This is a great picture!
A couple of serious, engaged family members. I'd love to hear and watch you play.

Thank you. David.

Your Wright and J. Rodgers are pretty easy on the eyes.

How long is your Rodgers stockman?
I may have one similar if I can find it.

EDIT: And I found mine; It is 4" closed.

Thank you, Ken.

Thank you, TPK.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys.

I bought this Wards equal end at the flea market last Sunday. A very solid folder that was used lightly.
Bone covers and the pile side has a crack at the wandering spring pin. 3 5/8". It's a keeper.

See how that little clip on this knife matches your Stainless knife.

That's a nice little knife; good catch.

Uhhh - ::paranoid:: - I should have said "I don't use it". I think a stout fellow or a couple of stout fellows could create a good kerf with it. It's very sharp. In my younger days I would have liked to have used it or tried to use it. I think it's an effective tool. There is a similar one...

Well, I've got this saw from Simmonds that folds. Must be about 40 Inches long.

I don't use it much.

That is a good looking bare head jack, Ivoryman.
Does it have a pattern number?

Twilight, with dark clouds rolling in. Much better in person.

Very nice picture, Chris.

Thank you, Floyd.

The turtles have finally come up from the depths at the pond I visit daily.
It's always a pleasure to see them in the spring.
Is there a better life among the animals than the turtles?

I don't know what this little guy is.
He was in a nice environment.

He might be related to this guy.

Here's a Red Wing Blackbird. Love that beak.

Here's a nesting Canada goose.

It's posts like this that help me reinforce my belief that New York Knife Co. was, in my mind, the finest knife manufacture in the country.
Barry, you must have an amazing collection. It's a pleasure to view these knives.

Seriously, that knife is great.

So true, Wade.

Thank you so much, guys, for the nice comments.

Good looking knives, David.

Boker 3588, 3 7/16" closed. Delrin covers and missing shield as usual. I bought this knife at a flea market today for cheap. This and two trashy knives for 2 dollars. Missing shield: I punched out a leather radius and stamped my initials in it and epoxied it in the void. I won't be surprised if...

Nice job on that marking knife, Reverand. If they're pretty that's a plus but they need to be effective and handy. Oh that poor carpenter pencil! If you put a chisel edge, on both sides, along the wide of the lead, to a sharp point, it will give you the sweetest fine line and long lasting fine line ...

A very nice congress, Ike.

Good show!
