Really old Jess Horn with some well aged Sambar and an Ebony Stockman factory knife from Tony Bose by way of Case.

Headed to town in an hour or so with stops at the usual places and of course breakfast at the Wagon Wheel Cafe. Haven't made up my mind as to which Bull Nose I'll carry but am leaning toward the black delrin with bail.

This weekend I carried around a new-to-me and absolute gem of a ten-dot mini trapper.

Isn't that a dogleg jack? Don't think it's a mini trapper even though a similar size. Nice knife whatever it is.

It could be a dogleg jack, I'm not certain. The tang stamp is '6207' and that was coming up as a 'Mini Trapper' in Google. The pen blade seems not very trapper-like, anyway.

Super nice!

A very capable combination John, nice start to the week

Thank you, Jack.

I'm liking it a lot better with some character.

Indeed, it is a Dogleg Jack... Good call, Vince.

A few weeks ago, I put away the BF 2018 forum knife I've been carrying and picked up this Case Bose Tribal Spear again. Old pic but doesn't look much different outside a few more bolster/shield swirls.

Vince and John, thanks for pointing out the dogleg jack. I appreciate that. Otherwise, I would've gone through life swearing it was an odd mini trapper. That saves me a few bar fights.

The first 30 minutes with this knife were an utter disappointment. The action was HORRIBLE. It has a half stop but was so gritty it had to be pushed to full open and full closed. I considered returning it. I put some oil in the pivot and worked it open and closed for about 10 minutes. There was a lot of grit in there. Now it has a very nice walk’n talk. Snappy action with flush back spring in all 3 positions. The bolster to cover feels seamless. Very glad I gave this one a chance. I compared it in size to my GEC 15 and it’s slightly smaller. I suspect it’s in line with the size of a 14, but I don’t have a 14 for comparison. Really like the Sherman Damascus.

Winkler belt knife on deck as well - yard work day.

And you'll need a Ka-Bar for those!

Today, I have a brace of Case....

The '83 model 6292 big Texas Jack in real jigged bone, and the '73 model 6244 in fake jigged bone.... the '73 pen knife is a single spring, and it just practically disappears in the watch pocket, yet it has big enough blades to be very useful... almost like a "crossover" between a large knife and a watch pocket knife.... it's sleek....
