Case Barlow on this laid back Sunday, hope y'all have a good one!

"scare" is a bit of an understatement, isn't it?
I believe the 15 Boys Knife has pretty much evolved into "unobtanium" by now ...

Yes, and everyone destroyed the handles because they tried removing the Bale.

Removing the bail is simple to do.

My Grandad grew up in Portsmouth, Ohio, home of the fledgling NFL franchise the Portsmouth Spartans. In 1934, the Spartans moved to Detroit and became the Detroit Lions. So, it's appropriate to have this one in the pocket today...

Wipe down and back in the pocket.

Pocketing this 4" stockman that arrived in the mail yesterday. Stamped Robeson 432594 USA. I think these covers are called 'French ivory'?
Its in very good condition with nice blade action and looks unused to me. A small amount of shrinkage on the scales at the bolster being the only flaw I see, which is expected and not bothersome to me. Overall I'm quite pleased with this one.

Wow—that is an absolute beauty!!!

I believe that cover material may be something called "ivoroid" — a material also used as binding on acoustic instruments.

SWAMPY!

Chew is better this morning. Might be able to smash a piece of sausage and try that. Anyway, there's not much on the plate (pun intended) today so, #525 will be plenty of knife for what I might run across while in my recliner.

 

[Hoffmajo89]

Stainless and snappy for me today.

Gorgeous, Greg! Any idea how old it is?
All of my old #23 Camillus Big Jacks have the same scales.
Just in case you didn’t know, French Ivory, ala:Ivoroid, is celluloid. And besides possible shrinkage, it can be prone to off-gassing. It will corrode steel, so you might want to keep it segregated from your other knives. I keep mine outside of the cigar boxes everything else is in, because it will also corrode it’s own blades and springs.
