Bonus pic of the day 😂
Surprise car repair! Luckily it's not much, it's just the rubber trim underneath the front bumper of Mrs. Hoovies car broke loose. Friendly reminder, those old large cardboard boxes can come in handy with making a clean spot to lay down on. I always have a few saved in the garage for such times.

I think that lanyard must be offspring from your pickle knife ............ just think how much better a leather one would look with that bullet knife. You won't lose it though. ;)🐸🤣

Swell center stockman. 😊 That blade combo on that frame looks great to my eyes. The jigged bone and shield are a perfect combo for that period recreation. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

The 2011 documentation, which, like the knife itself was a copy of the 1908 catalog entry, called it a "Woodsman". So I am stuck with calling it a "Woodsman".

It is indeed a pleasing knife. The bone isn't much like stag, and quite a bit differetnt then Queen's Amber stag bone but it's finish is quite unique and makes a wonderful touch stone during the day.

I see you've noticed a pattern with me 😂
You're right though, it would look better with some leather, I just don't have any any the moment. As you can see I did have some high visibility cord though! 🤣

A couple of fine knives and nice picture compositions, my friend. :thumbsup:

Classic pair there, Jim. :thumbsup:

Outstanding looking fixed blade. :thumbsup: I love the color of the vintage ivory micarta, would enjoy having a knife of my own with those covers one day.

Now that's some beautiful bone, classic Case, my friend. :thumbsup:

I've been pocketing this 56 Birddog the past few days. I got it new back in the days when I was able to get a GEC on the dealers drop and then proceeded to accidentally drop it on the concrete basement floor within minutes of unpacking it from the tube. Dinged a bolster pretty good, sighed, and committed myself to making it a heavy user from day one.:)
Handsome and sturdy John DF slip in the pic, it also gets some heavy use.

Thanks much, Greg.
Ditto on the John DF slip. It’s at least as stout as a few knives I put in it.
 
Canoes of the Week both have wood handles, were both made in China, were both relatively inexpensive (although I thought the Buck was overpriced, given the 420J2 steel that I think is used for its blades), and I like them both.

Oil the joints, but don't forget to wipe the blades too. :)👌

I saw an old Schrade dealer’s catalog on either here or aapk. 124,294,94,194,293 ~ no matter how many blades or configuration, Schrade called them all Serpentine Jacks. When I say nice NF Serpentine Jack, it’s a solid compliment🤙

I really admire Bill Howard’s skill at honoring a lot of classic patterns.

Thank you Jeff! 😁 I think I've seen Primble Primble post one of those serpentine jacks before that looked very much like this one, although I could be mistaken. Mr. Howard certainly is a master of his craft.
 
Off to town in a bit for an appointment with the doctor and then lunch at the Wagon Wheel Cafe. Fires throughout the state are still hot and heavy. Hope everyone in the footprint of the Park Fire are safe and whole. I know we have a member in Chico, CA and a couple others in the corridor of Highway 32 and Highway 36. I'm gonna tote this Buck 501 Squire today.
