Remove this if this is not traditional. This is a custom made chisel-cutter pocket knife - thing. CRV80 steel, leather pocket sheath made by me. Made a cotton "cord micarta" -handle. Overall 130 mm, blade 55 mm.

Case Knife of the Week is a chestnut jigged bone CV SodBuster Jr. It's one of 4 knives that I carry every day in addition to my rotating weekly carries. I won it in a GAW run by the late BigBiscuit .


Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week is an old (1936-1952) Imperial scout that I picked up at a consignment/junk shop while on vacation several years ago. I've cleaned it up quite a bit, but it could use more TLC.

Very nice. Tell us the wood on the lamb please.

Afzelia burl.

Very nice. Tell us the wood on the lamb please.

Thanks Bob ... the wood on the Lamb Foot is Karelian Birch. Most likely from Finland.
The wood on the 73 from 2015 is Cocobolo

Still the main carry. The cocobolo is growing on me.

I'm still "rockin' the C-B" (that's Case-Bose, not Casbah!)

Believe it or not, I've lost my Case large stockman. I'm afraid I've hidden it somewhere extra clever.

I put my favorite cub scouts on a 'biner so I won't have to sort through them again to redetermine my favorites.
These all have good action, long screwdrivers, full blades, and working liner locks. Except the black Imperial you need to push the awl lock a bit.
The white Camillus is mint and the blue Camillus is just patinated. The Imperial I love because it's perfect except for the flattened bail and the eccentric awl-lock, and because it was rusted shut when I gambled on buying it for under $5. It's in great shape for a knife that seems to have spent time in a puddle on a gravel road. And it has a steel shield.

The top UH was made by Camillus around 1980. The other is the usual Swindon pinless wonder. I was surprised to find I had two of them.

Maybe the Dutch Army SAK, maybe plus the Imperial Cub today. And my Jarvenpaa puukko around the yard. No hurry today.

These mornings are cooling down quickly. Just fine by me. Kramp medium BP for today.

The "Demo Knife" has always been a favorite pattern of mine. I have several, but this one is my favorite because of the hollow grind, it cuts like a dream. Riding in the pocket today

Wonderful

Good pair of knives Jeff

I left a couple out of my old Case pic above.

1970 Christmas present.
1970 found a few years ago for $2.50 (the other handle was broken.)
1972 (No more draft!) I was 15, but it had been on my mind.
1973, first half of senior year in high school.
1974, beginning of college.
1976, the obvious, and foreign study in London.

Though I think the Barlow is still out of the vault.
