Awesome carries to start the work week, John, ww and QS.

Made it to Pensacola yet again. First time here since 2016, gorgeous weather today in the 70°s. 10 days ago we were in 8° weather in Cumberland, hard to believe. We did our 4.5 mile coffee walk this morning, the fog was burning off. Case/Carhartt knife pictured on the Gulf Breeze to Pensacola Beach fishing pier.

Thanks Rider!! I was stationed at Corry Station in Pensacola when I was in the Navy!! I love Pensacola! Enjoy your visit!! Thanks for the pictures. I take my Case sowbelly with me on all trips as well. Great choice of your old friend!!

Thank you, Sir! I posted some beach pictures in the Outdoorsman thread.

Nice carries, y'all! Garry, what size is the Opinel (I can tell it's a No. 6 or larger), and what is the handle material?

My pockets are a little full today. From left to right: Rough Ryder "Blue Mule" small toothpick, Victorinox Executive (which rides on a neck lanyard for now), Opinel No. 6, Victorinox Camper, Leatherman Freestyle, and Latshaw Pocket Wrench II.

Dan, how do like the green synthetic handle on the Opinel No. 6? I have several older ones all wooden handles and I like the look of the new handles.

Do you have any photos of the Waterman with the blades open? It looks similar to a couple I picked a little while ago.

A Buck 301. ... I got a little surprise taking this picture today...

I turned around to put the knife in the shade to take a picture of the maker's mark. I heard a noise in the brush and turned to find some new desert "friends" You can see the clay head in the back ground and how close the nearest Javelina is to me from my shadow in the picture. There were at least 6 of them poking around.

Like me they must like Buck knives...

Do they cause you any issues? Or do they just stop by to say hi?

I just back away and give them space. I consider them "neighbors" so to speak. However, they have sharp tusk like teeth and can cause serious damage. Last year there were a few attacks in my county by them on some hikers and I know someone who ended up falling down trying to get away from them and was attacked and then helped by another hiker who happened by. I worry more out my dog, he already had a tussle with them and ended up at the vet's with a BUNCH of stiches.

You are welcome my buddies GSP hunting dog was in some thick brush looking for quail and was attacked by a Javelina and got cut up and the vet bill was $1500. So I always try to be aware of them when outside.

Best to respect any wild animal, especially when they are big enough to hurt you!
But I do wonder if those tusks would make good knife handles!

Those tusks would make good HANDLES, if the knives were small enough
