Love the brown bone on the Winchester. The two blade Congress has always been really attractive to me.

Thanks for the comment on the Gunstock. I had fun buffing up the Micarta. It brought out the depth of the burlap a bit. Not as much as on my 47 but definitely an improvement.

Thank you Jon.
The burlap does have a different tone , but compliments the gunstock shape nicely.
 
I've been carrying this combo for the last couple days - a Buck 055 @3 3/8" and a BF Bunny Knife #525 @3 1/2". I carry the Bunny in my keys pocket and the 055 in a belt sheath as shown. The belt sheath came with a Buck Esquire (now known as a Squire) and is a open topped. The 055 slides all the way into the sheath with just the lower bolster showing and is handy to draw yet very secure. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

Thanks, Bob; I'm quite a canoesseur! :)
That stag Mohawk was in a bunch of knives that @LastRodeo bought. He subsequently contacted me unsolicited and offered it to me for a more than fair price IMHO - another example of the amazing people that inhabit The Porch! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


I'd forgotten that you were giving up meat for Lent, rather than "just" for a random month. o_O
I hope you have a protein-filled final meatless week! 😁


Doesn't horrify me, Bob, but it does amaze me! 😲:thumbsup::thumbsup:
I'd have never thought of trying Comet as a knife cleaner.
I should have guessed there had to be some kind of dyeing agent to produce such a substantial color change.


Thanks for the Baby Ruth story, Jeff! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: I'd heard versions of that before, but the part about Babe Ruth suing Curtiss and losing was new to me.

Is the guy in the White Sox cap a former player? Looks like a pic from an era in which I might recognize lots of MLB players, but I can't come up with who that guy is.


Voluptuous pair of vintage knives (and I like the vintage rubber duck, too)! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Thanks for the info, Tyson. :)
I usually don't go for light-colored bone, but I think Case's amber jigged bone is quite attractive.


Thanks, Bob. :) I have a stag Colt canoe, copperhead, and muskrat, and all are very nice IMHO. I don't remember how many patterns Colt offered in stag back when I bought those, but I kind of regret that I didn't pick up 2-4 examples of each back when they were available for $20 each. They would have been great for gifts or trades!


I enjoyed your observations! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
Regarding #5, I'll bet it would not be very difficult to reprofile that pen blade into a straight-edged blade of a useful size.


Stellar stag stockman, Wayne! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Before seeing the "definition" of "Nummit", I'd guessed it might be related to "Summat", but I was wrong. :oops:o_O
I've always liked "minimal spelling" words like I*XL or UNXLD. :):thumbsup:
I had a mustache from ages 25 to 50, probably very similar to footballer #3 in your poster.
First-class knife choices, Jack! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:



3 fantastic stag examples, José! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks for the explanation and photos for your bolster lock Barlow. :thumbsup::cool::cool:
I've definitely never seen a knife like that before! I'm still not completely clear on how it works, but I'm getting a better idea of how it's put together.

Thank you!
Yes, that’s a White Sox player. There was a time when I likely could have named him, but sadly, no longer😜
 
I forced myself out of the house this afternoon.

Went for a short walk in the park where spring was all around.

Then went to view a famous painting in a University/college church I had it to myself which was quite nice.

Paid my respects to those of the college who died in WW1 and turned the page over to April.
The hand writting is absolutely stunning,I read all the names and tried to work out which units they all where with.

Nipped into town as its all very close looking for homeless people.
In the end I gave 5 of them good quality tee shirts and a pair of excellent Vans (no longer fit me) to one chap whose sole was hanging of his shoes.
It was a great feeling as they wher all so happy and appreciative.

The theatre near where I parked my car was where I was an extra in a film with Hugh Grant,Oliver Read,Emma Samms,Gordon Jackson etc.
I was a cavalier soldier who arrested Hugh Grant and Lysette Anthony.
You can see me for about 2 secounds if that...Good pay and lots of free food plus we got to chat to the stars.
Emma Samms asked to have her photo taken with me believe it or not. 😍
Hugh hates the film,I love it close as I will get to hollywood.



9mins 20s in

the director kept saying hold it,hold it but those fake muskats weighed a ton and we all flagged take after take 😁
