Thanks, Cutty. I'm really digging the patina you got on that GEC.

Dave, that KR Johnson Trapper is really something special! OH

Sweet trapper Dave!

Brian that's some of the best looking stag imo I love seeing that knife

Thanks Gino.
That Stag 73 LL of yours is a beaut as well

I think I'll tote this old well used bone Western 4 inch whittler today.

She's been down the road a bit, but still snaps great, tight, and no wobble. I like it.

nice whittler

Thanks, guys.

Great whittler, Colonel26.

I am digging this one

She could be the one???

Little road trip today, with the Scout in ma pocket [/color]

I wouldn't push her out for eating crackers in the bed

I think I'll leave my Kershaw home (not really, probably in my purse) and opt for this one today....

My first SOG. It's a desert camo Trident.

Isn't that what you said about the last six or eight?


Kasey -- Are you being unfaithful to your beloved Kershaws?

Kasey I'd like to know what your thoughts are on that Trident after you've used it a while. I've owned one for a few years but never carried it.

Gino I thought you already had "the one".

This frame is a favorite of mine, I have several in different guises. Bought this one already broken in making it all the more useful.

hahahaha, Jerry D.! Never! I actually changed my mind. Since the sun is finally shining, I loaded the kids up and we're going to go for a walk.

philco, here are my thoughts on my Trident. My dad bought a "lot" of knives on an auction, and this one was in it. Just a little background on me.... He's a pocket knife guy and I really like tactical knives. Basically, I like something that I can work with. I worked with him for years. He has a produce stand and restaurant. I was cutting boxes, cords, etc.... all the time, so I have always preferred something substantial that I can depend on to hold an edge and have a clip.

This particular Trident is missing it's clip. The blade is similar to the Kershaw Clash that I carry with me all the time. The Trident does not "feel" as substantial as my Kershaw. The handle is a little large for my hand. I am petite (not as petite after 2 kids within 3 years). I have this SOG and a QAD(which, as you probably know is tiny). This SOG will probably be retired into my BOB, but I definitely need to get a clip for it. After falling in love with my Kershaw, I am spoiled to the Speedsafe opening. Although the Trident has a pretty smooth assisted open, it....just isn't the same. The only other tactical that I own that I enjoy carrying due to how it opens is my Spyderco Endura with the Emerson opening. It is vvvvveeeerrrryyyy nice. I generally carry my knife clipped to my waistband but on the inside of my pants. There aren't a whole lot of moms at the playground that can appreciate a good knife like I do. I am an "always be prepared" type, so I am always going to have something on my person.

I'm sure others have different opinions about them, but that is just my thoughts on the it.

Kasey -- Here's a sturdy A/O that you might find fit's your smaller hands. It's a Buck 292 Impulse and I bought it on an impulse so I thought that a fitting name. I too am a huge fan of Kershaw's Speedsafe® and I find Buck's ASAP® to be just as good. (And besides it's Orange! Also comes in pink.) Peek it out.

Kasey;I also love Kershaw speed safe but I was just turned on to Spydico Delica4 she's a flipper from Siki they say the VG-10 is good steel but I don't think it's any better than the steel in Kershaw.Today on the ground blind I carried my X X era Case with my Delica.

Alright I deserved those! LOL

Well she is the miss right now anyway, LOL

Jerry D., that ASAP is very nice!

garddogg56, I have a Delica, too. I'll start a new thread once I load a couple of pics. I have a few Buck tacticals, too, that I would love for you to tell me about. I know that some can be counterfeit, but I believe that these are legit. I would love you to see them, though. One is an Odyssey. One is a large 5" Bravo that I believe is for a leftie, and the other is a Vantage that I am a little suspicious of because of the placement of the anvil on the handle, but it is etched into the clip on the back of the knife.

Give me a few and I'll post the pics in the general forum.

Pics will be along when they come along but....
I have been personalizing my new Kershaw Thermite Blackwash that I got at Academy today!
Swapped the clip with the one off my Cryo which was a wee bit longer. Put it on tip up which is my preference. And only lack Black Paracord to have it JUST the way I want it!

Lots of beauties, here!

Junebug, I'm partial to yellow, myself & the stockman pattern is a favorite of mine, too.
Your GEC is sweet!

Today, I'm carrying a 1972 - vintage Buck 110 and a Case CV Mini-Trapper.
(The 110 came home from the spa, yesterday.)

Nice 110 Bill
JB the patina on that gec is perfect!
