It sucks to be without a blade. Lucky for me I don't like flying.

Fightin' Rooster stockman.

 

[cortopar]

Well, I guess this will be my first day after the "experiment." I spent 6 months with the Case amber bone medium stockman in Damascus. I've gotten to know it well, and have a good perspective on what I love about this knife and what I like a little less. Time to spread the love around.

It's going to be a Case 6375 large stockman in CV and amber bone, and a Case 06247PEN in green bone. The 06247 is basically a medium serpentine stockman pattern with rounded bolsters... but with a single backspring and only 2 blades. It has a clip and a pen blade in CV.

My new (to me) Case 6292. I love this pattern.

Here is one I've been EDC'n for years.. A very cool and unique three blade Congress pattern that is really more laid out like a Whittler pattern than a Congress pattern.. This is one very stout little slippy and a helluva fine cutter with her finely ground carbon steel blades and her mother of pearl scales..

I carried my Case Stockman in CV, and it cut me SOOO deep, I bled for about a half hour!! I was opening the sheepsfoot blade, and my fingers slipped off it. It had only been opened a little more then a quarter of the way, so there was still tension in the spring, and it slammed shut, the tip of it slicing right through the tip of my left ring finger...... but it went deep because it immediately started gushing, and would not stop. Direct pressure, elevation, I tried it all, and it bled and bled and bled. Holy cow. We put hydrogen peroxide on it, and it just fizzed like a volcano. Put liquid bandaid on it, but the excessive blood flow kept it from taking. Finally, we just gauzed it up heavily, and bandaged it up. A few hours later when I checked it, it was still trickling. It's stopped now, but it hurts like crazy. Man, I think I am putting that Stockman away and going back to my trusty, reliable Bone Stag Peanut. Half stops are awesome.

Sounds like it was sharp.

Sounds like a few stitches were needed.

At work today,grinding and sanding many,many layers of old paint off an old Victorian Home,I had this Case - Bose dog leg on me It is a stout & tuff knife,modified with jigged paper micarta scales

After doing that nasty chore & cleaned up & home for the day,I pocketed this Halfrich 4" Backpocket shadow,I recently re-acquired Blue,green-black G-10 & CPM 154 SS

 

[Lanza]

That is a fine looking Rooster, Mr. D.

I posted this one yesterday on another thread, but I think it's pretty enough to show again. Case stag Sway back jack:

Stitches? Not for a gator wrestler. May not be the most modern or hygienic way to treat a deep cut, but when it didn't stop flowing, I glued it shut. Nothing crazy glue can't do.

Buck 110

 

[Todd A]

I made today my vintage knife day,a Robeson single blade barlow and a Imperial three blade utility.

I dont like flying either, anyway, the little pen knife is back in my pocket and I have a buck 112 on my belt at the moment.

ElCuchillo: been there done that, super glue has worked fine for me every single time. Glade you found back to your sole mate (case peanut)

Still got my stainless yeller handled Slimline Trapper with me today.

Re: cuts. My Buck 110, of all things, got me last week. I was polishing the bolsters and didn't have the blade locked, and it closed ever-so-gently across the backs of two fingers. They bled like stuck little piglets. And there's no spring tension on that knife!

Today it`s my Robert Rossdeutscher "friction folder style" slipjoint folder.
My good friend Hattie did a good job reworking the formerly boring grey stag. :thumbup:

I like that slippie because it`s got a pretty good carbonsteel blade and because of it`s beautiful and rustic look.

Holy cow, does that really work? Wont you get infected? How does it heal up?

Samething happened to me on a 80T. Then I learned to open the handle around the blade never blade around the handle. Best advice for slippies.


Today it's Case CV Yeller Peanut and AG TI Lock Back.

At the moment while I'm travelling in Europe (which is why I'm not here much right now) the trad. is a Nontron in carbon, about 3" blade which is begining to get a nice patina. The mod. is a Spyderco UKPK, 1st. Generation, i.e. black.
