Those are fantastic knives.

Beautiful example of a great pattern Bart.

Thanks, guys. Case really nailed it on that pattern and scale combo.

Yeah a great blade shape will “inspire” most makers.

Great Buck!

Looks like SOG took their inspiration for the blade from the Buck 212. I like it a lot! OH

Were staying home today - no Wagon Wheel Cafe so, it'll be eggs up with waffles and Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage for breakfast and short-ribs for dinner tonight. Among others, I'm carrying this Standard Lambfoot custom recovered with Snakewood by Jason Signalprick . It gets far more use than mention by me. Might just make it my slicer for opening X-Mas packages.

Never a bad idea, especially when they looks like those two.
Digging the Grinch ornament, is that a coffee mug in his hand?

I carry the same knife for very long periods, sometimes supplementing with a second on weekends. This makes me a boring porch member. Usually around this time of year I consider a change. Last year I didn’t change knives and kept carrying my 2 blade Congress, my favorite knife by far. Today I made a change, to a USA Schrade 834 medium stockman. This old friend got a lot of pocket time in the past. I acquired it new-old-stock still in the little plastic box. It looks like my storage procedure was sub par with a lot of pepper spots, but the edge was razor sharp on all three blades. I do love old Schrade steel!

I generously coated the Congress in mineral oil and placed it in my drawer. The next week or so will tell me if I am sticking with the stockman for a while.

Always my favorite option, especially if I was the one deciding between those two.

I'm finding it to be a real challenge to stay caught up with this thread for the past several months, at least. So I did a little "research" to see if there's a reason for my constant "falling behind". I counted all the posts in this thread from the first one posted on December 1 to the last one posted on December 22. Then I did the same thing for the same range of dates in 2018. Here are the results:
2021: 1785 posts in 22 days, for an average of 81.1 posts/day (or just over 4 new pages per day)
2018: 1632 posts in 22 days, for an average of 74.2 posts/day (or just under 4 new pages per day)
I was shocked, to say the least! I'd have sworn this thread has significantly more "traffic" recently than it used to have, but a difference of 7 extra posts per day seems insignificant to me. I have to conclude that I'm getting very inefficient as I get deep into my golden years!

Anyway, here are more of the knives I'm carrying this week.
Sowbelly stockman of the week is a cracked ice version made in China by Imperial:


Regular Stockman of the Week is an 897UH (thanks, Dean):


Budget Canoe of the Week is a Rough Rider stag bone model:


Premium Canoe this week is a Case amber jigged bone with CV blades:


- GT

First world problems are real

Thanks Todd. It’s actually a Navy Chief “Challenge Coin” with the Grinch holding a coffee mug that has a USN Chief anchor on it. They really know how to do them up. This picture has the reverse side. Chiefs are known to keep our coffee cups properly “seasoned”. The old school ones anyway.

I'd swear there are more too, Gary! I think maybe I miss a day now and then! That makes it seem worse.

Very cool Jon, thanks for the explanation.

Why's that?
My most ambitious rehandle: Imperial Ireland with rejected Gibson Guitar fret board and my brother's discarded garage door rail. And finishing nails for pins. There's an extra pin in the bolsters because I can't solder to save my life.

I had a hard time with it, mostly because I wanted to keep the original bolsters. Being stamped metal, they dented and malformed easily.
But you had a great idea in making your own out of scrap metal! Nice work.

I may have to try that~ make barlow bolsters next time I take apart a Camillus TL-29.
