Great knives, gentlemen!
I’ve come to the conclusion that I really like toothpicks. I’ve seen some beauties on here. Geocash, I love that little Case!

[WillyCamaro]

Prepare to drool Ann!
I have a one of a kind Bill Lewis custom case toothpick, that i got dirt cheap off the bay.

To bad i have only one pic. She is a real looker. All the file work. Buffalo horn handles. What more could you want.

David, behind the 72 that is my favorite knife. I think I have 3 now and each one is quality. A really great carry.

[Ivoryman]

Quick I loooooooooooooooove that pic, and of course the knife, the knife oh my my my. But the color in the looking glass and background too. Sweet shot of the sweeeeeetest of knives. Wow that one gets the Northwoods envy all hot and bothered. Man.

These mozzarella packages are a drag, fortunately the Tidioute shredded it.

You know, a knife is pretty handy to have around. Good thing I have one.

[Quick Steel]

Thank you Iman. That particular knife is only carried on the occasional Sunday.

I honestly can't figure out how millions of people get thru their days without having a knife handy to simplify any number of common tasks.

I'm drooling over that Case

Thanks much! The Loveless is no slouch either.

This CSC has been in my pocket all night. 10 hours in on a 15 hour smoke, 8 lb shoulder from one of our pigs, brined and injected, dried and rubbed, Fogo charcoal. Pulled pork sandwiches for lunch.

Thanks Ann. One thing I like about that one is that it's so small that it's easy to carry, & use. I went to an event last week that had "finger foods" & tongs for serving but no other utensils, not even wooden toothpicks, so people had to really eat with their fingers. Or most people did. I slipped the little toothpick out, hid it in my hand & used the tip of the blade to pick up things like watermelon & pineapple. No one seemed to be concerned but I'm sure it would have been different if I pulled out my other knife.

Today:

Oh, you're right. That Loveless is a beauty, but I do love the stockmans!

I have a 2-3 pound picnic cut I need to smoke here soon.
Burgers, dogs, chicken and veggies on the grill today.

And a question on the side for anyone: Was Camillus the only maker to stamp Keen Kutter? I assume they made mine but it seems like the more I read the less I know.

I believe the hardware store EC Simmons originally owned the marque. Not sure if they made their own knives or contracted them out to, say, NYK or Ulster (I have an old KK Barlow that looks a little like the latter - no pics right now). Camillus built a lot of Keen Butter knives in the mid-20th, although I have one from the spun-pin era I'm pretty sure is not Camillus.

Since then, Bear & Son (a.k.a. Bear MGC) had issued some Keen Kutter knives. I have a pair of Barlows and a trapper from Bear's KK runs.

Been carrying various combinations of these 4 knives every day since Thursday.

[doglegg]

Tony, you need a Captain Kangaroo coat to carry all those knives.

[DM11]

Couple Camillus for Memorial Day. Army Air Corp Utility Knife and a Army Engineers and Marine Corps Utility knife.

[Ivoryman]

Good Memorial day to ya, hope you're all having a good one.

[geocash]

Thanks, Tony, for the insight on Keen Kutter. I have so little experience with so many knives.
