This was my great-Grandfather's Case Trapper. I somehow inherited his bedside table box and found it in there. My Great-Grandfather was a working cattle rancher and one of the last true cowboys. For me this is a real treasure.

A treasure for sure!

That's real nice. , I too have my grandfather and his fathers knives. Grandpas is the Schrade uncle henry, although not real old. It's stainless but has cleaned more rabbits than j could ever count. Old pawpaws was the tiny kabar. It was his teeth. He would use it to cut up his meals very small and gum it down. Today, I carry grandpas (even though I have two new knives, just felt this today). I don't carry old paw paws.

Great choices again everyone.

Thanks for the comment on the Case Trapper Will. It's a great knife.

Carrying a Vic Popular and a Richards today. The Richards belonged to my uncle and was gifted to me by my aunt after he passed away. It means a lot to me.

Both knives are smashing but the 25 is just looking extra nice!

Thanks Gev, I'm very pleased with it

I've owned this for 30+ years and I've carried it maybe half a dozen times, it's a nice pattern I'm gonna give it another chance.

Thanks Jack and TsarBomba for your kind comments.

Carried only one today.

That pretty slimline is kin to a mini trapper I recently started carrying, Ken, and you are very welcome!

Fantastic patina on that Imperial Barlow, really dresses it up!

Glad to see that Camillus getting out in the world, Jeff! :thumbup:

Case Half Whittler

That red bone is outstanding, Mike! :thumbup:

Going for my Chamblin Whittler today, one of my favorite patterns!

The more I see that deep, rich blue, the more I want one.

As it should be! That is a historical trapper in that super sharp Case red bone and I'll bet your great grandfather would be proud that you are carrying it. :thumbup:

I grow more and more fond of the humble canoe each time I see these outstanding examples. Great knife! :thumbup:

I reached into my pocket to grab my 77 Barlow to find that it has developed a nice crack around the bottom pin. I was horrified. I just hope that it doesn't expand, because I've loved watching the ivory bone age. I would hate to have to have it rehandled and lose all that character.

Just put this one in my pocket too, it looked lonely.

Thanks for the knife Ed.

Not good at all - although good to know GEC would make it right.

Love the look of that old Case knife. I like my (fairly new) Case Canoe in Amber Bone, but it doesn't compare to that. :thumbup:

Going for my Chamblin Whittler today, one of my favorite patterns!

What a Chamblin Ernie, beautiful whittler.

Great looking bent gunstock Ben Glad to see it's treating you well with those love marks.

Got a fixed and folder on me today.

Hm..that's a real shame bud, perhaps a quick and dirty fix would be epoxy and then a buffing?

So many nice knives... I can't keep up lol
My carry past few days.. felt large at first but getting more and more comfortable with it.

Great image, Drew - really grabbed my eye!
