Did you go to fiesta this year? I recently moved 75 miles north and finally abandoned Gloucester
Lucy my new daily coffee pal, after a face to face encounter with the other 6 or 7, Lucy is the only one that ventures alone
Pete
Do you have a family photo of all your case red bones? They are stunning.
Todays harvest. Not sure how I will eat them yet but we will come up with something by supper.

How is Case not able to produce a scale color like this anymore?
They probably used agent orange, lead or some other cancer causing chemical to achieve that color.

Humppa,
Nice assortment of knives and watch - the only problem I have found with the pocket watches, they want to compete with my knives for the watch pocket.
Robin - those are really excellent knives and they look swell as a group! I say the same thing to self all the time!
I have heard many tales of why, from old timers I know and over the years. The one I like best is that one of the bone dyers got laid off or fired, during the bankruptcy years, and destroyed all of the color formulas, as he departed. Actually, those rich red bone colors did seem to disappear from the market during that time frame. It is probably not true and Justin is probably closer to being correct.
Justin and Christian - I love those Charlows! :thumbup:

Thank you Sam and still likin' your one trick Pony.
It is a 1970 (ten dot and the first year of the dot dating system) Case red bone Copperhead - extremely hard to find in such pristine condition and with that kind of red bone. It will remain one of the privileged few that will remain pretty much unused, as long as I own it. I have many many nice users - maybe this one would be more to your liking - it is a 1971 red bone equal ender:
Here are 4 recent arrivals, someone stop me please

I say the same thing to self all the time! No Justin - you remind me that I need to remedy that.

Thanks Primble
That is true - they even make nice little draw string pocket slips for them - as well.
I said that, but, my old pocket watches are pretty darn special to me, as well as my old knives.

There are three types of red colorants.
Iron oxide - which produces dull reds
Organic reds - These are not as stable as inorganics, and the colors are weaker.
Cadmium red - These are full bright reds, but have mostly been withdrawn due to the toxicity of the Cadmium.
There are a lot of chemicals which were common prior to the the early eighties, but which have since been withdrawn because of toxicity. The end product was safe enough, but the workers who worked with those chemicals often paid the price.

More seriously - Frank - that was a good explanation of the red dyes - I wonder why my newer model car is such a beautiful Crystal Red tint-coat - wouldn't you know it - or was your explanation just for dyes and not paints ??

Here's a Schrade stockman that Andi was kind enough to give me. He also gave me a Rough Rider congress for me to try out knives with 3 and 4 blades. I don't have any good pictures of the RR yet, but the smooth orange bone on it is beautiful. The color almost looks fluorescent. I'll write a little more about them along with more pictures in another thread.
Thank you again for the knives Andi.
