Day 13
I carried the Buck 388 Toothpick today but you're all making me want to carry my 3 blade electrician sometime very soon.  :cheers:

Being a Buck fan, I love this knife.  I'm sad that this model is made in China now.  I need to find an older one on eBay.

Great pictures on Day 13 by AWL!

Packed for travel, all knives I have with packed in checked luggage of son’s family.  But, sunrise to day, 14th, did not disappoint, last morning waking to surf, wind and 6:30 sunrise!

Day 14

As much as I like the RR Hedgehog, it's just too large and too heavy to carry around all day in my pocket.  It needs a pocket clip of some kind so it doesn't slide to the bottom of my pocket and sit sideways.

I picked up a Case Mini Copperhead which I am sure will ride in my pocket much nicer.  Here is a pic of it next to my Hedgehog to show the size difference.

Great knife!  :tu:   :like:  I have an old Case Barlow, but I never use it because I dont want anything to happen to it.  I need to buy a new one that I wont be afraid to carry around.

I was going to post the Barlow on another day, but I might as well do it now since someone is interested  :)

I'm pretty sure this is from 1981, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

It looks like a line in this pic, but those are dots on the sides of the "SS".

Is that a tiny toothpick? Hard to tell in the photo.

This Richards is the one I still like to use on a regular basis, even though I own "better" pen-knives these days.
Still a mighty fine knife! :tu:

I'm pretty sure this is from 1981, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
As McStitchy says, definitely 1980-1989. I'd add that it is at the earlier end of that spectrum...maybe a 1980? You'd have to count the dots to be sure.

Day 14

At 4.325 inches closed, this Imperial is a bigger toothpick. It's shown in the condition I received it in (just over two hours before making this post). Haven't had a chance to put it to much use, but I'll be attempting to spiff up the blade soon. Thanks to Cody6268 for sending it my way! :cheers:
