Alot of shop time today.....

Working on finishing up my Straight Back Farmer.
Still need to sharpen, clean up & add maker's mark, and make a kydex sheath, except maybe I should get a proper leather sheath made???
Open for suggestions.











 
These BH Case knives with S35VN looking great and on paper a vast improvement in performance for sure. How is the F&F? Better than the standard runs?

Fit and finish seem ok, there was a big red goober on the pile side for some reason, it didn't look like polishing compound as it was adhered quite strong and had to whittle it off the scale. And speaking of scales, these bone covers are odd to me, the jigged areas have soft fluffy stuff, almost like cloth, you can carve that off as well to knock down any areas that are sticking up. The blade is pretty nice, the notch does have some sharp edges while the blades edge needed to be sharpened up, which it took an edge nicely. The knife came with a braided brown leather lanyard and that bolo tie thingy, but I opted for a little longer lanyard and used the bolo tie clip at the end of the diamond knot, it just has a pinch type attachment, hopefully it will stay put!

Thanks for those details. I was thinking of getting that backpocket and the sod buster but might reconsider. Appreciate it.
 
That isn't a boring knife.
Haha..... Thanks.
My style isn't for everyone it is a bit outdated....
But I think my goofy looking handmade hardware adds a bit of extra flair.
That block helps, since I don't have a lathe.
I might do a write up on my squeezer block, it holds, and sizes up the aluminum rods for cutting, scribing, drilling, CT'SK and tapping. Otherwise I could Just buy the hardware like everyone else.....😅😅😅😅
 
Found this 1930's Remington RS3333 Scout-Camp knife down at the Rags to Richies Antique mall Wednesday. Some might remember the nice old Russell knives I found there a while back. This one checked most of the boxes for me ..... strong snap on all four tools, nice full blades, bone with no cracks, and a good price.
I called it my last year to be in my sixties gift from Elijah J. 🐈‍⬛ 😊
Not much more than an alcohol swabbing, clean up with steel wool and oil. I like the way it looks for the kind of knife it is. 😊

I've been totin' it the last three days. I might eventually clean it a little more, but, kinda doubting that I will. Reserve the right to change my mind though.

That is a great capture Mr.P. It cleans up well too.😃
So do we wish you a happy birthday also?

I pm'd Elijah J but he did not get back to me.😁
 

As the family’s cook, I am always willing to experiment on my victims. I mean wife and daughter.

This recipe sounds good!😉
That recipe sounds easy and tasty. That might be one I try as well

Nice looking knife. That knife calls for a leather sheath to me.
