Primble - looks like we both carried EO's today, but your's takes the prize. I like the Crimson Bull Nose too. :D And as for that other IXL that is 'floating around these parts', I've had it's scales validated as a rare, genetically engineered combination of both stag and bone by the local Shell gas station attendant... and Bubba should know. He even went so far as to have his cousin Jethro over in Sheffield (Alabama) confirm his conclusion. ;) :p
.

Gevonovich - another home run. Stunning knife and photo! And an encore performance by your Chambers? Have mercy.

My wife hiked down and exclaimed that it looked nice enough in that spot for someone to set up camp.

A hint, perhaps, for an overnight campout? :)

My dad gave me a bunch of awesome knives today, and I'm carrying this beast (after a little flitz and oil, he used it well):

I really love folding two blade hunters, and yours is a very sweet looking example of a real workhorse :thumbup:

I don't see anyone jumping in and giving any kind of firm answer on the "pressed stag", if there is one to be found. I looked closely at that IXL through a magnifying glass and it clearly has pores. AFTER READING THOSE ARTICLES, I now believe that material to be pressed horn - pressed in molds, then dyed and made to mimic gnarly stag - then given the name, "pressed stag". You will remember that Case had a 6.5 bonestag that was just jigged cattle bone. I think the old cutlers came up with the name "pressed stag" to differentiate from real stag - not real stag, but, had/has a look of stag. That is my opinion for now and will remain until I see something that convinces me otherwise.

Can we see it again please? ;) :)

By chance, I came across a colour pic of an IXL 4-blade Senator with similar-looking covers in one of Bernard Levine's books. He gives them as 'genuine stag'.

Great-looking knife my friend :thumbup:
 
Carrying this Arthur Wright Lambsfoot in oxhorn today...



And a lovely old Robeson HJ given to me by Duncan when we met up in Sheffield last year :)

 
Been a while since I checked in fully. Let me drop these off first and I'll be sure to get a look around to all your nice knives guys.

Carried these two today

Haha! Yeah I used it alright. Retirement be damned :D

That some Russian Constructivist composition you got going on there? Looks downright Modernist. :)
 
Stephen, I've said it before and I'll say it again, that Joe Allen is one of my all time favorites!

Radio jack for me today (Sorry for the crooked picture, It's early, I'm sleepy, and I'm tired of fighting Photobucket!):grumpy:
 
Working on some stage rigging today, so brought along my uncle's WWII Camillus. Perfect for the job.
