Today with this SAK alox pioneer "Kingfisher" two colors and with nº 97/100.
...
Fantastic photo of your Kingfisher Pioneer, José!
...
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
...
Thanks, Jack.
Nifty pair of stag knives for Thursday!
...
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.
...
Case really has some beautiful Jigged Bone Gary!
I really love the Peachseed on that big Sodbuster. Stay safe my friend!
...
... And your Case Amber Sodbuster, Jr. is the best example of Amber bone I've seen (Hmmm, inspiration again?)!
...
I appreciate your replies, Jeff.
Thanks for the comments on my knives, Jeff & Ron & Dean. That amber bone Sodbuster Jr is one of the best examples (IMHO) of that cover I've seen, and the "Mother of Toilet Seat" Imperial is one of my favorite knives!
Jeff, your teardrop barehead 2-blade jack is superb, and Ron, the patina on your PD stag lambsfoot is fascinating!
Happy Thursday Everybody
John, you're gettin' jiggy wit it!
GT, my Camillus and I thank you! Your Case pair have very nice bone and a great blade combo between them.
And
Jack, the same thanks for my old Schrade. Going out today with the Possum Skinner.
That Possum Skinner is a noble knife, Jeff!
Thanks for the positive feedback on my Case bone pair.
That's a great photo, Paul!
I don't think I've ever seen the engraving on my Douk-Douk as clearly as it shows up in your pic!
That is great color and jigging Gary. No company out there today can beat modern Case for the combination of jigging and blue bone. OH
Thank you for your kind knife comment. So good to see your mini copperhead (the inspiration for my purchase
), it is a beauty.
...
...
Thank you GT. Just love that Case with the blue Jigged bone.
...
Thanks, Bruce & Dean & Harvey.
I really like the navy blue bone with the red shield, including
@Bastler's (mini?) Copperlock.
This one is sticking around a bit, slightly larger than a Peanut and only one blade but she's trim and slim and cuts well, fit and finish are lacking and goes toward one side and a bit of a blade wobble but doesn't seem to hurt the cutting. The other two things are golf balls that I cracked open and carved some characters, my first attempts at doing them, interesting stuff

That's some creative carving there, Gary!
Yes, standard beechwood. Size is No. 8. Wouldn't want smaller. And bigger may not be necessary.
Thanks for the info, Vince
; I thought the ?
?bone?
? (I obviously meant "wood"
) looked like it might be the oak or walnut I think Opinel offers. I don't think I'd want an Opinel bigger than #8, and in fact I prefer #7 (and maybe even #6 for pocket carry).

Splendid trio, Dean!
I wonder if more people are carrying more knives with the pandemic rules in effect? In the past, you rarely carry 3 knives in a day, do you?

Superb pair of vintage knives, Harvey, and I'm not familiar with either maker!
...
Speaking of great bone scales
Camillus for me today.
That Camillus EO makes me rattle and hum!!
Agree, Vince; very classy classic, at that!
Thought I'd pocket a couple of pens for Friday.
JJ, you post plenty of pulchritudinous pairs of pocket knives that make my heart go pit-a-pat, but that pair of shadow pens probably sets my pulse pounding most powerfully of all!
...
Yes Gary, several members of my family, going back at least to my Great Grandmother, worked for James Chesterman, and I lived near Bow Works more than half my life. Since the Sheffield-made ones usually employ Chesterman rules, they have a special significance for me. I also think it's a rather cool pattern
Here's one by Joseph Westby
Just try one....
...
Thanks for the story behind your interest in ruler knives, Jack, and for the fine photo of one.
I doubt if your cartoon "enabler" will get me hooked on fixed blades, despite his obvious personal appeal!
