Thanks, Harry.

Nice backdrop Bart, nice complementary color. Good to see some love for the Boker Barlows.

Thanks, Todd. I’ve loved seeing them for a while. Glad I finally decided to get one.

Speaking of Boker Barlows, that ironwood/Micarta/Damascus barlow is a stunner

I love seeing your various black shadow patterns

 

[Sacto]

Boker barlow again today.

ARMÉE SUISSE, yes. With a rounded cross on the left side. There's an older version of the stamp with a cross with square ends and the words in italic. The knife is from the period between 1946 (that's when they introduced that style of can opener) and 1951 (when they introduced the modern can opener and caplifter as well as aluminium liners). This combination of tang stambs doesn't help narrowing it down any more, they were used from before 1946 and the Armée Suisse stamp was used on some of the new 50s types. I used to own one of those but have sold it since (the photo at the bottom). That one had a different tang stamp at the back.

Thank you for the thorough explanation. It’s a real treasure.

Locking Knife of the Week is a Case pocket worn Harvest Orange Tribal Lock. When I ordered this knife, I didn't like very much about it except its spearpoint blade. I thought it would be too big with only a single blade and a lockback, but "everybody" raved about them. But once I got it, I thought it was one of the best knives I had. The single blade made the knife slim enough that it didn't "carry big" despite the length, and the lock release in the middle of the knife works so much better for me than lock release at back end of knife.

I’ll be in court this morning so no knives for me until I return home. Then it will be either my walnut covered Bullard or my tater skin Rough Ryder.

I love making walking sticks out of interesting wood. When I get home, I’ll take a pic of a cane I made out of crooked cedar, and topped wirh an antique truck shifter knob.
I do not need a cane, but a long staff like yours really comes in handy wading for smallmouth in fast water!

Even if you’re not carving or whittling, still gotta watch those knives. The coping blade on my whittler (no half stops) closes without warning when it’s just after half open, and gave me a tiny knick this morning.

Good points all around Amir. Thanks. I've made a couple of walking sticks/hiking staffs in my life too, as well as a crooked cane I salvaged from a fallen tree branch back in the 80's. I might need to use that one someday, maybe it's time to hunt up a rubber tip for traction on that one.

And you are so right about the hazards when just handling knives. I have a few that remind me of an alligator lying in wait.

Maybe I'll just stick with my deeskin work gloves for now.

The river photo is awesome. Looks like a very relaxing place.

Hope you heal quickly

Nice 112. Looks like you have a nice walking stick in the works

Thanks.

I have been on thinners for over 5 years now . It is a knife forum but I will say it anyway, keep out of the path of the blade no glove works as well as your brain.

This is what I use on my left hand only. Nothing on my right. It has nice grip and work fairly well for slices. Not so much for pokes. If your knife is sharp (duh) and you load it with potential energy and you slip or the wood breaks the glove will lose.

Ps. I never asked my doctor.

Agreed on all points. Thank you. Maybe I'll just stick with my deerskin work gloves for now.

PS - I always tell my medical people everything. The looks I get are priceless Heh-Heh. Note: I ride pedal-powered mountain bike on singletrack trails with my dog on a B.O.B. trailer - just the two of us. That tends to make them nervous for some reason. I really need to get this rehab in my rearview mirror and get back to living life.

Love this one Nate, glad it worked well for both of us in the pocket again today

Handle scales, long pull, clip main, bolsters, overall form... what's not to like about that knife? And that shield... that shield......
