Hi Pat

Hello Rick, thank you!
That is a Case smoky valley sunset autumn bone mini trapper, carbon series (carbon steel blades). I have a few knives in that series but this one has the prettiest bone, in my opinion.

this one has the prettiest bone, in my opinion.

It certainly is! Thank you for the reply. I'm excited that it is a Case and not one of the brands made of unobtainium.

This checks all the boxes. Beautiful bone, carbon steel, stockman pattern available..... Plus... Orange hues... Oh boy ..

Yes, I was looking at JLC Reverso’s and came home with the Master Ultra Thin Réserve de Marche. I have a skinny, sinewy, and knotty set of wrists. I have trouble wearing larger watches. I almost always stick to 36mm watches. This one seems to sit well and is comfortable at 39mm.

My Islander Northport, Miyota 9015 Hi-Beat movement, Ceramic Bezel, great lume, clasp milled instead of stamped.
along with a couple of my favorites, GEC Tidioute Esquires and a GEC Tidioute Pemberton

I've been tempted alot recently by the fireball Northport. I need an orange diver and really like the textured dial. The Northport is an inhouse design from Marc as well correct?

You might be able to guess my favorite color from this. Unfortunately there aren’t many traditionals in my color unless you go synthetic.

Yes; it is an in house design. I like that Fireball myself except for the bezel not having lume. I may be wrong but the ones with a Ceramic bezel are lumed and those with sapphire bezels are not. They all have great lume in the hands and markers though.

I do like the bezel lume. Orange being my favorite color would still make me go with the fireball but I do wish it had the lume.
