  1. Wet Dottle

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Today I opened one that I haven't smoked in many years. Over a decade, for sure. It is a tin of Rattray's Black Virginia from 2004. The tobacco is black and it smells like plump, sweet raisins. I'm surprised it shows no trace of sugar cristals. I don't remember how it tasted fresh, but this one...

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    So many beauties in this thread. I haven't bought a pocket knife in many years, as my interests have veered towards other things and my collection is ample enough to have kept me entertained in my daily selections. Another one I like very much is this one by Jerry Halfrich, small and easily...

    Anyone carrying something special for Halloween? This year I'll be away from home and won't be giving candy. But will be carrying something pretty and not scary: the Case/Tony Bose collaboration pocket knife in the Norfolk pattern with Mother of Pearl scales. Life is good.

    I was a bit of a Spyderco fan boy for a long time. Used to work 10 minutes away from the factory outlet store and visited frequently. I bought this Para 2 in CTS-20CP and light grey scales there, the day they brought it out of the production line and into the store for the first time. It was...

    Today, for something a little different, knives used for piping. From top to bottom: my plug knife (not the most adequate for the job, but that's what I'm using for now); my pipe reamer (just an ordinary clam knife); and my general use pipe tool (after great efforts to have it clean and nice for...

    Lately I've been toting this Spyderco Delica with green G10 covers, which would look great if not for all those holes for the pocket clip :(

    I posted this one last week, but the post has been deleted, so here it goes again. Slipjoint from knife maker John Lloyd with micarta made from a mesh of copper wire and what looks like burlap. This week I've been carrying a different knife, but will post it here later.

    Kifemaker Tony Bose used to collaborate with Case to produce some very nice high quality slip joints. I got a few and today I'm carrying one of them. I think the pattern is called coffin:

    Villiger After Dinner. Don't know the date, but I would say it's recent. Quite alright for a change of pace from my usuals.

    Here's a little Spyderco Rookie. Light and unobtrusive, just the way I like it.

    I'm not sure when I bought this. It was before the pandemic, but after GH&Co reformulated it. Oh! How I miss the old Ennerdale...

    That is an unknown brand to me. It looks great and I think I have to check it out for myself. Thanks for posting. @bluegrassbrian I think the Nilakka is too fragile to be be a really useful EDC knife, but it looks good for those days when you're surrounded by daffodils, if you get my drift ;)...

    Robert McConnell Scottish Cake from 2010.

    I'm keeping with the ivory theme, but this time in micarta: a Lil' Nilakka from Spyderco. This was a limited issue knife and mine is marked 520 of 1200.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    This is a tin of Friboug & Treyer Vintage from 2014. Very tasty, if you ask me...

    I've been sticking to the ivory themed EDC with this custom slipjoint from knife maker Zoe Crist. He married the ivory and damascus very well in this little jewel, I think.

    The weekend is here, but this time I decided to go a little sophisticated: Great Eastern Cutlery slipjoint with ivory and fancy liner work.

    It's Monday and I think it's going to be a good week. Carrying a nice custom slipjoint by knife maker Jim Dunlap.

    Like many, I am also a fan of the iconic Spyderco Para 2. I carry this one occasionally because it is a special edition. Steel is CPM S90V.

    B&M Find: Radice Oil Cured & Twin Bore (info?)

    Upon further looking at the OP's pics, the stem looks unusual. The common Radice logo consists of two longitudinal dots, while the twin bore stems had two dots placed transversally. Maybe this is one of the earliest twin bore versions? Is there a dot on the other side of the stem? Would like to...
