Lovely Case knives!
Blimey, taking some catching up today! :eek: Excuse the string of posts, but I'm trying to get my post-count up ;) Carrying these two today, gifted to me by two very fine gentlemen :) :thumbsup:

Good pair!
Yesterday was such a pretty day we wandered around a bit. One stop was an old farm in my wife’s family. Lots of good memories around there for her and not a bad place for photos either.

Nice!
 
Started snowing about 3:00AM and still going strong. From the looks of it, I'll have to break out the plow later in the day. No particular reason, as it's not normally associated as to having any snow repelling capabilities but I've slipped this Tribal Lock in my pocket to carry while out and about with my snow shovel and plow. Mashed sausage and eggs for breakfast - Sloppy Joe's for supper.

Once again I have my Schatt & Morgan office knife in my pocket.

Love that knife and the early appearance of the Marshmallow Peep! The secret to the best Peep experience is to 1) use that knife to put a slit in the cellophane, 2) set the package on top of the fridge for 2-3 weeks, 3) enjoy one of the hardened Peeps and return them to the fridge, 4) forget about them until sometime around Christmas, and finally, 5) use them for hockey pucks!!
 
Stag and bone set the tone! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


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


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! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


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


Your 88 sowbelly is definitely an ace! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


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


Cool Case canoe closing in on a half-century! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


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


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


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?? 🤓:thumbsup::thumbsup:
(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! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
Does Jack like the whistle?


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


Agreed! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


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


Wow! Those don't show up here very often! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


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. ;)


:thumbsup:🤓


You're a successful researcher, José! :thumbsup::thumbsup:🤓


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:

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! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


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


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


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


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. :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
I have a couple of chestnut Cases that almost "fade to white" near the bolsters, which I don't care for as much.

Thanks for the Marshall Tucker Band interlude! Although countless songs consist of nothing more than D, C and G, this is a great one.
Toy Caldwell was one of the greats, and like George Benson, he picked only with his right thumb.
Although he passed way too soon, I think he got a taste of Heaven playing through four cranked Fender Twin Reverbs!
Something about these two just seem to go well together. Maybe the bocote wood, maybe the universally beloved blade etches 🤣 - what do y'all think?

I agree ~ both are aure pretty.
But what do I think? I think you’d better watch out for those lanyards. Unless they are longet than your arm, and never get tangled up, they’ll pull the knife back through your hand when you reach out to make a cut.🤔
