All About Pocket Knives

But I am enjoying an older Boker Tree Brand #280B Whittler with carbon & bone & a 1970s German Eye Brand Medium Stockman with SS & bone:

That's a beautiful pair of knives geocash!

Maybe? No but actually, I'm a handles guy. If they look nice, I'm in! And I'd love to buy more Cases, Schrades, Queens ect. but they are hard to find used over here & if ya do, they are usually over priced. By the way, picked up my first real Schrade over night. I'm buying knives in my sleep. Pics this evening.

Time to make the Doughnuts!

Richard, I am of the same opinion.
Nicely done!!

Case 5318.
About the shed... I was taking a walk in the woods out behind my parents house (Maine) a couple years back. I look down and find my first ever antler. So I look around in hope of finding its mate. No, but I did find a second antler. I don't think it was from the same buck as the first because it was a bit smaller. Two sheds within 5 minutes! Both in perfect condition, no breaks, cracks or teeth marks from critters gnawing on them.
I left the smaller one with Mom and Dad.

A fine knife & a fine shot, Steve.

I get a thrill every time I find an antler. Some times more than others. One winter morning I was looking out my bedroom window, watching three young bucks that each had one antler left. Until I noticed that only two had an antler left. I didn't actually see the one fall off but I did put my clothes on & went & picked it up. Another time I found a nice fresh shed near my pond. I should have looked around a little more because, months later, I found the matching antler a few feet away & like you say, rodents had been gnawing on it all that time.

Thanks Jtx.

Am I the only one that carries the same thing, day in, day out, year in, year out? Hmmmm. Perfect example of a creature of habit.

For any who haven't seen it before, it's a Camillus 72 Frankenknife built for me by Rob (Whitebuffalo58). Love it.

I have seen it and admire you for carrying one knife all the time. Wish I could find that one knife I could carry. My constant companion sort of thing. I just like all my knives and like toting different ones. Maybe one day I will settle on one. I have managed to narrow it down to about 10. LOL. I like your knife Jerry. Seems like it could do all asked of it.

Kevin, having only one EDC is just a life long habit. Simply put, it's the way I'm wired.

I carry the same two every day. A Klaas & a Winchester. And on the weekends I carry the one Jim built for me so 3 altogether.
I keep on buying knives so I'll have more EDC's and then I put them in my show case time after time.

several today
