Wandering around.
Case Trapper Mahogany Jigged bone Carbon
Beard & Owl Slip

Love it!! I picked up a Mini Copperlock in Mahogany a few days ago. After seeing your trapper out in the wild, I think I'll have to complete the set. Sure is a sweet color!!

Well it’s September. I know it’s still a couple weeks until astronomical Autumn begins but metrological Autumn started the first. I try to save my stag for fall, winter and phase out in spring. No particular reason I just associate stag with cooler days. So for the first Sunday of metrological Autumn.

Running late today. Can't stay long. Sticking with a Buck 501 Squire in a belt sheath today. No breakfast today - gums swollen and sore - chewing/gumming out of the question. No lunch either - maybe a couple spoon fulls of Jif Creamy peanut butter and let that melt in my mouth. Cindy is preparing a thin soup for me for dinner tonight. She'll include meat, onions, celery, and what not in it but for flavor only for me - no chewing/gumming. Maybe soak some saltine crackers as they pretty much turn to mush once they soak a bit.

I have the sodbuster also it is sweet

 

[Rufus1949]

I’m in love with this mammoth and the subtle hues of blue all over it. Looks like it came out of the frozen muck at The Boneyard

Thanks Jack. Hope your afternoon is a relaxing one.

Thank you Bob

Got a coppersmith Kabar barlow and the camel bone lambsfoot riding in the pocket today.

Two beauties there buddy

ol' George's long running Sheffield company makes one heck of a good congress. This one is 3 3/4ish and covered in, what I think is called, "bex".

Both this one shown and the smaller 3.125" one I got last week are excellent users. I know Wostenholm is still in business in some capacity... But can't figure anything out about it from the internet.

Bexoid Rick, Sheffield cutlers still use the term for similar plastics. Like all Sheffield cutlery firms, Wostenholm declined after WW2, and ended up being bought out by their long-term rivals, Joseph Rodgers, then in turn by Richards of Sheffield, then by Imperial, followed by the short-lived Meteor Industries, though both Rodgers and Wostenholm were gone by then. Following that, a company called Eggington bought up a lot of the old Sheffield names, including Wostenholm and Rodgers. They use those names on knives today, but they are not the same as the old Sheffield cutlers

Thanks Jack! That would explain the lack of presence today.

So... Rogers and Wostenholm are just names.... Wrights is not the original company.... What about TEW? Same?

I thought so. I'd buy it.

Actually I got to church and found all these in my pocket.

Ludwig Groten, Macero (also of Solingen), Utica, and Sword Brand/ Camillus(Sword Brand stamp on one side, four line Camillus stamp on other side.

I passed on the Groten once because of the broken blade, but came to my senses before anybody else did. Five bucks for a pristine main blade and a perfectly good copingesque blade.

Seems to me you could grind that into a cute little sheepsfoot blade?
