If I had to choose between the yellow and the orange #71, which one should I choose? Seems like a small matter, but both have their merits.

Just showing these beauties off!

This is the Otter Anchor Knife in a limited edition, exclusive for the german knife shop Messerkontor. It is 1 of 7 small anchor knives in blue.

The handle is made of aluminum nets in blue epoxy resin. The anchor and bolsters are made of fat carbon with fibers of stainless steel. The blade is stonewashed C75 carbon steel.

I absolutely love it. Nicely made and stunning to look at.

Idk I be struggling to figure out what to carry…also only my second time carrying this RR and the finish is horrible blade is sharp…Digging the hawkbill tho..My need to find a GEC hawkbill..

These new 71s are great. Heavy action and slightly more contoured covers compared to my 2017 model. Love the color of these yellow ones too. I thought the orange would be the prettiest but I think the yellow wins for me. Also featuring this ancient 15 which I felt somehow matched the spirt of the new 71. Not sure my why🤷‍♂️

Let’s see your morning starts!

I always hear stories of barn find hot rods, expensive thrift store treasures, etc… Last weekend I went to a small rural gun show that I haven’t been to in years. I asked a nice gentleman if he had any elephant toes and he pulled out a case from under the table then gave me a price I could not refuse. It pays to ask! Case 5 dot 6250 Elephant Toe and Case no dot 62131 Canoe. Both look like they have never been sharpened or used.

I’m straying to get excited about Halloween. It’ll be the boys first time trick or treating. And my first time in decades🤣
Today I’ve got my beloved 87 beaver jigged bone and a new favorite this vintage emerald micarta 78. The 78 is working in nicely and is now pinchable. That’ll earn it even more pocket time.
Be well!

Not really sure why he calls this a Barlow, but he named it not me, so I just go along with it. I do love that all his knives are without visible hardware. This is one of my favorite slippies! That maroonish micarta is to die for in person! His walk'n'talk is always second to none!
