All About Pocket Knives

Thanks KJ, it came much darker, but after sanding it down a little, it brought out the yellow underneath.

2018 pic review. Set out to make folders this last year. Pleased with the results, but looking forward to progressing from here.

I like the tail. Do you make your own?

Yeah, it's my equivalent of basket weaving to maintain sanity. I spend a lot of time in the bush, long walks with my canine muscle missile, camping, hunting, fishing, etc and I can't count the times I've needed a piece of light rope for something. I don't always carry a length of rope but I always have a knife or two on me. A para-cord fob or handle wrap can come in handy. One fob I made like this one ended up as a stringer when the fishing was way better than I'd expected.

Very nice work, Tony! Beautiful!!!!

Decided to go primitive on our walk this morning.

Muffin Head the mighty hunter kept trying to steal my knife so he could chew on the antler handle!

Thanks Squatch. Nice fob on that knife. Likee likee.

Thanks Doc. Much appreciated.

Thanks Tony!

The flint knife was made by a Native American craftsman in Utah. While I have made flint arrowheads and knives when teaching wilderness survival to Boy Scouts and young hunters, my knapping skills are not as refined as that.

Fine photo and interesting knife, but I really enjoyed your dog's description.

His name is Trey but he has several nicknames like Muffin Head and The Canine Muscle Missile. 80 lbs of faithful pooch. He's a great dog! Sorry there's no knife in the pic....I'll work on that.

One of my favorite knives, had it out today for a walk in the woods
GEC 66 Jack yellow rose

Charlie, that dog looks like a muscle missile all right, handsome fella too.

Mike, I can see why that yellow rose jack is a favorite of yours, looks like the perfect pocket carry. Nicely done pic too by the way.

Tony, great picture man.

Thanks Greg. Don't tell him that he's handsome though....his head is big enough already! He thinks he's a lap dog so my recliner gets a little crowded sometimes.

took this pic before the morning frost melted.

Very KOOL shots Mike, Tony and Greg!! Glad I don't have to pick a favorite!! They ALL are!!

Charlie.. Muffinhead needs a spiked collar!!!

One with a nice old scout knife hanging from the ring?

Case size trappers

Very nice stuff, Roofsc. I have never seen so many Case Mops in one photo.

Sunknife - just a few days ago I was looking at the frost on fallen leaves in my yard and thinking what a fine background it would make for a knife photo.

Tony, that is a very well composed photo with the bird band, knife, shot shell and bird. Just seeing that makes me feel like going hunting.

Mike - that GEC on the frost is a very cool photo. Seems like spotting a GEC that has actually been used enough to have a patina is unusual. Great photo and knife!

Thanks for the compliment John.

Thanks Mel, somehow I must have hit a enhanced feature button on the phones camera and it gave the frost a blue tone.

Great ones Roof, Sunknife, Mike that has love and history on it, is that the one you carried for a year straight, or someone else? Really like yellow with deep patina like that. Beautiful shots all. Here's another one. Bushwhacking. Northwoods was on me in tow.

Nice shots Ivoryman! Beautiful Northwoods!

Is that a Tramontina Machete? I can't quite make out the blade stamp.

I picked this one up recently....
