Wonderful knife, José! Artistic blade etch and attractive handle! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:



Jack, the Remington is an excellent knife, but the Winchester definitely is lacking in "build quality."
Jeff, I meant that those two canoes are "good old American brands", but like Schrade, the names now belong to companies that have the knives made off-shore. I think the Winchester is especially misleading, since one tang stamp seems to indicate US manufacture with "Winchester Trademark USA"

but on the other side of the tang we have a model number and true country of origin:

Thanks for the feedback, Will. :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


I think the searching you did was time well-spent, José; it's a winner! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


You're welcome, and I hope you get back on 2 wheels ASAP! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks, Jack. :cool::thumbsup::cool: She's getting around fairly well on foot in the house now, but I think I'll be her chauffeur for at least a couple more weeks when she must go anywhere by car (doctor, physical therapy, vet appointments for dog, Covid and flu and shingles vaccines).

Glad you found the info about Randy of interest, Jeff. :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
I know what you mean about the challenges of keeping up! I spent quite a while as a new BF member without ever posting or even regularly scrolling through the Totin Today thread. But I was probably a participant in many more "short-lived" threads in those days. Once I tried participating daily in the Totin Today thread and the Guardians of the Lambsfoot thread, my BF "obligations" became much tougher to keep on top of. (In fact, I finally gave up being active in the Guardians thread for quite some time now, much to my dismay. :()


Terrific trio, Jeff! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: The spey blade on the Case trapper reminds me that I find many situations in which I'd like to use a serrated blade, so I'd like to put a "category" into my rotation for Serrated Knife of the Week. But I have only one folder with a serrated blade that I can think of.


Handsome trio of Half Moons, Mike (or handsome 1.5 Moons)! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
Is the bottom one horn or some kind of acrylic?


Thanks for teaching me something, John! :cool::cool::thumbsup:
You have some very small spanners there; 12 mm isn't much wider than the width of the end of my little finger, I think.


I'm pretty much worn out just reading about it, Mike! :eek:😲:thumbsup:


Your Winchester stag whittler is wondrous, Jim! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


Thanks, Bob; I'm quite fascinated with my rotation myself, and welcome your fascination, but we may be an "odd couple" here at BF in that regard! :cool::thumbsup:🤓


Glad you like the medium stockman, Chris! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: I came to BF as a multiblade pocketknife guy with little use for (or experience with) single-blade knives, but I've come to appreciate the charm of a single blade (starting with a Sodbuster Jr). My chestnut medium stockman, with square bolsters, is a pattern I'd probably not have purchased if not for its chestnut jigged bone covers. (Mine also arrived with substantial blade rub, which is apparently common for Case stockman patterns, but it irks me.)


Congrats to you and all the other members taking delivery on their new 2023 Forum knives! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Thanks, JJ. :)


Outstanding pair of knives, Jack! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Cherish the Churchill (even in nonstandard colors)! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks, Todd. :) They certainly did have a series like that, although I don't remember what patterns were included. Here's a photo of the box in which my lady leg knife arrived:

And speaking of "lady leg", here's what my wife's right knee has looked like for the past 2 weeks. We're hoping the staples get removed Tuesday.
I asked if she'd like to keep the staples until after Halloween, but her reply is inappropriate here.

12mm is common for Japanese motorbikes over 13mm more commonly used elsewhere.


My right knee had stiches and my left staples like your missus.

When I was drunk once a young lass said I should get a barb wire tattoo to cover it up,good job everything was closed or I would have gone ahead to impress her. 😁
 
Had this Northwoods combo with me on today's long hike with the pups. Man, I absolutely love this time of year!

Thanks Bob,
The wife is waiting impatiently, loves tomatoes. I staggered them so we should get a good supply fingers crossed;)
I'm hanging out for my jalapenos, cost around $28 $29 a kilo at the shops.

That's a hefty price for Jalapenos. What are you doing with your homegrown ones? I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with the Fresno chilies my wife grew for me

LOL! :D I've got similar staples over my right knee. When I went to the hospital to get the staples removed, they couldn't find the remover (not much different to an office staple remover), so I offered to take them out with my knife! :D :thumbsup:

I took my new/old CJ out for its first bike ride today.

The girl gave me a doorstop of a slice of cake. 🤭

I think the handle is caramel coloured bone,its pocket worn but you can still see the cross cut (just).

I am starting to really like this little Richards knife, it's good in hand and pocket, and quite capable. I will be doing a bit of painting for the rest of the week and will put the cap lifter to the test, I will take the regular can opener as backup. I don't want to hurt it. I must be going soft. If it has a good week More TLC might be in order.
