Stag and bone set the tone!

Outdoor thermometer says it’s 64 here in the Pacific Northwest so I’ve got some windows open letting some fresh air in. Keen Kutter Cattle knife seemed like a good idea today.

Your Keen Kutter Kattle Knife is like a breath of fresh air!

A Case Tribal lock that I've had for years but never really carried for today.
View attachment 2474706

How do you like the Tribal Lock so far? I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed carrying one.
Your CV whiskey bone version is VERY visually appealing!

I moved to Missouri in 1984. I intended to stay for a couple of years, then move to the Rockies. Then a woman got involved. She's gone, but 40 years later I'm still here. Life is funny

"Can't you see what that woman been doin to me?"

Your 88 sowbelly is definitely an ace!

A basic Recruit, just received today.

Congrats, Vince!
I think of the Recruit as sort of the "Mother of ALL SAKs".

Overcast and chilly here in The Bluegrass State. Got to do some errands and shopping. The ‘75 canoe and U.S.A stamped two blade are riding shotgun. Not sure who made it. Y’all have a great day. Stay sharp!!View attachment 2475414

Cool Case canoe closing in on a half-century!

We were going through some boxes in the garage this weekend and we finally found my first pocketknife. I knew it was here, I just couldn't lay my hands on it. My uncle gave it to me when I was 11. A Kabar 1081 stockman. What a treat to finally locate it.

Congrats on finding your first knife; it's a beauty!

Both special

Thanks, Jack; both stag canoes are a little bit mysterious to me, too.

Stellar set, dude!!

44 x 5 = 220 5K Qs You like that??

I DO like it, and I'll ask you what I always used to ask my daughter when she was little: How did you come up with that??
(For example,
1) used a calculator/computer/phone/abacus/other technology
2) Doubled 44 to 88, doubled again to 176, so that's 4 x 44; add another 44: 176+4+40 = 180+40 = 220
3) (40+4) x 5 = 40 x 5 + 4 x 5 = 200 + 20 = 220
4) 44 x 5 = 44 x 10 ÷ 2 = half of 440 = 220)

Cool RR!
Does Jack like the whistle?

A couple of old Rodgers.

Both are vintage and vibrant!
What are the covers on each? (My guess is the top one is horn?)

Thanks GT, these two are really nice knives.

Agreed!

Sir, I believe you now hold the record for the most quotes in a single post Good kudos to everyone

Did you notice that all the quotes were from posts that were at least a week old? I have a procrastination problem.
I wonder if I'll get a commemorative plaque for "my record"??

...

Thanks, yes it's an original Tidioute Cutlery

Wow! Those don't show up here very often!

Thanks Gary, surprising how much life is left in it.

Favorite baseball memory was playing the inmates in Sing Sing prison during my college summers.

I played city league slo-pitch softball against (and with) some guys that probably should have been in prison, but never played an actual inmate team.

Thank you, Gary!
Your comment about the old-guy league reminds me of my son. When he was living in Scotland, and running marathons, he joined a club that ran, and raced, trails on the highest mountains in the country. The club consisted of mostly old guys who were hard and tough as nails. Serious, hard core folks who a younger guy did not dare to try to outrun.

Thanks Gary, another find from my research!!

You're a successful researcher, José!

...
Thanks Gary. Others have pointed out its “lamb-ish” qualities also…I like the character of the patina also.

I have a couple of Case knives with Wharncliffe blades that are quite lamb-like, as on your Rancher. Here's one on a copperhead:

Thanks GT! That beer scout gets a lot of use but wears it well. I am looking into the canoe pattern, haven’t decided on a starter model yet but have checked out multiple posts of your examples as a guide

These two today, this scout from AG Russel needs more pocket time.


View attachment 2478043

Tom, most "basic" canoes are VERY similar: 3 5/8" closed, same frame shape, spear/pen blade combo; main difference seems to be handle material/color and blade steel. So you can probably get a good idea of whether you like the pattern from almost any canoe.
I'd forgotten about your cool little AG Russell scout - nice!

...

Thanks, Gary. It's one I don't regret purchasing, has solid lock up when open, blade deploys nicely and its pretty light weight for its size.
Mostly it stays in the door pocket of my truck and but it does come out and gets used.
...

I thought I'd tote around a couple older knives today. The Remington is as solid as any of my best knives. I took a chance on it on the big auction site about 7 or so years ago and wasn't at all disappointed when it arrived in the mail. I picked up the Catt at the badger blade show last spring, the bone, shield and pattern was more than I could resist.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming blade show and hanging out with the fine group of fellow forum members I met there last year. I may even look at some knives while there.

Thanks for the extra info about your Maserin; I really liked the checkered handle.
Couple of fine vintage knives!

If I may " horn in" they both have a nice warm glow Gary.

Thanks, Bob.
I like the horn on those Jokers, but it's not as "dressy" as the distinguished horn on the Bruckmann you sent me.

Attractive photos Gary

Thanks, Jack. (I rarely see that 3-word combo.)

Thanks, GT!! There's just something special about them. Can't explain it, really. The deep burgundy on yours is pretty perfect, IMO.

Our SBJrs are definitely different shades, but what I like about both of them is that the color of each is so uniform end-to-end.
I have a couple of chestnut Cases that almost "fade to white" near the bolsters, which I don't care for as much.

I went to a motorcycle coffee stop I normally go to in the summer on my bike.

Going in my car its not quite the same...in fact it’s sad

4) 44 x 5 = 44 x 10 ÷ 2 = half of 440 = 220)

I think there's a greater lesson to be learned here. After reviewing a couple of your math lessons, I now have full confidence in my ability to solve most any math problem with a high degree of accuracy. No calculator, computer, phone, nor abacus required. It's very simple in theory and works something like this... "Hey, GT! If you can solve this, I'll give you this snazzy new Canoe." Ha! Problem solved.

It’s a stormy day here in the City by the Bay! Staying home where it is warm and dry. Keeping me company the Modoc Special and a fancy lamb. Have a great Sunday folks! Just added a bonus pic!View attachment 2482875View attachment 2482876View attachment 2482983

Thanks, Gary.

The top one is indeed horn. The bottom one is either ivory, or a pretty convincing imitation.
