Great pics of some Hacks John! Years ago I had a California Sidecar hooked up with a BMW R100S. It was a hoot as long as the roads were straight but on curves it was a beast to handle. I’ll never forget the first time I took a left hand turn too fast with my bride in the car. The car came up about four feet off the ground and the look of shear terror on her face was priceless! When the car was empty I had a couple of fifty pound bags of sand I’d put in for ballast. Sold it years ago but it was another thing checked off my bucket list.

A pair of fine looking beauties photographed with very cool and apropos backgrounds; your Vendetta is certainly the more dangerous of the two!

This Remington (I call it a Bullet Wannabee) knife has been with me for nearly a year now, but has recently surfaced from my accumulation for some attention. It has also been riding in my pocket for the last couple of weeks while I try to tidy it up some. It was not mis-represented on the aution site, but I was really expecting something different than what I got. It looks to be a second, or maybe a lunchbox knife, and really should have hit the trash bin instead of making it out the door to the public eye. Or is it possibly a poorly executed re-handle? I'm not sure.

The handle scales seem to lack a taper to the bolsters; they are blunted where they meet the bolsters and are quite proud of the bolsters on either side. The handle rivets and backspring pivot pin seem to be reversed in regard to material used, none of which has been properly installed/finished - sharp edges around the edges of the heads. The same holds true for the lanyard bushing. I've hand filed, sanded, and polished them into a nearly useable state.

The blades look to be made of stainless steel, yet they both have a generous amount of pitting. All others I've found on-line of this pattern, have a bullet shield, and are listed as having 440 Stainless Steel blades. Also, somebody over-polished the blades with a power buffer. Both blades are extremely lazy ,and neither snaps open or closed worth a hoot. No Bullet on the handle either. One other item of significance... the jigging is different than any othe R1173 I've found on-line since last August. Pile side stampings is as follows: Clip = 1983 Spey = R1173.

Can anyone answer the following questions please?
Would this likely have been a Camillus built knife?
Would this be classified as a Baby Trapper?
Would that Clip blade be a Turkish Clip?

I like the style, feel, and heft of this knife, even with all of its faults, but am very glad I didn't pay much for it. Any and all input will be appreciated.

Would that Clip blade be a Turkish Clip?

Looks like a "Turkish" or "California Clip" to me. However, like Sgt. Schultz used to say: "I know Nothink!!!" so please take my opinion with at least 3 or 4 grains of salt.

Gorgeous K'roo Bob, and your Boker Barlow makes a good-looking partner

Did not know my pose was going to be like your's Jack. Imitation is sincerest form of flattery?
You brought out the beauty of the Albers there.

Many thanks my friend

We are in for our first warm days of the year here in the City by the Bay! For the next 2-3 days there will be an off shore air flow instead of on shore. In the last forty years it has never gotten above 80 degrees at my house. For the next few days it will hover around that then the high pressure will break down and the fog will roll back in. Giants play later ️! Keeping me company will with a nod to Stockman Sunday the Modoc Special and the usual lamb. Have a great weekend folks!

"Very nice"?

not sure, just a tool, made from wood, one end is in hand shape, when people's back feels itch, use it to resolve it.
so called "very nice"?

Thank you kindly.

The HHB speaks for itself Jack, but your Remington is a nice balanced addition to the lamb.
