George, that middle knife is a beauty. The scales, blade shape, and overall lines are all spot on. I can't read the tang stamp, who's the maker?

If I am not mistaken (and most likely am), that center one is by Mike Zscherny. I think he has one almost ready for me. :D
 
I'm carrying 3 today.

That's a nice trio! I mentioned it in the Hampton thread but I especially love the moose antler handles. This knife is the first I have seen with this handle material.

I have a couple of those knives but I haven't seen that green version with the jigged bone before.

I think Case calls it "Green Apple". The name of the color has a sentimental meaning for me.

The bright color stands out from most of the knives in my collection but I like the jigging and I'm hoping the yellow highlights mellow a little after use. The other colors from 2007 were Caribbean Blue, Periwinkle, Tested Red, and Orange. The colors from 2005 were Sunset Orange, Sky Blue, Salmon, Key Lime and Ultra Violet. I'm thinking that I'll also pick up the 2007 Tested Red and Orange.

"totin" a little 50's vintage MOP Queen today that my youngest gifted me.

That's a special knife to be carrying this fine Sunday, Ken. :thumbup:
 
I have two of the smooth orange and one orange jigged mini trappers. They are also my brightest knives but I think that they great, particularly when used outdoors.
 
Today I carried this old 3 5/8" Winchester stockman, which I recently found on a vendor's back "shelf". The back of the blade is marked '87. Feels like it was made by Camillus.
