Often an Ebony boys knife. But not currently.
Looking for the magic penny!

John, I'm glad to see you enjoying these fine knives!
They are addicting for sure. The #71 is one of my favorites, a nostalgic pattern perfectly executed! The #25 make for great pocket companions, I use mine as a secondary knife, but it's got a lot of cut under the hood.

I've added my #81 stockman to the mix.
I have a lot of knife on me with the #73L in my front pocket and the stockman as back up in a watch pocket. It's nice to have choices though!!!

This one today.
Figured now is a good time to get it rotating. Not much work to do locked inside, hiding away from the snow.

Nice bone on that 73, johnny!
I carry this one most days. It's a tough one to kick out of the pocket!

This one split my thumb open yesterday....
I wasn't paying attention when I was opening a package and I forgot how sharp I had this thing.

The #47 frame is a perfect for a pruner type knife, it's great with a wharncliffe too!!!
