"Excellent sheath, Ryan; congrats! Does your 77 Barlow fit in that outside snap pocket of the sheath?"

Unfortunately it dosent lol, that little pocket is was meant for a sharpening stone.
 
Jack, that William Rodgers looks phenomenal!

Thanks Erik, fantastic photos my friend, particularly of your 77. Glad you had a good hike :thumbup:

I'm carrying this Schrade-Wostenholm Gunboat Canoe today, very kindly gifted to me by SP a while back :) :thumbup:

 
Day 3 of inherited traditionals in the pocket - today it's a Camillus New York camp knife with red jigged delrin covers. It has carbon blades, brass liners, and what I think are steel bolsters, but they could be nickel. Insane snap on every single one of the tools. I can't wait for GEC to make a camp knife of this size.

You gotta love handsome natural patina. I think the tang stamps falls in the 1960-1976 range.

Another beauty, Jeff; I'm enjoying your showing off your "inheritance"! :thumbup: From where did this scout knife come?

Again today



Harry
Again today :D

More of the sawcut red Northfield Barlows; I haven't paid any attention to that model before, and now, suddenly, I'm noticing them all over, and they look GREAT, jrawk & Harry & Ron!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks GT! My Blues pair seems to work, so I am going to continue to carry it on game days until it runs out of luck. Outstanding Canoe, more pics of that in the future please and thank you :).

Also A+ Alliteration Again sir :thumbup:
Tough hockey game last night, Tom. :( Did you remember to wear the same blue checked shirt along with carrying the blue pen and blue Alox?? Mojo is a mysterious mistress! (Enjoyed your alliteration! ;))
Thanks for the compliment on the I*XL canoe; here's a shot of its tang stamp and the serial number on the bolster, which matches my birthday (in DD/MM format), and a shot of the closed blades showing the interesting construction.

I still enjoy seeing the bone on those Rough Rider's you've got, GT!

I'm carrying this Cattaraugus Barlow today (after some internal cleaning and TLC). It's small, light and easy to carry.

Thanks, Dean; I like my amber jigged bone RRs very much! I also admire that little Catt Barlow of yours; I don't know anything about how most things are made, so the small cursive script on the bolster of your knife seems a totally amazing engineering marvel to me!! :thumbup:

...
I like the 25 pattern a lot :) Really glad Paul introduced me to it :thumbup:

I learned something new about the Schrade-Wostenholm line from Stan Shaw today. I didn't realise that some of the knives were carbon steel, and that they were genuinely made in Sheffield (unlike the ones which had blades made by Camillus). Stan actually made some of them himself when he worked for Wostenholm, and he showed me one of the Stockman patterns that he'd made :)
...
A very long day today, and I'm tired and aching from it, but as well as a chat with Stan Shaw, I got to have lunch in one of my favourite pubs, and picked up half a dozen old Sheffield knives :) I had this old William Rodgers (another firm Stan worked for at one time) in my pocket :thumbup:

Thanks for the interesting info about the Schrade-Wostenholm knives; were they only made for a couple of years? Glad you could get out and about with things to do, and people to meet, and places to eat. ;)


Joseph Rodgers with terrific ebony covers:thumbup:
Very nice tip-bolstered Rodgers (whether William or Joseph), Jack and Ernie! :cool: I think one of my summer projects should be to find an example of a tip-bolstered folder.

If you're fishing for knife compliments, biomed, you've got a strike! :D That big old 54 looks fantastic!! :thumbup:

Showed up today, and right into my pocket. I wasn't sure if I'd carry it, but after holding it, it's too good not to.

Congrats on hitting the gunstock jackpot, Ben!! :thumbup:

Thanks, GT! I've always loved the saber ground clip blades that Buck uses. They sure do know how to make a pretty clip!
...
Thanks, Erik! That little Buck is the first knife I bought when I caught the knife bug in January 2014.

Fabulous photo(s) of your knife and hike! :cool:

Thanks for getting back to me, Ryan; a sharpening stone pocket is a good idea, I guess, but I'm sure there are all kinds of uses for that little pocket. :D

Awesome canoe, Jack; that photo made me think of the film "The African Queen". :thumbup:;)

My Beagle came in yesterday. A fantastic knife!

Congrats on your new Beagle, Macchina; I'm sure you'll give it a good home. :thumbup:

A couple of knives I've been totin' all week are a 5" Rough Rider fish knife and a Tarmundi I got in Sevilla, Spain:

Yes, just for a couple of years GT, there's a couple of long-standing threads about these knives (at least one in the Schrade forum) :thumbup:

Thanks for the kind words :) I bought the small narrow boat for Carl, but don't have his new address.

Always a treat to see your Taramundi :thumbup:

Have a great Friday folks!
