You betchaGlad you like it Jeff! You’re very welcome! I hope that it serves you well, for many years to come. Lance
If you'll excuse my calling it a 194, the 194 is such a fine pattern. I wonder if they made yours in bone after having already switched to delrin for the Old Timers? How old is that beauty?Since yesterday!! So purty!!View attachment 2814631View attachment 2814632
I forgot almost. Peas like this weather.First outdoor sowin of the season![]()
That's just a no current backwater. The channel's around that bend. During the summer, the backwater is shallow and full of moss, but about now, northerns come up in there and spawn. So they say.I would be hard pressed not to cast a crankbait and do a slow retrieve. Looks like a great spot



Nice patina mate
Thanks Jack. Cutting some large dill pickles.Nice patina mate![]()
Intricate bolster and a beautifully well-balanced knife, some real artisanship thereTotin' my Chris Montgomery made custom fixed blade and a Northwoods Ocoee Jack in Desert Ironwood for Tuesday.
This pairing fits nicely in a leather fixed blade/folder pocket sheath that I have.
Chris once participated frequently in this totin' thread and when he was making this knife, he would occasionally show his progress. I got more and more interested as it neared completion and dropped him a PM, asking if he would consider selling it. I expected the answer to be no and was surprised when he replied and priced it to me. Featured in a knife magazine some years ago.... sad to admit that I can't recall which magazine ...... Knife World seems right.

Yes Sir, Jeff, love me some Red Wings! I currently have 5 pairs. One pair might even be the same as yours. My Iron Rangers, that we’re in my picture, we’re recently re-soled with Vibram lugs, along with a leather mid sole added. They’re my favorites.You betchaThanks!
But how bout those Redwings?
Second set of soles, suppose I oughta polish them.

That thing is a beauty! This pattern has a great heft to it, I’ve really enjoyed carrying it today.View attachment 2815363View attachment 2815364
One of the greatest patterns — and a GREAT user knife! You got a nice one there. Here’s mine.
