This isn't ancient, but it's my oldest Case Sodbuster.

It's a nice one Jer

 

[SFO]

This old Case Congress is almost smooth from many decades of pocket carry. It's likely my most precious possession as it belonged to my best friend of nearly 4 decades that was called Home a few yrs ago.

Old friend Friday.

A Winchester from the 1920's, possibly 1930's

Appreciate your kind words my friend. You are so right on that Jack. Was grateful & blessed to walk that long on this earth with such a wonderful soul.

Not one, but TWO Old Friends today

Not one, but TWO Old Friends today

That Queen looks nice. I haven't seen that pattern before.
This old friend had been hidden from burglars so long, it was a complete surprise to come across it.

Must have been my favorite best scout at the time.

Thanks Jer, it's a great size, and a really useful pattern. And it was a gift from our pal JohnDF Great when you find an Old Friend you've forgotten about That's a nice one

It reminds me of my single-blade Buck.
I've put my favorite best scout back under the T-shirts to surprise me again someday.

I think it's just a bit smaller than a Case (Medium) Texas Jack, but slimmer and lighter

It's been an unusual week, and I completely forgot about Old Friends Friday today, so slipping this Joker into my wes'kit pocket

 

[screened porch]

You still beat me.
Not all of this patina is mine, but a lot of it is.

 

[JohnDF]

Very Cool.

Thanks, guys.
My only carbon parer by Case.

 

[Jack Black]

This Old Friend pre-dates my Lambsfoot SFOs, but was made up for me. I used to carry it a lot. In the pocket it goes today

 

[screened porch]

A German carbon blade from a non-participating parts dealer, and a sheath made from Irene's purse discarded in 1978.

That reminds me of this Old Friend I picked up in Sheffield in 1979 Jer

Posting that knife also makes me think of another reason there are so many Sheffield knives without a maker's mark. I met the maker of that knife about 15 years later, and his explanation was "For tax reasons. I don't want to pay any!"
