[sbh06]

Those go well together, Jeremy.



Looks like a beautiful place to ride!



That’s one of my favorite GECs! Love the etch.

I’ve got these today.

Thanks Barrett, same can be said for you GL-24 and that beautiful 15!

Cool compass and nice ol' 78!

 

[Will Power]

First day carrying this #81. The best way I know to break in a new knife is to throw it on a rock and let it rain on it.

Don't leave it out there too long..... A beautiful newcomer for sure

I enjoy seeing that rustic handle, José!

5K Qs Thanks Gary, this was a recent delightful gift from Yann in France It's stabilized Elm or Orme in French. Big n'Burly

Thanks for the info, Will. Congrats on the impressive new knife, and plaudits to Corto_Malt for his generosity!

It's Ram's Horn. It's a re-handle done by glennbad

Thanks for the info, Steve; fantastic golden horn!

GT, it sounds like you know as much about it as I do! All I can tell you is that it's a vintage-ish? German knife, but you could probably tell that by looking at it. Not much info out there about "Cole's" that I can find. I also picked up a "Senator" stockman a while back. These oddly branded Solingen knives are quite interesting! Uh oh.

Thanks for sharing what you've found out, Chris!
Uh oh, indeed!

Camillus Friday.

Autumn seems to be unfolding as per expected based on the the fact that I got to put in an afternoon in my “guitar shop” instead of in the garden, so have a fine autumn day.
And spring day for our Southern Hemisphere friends.

I like the unique perspective in that photo, Jeff!

I'm sorry if it gets boring seeing the same knife from me but I thoroughly enjoy this knife. It resonates so well with what I like and want from a traditional slipjoint.

I know what you mean.
I find myself carrying a marlinspike knife very frequently because a hefty sheepsfoot blade and a "pokey" tool are such a useful combination.

Headed out to town in a bit for a late breakfast of Biscuits and Gravy at the Stock Yards. Now what's the sense of going to the Stock Yards without carrying a Stockman so this SS 6347 Amber Peach Seed Jigged Bone Stockman is in my pocket and ready to go.

CASE 6347 SS Stockman rides into the night ~~~

...

ED and Jim, those are a couple of VERY handsome and useful stockman knives; I'm real fond of the '47 model, and amber bone almost always looks good.

Good evening…it’s hurricane cleanup Friday y’all. Helene decided to visit my town and hover a while . I didn’t tote this today. But after I was done chainsawing till my ears bled, it was nice to handle some fine cutlery
...
Hurricane Helene invited Mr. Pinetree to a pool party. I’m always down for a pool party.

Problem is, he didn’t use the gate, and he totally disrespected my fig tree in the process. He fell right in the center of it and crushed the pool fence. But I was very blessed to have no trees on the house .

Echoing JonMcD , doing some property repairs & cleanup after Hurricane Helene came through & clipped the Carolina's on her way through here.

...

We didn't get hit directly but the winds were still bad enough to damage a lot. It blew some siding & the shutters off of the front of our house. I found one shutter at the neighbors property, I have no idea where the other shutter flew off to...
I'm repairing some damaged fence today. Luckily we have power now. Both my parents & in-laws are still without since yesterday morning... They are currently running generators for basic amenities.

At my grandfather's property a tree fell & took out his carport along with his truck & two tractors. You can barely see his pickup, a blue Ford tractor & an antique red IH Farmall Cub under the mess.

...

I hope everyone in the South-East U.S. is doing ok after the storm, & also our friends abroad. Be safe everyone.

Jon and Zach, I'm glad you and yours are safe, and I hope the clean-up/fix-up is not too time-consuming and expensive.
Will insurance cover some of the "minor" damage like smashed fences and torn-up siding, and major damage like Zach's grandfather's carport and vehicles?

...

That Rough Rider scout and Camillus electrician are a couple of solid workers!

Superb stag pair, David!
I don't recall ever seeing such a skinny, barehead, big bolster clippoint knife, with such nice stag, from Wright!

Stag Lamb and a Diamond Jack

Notable pair on a notable post, Steve; outstanding stag on that lambsfoot!

...

Top shelf jigging on that one, José!

Sunday Best.

Classy copperlock, Jer!
Is that a full-size copperlock, or a mini (and is there a good way to tell the difference between them if you're looking at a pic of just one without much in the way of contextual size clues)?

Presidential

Hail to the Chief! Splendid knife, Jim!

...

...

Really like the fake stag on that one!!

Canoes?!? GT, you're just full of surprises!

Yeah, Chris, I suppose I'm pretty predictable (just like a good knife ). Definitely a canoesseur!

Good Gracious, grand grain!!

That's a belly buster Jack. Your lamb is aging nicely.

That's a belly buster Jack. Your lamb is aging nicely.

It’s certainly getting plenty of use Bob

As a user I must say it’s become my favourite lamb.

I polished the bolsters yesterday, they look good but I think I’ll just let them age from now on.

 

[afishhunter]

guess i will continue to carry the Case 6375 stockman until the new to me Western 742 stockman gets here, with the Western 062 folding hunter and Camillus 33 EO jack.

"Berry" arrived today and in the pocket he goes . . .

 

[JonMcD]

I hate to see all that damage, Jon, but at least you’ve kept your sense of humor through it all. Hope the family is okay.

Thanks Bart. As I’ve heard about how bad the damage was north of us in the Asheville area, I realize how blessed we all were here to only have power outages and some trees down. The flooding there is devastating.

Sorry about the damage. Thankful the damage is to items that can be repaired or replaced.

Thanks brother. Several days of gettin after it + ibuprofen = mostly gathered into burn piles.

Hey Amigo ~ both are great as usual, but I scrolled back a couple of times to see your barehead jack.

Maybe GEC had @SteveC’s Challenge Cutco jack in front of them during the drawing board stage?
I feel great about having that Forum Knife as well, Frank.

With that knife, a guy could almost go without a SAK in his other pocket.

Thanks to Dutch Elm Disease, and Emerald Ash Borer, I feel your pain. Too bad to lose the pine. Hopefully you have lots more.
I find lots of uses for the logs, but trimming and cleaning up the slash is …
tedious.

It’s great to have kids to help, huh?

Excellent pics of a TL-29 in the wild.
Good year for apples, eh?

If I made a guess, it would be ~
The blank that the cutler used on your knife was rescued from the cutoff pile in a mill where they made very Exibition Grade gunstocks. Lovely piece of wood, Yann.

Yessir. I have some fun projects slated for the pine logs. And yes…I had all four sweatin’ and driving the tractor and the mule around. Makes it fun for me. I pretty much just run the saw and they clean up the rest.

I enjoy seeing that rustic handle, José!

After we got everything cleared away, the damage was much less than we feared. We were very fortunate. No need to get insurance involved for us.

Great knives and photos!

Thank you!

Unless I’m mistaken, which has occurred at least once before, your Camilus is around 75 years old ~ based on the short line tang stamp. Nice knife!

Thank you. The tang stamp certainly would suggest that, but I’m not able to find any evidence of the model 89 before the 70s. I’ve scoured over the internet to get lookin for infor on short lined 89s but haven’t found anythin really helpful

They’ve been workin hard this fall

Really like the fake stag on that one!!

Thank you!
