[Ed G]

You can never go wrong with stag like that.

Thank you, Sir.
It was an SFO from CKNet (note the coping secondary), and Mike really looked out for me on this one.

Gorgeous pair!

Thank you! My Dad has carried an 885UH for as long as I can remember. He snapped the main blade at some point a long time ago - so long that he doesn't remember how it happened. He reground it back into a point and put it back in his pocket. He lost it recently and I replaced it for him with the one in the pic. Then my Mom found his old one under the couch and he gave this one back to me - Haha. He would rather carry his old broken one than this minty one.

Another striking capture! Lovely warm handles on those two.
You guys are slaying it today!

Thank you! Your submission today is top notch as well.

Totin two well broken in knives today ~
I think of the Camp knife as sort of a Missing Link. When I first came across knives wirh only the tang stamp HIGH CARBON, I had to figure out who made them, and for whom. I eventually found that HIGH CARBON was the brand carried by Sears, and they were made for them by Camillus during the Baer era. (When Mr. Baer acquired Schrade, Schrade became the Sears supplier ~ their relationship was with him more than the brand. Same with Ulster made Craftsman knives)
I’d thought HIGH CARBON was their pre-Craftsman knife brand. The Camp Knife must have been a transitional knife, because it has the old HIGH CARBON tang stamp, and a CRAFTSMAN blade etch.
The other knife is an ebony scaled large jack.
It has a lot of blade wear, which caused a previous owner to gouge out easy open notches. They are undortunatly quite crude, but they work. All I could do with them was partially make them a little more symetrical and polish them a bit.
Another one that I tried to identify. It’s tang stamp is EAGLE PHILA.

I found that EAGLE was a small short lived company made up of ex employees of NYKC. They acquired factory seconds from NYKC, and in most cases, ground off the tang, and restamped them.
It’s a favorite because I like large jacks, and it’s a hard use knife that takes and holds a scary sharp edge.

We've all heard of Snow Bunnies and last night we had about six inches of Snow Bunnies pass through Alturas. Not to worry. We got plenty of gas and groceries last week but now it's time to go out and face the Snow Bunnies face on and shovel and plow their little butts off the sidewalks, driveway, and parking area. To help me in this "Repel Boarders" exercise, I'm gonna tote my Bunny Knife. Sausage and pancakes for breakfast.

I was once in this prison,no cheeky not in 1790 and not actually a prisoner.

I had to reverse a skip truck in through those double doors,I had to drop the skip down to get in.

There had been a riot not long ago so I was bit worried when the guards started joking about it

Great break down on these two. The shield on this Craftsman has got to be one of the coolest ever for a camp knife.

A lamb and for metal Monday a sheep. Heading to the PO to send back Coon Skinner for an exchange. Just might have to stop by my favorite bagel shop for a breakfast sandwich.

Man, that 25 checks all the boxes! Beautiful stag, sheeps foot, long pull, ringed bolsters, EO cut out …

Wow, that's some cool stag.

Thanks guys. It’s one of my favorite knives that I have.

Two beauties Bart.

Thanks, Todd.

Let the week begin whether we wanted it to or not.View attachment 1981291

I really like that stag spearpoint. It was hard to resist on the exchange a while back.

Have a good week folks!

I agree with the pocket knife perfection. I’m carrying mine today as well.

One of my more fortunate purchases.

Why yes it is...I have visited long enough and did not want to be rude.
I am slowly learning names.

Buck 704 Maverick this week.
I just love how it's like a slipjoint version of a Buck lockback.

 

[Primble]

Nooooo. That looks fine to me.

Who really knows what that knife will end up looking like when it is finished ? Not me. I might put it in the Opinel drawer for a while and ponder on it.

Leaves have fallen, Acorns too..

I like the wooden one the best . ................... imagine that !

Two great knives and the display is excellent.

Thank you Mr. Rufus !

It wouldn't be rude to not use your real name. There are non-member lurkers out there, one must remember. I like nick names, myself.
