I have lusted for this knife since seeing a picture of Steve's last year. The high aftermarket prices dulled my desire for it, but this challenge reignited the fire  :D
 
I managed to find this one at what I believe to be a reasonable price and jumped on it.

Nice Bullnose! Congrats Adam  :like:

Day 29

I'm going tiny again... this time I'm carrying a Buck 375.  Like my Toothpick, this is also made in China, but it doesn't seem cheap at all.

Here it is next to a 58mm SAK for size comparison.

That looks nice Rich  :2tu:

Day 29

One of my all time favourite Sheffield knives; big old spearpoint from Lockwood Bros.  It's bigger than my usual carry habits but it's a great knife none-the-less.

Gareth I sure do like that Lockwood Bros................. :like:

I realized, I don’t think I posted a single Girl Scout knife this challenge.  I think I’ll finish out the challenge with a few of my Girl Scout knives, especially some of them are thanks to members either through gift or notification.
  The lighting doesn’t do the scales on this Utica Girl Scout justice.

Trying to decide if the Copperlock or Triballock gets duty today.
That's a good problem to have. Which one got the call?

I remembered long ago I asked on this subforum what brands to collect, and I was recommended Camillus amongst a few other brands.
Camillus made some excellent knives (yours included). If you haven't gotten yourself a 72, I highly recommended you do. A 72Y sits very high on my want list (but they can get pricey).

One of my all time favourite Sheffield knives; big old spearpoint from Lockwood Bros.
:like:

Day 29

For the penultimate day of the challenge, I present this Colonial DC4602. I bought it simply because it was cheap (I think it cost me less than $12 out-the-door). The edges could use some work, but I'm more than happy with it at that price.

I have something special ready to be shown tomorrow! :popcorn:

I know.  How could I be so remiss.

As a bonus, here is a picture of all the Utica Girl Scout Knives I own with an Adirondack Mountains bandana.

For those interested, I also thought I would share some nostalgia and connections to highlight the significance of the picture.

Growing up the Girl Scouts was a very big part of my life starting when I was 8 years old.  My Dad presented me with my first knife, a Utica Girl Scout knife, following my first Girl Scout camp.  I grew up not that far from Utica, NY which is where most early Girl Scout knives were made.  Girl Scout camp was one of the things I loved the most about the Girl Scouts and a big reason why I stayed in the Girl Scouts as long as I did.  One of the best things about Girl Scout camp was the backpacking trips into the Adirondack Mountains, which were amazing.  Those backpacking trips stimulated a lot of my love for the outdoors which I was able to pass on to others.  The Girl Scouts and achieving the Gold Award (Girl Scout equivalent to Eagle Scout) helped me to get college scholarships to include a Navy ROTC scholarship.  The Navy ROTc scholarship led to my Navy commission.  I spent 20+ years in the Navy, which is a big part of who I am today.  Also, if it wasn’t for the Navy, I would have never met my wife. 

So in summary, a Girl Scout knife from Utica NY given to me in 1980 after a week of camp in the Adirondack mountains can be linked to the person I am today and why I am on this forum.  Isn’t it funny how things work!

I too quite like the Buck 3xx series, and remembered modding one of them, since the tip was a little proud.  It is always an easy carry.

Day 30   :woohoo:

 Well, it's certainly been fun, though the extra challenge I set myself of not carrying the same knife twice in the month has been "interesting".  It forced me to carry some knives that I don't habitually go for, but I sure have missed carrying some of my favourites.  :D  Buying 2 or 3 new knives and only being able to carry them for a day has definitely been tough.

So for day 30 I'm carrying one of my top penknives; a "Foreign" made knife from the early part of the 20th Century.  "Foreign" was a euphemism for "made in Germany" when that wasn't a great selling point.  It came to me covered in rust, all but seized solid and with a good amount of lateral play on the main blade, but with a bit of work it's just a pleasure to hold and use. 

Well done to everybody who has taken part.  If I didn't get round to liking and commenting on every single post I am sorry, but be assured that I definitely enjoyed them all.  :salute:
