Not only some decent Stag, but also a very interesting knife . I have a Queen Cutlery lockback in Zebrawood that its double, I know Queen had a connexion with Dave Shirley, the Forum 08 knife in Stag was made by him and is the Queen No.26 pattern Small Stockman.

Thanks, Will

Sure enough, Will -- that is the same pattern. Fantastic! Really interesting to see another one of these -- love the Zebrawood on yours. Queen was making the MSA slipjoints for Dave Shirley in the early 2000's, and that collaboration continued as Dave shifted over to his Northwoods brand. It leads me to wonder whether the oval shield on mine was a remnant of the MSA days and the Marble's shield? I love the ergonomics of this little guy -- the groove for the index finger makes it handle very nicely. As you say, certainly an interesting knife.

Captivating Charlie Lamb, John!

Is that a bug or a feature, Jeff?

That Imperial is in great shape!

Thanks, Zach.
When I got it at an antique shop, it looked absolutely pristine to me. But I started using it immediately and soon had quite a patina on the spearpoint main.

Another old Case for today.

I always admire your '47 pen knife, Bart!

Bad to the bone, Steve!

Terrific trio!

We ended up getting two severe storms around noon on Sunday and 45 minutes after midnight on Monday morning. The wind after midnight put one of my redbud trees on the ground, so Memorial Day for me ended up being storm cleanup ......... chainsaw, loppers, and pruning shears being the cutting tools of choice. I've got a little more to do today to finish the cleanup.

Glad you and your big cat made it through the storms; seems like you're getting more than your share of dicey weather this spring. Sorry you lost your redbud. We used to have an unattractive mulberry tree in our side yard, but we got rid of it and I rented a Rototiller to make the hill from our house to the alley on that side less steep. Then we replaced the mulberry with a redbud, and put in some other plants. But an ice storm took out the redbud one spring. We replaced it with a Juneberry tree, which is nice, but we still miss the redbud.

Trapper Tuesd...

Wooden Wednesday

I see what you did there - nice!
It got me to thinking. What's the most "designated days" (Metal or Micarta Monday, Two-blade Tuesday, Wooden Wednesday, Thrifty Thursday, Black Friday, Stag Saturday, etc.) you can participate in with a single knife? Seems impossible to "do" both Monday and Wednesday (and Saturday) with the same knife, but often "my dreams are too small".

Missouri is so culturally diverse that we have multiple mangalations for most common expressions. Shoot, we can't even pronounce the name of the state with any consistency

I looked for a Missouri-English translator online, but couldn't find one.

Couple of covetable Cases!

Berry pickin'View attachment 2581931

Can't believe I still don't have a yellow (or black) Case SBJr; yours looks great!
What kind of berries are those? I know red raspberries and black raspberries, but I don't know what those raspberry-looking yellow/orange ones are.

That knife has a lot of admirable features, Jim!
Blade shape, rounded bolsters, equal ends, horn covers, Christmas Tree shield ...

3 horn day.

Very horny, indeed!

I recently aquired this 1940s Victorinox Climber. Model 235 ka Bgl to be precise. I managed to source the missing bail and now it's in my pocket.

Congrats on acquiring that beautiful old knife!

Pulchritudinous Pair!

Wenger Backpacker II, potatoes, lettuce, and peas.

Your background crops reminded me of one of our daughter's favorite meals (that I'd prepare for her) 25-30 years ago: potato, corn, and peas.
Nuke a potato and dice it up, cook some frozen corn and frozen peas together for a couple of minutes in the microwave, throw it all on a plate or in a bowl. She'd put "Butter Buds" on hers, I'd put pepper on mine, and my wife wanted no part of such a pleasing peasant meal.

This old cowboy and snakes rope trick came up randomly on youtube today, so I had to carry my one and only Viper.

Its a great watch,I am of to buy a horse hair Lasso tomorrow.


The video comments are a great read.

Enjoyed the video and some of the insightful comments!

I see you’re in Hesperia. I love that area. Lots of great fishing ~ both rivers and lakes.

My sister and her husband have acreage near there, around 100 acres, surrounded by national forest land. It used to be an old church camp. Main house, several cabins, boat dock, etc. We spent many great family times there, but the local crackheads have ruined it. They broke in, and stole everything they could ~ antiques, tons of fishing tackle, tools, golf carts… everything they could haul off and sell, then totally vandalized the entire place. Damned shame.

I’m a peaceful guy, but sometimes I have evil thoughts.

I had forgotten that my profile was made when i was living in hesperia. Your description rings true. I moved away after being targeted by local criminals repeatedly. But the fishing was incredible. I miss the natural beauty of the place.

Good morning, everyone. This one for me for the last few days. Really great knife, but I still wish the two proud pins were sunken.

 

[MarbReds]

I love the bone on that Case/Bose WT!
