Any chance you have a group photo of you guys?

Yes , I have a photo of Most of the guys . I Will Not list their names for fear that somebody who goes into the U.S.P.S. buildings may recognize them . If they want to identify themselves , that would be fine with me . They are all good guys and Forums Contributors and I would " Ride The River " with any of them . That is a saying from the Louis Lamour books by the way .

I carried these for our Show & Tell sessions , which mostly happened before and after breakfast at Cracker Barrel .

And I was Gifted with this Fine Russell Green River knife and sheath from

sunknife . It was put together and embellished by him . He has some skills . Thank you verrrrry much Greg .

It was a very nice day for me . I could not stay as longs as I wanted to because of physical reasons , but those young guys stayed longer . It was great to see younger guys getting involved and I thank them all for being there .

I have this schrade with me today. This is one of the knives I picked up in Janesville yesterday. Do you have an idea when it may have been made?

Had the Spring St. Barlow on me most of the week, didn’t seem right to put it back in the drawer just because I needed some stag today.

English Jack again today. Ended up keeping 22 crappie; also saw a bald eagle and two otters; it was a good day!

Woodsman's a nice find Jeff

Not a bad week thanks buddy

Great pic Rachel, sorry about the work

What a great bunch of guys Very handsome pick-ups there

Interesting find Harry I would put it a little earlier than the 90's my friend, because, by then, there was virtually no mining industry here, and also, if you compare it to the knives I posted in the thread here, and specifically to this example (I have 2 of these), I think it's an older model, perhaps from the 1960's

Thank you very much for helping out on this Jack . I am very happy for it to be older than the 1990's . I am also very happy that the one I found has Bone instead of that Gumfuddy stuff that TEW sometimes used . I doubt that it was ever carried much or even sharpened after it left the factory . I will be changing both of those conditions soon and time .

Scouting today, as far as I’m concerned a Buck is part of the uniform.

Same here, Harry. It sounds like several porch dwellers were there, I must have walked by without knowing who’s who. I’ll have to plan better next year so I can meet you at the show.

Nice old Boker with character Rachell....hope the day passes quickly for you.

I can't say it passed quickly, but it did pass.

Thanks, Jack. The fatter paycheck will be a nice consolation.

Now that I'm home, the old Boker is joined by my frequent weekend carry:

Jakeywax31 · Mar 25, 2023

The single blade spay has to be my favorite find at the show. I was lucky to get some nice ones but this thing just calls to me. Got my beloved damascus lamb ridin with it today.

Carrying this one on Stagurdays until shorts weather sets in.

Yes indeed, good company to hang with. Thanks, Jack. :thumbsup:

Hey! I’m glad you found a couple more to go along with the sleeveboatd you showed us! Very nice.

Thanks, Jeff. :thumbsup:

I kept going back and handling those two knives until late in the afternoon, the dealers took pity on me and the price was fair so I figured it was now or never.

Rufus1949 said:
What an amazing find. Congrats and glad everyone deepen their friendships.

Thanks, Bob. :thumbsup:

Meeting that group of porchsters made for a great day.

I really enjoyed the day Harry and the chance to get a hands on look at the fine knives you and the others brought. I'd ride the river with that group too, although that fella on the far right in the pic looks a bit shady.

Are you loosening up the tension of the back spring? I've got that same Gitano, and while I love it, goddamn the pull on it has to be at least a 9. Full on gator snap. That's one of the rare few slipjoints I own that scares the heck outta me when closing it LOL
