First off I have to say this is one of Bf's best long running threads :D

RoseTRIHONE.jpg

As to the care kit included in the book/case:
Nickle silver diamond tri-hone (coarse, medium & fine) that Bruce made from scratch.
Bottle each of honing oil, mineral oil and polish.
The jar contains wax.
The recurring shell theme (jar, tri-hone, sheath button/frog & buttcap on the knife) is a really cool touch, isn't it?
:D
The whole book slides into a micro-suede sleeve.
It can be stored like a book on a shelf, without anything moving around.
But I keep it open where I can pick up the knife. This one just floats in hand, begs to be picked up when I walk by.

Hey there Ebb,

Thanks for listing the items in the Bruce A. Evans Bowie and describing these items and the cool little book-type display!. This knife maker is obviously very passionate about his work. I am going to have to find out a little more about this fellow and his wares.. Again, much obliged.

Anthony
 
Here's my new fixed blade EDC utility. It just got here yesterday. 7" OAL, the spine is a full 1/4" at it's thickest, forged from 1084. A real sturdy little knife.

Is that a Kanetsune Urushi? If so how do you like it and how does the steel perform? Did it come from Japanese Knife Direct and if so how is that company to deal with?

I have been considering a Kanetsune Asobi to attach to my E&E web gear in my deployment bag. (I don't expect to need it but I will be ready if/when the defecation hits the rotary atmosphere oscillator.)

Yes. I use it all the time. It is the sharpest edge that I have ever used. This one is blue steel folded 15x. From what I understand there is one guy that does all the sharpening. As far as maintenance, I haven't had to sharpen it yet. It was a birthday gift and I have been using it consistently since the beginning of March. I can't find the paperwork at the moment (wife rearranged the filing cabinet) so I can't tell you where it was purchased, but most of the receipt was in Japanese. If you get one and care for it, don't abuse then you can rest at ease being backed by 800 years of traditional sword and knife making.:thumbup::thumbup: You would be making a good decision with your choice.
 
This is knife is marked 'Lund 57 Cornhill'. This was one of Lund's London addresses, along with 24 Fleet street. It has a 6.75 inch blade and is 11.25 inches overall length. The scales are checkered horn. Lund made clocks, corkscrews, fancy boxes among other things and was an outfitter. The knife likely dates circa 1880s to WWI.

Hi S-M,
Very interesting vintage fixed blade. Sorry this may seem like a dumb question here, but when you say outfitter do you mean Lund was a Sportsman's Outfitter?

Doesn't seem dumb to me, I was gonna ask the same thing, figured it as a fighting knife.

Riad, that stiff backpocket looks sweet, I think you posted it in the Bose thread, but if not: Congrats and DAMN YOU :D

Here's something you don't see every day, Case kitchen cutlery.

The top one is stamped with a mark that was used between 1930-1945 on only fixed blade knives and generally made by Robinson Knife Co. under contract with Case. The blade is 7" long.

The middle one is a classic Case XX 400-8 (8" blade) pattern (1940-1965) Old Forge.

The bottom one is a special chrome plated presentation knife used to make a big show of slicing of long pieces of roast with one pass of the blade at the end of a grand buffet. :) Case pattern CA 211-14 (14" blade).

sunnyd, yes Mace's utility is convex ground. I gave it a bit of a workout this past weekend and a few passes on my leather hone brought it back to shaving sharp. I think I'm going to like carrying this one!
 
Top one is a 523-6 (6" blade chrome plated), middle one...not sure of the pattern but the blade is 5" long, bottom one is the 557 pattern (3 3/4" blade) I think from the mid 1930s.

Top - old 652 pattern (1940-65?) with bone handle
2nd - 5-FINN 4 1/4" blade (1965-present)
3rd - I think this is another 5-FINN pattern but it isn't stamped. Tony bought this one new in 1966 :) Well worn bone handle.
Bottom - M3-FINN Chrome Sabre 3" blade, I think from 1942-65, normally seen in stacked leather.

You can tell everyone you saw it here :D...a Case oyster shucker, pattern 1300-3 1/2". Stamp from 1950-1964.

Very good then, thanks. Really very interested in this one S-M. I asked because this knife does appear to be a fighting/combat knife and less a hunting chore knife. Its hard to tell from the one picture but the double guard seems to curve a bit at the ends. And its swedge(top edge) looks like it may have had the option to be originally sharpened. Can you tell if it was ever sharpened?. The checkered horn is a nice feature too. Not only for esthetics but for a purposeful sure grip it would afford one with wet and/or grimy hands, so it would appear. If its not to much trouble would you mind submitting another photograph showing the guard and other features from a side, front or back vantage point?
