A couple of Robesons todayView attachment 1424870View attachment 1424890

By the look at these awesome moody pictures, I wouldn’t be surprised if these knives were stamped “Made in Narnia”

 

[JonMcD]

Good wood

Thank you sir. I agree severely.

Growing old disgracefully!


Had a few adventures GT, but we still made our lunch reservation with 10 minutes to go!

...

I wish I were growing old UNgracefully, but DISgracefully is probably more accurate.
I'll bet adventures really enhance your appetite, Jack! Food looks tasty, HHB looks tasteful!

I'm carrying my Mini Copperlock in natural bone today (this is one of my 'pretty' knives).

I'm carrying my Blue Tribal Lock today.

Those are a couple of VERY "pretty" knives, Dean!

...
I think it has to be a lunchbox knife: two main blades, both stamped like main blades; I've never seen another. The guy probably had a reason to use a red cover on one side and blue on the other.

...

Very interesting!

Fantastic photo. José!

Toting a couple red bone jacks today.

Like gemstones, JJ!

...

Notable pair of knives designed by "Pillars of The Porch", Jack!

Today with the French Farol in Ebony.
...

Always a treat to see that "whale", José!

A full week with the #76

Counting in weeks instead of days must feel like real commitment, John!

How ‘bout some Klein and Sons for Monday?
...
Have a good start to the week!View attachment 1423190View attachment 1423191View attachment 1423192View attachment 1423193

Jeff, you should get a Klein Bottle (it's a math thing ) for storing your Klein tools!

I haven’t posted in a couple of days. We went to the mountains and spent the night Saturday. On Sunday we got to visit @Old Engineer Harry and Nancy! ... I took along a few knives to show Harry. ... It was a wonderful visit!

...

Glad you had a safe and satisfying trip, Ron!
You have some BIG knives! I have a Case Tribal Lock that's one of my biggest, but yours is the "runt of the litter" you posted!

...
I'm carrying yesterday's choice again today too. Hard for me to leave this old friend behind when he travels so well.

Home today so a Muskrat!
...

Couple of marvelous OT muskrats, gentlemen!!

I really like both of these knives.

Me, too!

Trying to be a good Soldier back at work

Is that splendid Soldier the result of your sig line?

Fantastic Farm Boy, Dee!

Gunstock Jack and a Camillus USAAC Utility

Toting the American jack from GEC today.

Beautiful bone on your knives, Steve & JJ!

2013 ebony Scout or as "P" used to call it, the Hershey Bar along with the oddity called the Beer and Sausage knife clad in Gabon ebony, which I happen to really like

Elite ebony pair, Paul!

...
Hartshead Barlow and an Albert Oates Senator for me today

Couple of cool and complementary carries, Jack!

Choice lambsfoot!

Brent Cramer LC Jr. today. Another segue into fall.

The fiery stag on that one gives new meaning to the line in the song for you Air Force guys, Gary! Going down in flame like that Cramer LC is not a bad way to go!
We live in fame or go down in flame.

My HHB today
View attachment 1423802

Stunning every day, Bill!

Don’t do it GT! That SAK Pioneer you have will do just fine . That’s one of my favorite knives. Thanks, as always, for the kind words!

...
Thank you GT, I suspect there are times my parents wished they'd picked 'Trouble' instead I always enjoy seeing your black Pioneer, it's a very elegant-looking SAK

Thanks, Jon & Jack.

5K Qs ~
Thanks again. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to be active on BF now, and the system will not allow a PM. Hope he’s ok and sees this thread!
I appreciate your wishes regarding the grandchilluns coming! We haven’t seen the girls since we drove out there last Halloween

Btw, the 10th covers wives and oxen, but it doesn’t mention knives, does it?

Hope you can track him down, Jeff.
Knives aren't explicitly mentioned, but seem to be covered by the phrase "nor any thing that is thy neighbor's."

Counting in weeks instead of days must feel like real commitment, John!

It is a commitment.
I look at all the other knives calling my name.
Then I remember why I'm dedicating this time to one knife.

We live in fame or go down in flame.

Thanks, Gary! It really has some great color to it. I think I'd prefer the fame to the flame though!
**********************************************************************
I've carried these two a few times over the last couple of weeks, sans traditional pocket knife. Might be I'm headed in a new direction. The new pants for Talley City Knife really make this a new carry option for me.

 

[JohnDF]

At least they're easy to open.

 

[Peregrin]

At least they're easy to open.

Very true! Plus no walk and talk worries, no oil the joints, and no blade wobble .... I'm sure there's there's more advantages!

 

[r8shell]

An old black catt.

 

[SteveC]

5K Qs Thanks Gary !

Elite ebony pair, Paul!

Thanks Gary

 

[David Schott]

An old black catt.

LOVE the broken blade regrind here! So cute and actually functional!

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack!!!

A wonderful wooden pair of totes representing great pieces from the past and present; very cool!

Toting a walnut covered Robeson Electrician and a Cattaraugus Whit-L-Kraft, both pre WW II.

Many thanks JJ, a wonderfully interesting pair there

We’re expecting rain all day today, so I figured it would be a great opportunity to do a little knife maintenance. I’m starting with these two SFOs. Y’all stay safe out there!

Stay dry Ron

Cool Project Bill

I shall call it... X-Caliber

I wish I were growing old UNgracefully, but DISgracefully is probably more accurate.

LOL! Thanks buddy

Thank you very much for the kind words Gary

Had my Hartshead Barlow in my pocket yet again today

 

[r8shell]

LOVE the broken blade regrind here! So cute and actually functional!

Thanks! As long as I can still get the blade to open, it'll cut.

 

[Half/Stop]

Glad you had a safe and satisfying trip, Ron!

Thanks Gary! We had a great visit. Those 23’s are big knives my friend!

 

[fuzzylogic]

Inexpensive but well made.

Lionsteel CK Edition Roundhead for Thursday.

 

[FLMacKnife]

Edit: Picture of the what I call 'thick cut' handles on this Parker-Edwards single blade slipjoint. Is there a better term to describe the shape of the stage handles on this one?

Parker Edwards stag handle Damascus. Excellent F&F, good snap, blade centering is perfect and no gaps. Under rated maker IMHO.
