Thanks, John. :)
TO me there are at least 2 things that make it look so fine:
1) I'm a huge fan of Case's chestnut jigged bone, and
2) I love the "pattern number" tang stamp Case uses on the muskrat pattern.

Thanks, Gary. I don't know what to call it, but I did do it myself. A rotary tool held in place until it smoked. Burned, sculpted, jigged... ???

You're welcome, John. No charge! 😁

Both of those are definitely red bone Canoes. The brown ones had no red at all, even if rubbed or pocket worn.
I think they mailed all of those mud brown ones to Kentucky, long ago. 🤣
Two fine ones you showed ! :thumbsup::thumbsup:😍

That's the right tool for the job! Thank you for doing the experiment, though.

You're welcome. :)
That combo beer can opener / beer bottle opener was a marvel to me when I was a kid in the 1950's, and, like you, I STILL think that's the best tool for the job (although I haven't had to punch a triangular opening into a metal can for ages - maybe a quart of oil 25 years ago or more).

Thanks Gary, trial and error and I find myself liking it so I applied the process to a few others. It will still take a patina on top of the cold blue :thumbsup: :)

I look forward to seeing some of your blued knives, Paul, and how their patinas evolve. :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Thanks GT! Your wrestling experience had to be frustrating, that is one tall order to have an opponent with experience when you don’t. I remember my first practice in like 7th grade. Had no idea what I was doing lol. I was thrown all over the mat and got twisted into a pretzel :).

I think I am going to put that sowbelly back in the drawer. I believe I have decided on my first user stockman, just need to make sure it is still in stock tomorrow.

I remember that in my first match in the district tournament, I got pinned in the shortest time of any match in the tournament; the guy who destroyed me DID win the district championship in that weight class. (I also still had braces on my teeth at the time I was wrestling, so the insides of my lips were always "torn to shreds" by opponents using crossface moves.

I look forward to seeing what stockman you decided to start with! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
