Good insights on knife guards!
I picked this Bowie up at a little Ozark gunshop back in the early ‘80s for my truck driver’s weekly lunch budget of $20.
All I know about it was that some local guy forged it, and stamped 1981 on the blade.

I made the sheath before I knew how to stitch leather.

I did a lot of polishing on the blade and cleaned up the finish.

Thank you Jeff, that's an interesting knife, looks like that feller knew what he was doing :) Nice to see a bit more of it my friend :) :thumbsup:
Are you referring to me, or the duck? Sorry, Jack, sometimes, I just quack myself up...🤣
🤣:thumbsup:
Thank you very much for your kind words, Jack!!! I've been getting a bit overwhelmed, as of late, with family matters. o_O :thumbsup:

Those two beauties look mighty fine, perfect for your Sunday best! The very unique Lamb you had with your Svord on Saturday was super cool, as well! :D:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
So I understand JJ, you have to get your priorities right though my friend :) Thank you very much for the kind words :) :thumbsup:

Hanging onto my Hartshead Barlow today, shown here with one of 3 postcards that Johnnythefox Johnnythefox included in the recent gift package he sent me :) Also got a Random Tuesday fixed blade, a collaboration between Boker Plus and Midgards Messer, called a Little Dvalin :thumbsup:

Great pair, GT!! That combo should get it done.👍🏻
Thanks, Chris. :)
I have a few peanuts, and they're in my rotation schedule so I carry them, but I seldom use them. They're a little smaller than I like.

Looks like a fine knife! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
Who made it? Is it German? What pattern is it?

Really like the color and jigging on your Sodbuster Jr.! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sunshine, 35 degrees, no wind…perfect morning. Have a great day everyone. 😎👍View attachment 2395327

Do you still have your "turtle corral"?

Stull using the High Carbon Premium Cattle made by Camillus for Sears, pre-Craftsman days, and this Klein Lockback.

Really like that cattle knife you carried several days last week, Jeff! :cool::cool::thumbsup:
What blades does it have? Is that clip blade its original shape, or did you have to fix a broken tip?

I was never a Scout, but I'm pretty sure this is what it feels like when you receive your first merit badge. @Rufus1949

Thanks again, Bob!!
Congrats on winning those two superb knives! :thumbsup::cool::cool:

Good evening porchsters,

Not used one of these for donkey's years.

Chamfered some sawn timber, to save me get the sander out. Chopped the onion and cut a chicken into eighth's (bones and all) for chicken curry stew. Very capable knife, it just goes to show how versatile good geometry and hard steel can be. Cuts better than knives 20 times the price.

Almost every time I use one of my Opinels, I wonder why I'm interested in any other knives. :cool:🤓

John, I don't know much about English churches. What are the "decorated boxes" in the racks of the pews in that church/chapel? Some kind of book for use in worship (maybe Bibles or hymn books)?

I'll try to check in from the cemetery occasionally

Thank you. It's really beautiful and very well finished. Centered blade, perfect fit, very nice bone stain, it's a very nice Case chosen by Leslie Tomville Leslie Tomville whom I thank very much. :)
 
Man that knife is a stunner! It ticks all the boxes, has stag, a wharncliffe and clip point blade, a birds eye rivet, and a really cool deer shield.

Most appreciated ....... he ticked a lot of boxes for me, as well. :thumbsup: 😊

I daresay that Mr No Shields On Stag! @Will Power may be willing to make an exception.
Dean Robertson is a new one to me ~ looks like a nice Trapper. Even without a spey…😎

Thank you Jeff ! :thumbsup:😊 Will said you were confused.🤣


What a beautiful piece of cutlery !!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:😍😍😍
