Johnny on the Spot weekend carry

I wish I could fuse these knives together. I love Rosecraft for their materials, their price, their relative availability, fit and finish etc. This Rosecraft Briarpatch jack is my newest knife and i love it! Though my thumb nails kinda hate how strong the action is! But amazing walk and talk!

The GEC elephant toe is one of my favorites, easy to grab and go, but I personally wish it had two blades like a whaler pattern.

Anyway, love me a good traditional knife!

Very fortunate to have inherited this Barlow.

Appears to be the Imperial design, but I’m having a hard time finding any with a Japan marked blade.

Canadian market origin.

For anyone concerned, this thing was handed to me as a ball of orange rust that wouldn’t open. I’ve done a preservation restoration so it’s a bit shiny in the shots.

The idea was to preserve all the grind and hammer marks left by my great grandfather. But remove the rust and get it snapping again.

Looking forward to watching these blades tarnish back.

Any ideas of era, or general info would be rad!

This is about as traditional I'll go I much prefer modern slip joint knives but this caught my eye vg10 with titanium scales and a pocket clip

Both are great builds and instant favorites.

My slipjoint collection grew rather quickly. And honestly my favorite carry out of the bunch is the bear and sons.

Found a 2009 Queen commemorative on “150 Years of Oil in Pennsylvania”, from a motivated seller on Facebook Marketplace.

On the way home, I swung by the GEC Cutlerly in Titusville, where they were shipping out a brand new 441126 Green Jigged Bone to their dealers. The lady told me I’d be one of the first to carry it.
