That cattle knife is nice looking but the Case Jack you showed off last month is a better looking knife to me. Not sure why, it just is.

I agree that the Case Jack was more photogenic. It is hard to beat the old red jigged bone in my opinion.

However, I do find that I am using the cattle knife more than I did the texas jack. When I was carrying the Texas jack, I noticed that if I was carrying another knife I typically grabbed the other knife. When I did use the Texas jack, I almost exclusively used the main blade, and almost never the pen blade. With the cattle knife, I have been using the spear and sheepsfoot blade quite a bit, and find myself reaching for it more than my modern clipped on my pocket.

Just some observations. I really enjoy both knives.

Agree on the old red bone being photogenic. The cattle knife might be "your" knife

Oregon trapper for the pant utility pocket and the Barlow in the watch pocket for hump day. :thumbsup: View attachment 2142402

Was at my shop yesterday when it sounded like the sky was falling, gonna have to check the roof for hail damage. My truck was parked unprotected just outside as I watched it get pelted from the doorway. Shattered a couple truck window visors and put some golfball sized divots in the hood and cab roof. :(
