That EO rocks Trevor. Very nice one to EDC.

Thanks Trevor.

After viewing all of those fantastic looking canoes from your collection over on the case canoe thread, your name will forever be associated in my head with that pattern! If I ever run across an actual sasquatch in the woods one day, first thing that will pop into my head is " I bet that squatch is packin' a canoe somewhere on his big furry self...."...That is a unique cool looking little stag number though!

Thanks Mike. The canoe pattern is just a bit large for the vest pocket, I usually carry something smaller. Most of my canoes are mint. However I have a yeller one that gets the call for Sunday duty if I'm not three piece suiting it. I'm planning to acquire either a bone or a yeller butterbean for EDC rotation as well. Since I got the Tidioute White Owl I've been giving old yeller some down time. I'm really taken with that Tidioute. I also recently purchased a Tidioute jumbo trapper that I have been carrying instead of my Parker IMAI lock back on my belt. I really like the 1095 tool steel blades too. If you ever do bump into a squach in the woods, tell him to PM me and I'll give him all the info on the family reunion! Here's a pic of the yeller canoe in my EDC rotation

Mr. Twoshoes, that is one fine looking Northfield. I'm becoming a big fan of GEC knives. You guys on this forum are the ones who got me started too!!!! Thanks!

Old Hunter, that's a fine pair of Jacks to open with!!! The Old Cutler is seriously cool and the CASE is a clasic.

IM, that easy open is so pretty it make me want to go out and buy another GEC.

Hey IM, Kaleb did a fantastic job on the Barehead stag. May have to get him to do mine like that.

Did I mention I started carrying one of the Schrade 863s Rocky was kind enough to send. Just lovin' it. That Rocket J. Squirrel. What a guy.

NICE!

That sounds like a fantastic idea!! You will LOVE IT...
Been wanting to get him to do another one for me too, in fact if I had known Monk was willing to part
with your #56....it would be at MM's right now, that one has KILLER stag on it Perry!!

Thanks IM, Kaleb has done some great work for me over the years and I need to get this one to him. Really like the addition of the linerlock and thumb notches. The spring is not that great on this one I have but it won't matter once he does his magic.

It does look good. ...Trev..that was a great idea.

When I loaded up this morning the Red Imperial went in left pocket like usual.

The SRM 763 went clipped as about 75% of the time usual.

And since the jeans had decently deep pockets this Remington found it's way into right front:


I often think I should try to get a different picture or two of it but not sure I could do MUCH better.....

Today I toted this 5150 CRKT all day.

Looks great,Perry. ....how does it ride?

Heavy but extremely handy and sharp JR! ::nod::It'll do just fine till the Spyderco Manix 2 shows up.

Cool Man.. ..let me know how you like the Manix when it arrives.

My return to smaller pocket knives continues. The larger Opinel #9 has taken up permanent residence in my PDA/glasses case, which is almost always within reach of me. This is satisfying my need for a bigger knife near at hand. An even bigger #10 is sitting in the vice downstairs with the linseed oil settling into the (dyed ebony black) handle. It will still fit into the PDA/glasses case just fine and the poor #9 will need to find another use.

In any event, for the past few days, the Opinel #8 (in the center of the picture below) has been in my RFP. It's nice to have something a tick less intimidating in my pocket, especially since Little League has started up again and I'm prone to be sitting near the field whittling. Don't need a Kabar for that. Anyway, I'm thinking the Opinel #8 might be the most knife on a "per ounce" basis.

Perry, what does that CRKT look like opened up. I think my great uncle had some leg hold traps that...

That Remington is nice Dave! Will do JR! Hey Pinnah, it looks longer

Well heck! That CRKT has a built in bottle cap lifter!! I dunno about anybody else, but I count as useful!

Hey Dave, did you get that 5150? What do you think of it?

Dave...definitely a plus.

Stan...I love it.

Perry, no no. Working on an Opinel #10 currently. If it works out, I may need to thin the herd as I hate analysis paralysis in the morning. Still I dig cap lifters.

Stan, what is that knife? What's holding the blade in the second shot? Could take a picture of the other side?
