Switching it up to today's new arrival...

A weird tote for today. I don't know what it is, but I sure do like it!

Looks like a pretty fancy Grafting knife to me.

Thanks for the info Primble! It was cataloged as a 1900-1950 custom saber ground hawkbill with no other info.

New hat day.

Case Teardrop in 6.5 Bonestag. This really is a gem of a knife. The spring is exactly flat in all three positions of the blade and everything is just perfectly manufactured. According to a post from Tony, he patterned the blade after an 1800s quill knife. It's a joy to carry and use.

While putting on my shorts yesterday, I got the waist adjustment drawstring tangled in my toes and went from vertical to horizontal in a nano-second. All body parts are working pretty good this morning - just stiff. Going to town in a short bit and will carry my Remington Baby Trapper. Just coffee for breakfast.

Ed, glad to hear that you’re doing okay! Last two times I went from vertical to horizontal I ended up on the way to the hospital.

It’s getting cold around here and we’re supposed to get a few inches of snow tonight. I’m carrying the Bayou Trapper to remind me of hot muggy days to come.

Not hard to see why, The White Owl is a wonderful pattern and single-spring too. Yours is some very tidy Stag too. I like the ones I have, Acyrilcs, Bone, Ebony and a very rare stainless blade one but I have no example in Spear, which is a source of huge anguish.....

Thanks, Will

Ya the 68 is a keeper,you see alot of white owls on exchange because most have blade rub,but blade rub disappears with use,I thought you had a 68 spear.

 

[Will Power]

Oldy No! I nearly got one but the then owner kept changing his mind over trades and demanding stuff, then he sold it . happens....Think you're right about blade rub, only my recent Nothfield has a bit, but with use carbon blades just don't show it.

Changing to my pre 1977 (no date code) Western 742 stockman

"Western" may not be the first brand "people" think of for classic, well made USA pocket knives, but in my humble (potentially biased) opinion, the Western 742 is every bit as good as the working/not for "show" stockmans offered by their competition; Imperial - Schrade; Camillus; Utica, Case, and Buck, among others.
(As far as I know, Buck never offered the 300 series with carbon steel blades. I wonder if that cost them sales.)

I put the Case teardrop away.

No other changes; Still carrying my 1980 ("D" date code) Western 062 Folding Hunter.


SAK Year Of The Ox Huntsman, and Ruby Signature.


and the Toferner as a neck knife.

Tractor Green always looks great, a very nice example too

I’m with you, Will — love Tractor Green!

Dammit, Ed.
Don't be showing off, just sit on the bed to put on your drawers.

Thank you my friend

The rabbit fur hat looks toasty. I have a couple. One is my snow relocation hat. Certainly keeps the ears warm.

Just another benefit of this weather ~ I get to wear my rabbit fur bomber hat.

A seldom carried one in my pocket today. We're on a little trip and stopped at the Fiestaware factory outlet. I got 4 different coffee mugs because the factory seconds are really inexpensive.
