I guess I have something of a love affair with these "peasant" knives. especially the European/Mediterranean variety, but also others. The Opinel 12 is missing from the picture. Now carrying the second from the bottom. I still miss a ratcheting navaja...

Today’s carry is a Puma mini 4-star lockback in stag. When I first received it I noticed an irritating tiny pock on the blade, later finding that it was its standard hardness test.

Congrats on that beauty Gary @Peregrin !
Ditto here, these were made to be enjoyed! Glenn really put in some thought & special touches with these on his 20 year GAW!

I still can't believe I won this Schrade of his! It's a treasure of a knife

For Wednesday, a Walden Knife Company " Boys Knife " ( circa 1874-1926 ) at 3.25 inches closed, which makes it a fantastic watch pocket size. Small, but, mighty with iron bolster and liners, which give it a weight of some larger knives. For those of you that might not know the history of this company, it all started after a bad call during a lunch hour baseball game at the New York Knife Company. It was reported that some of the ladies summoned the owner ( Thomas Bradley ) to calm things down, which he promptly did. He later passed on the bad news that baseball was prohibited at lunch time, prompting some of his most highly skilled cutlers to resign and start their own knife company down river. The Walden Knife Company was born and went on to produce many contract knives, including being the home of E.C. Simmons "Keen Kutter" knives. I believe that they likely produced a few of my John Primble India Steel Works knives, as well. I'm a bit partial to the pile side bone on this knife.

Wow! What a beautiful knife, that jigging, that beautifully swedged spear and that great history lesson. Thanks Mr. P!

I spent much of last Friday packing and Saturday traveling, and we're away from home for this week and next. The cottage we're renting has rather unreliable wifi, so I'm a few days behind in this thread. Here are some quotes from Friday and Saturday, mostly. We'll see if I have the time and technology to eventually catch up.

Rough Ryder canoe

I think that's a handsome canoe! Stainless blades or carbon steel?
I bought one just like it last month. It was advertised as stainless, but the first time I used it produced some patina, which was a pleasant surprise to me.

This Case Bose swayback jack in the pocket today!View attachment 2637361

Beautiful stag swayback!!

Union Jack is prudy as you please

Thanks, David. I really like my wood-handled knives, but they're almost all from non-US companies.

Splendid sowbelly!

Today's carry is a Queen Canoe in amber stag bone and D2

Striking canoe, Frank; I admire the edge on the spearpoint blade!

...

Nice knives-in-colander shot, Jeff!

View attachment 2638650

Beautiful bone & bolster, Bob!

I’ve got these two in my pocket today.

Barrett, the "grain" or "thread pattern" or whatever it's called for micarta is outstanding on your GL-24!! An infinity symbol or crazy eight, depending on orientation.

Went shopping and out to dinner tonight with the wifey and pocketed Banana Buck and Big Red.

Colorful pair, Jeff; I especially like the "banana Buck"!

Today's carry is another Canoe, this one a Case with, I think, "Caribbean Blue" covers. Goes well with my favorite coffee mug.

Frank, you have a blue cup and a blue canoe.
All you need now is blue suede shoes!

Wood Sunday.

...

I admire the wood on both, but the oak on your lambsfoot really floats my boat!

I went and bought a remote controlled monster truck this morning .............. for somebody.

I'll bet big cat Elijah would LOVE to stalk a monster truck!

It's Sunday, so Stockman and Stag

That is possibly in the category of perfect knives for me. What is the pattern and year?
Beautiful piece mate

I agree with Hatchet_Jack , Will! Tough to top your stag Dixie stockman!

 

[Rufus1949]

Beautiful bone & bolster, Bob!

Thanks Gary.
It sounds like you found a little slice of heaven up there. Enjoy.
