At 75 my favorite saying is..."Growing old is inevitable....growing up is optional".

I try very hard to live by those words everyday!

Good eye, my friend. We decided to have a little fun and build a single blade, (lockback), double, (Improved Muskrat), and triple, (Stockman), with various builds, bolsters, caps, and shields. Fun project with some Westinghouse micarta.

Erickson's knives stand out because he was not afraid to make any pattern and I could tell the lockback and stockman were made with the same tooling. Fantastic set! He needs to make knives again.

He made this on a dare from an image I showed him from an old Remington catalog. No plans, no notes, no go-bys. I forgot about the dare I made, but he didn't and he surprised me with it months later when we met up in Atlanta.

All of his knives are very special to me, but this one is one of a few that are particularly so.

 

[Blues]

Well, since we're all getting a little older, and here I am braggin' on my friend Ken Erickson, he's showing a little bit of seasoning himself...



Love you, brother. Hope you won't mind my sharing.

That pattern, my lockback and the slipjoint versions, were Ken's "Michigan Pen".

Was that name from a Holley catalog??

Charlie, I honestly don't know...and if Ken told me, which he probably did, I don't recall.

Does that mean I'm getting old?

(You don't have to answer, considering I was just about to turn 46 on my "joined" date here. )
