Some Monday posts that caught my eye.

Camillus French Ivory #66

That's a shapely and attractive knife, Jeff!

Damascus Case Wharncliffe Teardrop and Victorinox Pioneer.

Colorful, collectible couple, Dean!

Just to clarify (not trying to be a jerk, I swear)...

That would be a Medium Jack.
The Small Texas Jack is just a bit bigger.
The Texas Jack is much, much bigger (Texas Sized).

I appreciate the helpful comparison shot, John!

I simply could not eat another prepackaged meal or bowl of cereal today , so I grabbed my Remington saw scout and prepared to grill. I am using my dad’s method, grill the meat then place all of it in a big pot of sauce and simmer it for awhile. It lasts several days this way, and the leftovers get better.


So far looking good.

Praiseworthy pair of Remingtons, Tom, and your grill photo has me feeling carnivorous!

Dramatic duo of vintage knives, Harvey!

Been carrying mostly small modern knives with supersteel lately... I had a big project on the yard that I knew would take a lot of rough use, cutting tough stuff and that it probably ding up the edge of whatever I was using. I pulled out my Sodbuster Jr. The edge was as bad as I thought when I was done, but 2 minutes on the hard Arkansas stone had it back to hair whittling. Guess what's in my pocket today?

What a classic! I gotta get me a yeller SBJr!

Go.
Out.
Side.

...

I know nothing about identifying morels, but I know a desirable Imperial cattle knife when I see one! Superlative knife!

Earlier today (Monday), I was totin' a couple of my casual Case collection carries: a 054 small lockback (1989) celebrating the Case Tested Centennial and a 087 stockman (1965-1969).
...

I dawdled a bit today as it was pretty nice in the backyard after the morning rain.

That's a gleaming, shiny pair, Stuart, but they pale somewhat compared to the springtime glory in your backyard!

Morning folks, I've just been breaking down a load of cardboard with an old Swedish Army Knife by Frost's of Mora...

Also carrying my Hartshead Barlow in stag, and a Peanut-sized Parker Cut Co Little Doagie, gifted to me by Stuart @Duckdog, along with some delicious butter-toffee coated Virginia peanuts

Quite a versatile trio, Jack! Wouldn't it be cool if you could buy a can of nuts containing a little jack knife as a prize?

Thanks Gary, there was a time when fixed-blades dominated the collector's market. I have given a great many away over the years, but still find myself buying them The Marttiini was a gift, it's one of the more basic models, but I like it. I think Greg uses one for whittling. I think it's called the Lynx Lumberjack

Thanks for the info, Jack, and for the jog to my memory on that Lynx Lumberjack model. I think I've had that one on dealer "wish lists" several times, but never actually made the purchase.

Thank you GT. Maserin did a nice job with the knife all around. Good blade action and solid lock up as well.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I’ve got a Shrade 194ot lockblade dogleg trapper jack, and a Victorinox florist/pruner.

Looks like a useful pair, Jeff! I didn't realize those Vic florists came with a pruner blade - looks good!

My father’s Opinel I gifted him years ago. He always liked it because of it’s sharp blade. As you can see, he wasn’t afraid of patina. I recently darkened the handle.

He passed away about month ago. I think this knife reminds of him; humble yet sharp! He was a handyman who could fix anything and what he couldn’t he learned.
I still can’t believe he is gone..

Sorry for your loss

Thank Jack, Your Hartshead looks like it can split logs.

Today's edged companions.

Super stylish threesome Gary

Wooden Wednesday choice.

Lovely photo Dave

I'm on a celluloid kick lately.

I always enjoy seeing that one Jeff

Thank you, Jack! Very nice carries for today, I like that A. Wright fixed blade, the stacked leather handle looks great.

...

These two for me today.

Thanks a lot pal, beautiful TC

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Great triple play today; your Hartshead really took a nice bite into that stump!

You always have awesome treats Harvey; both cutlery and eats!

An American jack for today, one of my favorites.

Many thanks JJ That's a fine-looking Jack my friend

That would be very cool indeed Gary! No worries, I had to look up what it was called! Useful trio there

Hope everyone is doing OK These two for me today, my Hartshead Barklow, and a wee FB I picked up from a Polish maker called Grzegorz Kaczmarski. Have a good day folks

Gary,
“Useful” > pretty is my rule for knives.
For women, it must be both!
Re: Vic Florists, I spent several hours the last three days re-potting termaters. The pruning blade was just the thing.

I think you’ve got about the best looking Sodbuster Jr around! And I love the Imperial jack.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Windy, chilly, wet. In other words, just lousy weather. Not really looking forward to working over at our little farm today, but a shipment of bare root raspberry bushes arrived yesterday, so they need to go in the ground today. I’m glad I waxed my Barbour jacket recently.
Besides the usual suspect on my belt, I’m using a barehead jack, and a stockman today.View attachment 1331386View attachment 1331387

Dwight, the Coffin Jack is an elegant knife. I know that others will agree with me that your Stag example is one of the best here!

Case really has some beautiful Jigged Bone Gary! I really love the Peachseed on that big Sodbuster. Stay safe my friend!

Great choices for your Thursday Jack!

I bought mine from Lyle at the Rendezvous. Its not been loved on as much as yours. They’re beautiful knives. They had just been released. Charlie and Lyle were selling their knives off a table right outside the company store. Man it sure does bring back fond memories of Titusville. I really hope I get to see you there this year Travis!

 

[Half/Stop]

I guess you could say today is about polished carbon and patina for me. Y’all be safe and well out there!

 

[Peregrin]

I got out a couple of large wood clad totes today and one thing led to another. I had to wear my big pocket carpenter pants to tote them, which led to a late afternoon thirst, so I had to get a large beer. That's the problem with large knives.

Nice big knives, Stuart! I can see how totin them might help you work up a big thirst!

Thank you Dylan.

Thank you Jack

Thank you Ron.

I'm very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I offer my condolences.

That's some nice stag on your Coffin Jack, Dwight. I really like pattern and carry mine often.

Hope everyone is doing OK These two for me today, my Hartshead Barklow, and a wee FB I picked up from a Polish maker called Grzegorz Kaczmarski. Have a good day folks

Nice stag carries, Jack. The FB is a neat looking old timey knife.
