I see what you mean Gary. They both look like good-looking knives though

Handsome knife!
I know nothing about the sizes of British wrenches/spanners. Does the tool marked "12" have a 12/16 inch opening, or is it a metric size (12 mm?), or is the 12 just a "ranking", the 12th biggest wrench in a set of 20?

How do you like this USA Old Timer? Which model is it? Good-looking lockback!
I'd read somewhere that Schrade planned to make some knives in USA, but I've never seen any.

The Big-un you were kind enough to send me is one of the good ones.
I hope you continue to feel better and better, Jack.

Versatile pair of attractive knives!

Been off to the country house but the rain these past 3 days is something to not behold Brook is rising to an angry torrent, forays into the garden few and swift Seems vital to have a stainless and this neglected CS has proved an ally, gets really sharp too. Forgot that it mimics knives of old: crocus mark side, glaze pile. You also get an impressive handle:blade ratio with this one, nice long blade.

Classy jigging on that one, Will!
The knife reminds me of a Case slimline trapper; is that an accurate comparison?

Sensational knife, LT!

Me neither Gary, we should form a band!

Thank you my friend, over the worst of it now hopefully

I'm sorry your wife has been in pain buddy, but glad the worst is over

You should form a Tenacious D cover band, for obvious reasons!

Jack, you and I forming a band seems crazy, but it may actually be an effective method of self-defense!
Sorry you have to miss your knife show due to your recent illness.
My wife made it upstairs yesterday without me serving as her "spotter", so that's quite a milestone!

Superb old stag multiblade knife, José!

Stockman Sunday

Captivating couple of Case classics!

Yes, RR was here then. But I did not know about him being a musician!

EDIT: was it Randy who was on the production, sound engineer side of music? If so, that explains the expense. My knife budget, such as it was, goes to guitar related gear, and that’s nothing compared to rack mount production gear.

Jeff, I think Randy bought himself some equipment for recording music and would do all the instruments himself and mix the tracks. Toward the end of his time here, during COVID, he had a lot of health problems that kept him home-bound. Here's one of his posts after he came back to BF briefly after a lengthy absence that describes some of his guitar purchases:

I feel lucky to still have my very first pocket knife -- circa 1967 Imperial BSA. Totin' it on this beautiful fall Sunday...

Beautiful old scout knife; that you still have your first knife is fantastic!

Winning pair, Steve!

Wrapping up the weekend with a favorite duo of mine, Barlow and Farmer heading into Monday

I can see why that would be a favorite duo, Paul!

I haven't posted in a while as I had a radical prostatectomy last Tuesday. Feeling better but will be so glad to get this darn catheter removed.
Evening skies prevented this Canal Street bone from popping like it does in the sunlight.

Glad your surgery went well and that you're back to posting!
Back on your bicycle yet?

Hey, nothing wrong with that. I’m certain your old Chicago cutlery knives are much higher quality than my freebie knife I’ve been using for so long. (After I’d been using it for a while, I found the same knife for sale in one of those discount home goods type stores for like $5. So of course I bought a backup.)

Albers Lamb and a #21 Bull Buster (not photographed) for me today.

We bought a set of Cutco knives from the son of a couple we knew from church. The knife seemed like high-class knives to us at the time. I recently noticed that Cutco is based in Oleans, NY, which I think was once the home of an American pocket knife cutlery, but I don't recall which one.

That Albers lambsfoot looks more impressive every time I see it!

5K Qs Yes I think that's true Gary, it's of the Slimline Trapper ilk, similar to Queen's Utilty Knife or GEC's 48 pattern but with perhaps a broader handle? I think its name is Moon Pie Trapper- kind of surreal.... You get a long blade in the frame!

 

[Pt-Luso]

Superb old stag multiblade knife, José!

Thanks, Gary. I'm always looking for new knives and this was one of my recent finds.

Another fab pairing Steve :



Have a great day everyone

Thanks Jack and you as well buddy !

Winning pair, Steve!

Thank you Gary !

, and yes I dropped it in the coffee trying to take the pic. Not sure what kind of oil GEC uses, but it adds a certain something to the flavor profile.

Might be a while before I'm back on my bike but I get this darn catheter out today and plan to start walking again immediately. Thanks for the well wishes.

Cool pairing David

Thank you Jack!

Have a great day everyone

WaBooooom the day! Hope your feeling better today Jack.

Wow, another killer executed knife. Thanks to all had a hand in this one. Great action, covers, and shield.

 

[Slice-and-dice]

Fixed blade today... c. 1959 Widder Solingen Stag Hunter w/ carvings. Tough to classify the taxonomy of these 50's-60's blades from Solingen. Comments welcome with any expertise on cataloging these. Tx, S&D

Your Osage Orange is aging nicely.

Interesting. I’ve never grown them but I’m going to next year! Vine or bush?

Vine.
AKA: Pole beans, cornfield beans, runner beans…
I used 7.5’ T posts, ran a wire along the top, and trellised with baling twine. It turned out to not be nearly tall enough. I had 12’ tall sunflowers at the end of the rows ~ the vines climbed, covered, and ultimately pulled them down.
Next year I’m going back to tall tripods. Cattle panels would be nice, but spendy.

I used to have some amusement with a pocket sized cell phone jammer. That looks like a more legal way to amuse yourself in line at the store.

Thanks for the link, Gary! Never saw that. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever ventured into that Lounge forum.
I have a hard time keeping up in this thread.

Looks like I’m in a similar situation as RR. I have made a bit of $ repairing and setting up a few guitars ~ but it’s usually done free as a favor. (Most recently fixing my pastor’s bass guitar to make it playable).
I have several guitars in various stages of construction in the garage, from a stack of lumber to almost there, and any possible knife money has gone to guitar gear.
No kits from Stewmac, but I have several boxes of hardware and luthier tools from tham…
I had to buy some expensive gear recently to be able to play without an amplifier direct into the board at church, etc. But I haven’t thought of selling any knives, though. Nothing that would bring much $.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Once again, I saw no need to swap knives.
