All About Pocket Knives

I hate to feel underheeled, lol...

...and I thought I carried alot!! Hope you got suspenders holding up them britches!! John

I carry 2 at the most...

I do wear leather galluses or suspenders or braces everyday! I'm 6'4", 350#, and got no butt hardly at all. I have those galluses, a belt, Justins, a Resistol/Stetson, and Wranglers everyday. I'm in the construction material buisness, plus farming, and messing around in the cattle business some, too. You have to have a knife or two, or three, or four...

Hey Vic, you and Phil buddies?

I don't know if I know Phil or not. We live 10 or 12 miles apart, but I don't know his last name. I may have to get him to go on a knife hunt with me this summer. There's a couple of pretty good flea markets around here fairly close that usually have some knife traders around.

The fellow that used to play mandolin with me was born and raised at King's Mountain.

What was his name?

My wife's family are all from Harlan County and I'm an Arizona boy. We got more guitars, fiddles, mandolins, and banjos around the place than you can shake a stick at. Even have a stand up bass player and dulcimer player in the family. Sounds like I'm in good company on this thread!

I think me you and phil just live down road from another me in nicholasville phil in garrard u in stanford .....small world

BigVic I got a little knife shop to tell you about sometime.

Vieu don't forget Caddyman who lives in Brodhead.

Heck this territory is plumb infested with knife nuts.

Phil

BigVic, his last name is Thompson. Vieu, two sides of my family are from High Bridge, Houp and Murphy, though the Murphy's are more Mercer and Garrard County. My great and g-great grandfathers (Houp) are buried in Wilmore Cemetery and my ggg-gf in High Bridge. Still got cousins in Jessamine Co. You might know Ken Houp.

Hey Charlie, if you get tired of bumping into all those guitars, banjos, mandolins, fiddles and up-right bass', you give me a call and I come by and haul them away for you. I'll even take the dulcimer.

How about the family members attached to them? That'd be quite a truck load! I wish we still got together and played like we used to. We're all gettin' older and some have passed on The next generation is doing fine though

AW MAN!! There's always a catch!! Yes sir, let's hear it for the next generation of Bluegrass

There might just have to be a Central KY Gatherin'....

That sounds like a winner to me.

It doesn't take much to get me headed south and west!

Here's one I think you'll like T J. I don't carry it but I figure you guys won't shoot me for posting it here.

Carried this again today, it's a handy little EO, all the time!

Nice! Good lookin' knife and a good lookin' axe. That's an Ulster Easy open, Right? And the Guitar? I can't make out the label. I like the tiger strip pick guard. I like guitars as much as I like knives. Here's one that I do carry frequently. I tend to carry the guitar around quite a bit too

Had the Northfield and the Case with me this afternoon as I finally got to spend some time doing much needed yard work. Well, actually I had the Peanut with me all day long, put the 72 in my back pocket when I started working in the yard after lunch. Just barely got done before sunset.

Nice combination Doug. I REALLY like the Northfield.

Thanks Charlie, so do I. It doesn't have the crazy beautiful swirl cocobolo that some have posted, but it is a nice grain. And I love the slim profile of the 72.

Hey Charlie, it's a Gibson Advanced Jumbo. Good lookin knife and shot Doug!
