I thought the pink might be copper, but, when I saw that pink snake slithering across the blade, it left me scratching my head !
Can you tell us what you did to it ?

You’re correct it’s copper. The knife is made by Jeff Pearce, copper san mai 1095 60 hrc, copper pins, shield and liners. The covers are micarta westinghouse 1-2-3 red. In the light the covers are a bit burgundy. I have been liking those Boker Barlows with the copper liners and bolster and I didn’t have a swayback and I’m a sucker for the bling. Thanks for asking Primble.

What about the pink on the blade ? How was that accomplished ?
Interesting knife !

Nice looking knife.
Granny's sounds like a great place for breakfast.

Thank you and it's currently the best place to sit down and have breakfast. Just a small little diner, on the oldest street in my state (with a historical sign to prove it).
Daniel Boone likely traveled down that street to the old fort he frequented. There's a sign for that too !

Seems like everybody in my state sees something you have that is old looking and the first question becomes "how old is it ?" Probably the same thing across America is my bet.

Nicely photographed Mr P

Thank you Mr. Jack. Hope the heat is about over for you.

After spotting Jack Black 's new French beauty I grabbed these two relatives.

 

[JJ Cahill]

That bone is superb Great to see those two together

Thank you very kindly, Jack!!!

Have a great day everyone I'm carrying my Hartshead Barlow and the Alpin that Âchillepattada gifted me recently

Outstanding pairing of midweek jacks, Jack; your new French beauty has one of the coolest blade stamps that I've seen!

The pink on the blade is a copper layer. I wonder too exactly how it is done. Beats me. It looks like a layer of 1095 with a thin copper layer on the inside, another layer of 1095 dead center then a thin layer of copper under a layer of 1095. 3 layers of 1095 and 2 really thin layers of copper. I have little idea of which I speak though. I will be searching the forum in a second and hopefully I’ll find out.

Many thanks JJ, I find it very practical

Same as yesterday, for the morning. Got the display stand done yesterday. A place for a fixed blade or large folder, and room to lay a few folders.

Swapped the 75 out for my yellow 54 trapper for the afternoon.

It’s been hot today, but these two have been easy to carry.

Ah, the hotel shot, looking good John. Hope you’re vacation is off to a good start.

Thank you, Todd.
I promise to take better pictures tomorrow.

Safe travels John

Thank you, Jack.
Finally reached Anaheim.

Nice! That’s a QUALITY knife and a heck of a good CHOICE.

Thank you, Jon.

That’s a good one for sure!

That's what I would call a good day sharing life with old friends. Those types of businesses are getting few & far between.

You and me both Tim.

Great story well told. Thanks for the smiles.

You are very welcome Dwight, glad you enjoyed it.

Small Town America is great. Always a bonus when you leave with garden fresh veggies

It sure is!

Heartwarming tale Todd

Thanks Jack.

I love stuff like this. I've been getting my hair cut at a one man/one chair barber shop in Tennessee. The last time I was in there the mayor was getting his hair cut, and a cop in uniform came in to get his cut. A couple of other guys came in and everybody knew everybody, and where everybody was hunting, and who was buying what property, etc., etc. The barber has a loading press in the corner for those slow times, and a Chihuahua that makes sure everybody is OK before returning to his bed under said loading press. Basically, it was Floyd's barbershop from the Andy Griffith show
Warms my heart that these places still exist
I had this pen knife in my pocket, the last time I was in - shoot, I don't even know the name of the place. It's on the corner across from the courthouse in Jamestown, Tennessee

Sounds like my kind of place Mike. If we had a place like that around here I might get my hair cut more than twice a year! Thanks for sharing it.

And I've been carrying this slim trapper around today

Love the tree shots.

GEC 66 with its dedicated JohnDF slip the last couple days.

 

[Jon0385]

I love the baseball card/knife pictures, Jon. My son is really into baseball cards and it is a lot of fun.

Thanks. You’ll have to let me know what players and teams he collects. I’ll see what I have

Work carry

Home carry I figured a hot dog shield was fitting for today. Happy National hot dog day

 

[AntDog]

I’ve liked my full size sodbuster for quite a while so I figured it was about time to try the jr size. Got this one in the mail today. Sharp, snappy, centered, no play, she’s a looker too.

Thanks Todd No way I could wait 6 months. I'd be taking scissors to it long before then

Love the #66.

I'm not sure which hotdog I like better?
