Thanks, buddy!

I think in the future, I will simply directly address you in reply rather than quote and then attempt to cleanly delete all the voluminous commentary that doesn’t apply to me. One little slip, and things get wonky.
small change in pocket carry.
The YEAR OF THE OX Huntsman is clipped to belt.
Imperial Jackmaster Barlow (day duce to ???? of the Barlow challenge) in RFP.
Toferner is clipped to rite forward belt loop, and hung in RFP.
Imperial Bicentenial Stockman in RFP. (so traditional carry s'not a mix of carbon steel and stain less steel.)
Rough Ryder CLASSIC CARBON series RR1743 large Work Knife. (T10 carbon steel.) in a stud closure dangler sheath.)
No name neck knife, (stain less.☹️)

I like the grind on your Imperial Bicentennial.
 
GEC Johnny On The Spot Electrician, a kind gift from Leslie Tomville Leslie Tomville , and a Sears Craftsman Stockman that they called “Bowie Knife”. Really.81BFDB22-E93E-406F-9AEB-1F4694C755D2.jpegView attachment 2504282Youse guys were talking about patina, and I noticed this bit of patinization that came from trimming pole beans last fall.
And now I notice the same discoloration in the same spot on the Stockman. I trimmed a lot of beans.

After you Barlownians are done messing around with your 30 day challenge, maybe we should try a TL-29 30 day challenge.

“Who’s we?” They said…

Off to town in a bit to pick up prescriptions at Rite Aid. The weather is pretty decent this morning - no rain or snow. Just coffee for breakfast - got to save room for lamb stew at the Brass Rail Restaurant for lunch. This swell end, capped, jack is in my pocket.

Love that new Case Barlow in blue ! 😍
I always said that a blue bone Barlow would be purty, but, nobody ever paid any attention to me. Case proved me right ! 🤣
I wonder about the bolster etch or stamp ...... can you feel it ? Do you think the etch or stamp is deep enough to last over time ? I already know that Case blade etches are much deeper than GEC blade etches, which made me ask.
Yes, it's really pretty blue bone. You can feel the etch but it's not deep. I prefer the stamped or engraved bolsters. I think it will hold up for me fine but I always carry in a slip or fifth pocket so it won't be rubbed. Other than a poor main blade grind it is very well done. I got the purple barnboard Barlow last month and it was very well done, even had a good blade grind.
