The OFG's Pocket Knife

Post about everything from carrying a handkerchief to manly skills (sharpening a pocket knife, etc), to product reviews of items that may have slipped inder our radar (ie Grandpa's Pine Tar soap). No threads on anything 'new' unless it hearkens to old-fashioned sensibilities and ideals.

Cool that you posted a pic of the yellow OldTimer. I was thinking yesterday about yellow pocket knives. I remember seeing them in store knife displays while "Window Shopping" and I remember thinking, "...why would anyone want a yellow pocket knife?"

Well I have 2 old Ulster Fisherman's Pride knives that are yellow and an ebony Western fish knife that was put together from 2 yellow Western fish knives (Now with ebony scales). I was looking at my yellow knives and my tastes must have matured, cause now I really like the look of the yellow scales on your OldTimer and was wishing the scales on my knives was a little more yellow...

Nice to know I'm not the only one who fiddles with pocket knives during online meetings. Especially knives with firm snaps. Did it just this morning.

I work in a lab. By "lab," I mean a disheveled warehouse with computers, big tools, and lots of wires. I'm pretty sure everyone there has a pocketknife.

Clippy knives are by far the most popular choice. One girl has a pink one. She's cool.

The RR are such great knives and that Trapper is no exception.
