That’s a great looking Case Barlow, Chris.

Coincidentally, I’ve become unusually enamored with the Case Barlows and looking at lots of them lately, trying to figure out which one(s) I should pull the trigger on. I’d have picked one like that for sure, had I come across it yet.

I’m sure I’ll find one (sure, juuust one) that scratches the itch.

Been there. Done that! After quite a bit of research and a ton of browsing, this is my one and only Case barlow... 2019 CV "brown sawcut". The combination of CV steel, the bolster stamp, and no shield checked all the boxes! There was also a yellow version if I'm not mistaken. There are actually 3-4 of these floating around the porch, but the sawcut covers vary greatly. Decisions, decisions... 😵‍💫

Clip vs spear? 1 bl. Vs 2 bl.? SS vs CS? Shield vs no shield. Oh, and don't forget about the 483 cover options for each! :rolleyes:

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Frost Flying Falcon I picked up at a pawn shop several years ago. It used to be a desk knife at my office when I had an office.


Lambsfoot of the Week is Lam Jack, my 2017 horn Guardians lambsfoot (thanks, Jack):

I'm moving pretty slow this week, even for me. Here are a bunch of multi quotes from early this week that I forgot about until now.


I'm bedazzled by the bone on that pair, Bob!

Congrats on the classic Imperial; love that pattern!


Nice knife and socket set, Mike!
I should get a photo of a knife with my ancient set of socket wrenches (but mine are NOT anything close to Craftsman quality).


I've had several of those RR camp knives, and I love 'em, but I've never tried using the can opener to open a can. Handy scraper, though!


Terrific trio of European knives!


At first glance, I thought you had done a significant and interesting blade mod on your Colt canoe, reshaping both blades into clip points. But upon closer inspection, I decided that a fold of the fabric background is lying over the pen blade, causing it to look a little like a clip point. And I think maybe the combination of the spearpoint's swedge and the wide steep bevel you put on the edge made me think the profile of the blade had changed.


Handsome wood covers on that pair, Mitch! What kind of wood is on each knife?


Cool cast metal knife, José! Is it an advertising knife for some kind of agricultural company (maybe fertilizer)?


Classy Little Indian Girl Canoe!


Splendid 38 whittler! I think you showed and ebony version earlier; what wood is on this one?


:thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


You sure have a lot of interesting stockmans, Frank!
I always looked at the AG Russell War Eagle knives, and I think they had a canoe that caught my fancy, but I waited too long to order one.


:thumbsup:🤓
I wish I was as successful at sharpening my grass clippers as I was with the pruning shears. We have quite a small yard, so I never got into the habit of using a string trimmer.


Wouldn't it be ironic if we throw the ball because we think the dog enjoys chasing it, and the dog chases the ball because it thinks the human enjoys throwing it?


Almost 50 years ago, I knew a woman called Anne Pellegrino and worked with her daughter Cathy.


:thumbsup:🤓


Sweet Ulster cattle knife! What's the 3rd blade?


I always enjoy the girls' birthday posts, including the year-by-year photo recap. I especially enjoy seeing the changes in Eleanor's footwear on her birthday over the years.

That bird reminds me of a current presidential candidate!




Good point; that's happened to me several times! (I'm not a totally good man, so I wasn't totally killed each time I got hung up by cargo pockets.)


I'm bedazzled by the bone on that pair, Bob!


Some okay photos of a couple of okay Cases, so it's gotta be an okay day, Jeff!


I hope you and Cindy had an uneventful and safe trip, ED.

The Robeson not sure I know it’s very old, a gift from Bob Rufus1949 Rufus1949 he wasn't sure either.
They do make a good matched pair though 🙂
