I really like that Case CC 1990.
I have no idea why metal balls are floating in that pond.
A steel tree ? Oh my goodness !
Always nice to see the first signs of spring and nature's wonders.

Toting these two from Sheffield, gifts to me directly from Mr. Jack Black of Leeds!

Very nice gifts from a generous member J.J. ........... beautiful covers on your lamb.

The Case Bose Bullnose has really become something special to me.

That is a long lead in to bumping into the real Tony Bose version of the Bullnose. The vendor let me hold it, work the blades, and really handle it. I have to thank Gus Sharp here for being my sounding board. As it was the carbon copy of my beloved Bullnose, it really spoke to me.

Realizing this likely was a once in a lifetime opportunity in my hand, I bit the bullet and did it. Funny thing was, the cost was what I would categorize as beyond absurd, but I went to bed happy with the decision and woke up even more comfortable with it - zero buyer’s remorse, which surprised me. I am going to thin out the safe over the next few weeks to make up the dent in the bank account, but these two will be staying with me to my end days.

Sometimes if you want something special, you just have to bite the bullet.
I can see a difference in quality.
Tony used to tout how good the Case-Bose versions and what a great value they were, compared to his custom work. Both are really nice !

Thanks buddy

A handsome pairing Mr P


That's some bad luck Gary I'll leave you this one in my will

Enjoy your Sunday everyone Starting the day with these two, my Hartshead Barlow and Brisa Kephart

Thank you my friend, it's a real shame about the missing images, it's one of the reasons I don't really bother with posting longer threads anymore. Sadly, they are not worth the effort, when the next forum software change displaces the images, and scrambles the text

Thank you Mr. Jack and you just said you are going to leave GT that horned lamb in your new will, which means you are going to have to re-write your old will, which got me to thinking could you please leave me your HH Barlow in your new will ............. please ! I can't find one. You'll probably out-live me anyway.

It is a shame that those history threads get beat up over time. Worth the effort ....... but, not worth the effort.

A definitive pair I must say Mr.P.
I started to see something in the vipers coat ....but quickly turned and ran. Hopefully I was mistaken.

No need to panic when you ‘see something’ in the Viper’s coat … the time to run is when it sees you …

Glad you’re bonding with your new forum knife, and that gorgeous Case is giving me a case of envy.

93 lamb and Camillus engineer knife today.

View attachment 2121119

I don’t care if it has a shackle or not, that’s a fine looking Camillus, Paul!

Had corned beef and cabbage but didn't take a pic. Did however take a pic of our Irish soda bread. Made a little sweeter than the standard recipe, Oh My!

Back to my 83.

Oh my, indeed, John. I do believe I’d prefer that over CB ‘n C, anyway.

These 2 today : 2019 Blade Forums Knife and Lon Humphrey Whitetail

Harry

You’re full of surprises. Where’ve you been hiding that Whitetail? Very nice.

Like I said about Mike’s photo, that’s a sweet backdrop for a knife photo.

I think I like Seafoam Green

Well, the new one below did not ride in my pocket, but it did ride in my truck yesterday and rode home with me today, never far from hand.

I went to the Texas Blade Show in Fort Worth for the last two days, the first knife show I ever attended. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I met some wonderful knife makers, some well known, some rising stars, some nice collectors, and some nice vendors.

As I have been for awhile now, I carried my Case Bose Bullnose and a Hinderer. While I own quite a few, those two are my usual go to choices. The Case Bose Bullnose has really become something special to me.

That is a long lead in to bumping into the real Tony Bose version of the Bullnose. The vendor let me hold it, work the blades, and really handle it. I have to thank Gus Sharp here for being my sounding board. As it was the carbon copy of my beloved Bullnose, it really spoke to me.

Congratulations, and cool story!

Thanks buddy

Thank you Steve, that's an eye-catching combination

Couple of cool ones there Paul

Thanks Bob, I hope you enjoy that thread The old threads haven't been well cared for unfortunately, but there are some good ones worth seeking out Is that an Alpin? Looks like a great knife

Great pic

You're living well my friend Buttermilk is hard to get hold of here for some reason, but I used to make soda bread using cream of tartare as a substitute. It actually works really well, but I lost my recipe in a move some years ago

You're lucky you weren't in Yorkshire mate!

That's some bad luck Gary I'll leave you this one in my will

Many thanks my friend, it's nice to see those two Tykes together again

Enjoy your Sunday everyone Starting the day with these two, my Hartshead Barlow and Brisa Kephart

Plain Greek yogurt is the best substitute for buttermilk.

Broken threads can be aggravating. I wonder if the Mayans felt the same

I thought about something svelte and dapper for church, but nah. These will do again today.
I try to avoid saying “my favorite”, so I won’t say this is my favorite Victorinox. It’s halfstop is not really half. It stops past the halfway point. Weird. But I love this med. lg. size Vic.

I wonder what logo was on the scale before a previous owner scratched it off.

That is quite the dapper pair Jeff.

Question Jeff...do you find the coats, as on the Camillus, tend to shrink?

Thanks Jeff
Its an old aluminum awning. Some of the debris I have around my out building because... you never know when you might need a piece of aluminum
...or a place to pose knives

Thank you Jack..( someone had shellaced the Robeson!!).hope your day is going well.

Oh no! Not too bad thanks, my friend

Plain Greek yogurt is the best substitute for buttermilk.

Thanks for the tip Jeff, I sometimes use yoghurt in pancakes
