Great mug with two nice knives.
Thank you sir for the hat information. I like a hat the breathes too. Agree on redhead being a good brand, old-school wise. Not so much anymoreView attachment 2045713
Pros on the hat: comfortable fit. Looks good if that style appeals to you. Very well made with sturdy stitching.
Red Head is a great old brand that I know from their hunting coats and vests. I have a shirt from them that will outlast me.
Cons: Offshore production, in this case Sri Lanka. So the price was low. BUT, and it’s a big but, although it looks like suede leather, it is polyurethane. And it does not breathe. That means I can’t wear it unless it’s cold enough.
In retrospect, I should have kept looking and bought one in real leather.
The Barlow is nice but the stockman is my preference. Both are great looking knives my friend.
Looks like a great lunch to me.

You have your knife needs covered nicely Mike. Have a safe and enjoyable trip.Planning on going to Tennessee tomorrow, so I'll mostly be off the grid for a while. Taking these traditionals with me. I also always take a brass and ebony Buck 110, but it was hanging out with a couple of leathermans (leathermen?) and the non-traditionals and blew off the photo shoot
Y'all have a good week

How did I survive?
I haven't been down there since Thanksgiving. After the bitter cold in December, I'm hoping I don't have any broken pipes when I turn the water on![]()
And I should have waited to post until I captured these photos with Mount Rainier in the backgroundHeaded on a ferry ride today. One of our members may recognize the location. Brought along a @Spikediesel creation in case the ferry breaks down and they need a hand fixing it…

Good luck![]()
Hoping to update later this evening with a big buck
That's good-looking and really interesting. I don't know much about Hubertus, but I thought they were all automatics. Cool to see something else from them.
Thanks Todd. I’m so happy I got it done and am now able to appreciate the knife. It’s such a departure from any of my other slip joints and is fun to use.Jon, the scrimshaw work on Lucy is fantastic.![]()
