outstanding EO 85!!
What kind of wood is used for the covers?
For Friday I'll be toting these 2 shadow pens from the 1920s; a Crucible sleeveboard and a Canton Cut Co EE.
I'm always pretty much overwhelmed by that pair of shadow pens, JJ!!
Nice combination Barrett, stay warm my friend
That's a beautiful pattern JJ, reminds me that I'm overdue to slip one in my own pocket
Maybe at the weekend, but today, I'm carrying a couple of my SFOs
Happy Valentine's Day folks, and have a great weekend
I'm sure that Valentine's Day pair were essentially a labor of love for you to bring into being, Jack!
Now that's a knife of yours that I not only enjoy, but it even makes me envy you, José!
I've been looking for a Settler whose price I can settle on for a long time!
Hope you and your Valentines have a great day!
What a jet-black pair for Friday, Ron!!
