Have some boxes to cut up later so I threw the 1912 Union Knifeworks Moose with the broken blade reworked into a box cutter blade. This was made back in the day when a good blade was an expensive commodity and you just didn't throw it away because it broke a blade, that's why you bought a knife with two blades.
Iron bolster, robust construction, steel back springs, crisp grinds and gorgeous swedges/swages , they don't make 'em like this anymore. Even after over 100 years this knife walks and talks like a brand new Tony Bose folder, that says a lot for a knife this old. I get asked all the time why I would use a knife over a century old like I do for cutting up boxes? Well because that's what it was made for... cuttin', so I cut with it. Here it is again for your enjoyment and certainly mine.

I'll carry and use this knife till I can't physically do it anymore. It would be a sin to let it sit on a shelf, especially when it cuts so well.![]()
Carrying the WT again today. Really is an exceptionally useful design.
Your 79 is a very attractive sleeveboard, Ron!
lambertiana and Ron, those are bewitching osage orange 73s!
Thanks for the maker info, Elgin; I appreciate it.Thanks GT! It's a Robert Klaas KC38. I don't know much about it, and just got it yesterday, but I'm loving it.
Thanks, Dan; I like to pretend that the many knives I carry each day give me incredible versatility and functionality.
That's very cool, Frank; I'll bet that was a fabulous honeymoon hide-away 3 decades ago!They also have cabins. My bride and I honeymooned in one of them some 33 years ago.
Thanks, Jack. Your pair looks good here, and on the pub table in a later photo scruff posted!
Gotta agree with everything Bob wrote here!Very nice Jack. Hope you fellas have a good day.

Remarkable rescue, btmac!This sad little Kent came in the other day a little beat up, rusty, and had paint (I think) all over it.
...
I tried to show it a little love to knock off the grime, but tried to preserve the character as well. Good cleaning,, stone time, and a healthy dose of 3N1. Now it's hanging out with me today at the office.

Man, I keep forgetting how scary sharp these old thin carbon blades can get. Wow!
Can anyone attach a date to this guy?
Congrats on acquiring on of Dean' renowned New Days, Dee; magnificent spey blade!
Noteworthy covers on both, Jack!
Outstanding pair, Dean! Congrats on the Schrade Walden electrician. That red TC of yours has turned into a Tree Climber!

Still have the Robert Klaas in my pocket, decided to cary the Cover too, and the Winchester just arrived today.
That is a fantastic Barlow!▲▲ Fantastic photo!! :thumbup::thumbup:
Today's knives: First is an electrician I got from Mark on the Exchange. I've been hunting one for awhile and this one fits the bill - a Schrade Walden in Cocobolo.
Second, what has become a daily carry - my Red jigged bone spearpoint TC Barlow. Don't know how it got in this tree!
