Thanks, Bob.

I also like the blade shape, although I'm not a big fan of a saber grind.
Thanks for the kind words about my knives, Jeremy.

I've never tried opening a can with that combo can/bottle opener on the work knife. Bonus tool not shown in my photo: the pile side of the main blade has a little ruler on it!
Interesting description of the taste of Vernors. As a Michigan native, I've had it, but that was probably at least 50 years ago, so I don't remember its taste. I almost never drink soft drinks anymore, except for Mountain Dew on long drives when I need the caffeine.
I've heard that there are places "down South" where the generic name for soft drinks is "coke".
Your Viper looks to have a deadly sharp tooth!


Your Sabre camp knife is very appealing, José!



Is that a recent find?
Outstanding pair, Jeff; I always admire the walnut on your TEW!


Great bone/jigging on your '32 stockman, Chris!



But I have a strong preference for rounded bolsters over square, so I'd take a Case '18 stockman over a '32 in a heartbeat.
That's a great blade/frame combo, Bob!



I'm sure you're not alone in wishing for Fall, Bob, but I'm not joining you in that wish. I wait about 8 months (October through May) for warm weather to return - I much prefer temps in the 80s and 90s to temps in the 50s and 60s (or lower).
Sorry to read about your AC problems, Mike.


Hard to believe we got AC for our house fewer than 20 years ago. And although my wife has had vehicles with AC since 1989, and we'd use those for family trips, my solo driving was always in vehicles without AC until 2010, I think.
Striking horn covers, LT!



Do they really have "ridges and valleys" or is that an optical illusion caused by the "feathering" in the horn?
Frank, I'm very happy with my pocket worn harvest orange bone humpback stockman, but your ebony version is a step up in classiness IMHO!



Speaking of "similar vein", your humpback and my Imperial stockman I posted the same day both appear to be photographed on old wooden pallets.
Cool photo and knife!


Notable pair of European knives!


Cool photos!



Your sunset photo reminds me of a sunrise over the Mediterranean photo I took in Denia Spain almost 10 years ago:
Your color change on that Winchester canoe's bone is splendid!


That's pretty weird and wonderful!


I agree with Bob; even though I have a rubber mallet that would probably be the right tool for the job, I don't think I have the guts to try the centering mod.


Good work, Chris! I also think the stag on your trapper is very typical of "contemporary Case stag" which tends to be rather smooth and creamy. Not my first choice of stag characteristics, but still good stag IMHO.
