All About Pocket Knives

Pulled the trigger on a Black G-10 today.. Yinz guys are a bad influence and I got a soft spot for the MT!!! This is all jerrys fault!!!! John

I don't know why you want to blame me. I'm just following in the proud footsteps of that famous Hawaiian enabler, ~Q~. He's the one that got me started down this road to ruination.

The latest one was delivered today. This Patriot Kirinite 07 is much better in person than in pictures.

That's a FINE one ya got there jerry... John

John, where did you buy your black G-10 Mini T from? I haven't seen that handle material on the 07 very often, and the few times I have, the knives seemed a bit pricey. Looking forward to seeing photos of yours when it arrives.

~Q~

~Q~ all but one of these are pretty reasonable.

Yup...I was picturing a different knife (not a Mini T) in my mind when I wrote that. My bad. Apparently the hard drive in my brain needs more RAM, it's too full and I'm mixing up pattern numbers. (I might have to start posting pattern numbers in my photos so I can keep them all straight.)

~Q~

I thought that was a rather odd post, especially since it was coming from you but then I thought, "what the hey".

Shepard Hills Cutlery.. On sale.. 31.00 plus shipping.. John

For some reason I seem to have come down with a virulent strain of Orange Knife Obsession. (I didn't realize it was contagious, but I'm pretty sure I know who I caught it from.)
~Q~

Nice Q.... Got the G-10 today.. Gotta get a few pics.. This knife is the best F&F I have seen in a while.. Wish CASE wasn't so wishy/washy on their F&F.. John

Broke down and ordered one of these this morning. I'm so weak.
It's a 2013. I think they're discontinued.

Seller's picture.

I got one of those too jerry.. And yes on the disco.. I don't think CASE renewed their contract with Carhartt this yr.. John

Here's another one in Barn Door Bone that showed up on eBay this morning. I snapped it up at a price I couldn't pass up. The only Carhartts I've seen are from 2013.

John, the one like yours came today. We're brothers. (or they're brothers)
Blades are as ground and they sure look like the "new grind" they had several years back.

Ya got 2 nice one there jerry.. I have about a half dozen CASE/Carhartt knives and they are all 2013s.. John

Is it just you and me now John?

You're not weak, jerryd; it takes a strong man to know his own mind and follow his heart.
Good on yer. Good score, my friend.

(I'm still here too)

Thanks for your support (?) ~Q~. That green bone I got in today is as smooth as silk. The blades open and close like your mother singing you a lullaby when you were a babe in her arms. Both blades have great snap in all four positions. Opening half stop, fully open, closing half stop and fully closing. It's so sweet, it will almost give you a cavity just by coon fingering it.

Well then, you'd better call your dentist (I'm assuming it's that kind of cavity), jerryd, 'cause I can only imagine the amount of "coon fingering" that's going on between you and that sweet sawcut olive green Carhartt 07W...Hmmm, now I can't unforget that image from my twisted little brain.

~Q~

Yinz 2 are cracking me up!!! John

Antique River log 07.. Gotta get a better pic as the wood on this is really sweet.. John

How about a better picture John because I can't tell if that's a knife or a stick you picked up out of the yard.

Send it to me. I'll take better pictures of it and send 'em to you.

It will be in the mail second Tues of next week!!! John

I'll keep my eye out for it.
