Totally agree on everything will, Barehead, coping on the correct side In my opinion the best release. I envied your white bone so much it was my main priority for years and finally landed one. Such a great pattern. Agreed on only using that Antique green jigged bone on that release although they used Old green jigged bone on the Tidioute Grinling which to me looks the same. Not sure if there's a noticeable difference between the two but both area nice cover material. I just rec'd the Grinling I described yesterday and it's in my pocket, need to post a picture before days end
Aside from jigging the color sure seems the same

Great stuff Paul, I was glad to hear when you got hold of an Ivory Bone Eureka

Mine doesn't see daylight too often but the colour is getting if anything better! And now you have that Green Grinling? Superb taste you have, like mine

I checked them over, yes the colour is the same but the jigging rather different, the Eureka has more deeply jigged slabs, as I said, be nice to see either of them on a new Barehead release, 15 or 93 say? All steel mind...the Eureka has such an excellent backspring, no gaps AND a wraparound spring :thumbsup:

They are two fine examples Will. I am with you for a barehead.

Looks like it is going to be a sunny day. A turkey came by to get some breakfast. And in the background there’s a deer laying down enjoying the morning. Hope you enjoy your day too. I am going to carry this finely jigged knife today.

A little spey and an ironwood lamb. Hope everyone is having a great day.

@JonMcD Thanks very much, it is a very tidy 33 and I believe uncommon. Called Antique Yellow I think, it has a Winterbottom Bone rippled effect, GEC released it in 2011 and it has the Squirrels & Acorns blade etch and Cyclops tang stamp which was then used on stainless knives.

Thanks, Will

I am drawing a mental blank trying to remember the Cyclops tang stamp.
When I think of Cyclops, I think of the Taylor’s Eye Witness. So many interesting tang stamps ~ Taylor’s and Hammer Brand being two of my favorites.

To my eye, it looks like the same handle/frame just swapped end for end. Not counting the differences in bolsters, or lack thereof. Which feels better in your hand?
Nice pair ~ hard to say which blade I like better.

Jeff, you're probably right that if you bring up yoga pants you'll get in trouble. (But you'll get in even more trouble if you bring them down. )
I think I saw "clevis" used in some WW2 military specs for folding knives.

Couple of very nice knives, Jeff!
Before I read your discussion, I was thinking of the stag knife as a "serpentine sleeveboard pen", but now that you mention it, in some old pattern charts I've seen, that frame shape is called Wharncliffe.

Sad news. I only knew Shannon as a player for the Cards, and didn't realize he broadcast games for 50 years. My parents gave me a "transistor radio" when I graduated from 8th grade in 1965, and on summer nights all through the late '60s, I'd search the AM dial to see what ball games I could pick up. I could often get KMOX (I think that's right), but IIRC, Harry Caray was still doing Cards games then.

Yeah, "vivacious" or "vibrant" or "vivid" are all good ones, but for a Canoe, with its nearly elliptical/oval closed profile, I might try to still my beating heart and go with "voluptuous"!

Thanks, professor! Yes, I remember my first transistor radio ~ I think it was a Motorola, made in the USA. I was always pulling in WLS or WCFL for rock ‘n roll.

It looks that way but it’s actually a cow rolling her eyes at me as I take another knife picture

Well, if that cow identifies as a bull…

I DO know the difference, you know! I can even tell hay from straw!

While I generally prefer single-blade knives over multi-blade, in the stockman vs. trapper debate, I've always been Team Stockman. I've owned and really liked a few different stockman over the years. I come by it honest: growing up several of the men older than me carried stockman (including my Dad, occasionally), but I never knew anybody who had a trapper. A few months ago, somehow, this one called to me from the Case case at the local hardware store. I've a carried it a lot for the last month or so, and I love it. #teamtrappernow?

I love them both. And my analyst says it’s ok, and I should just wallow in it.

Thank you, Bob.

As you well know, I have an unhealthy addiction to these dang single blade speys right now

Got the Klein in it’s belt holster,

and Mr. Voos’s Jackknife with the Blade Forum 86. I really should stick with this trio, and not worry about swapping every day.
It won’t be long until one of the more horticulturally purposed knives will be a neccesary daily tote.

Gorgeous spring day here!
