That yellow cigar Jack is absolutely awesome!Today I'm going with a pair of "yellow jacks."
Today’s carry is a special one for me. This is my “Joseph” knife. Joseph is my 10 yr old adopted son. Today we are celebrating the 5th anniversary of his Forever Family Day. This is a huge milestone for us!
We were told by a child psychologist that , because Joseph was an older kid (five years old) when we got him, it would take at least five years for him to feel stable and secure in our home. It has been five good, but long, hard years, and by God’s grace he is definitely stable and locked in to our family.
He has autism and struggles emotionally and socially, but is the sweetest kid you could ever meet. I carry this knife for him because it reminds me to maintain my prayers and hope that God will heal his mind as he grows. And I think it’s awesome that the South Carolina motto is “While I Breathe I Hope”. And as a South Carolina boy through and through, I can get patriotic about my state in a heartbeat!
I’ve been connecting with the Porch community for the last five months and really enjoyed the knife talk, but have been pleasantly surprised at the amount of brotherhood present. I thought this would be the right place to share and celebrate a really good day for me and my family.
Thanks for the encouragement Jack!Outstanding post Jon, and what a great photo of you and Joseph Cool knife too
Thanks Ron! It was definitely a feel good day for my crew.I didn’t post yesterday, so I’m reading this early this morning! What a wonderful feel good post my friend! All my best to you and Joseph! That’s a great ole Schrade too!
And I will receive that Transatlantic congratulations with another smile. Thanks José!Two smiles that cross the Atlantic and arrive in Portugal, congratulations Jon.

By the way, this is a Schrade Walden 1976 4” stockman made for Parker. Minty mint condition!
Lol Harry, I bet you’ll hang onto that EO! I know I would! Thanks for the compliment on my stag carries for today buddy! That pruner really is a grand old knife my friend. I’d say it’s worth at least $28 on a good day! I really hope we get to see you guys sometime. We enjoy Nancy and your company and value your friendship more than you may know! We’ll stay safe and y’all please do the same my friend!Thank you very much Ron . It has turned out to be an almost unbelievable purchase . I may even hunt up that old lady and give her back her Easy Open Camillus ????? As I told you on the phone , I was just buying it for the Stag but it is in a much better condition than I even hoped for . It is even in my RFP right now . Have to put some Pocket Wear onto the high spots of the Stag . I am planning to see you folks yet this year and I will bring it along .
Those are some nice looking knives the you are carrying today my friend .
I will carry this one again today .
Take care my friend . You and Pam be careful putting up your New Deck .
Harry
