I'm just learning about these old school knives after years of buying newer spyderco's, benchmades, Lionsteels, zt's and even Crawfords, and I must say they are so amazing. I am really intrigued by the old school style, beauty, and timeless design. Knives that are actually made to cut things. Every one of them is unique and all things considered, a great value compared to what you can get from the major manufacturers. I look on Knivesshipfree's website and see these incredible GEC,s, Northwoods, etc that can be had for the price of a lowend griptillian, and it amazes me that something of such quality can be had for what relatively lower end production blades cost. I cant wait to pull the trigger on my first one, but want to learn more before doing so. As I learn my intrest keeps changing, but am getting close to getting my first. This has become my favorite thread!

I'm in your boat, after I said something stupid here about a lack of nice slip joints under the ~$60 price point I had to look for one.

I ended up with that Stockman, I'm getting to like it.

Thanks a lot GT! The Forum Knife has been long overdue for more pocket time, though I think the shield is the thing I like least about mine. I've sanded the worst of the sharp ridge created when the well was let in, but it's still a bit of a dirt trap. Here it is when I first got it :thumbup:

I guess stag is tricky stuff to inlay. When I first got mine, I thought I'd have to sand down this sharpish area around a pin, but it doesn't happen to be in a spot that bothers my hand in use, so I'll leave it be. It is sort of a point of interest when rubbing the knife like a worry stone. I carried it all through the long holiday weekend and just today switch out for these

Great backstory to your photo prop, Tim.

Thanks Dean, I love old dried out wood pieces. My mother has a couple mantle pieces of fossilized wood that has become hard as rock..I'm sure they'll become knife display photos someday

Felt like a TC kinda day

Ain't nothing like a TC Day Drew, great progression in the collection of TC's

My father left this behind today for me to touch it up some. Gonna carry it as well.
Fausto's give away knife.
He's been eating his daily fruit intake with it and it shows.

I got this at a flea market awhile back. I mention that because my wife told me today she'll sponsor a flea market trip to look for another old knife as my Christmas present this year. She's pretty much taken my collecting in stride.

Freebie Old Timer stockman I have been carrying for a few days. I had to rescue it from a rusty life of neglect.

Not as sexy as most of the knives on this thread, but it's one of my favorites.

 

[Gevonovich]

Thought I'd try something a little different today.
The Buck 110 on my belt has been replaced by a large Rough Rider sunfish (in a medium size Case sheath)
Since the sunfish has the same blades as a canoe (only much larger) I put the Case canoe in its box (the Ulster BSA knife stays, for the can opener and punch/awl) For a lock back, I thought I'd give the Rough Rider 020 (with smooth white bone covers) a try. At 3 5/8 inches closed, it does not require a belt sheath. That gave me a spear point, pen, and a drop point. For the sheepsfoot, I decided to pocket the 11031SH 9 dot I was gifted some pocket time. I'll see how it goes being without a clip point and spey blade. Worst case, I guess I can put a stockman in one of my other pockets.
So for today, a large sunfish, scout knife, small lock back, and a sheepsfoot.

Thanks Jim! The sheath is from forum member Claude Scott, he did a really great job and was a pleasure to work with.

Except for the occasional day carrying something else, my Schatt & Morgan sheepsfoot Barlow has been my daily carry for the past month or so. The more I carry and use it, the more I love everything about it.
