Nice QS…your handles look like a piece of Bacon…LOL

I hadn't thought of that Jamie. But now that you mention it....I'm reminded of the bacon waiting for me in the kitchen.

As usual, everyone is carrying some great knives!

These toothpicks are currently riding in my front pockets. The little one is a Rough Ryder, and the big one is an Imperial.

Nice knives Dan. A toothpick is a classy pattern in my humble opinion.

Nice knives everyone. A great group to browse through.

Nice Barlow!

Old & New today.

Bear of a day yesterday, didn't even get a chance to post my EDC or finish off my Mandarins.

Totin' a Catt single Barehead today, 1/2 stop, Clip and maybe Rosewood? I have a Keen Kutter Dogleg with the same two-tone wood one one scale, I assume that's Rosewood.


*Edit- the book says Cocobolo

AGR Sunfish and a mini pen

Nice, ebrandwein.

Cool Bulldog, QS. I think I have the Fight 'N Rooster version of it at home.

Nice pair!

Those old Utica-made Kleins can take a beating. The pair I own that saw decades of coal mining use are just slightly loose at the pin. I recently bought the Ibberson (Sheffied)-made model with the blue handle, and after ONE JOB pruning a tiny half-inch green tree limb (while it had been used before, this was the first time it had been used hard), the pivot pin became very loose. The knife doesn't even have liners or a reinforcing washer. I've done more with the tiny Japanese-made models and they didn't fail so badly. The two newer ones I have (one is a Kutmaster) are beginning to see some heavy use, and the TL-29 is starting to finally replace my Camillus versions.

Klein moved production overseas last year with the woodgrain Delrin handled models (China, obviously); and quality really suffered. I think Proto still has a hawkbill and TL-29 made by Utica. In fact, that's what Utica themselves told me to look for if I needed to replace either.

Thank you, Woodwalker. Some nice knives from everyone, as usual. The Italians seem to be producing some mighty fine knives, and I'm not sure if the sunfish is very big or the pen is very small.

Thanks! I am a big Klien fan, I used to find used ones in a 2nd hand tool store that had always had a huge, maybe 5-gallon coffee pot going. So, I could get a nice big free cup of coffee and I would buy a used $5.00 Klien TL-29 if they had one in the store, and many times they did I also bought axes and other small pocketknives mostly old Imperials and Colonials and not to mention some great deals on tools. At the time it was about $3 bucks or so to get a cup of coffee at Starbucks, so it was like getting the knife for $2

Covid-19 killed the coffee pot (I guess super-heated water did NOT kill the Covid) and they started looking up everything on Flea-bay. So, the prices started to go up and up. An old axe head went from $5-$10 to $25-$30 because "We looked this one up. That's what it sells for online". So, I stopped spending money in the store.

Thank you GSP, you have good taste.
