You are right, GardDogg, ran into the same thing with my middle Son. Sports and Music capitalized all his time, and we were definitely torn ... I guess we will see what gives with this last guy ... I do believe he got da Eagle in him, though ...

I failed to clip a one hander this morning.

I have a SAK Classic SD
My good old Imperial Scout
and put this in my right front pocket:

Nice Primble barlow Dave. Same as usual for me today.

I love those Barlows.Went out on a one day changeover so I straped on the Kleins and grabed the Colonial lockback

Whoa. Cool 500, Overtech!

My 500 (bottom) and new trimmed down Opinel #9 (second from top) are playing tag to see who gets carried.

The Opinel #8 (second from bottom) is getting left behind. The nice wide belly of the Opinel #9 makes the Buck 500's blade seem a bit on the thin side. The #8 feels like pencil now.

In shorts with one knife on me.

Case Red Bone CV Humpback Whittler.

Today and most days: right jacket pocket = Queen/Burke Barlow// left jacket pocket = Opinel #8// right shirt pocket=Al Mar Ultra Lite Eagle

Tough to choose a favorite. Based on frequency of use I'd pick the Barlow.

A Schrade Walden 804 Mechanics knife is calling now.

My Red Bone CV Humpback Whittler is getting some character to it. And it whispers through paper!

Wearing Dickies work pants instead of carpenter jeans today, so reached for a thin knife. Picked up the Schrade 5OT for old time's sake. Feels anemic next to the Buck 500, but the lines are really graceful. The green scales have grown on me too.

NOTE for Taylor Brands: Bring the Schrades back home to the US!

Johnj, Love that Schrade!! They call it a Mechanics knife? It looks like a whittler (an awesome one to boot!) What's the story?

Going to spend this lovely friday at the union hall trying to figure out where all the work in the USA is going to tote the Bucks

It ain't Sunday,but this one is in my pocket today !!!!!! The fit & finish on this knife is ''AWESOME'' !!!!!__locks up tighter than a drum,and is sharp as a razor !!!! This one is definitely going to see lots of pocket time

Yesterday I carried the GEC Gino sent me. And the 834Y Schrade Walden that Donald (gringo) sent me for precision cutting. It is scary sharp!!!
Today I am carrying the GEC and the 896K Schrade Walden that Phil (philco) sent me. Along with those I carry my Spyderco Endura. Man, the steel in these old Schrade Walden knives sharpen up like a razors!
I have so many great knives sent by awesome AAPK friends I have to rotate them, or my pants will fall down, (and that would not be a good thing).

LOL, Dale those are all great knives! I really like the Spyderco and have thought many times of pullin the trigger on one.

Nice slection Dale. I am still sticking with the same GEC's 73 & 85

Trey, WOW!!!

What is that?!?!

That's my latest Muskrat Man custom, in walrus oosik and L6. Absolutely perfect.

Vry cool Trey!

This is what I am carrying #23 of course the blades are black now from some vinager soaking but to lazy to take photo's

Very nice Trey! Makes it look like a vintage knife, love it!
Big handful but still a beauty Vieu!
