That sure is a great looking knife Paul! Would you happen to have a spine shot to show the thickness??
I hafta second the Queen stockman, great size, my only complaint is the shield is glued and mine popped out, luckily I found it in my pocket but I know of 2 other members here who had lost theirs too. Other than that it's a great little knife and I enjoy carryin' mine every chance I get. If you can find one I'd highly recommend picking it up.

Nice knife, but a glorious brunch HST
Yesterday I attempted to make a horizontal leather belt sheath for my SAK Farmers. It was a failure of epic proportions. Undaunted and in fact emboldened by the experience, I am going to continue the project this week as I have about 7 feet of usable leather remaining.
For me today:

Nice action shot! :thumbup:
Thank you Jack & Will, 4" is a tad long, 3,25 a bit short. The 81 is 4", but remains an excellent option.Jack That Rodgers at 4" is quite a lot bigger than the knife from Queen at 3.25". It looks a relatively narrow knife though with some useful low joints, perhaps Jolipapa might consider the GEC 81 Abilene Stock Knife, they're 4" and much less bulky that the CASE Large Stockman (a fine knife but too big for my carry taste).
...
I really enjoy carrying and using this little simple slip joint knife by Loewen Messer from Solingen with a carbon steel blade and plastic handles on steel liners. It is simply called "Arbeitsmesser" (work knife):

Today I'm carrying a Case Barlow from the late 60's and Vic Pioneer that I found at the market this past weekend. I already have a Pioneer but I couldn't resist.

Great-looking Barlow Ken, and who can blame you for pouncing on that Pioneer:thumbup:
This WONDERFUL knife arrived late Thursday as I was headed out to ready my work truck for an early deck season, worked late so no time to chicken eye and coon finger. Up early and on the road to clean/prep 4 decks for staining the following day...no time for devotion:grumpy: Up early on on the road Saturday to stain the decks I prepped the day before, worked late and STILL, NO TIME for devotion.....UNTIL an hour or so before sunset today:thumbup:
Tomorrow will be a good day as this will ride with me all day long
I LOVE this Fish Barlow brother Mark!!!
