That is one fiery knife Gevo. Is there a history on that piece/correlation between the name and the covers? They definitely look scorched
I admire your self-control, Tim! Gotta be hard NOT to carry that one! :thumbup:
When I have a watch pocket this week, this Schrade USA+ 93OT will be in it; when I don't have a watch pocket, the 93OT will be tucked into a whittling thumb guard in my left front pocket.

Haha I've whittled my selection to my top 20 now so it's a nice way to rotate all around.
Great looking coping on that Schrade.
Indian River Jack for me today. The black and the white.
The last few days of carries, assuming I can get anything to post on BF today. :grumpy: I shall try to add my comments to other posters after making this initial post, which seems to be required as BF works out some sort of bugaboo between their servers and Cloudflare's. If my responses never appear, it is because I am getting hit with the dreaded error 524 again.
Two phases to today's Stag Saturday. Morning:
This afternoon meant offloading the big fixed blade in lieu of this little fella:
Sunday was another lazy, hazy, crazy day. I only had my challenge knife pocketed and it never even put blade to material. It was a quiet Sunday.
Today's "back to work" knives. The Case tuxedo is my EDC Challenge knife for the week:

It was a barn find from the Northeast and I just assumed it met some fire at some point in its life. Since its a Shapleigh Diamond Edge ...fire knife or fire diamond sounded like a good name for it.
I really enjoy the knife and it has great walk, talk and snap. Thanks, Tim!!The Indian River is a gem!! Cool pic as well!
Tom
Much appreciated, Sir
:thumbup: Thank youSuper combo as always!!

Gev, That's an interesting old Diamond Edge. :thumbup:
Tim, I really like the white and black contrasts.

I guess something about the quoted text (total length?) is really disagreeing with BF or Cloudflare. I had a complete bear of a time posting on Saturday well into Sunday morning, and that appears to be continuing today. I took some good advice and saved the text of my post in a text editor, so some of these comments are now days old, but I hope to eventually get them posted. :grumpy:
(It appears the only way to post things is to trim them to a certain limit, and an exceedingly small one, at least for me. Figure out what that limit is and you might be halfway to solving whatever problem is happening between Cloudflare and BF.)
That trapper.
Easy access to that Sheffield steel doesn't help, I imagine.
Great little Micarta sheath knife.

I've just filled my fourth, plus another model, a dozen or so cigar boxes, and various other boxes, drawers, cupboards, etc

Yet another early start tomorrow, and I already have these with meHave a great weekend everyone :thumbup:

Replies, continued. :grumpy: :grumpy: :grumpy:
Congrats, Jim! :thumbup:
Turns out you did some fantastic work. Nerves of steel, huh? A NYKC Primble knife!
Ugh, isn't it such a sick feeling? Time stops when something unfortunate is in the process of happening to a treasured knife. I know your pain. Time to dull it with a new acquisition.
Spectacular stag as always, Harry! :thumbup:

Finishing up my first ever shield inlay on this NYKC barehead jack:
Need to peen the shield pin and then finish - hopefully the old bone won't crack !
I got it finished without incident. I have peened proud pins with loose shields many times before, so I kinda knew how to peck the pin. I am happy with the new look of the old knife. The shield came off of an old New York knife that had missing bone on the mark side and had been laying in a drawer for more than a year.

Love me some Barlows but that buffalo horn Queen is really royalty.
Congratulations and happy anniversary! I wish I'd been among your groomsmen!
It really is my favorite of the three, for the blade selection and the color of the bone (I like blue only a little less than green). Does the Wharncliffe have a particularly broad spine like the Case seahorse?
I received that exact same knife (I believe) this week. Does it have a TB prefix on the pattern number? I assume that indicates it's a Bose design, though I wouldn't have guessed from the swedging or other usual clues. Still, it's quite a great knife for my first tearmdrop jack. Hope your weekend gets better, Frank!

Oh, you know it! Or overalls, as the case may be.

Very nice knives today Primble and Gevo .
Have my 83s with me today
The Car On The Lake is still above water today even after the warm weather we had for 4 days. Still above freezing today though.

This is not how I wanted to get my post count up.
The recurring Cloudflare problem appears to be back with a vengeance. Dealer members are steaming in the tech Q&A forum. Perhaps there have been too many wonderful knives posted in this thread...
Thanks, GT, I picked up one more last night that matches Mac pretty well. My Barlow addiction may be in trouble soon.
I imagine that Case didn't start off with that wicked Wharncliffe for a pen. Jonesing for an example of that pattern with the character yours has. :thumbup:
I generally prefer green (and, to a lesser extent, blue) but the old red is so classic and even the newer red looks good in most cases (see what I did there? ). Your #18 is a knockout, though - what does Case call that color, anyway?
While my internet connection is unusually good today, the site is running slow for me, and pics aren't loadingHope everyone is having a good weekend. I'm carrying these two today

Congrats on the recent peanut coups, TsarB!
My Taramundi has "scorched boxwood" handle, IIRC.

Time to start "revealing" the knives I'll carry this week. They include:
a stag bone stockman (thanks, Randy)
a Kutmaster GS knife
and a big Buck 2-bladed toothpick

A fine example of that intricate scrolling on those Schrade bolsters. I've noticed they are awfully hard to keep really clean. :grumpy: I think maybe next week's challenge knife will be one of my neglected Barlows from this fine company.
No doubt you'll be returning with more knives than you leave with.
That's an interesting set of blades on that bad boy. I have so much more to find in the Schrade world.
Some beautiful red bone on that daddy Barlow. :thumbup: Who's the maker?
That is one psychedelic folder. Talk about hitting the bone jackpot. Remingtons everywhere are jealous.
More outstanding stag, Harry, but now I'm getting hooked on your updates about that rental car's fate.

Off over to Sheffield early in the morning, and I won't be back home until late

GT I love that 93ot!
I carried the 71 again today, although the 77 barlow made a few guest appearances.
Getting some character on that 71 Erik. Nice :thumbup:
Away from home work for a few weeks so only a couple made the "cut"
This is one ...

A knife to be proud of, Primble.
Along with the Presidential, I'm carrying this chestnut bone CV stockman today. I'd forgotten how much I like it.

Lotta beautiful knives today. I went small and only carried this one.
