Good evening Porchsters,

Late to the tea party today, mostly annoyed with this knife. I love the blade very good steel and super strong W&T, but its one those I have to try and like. I should have sent it back I think, I am right handed and the stag (stag Sunday, i am starting to get the lingo) has the duff scale on the wrong side, whats all that about? another thing is the Nickel silver bolster(with nickel silver pivot) and then they go and chuck brass pins on the slabs. They must have saved a whole 50p there. those little things bring the whole knife down in my view. (climbs carefully down off the soapbox, its a bit high and I have to watch my step)

Should have already had our first frost and instead I’m still getting tomatoes and jalapeños!

Yeah, I did; they’re white Ash——one of the few survivors from an Emerald Ash borer infestation.View attachment 2364830

The hits just keep on coming from this week’s sale. A mini Remington collection is born. All in boxes in like new condition. A 1983 Baby Bullet, a 1984 Lockback, and a 1985 Woodsman. I’ve been after a Remington ‘bullet’ for awhile, but I didn’t expect to find 3!

I believe you can still buy the complete chef knife sets from OKC or individual knives they are very popular

Such a cool piece of history Greg.

Thanks, Todd and I agree.

Great Jack knife!

Thanks, David. The knife shows it's age with the pitted blade steel and scratches but its still going strong.

Wow, that's very impressive

Thank you, Jack. Old time craftsmanship and honest materials often endure if only used for their intended purposes.

Greg, that Bayonne jack is a beautiful piece of history and I'd carry it too! My old Robeson is only 85-90 years old, but I'm carrying it this morning.

And Primble, that dogleg is magnificent!

Nice, Jeff. Your Robeson seems much similar to the Bayonne. I like the oval shield and bare head build.

There’s just something about old knives and old dogs…

Yep I like 'em both as well, Jeff. I noticed your boy Manny in one of your recent post, he looked fit and healthy. Is he getting to be an old dog yet?

Grand ole carry with some rich jigging Greg.

Thanks, Bob. I don't know for certain but suspect years of, dirt, handling and use by previous owner(s) have darkened the recess's of that bone.

Carried the old boy again today. Must be good steel, takes and hold a sharp edge.

This one is Ebony. I guess the sunlight did bring out some color in that picture. Most of the time this one is jet black.

Wow! Can you tell me about it?

That patina is perfect! I know nothing of the maker. Can you learn me a bit?!?! Just keep it simple like you was talking to someone dumb. Because that’s what’s going down right now!
