Oh, that Humphrey! Man, I went back and forth so much talking myself out of grabbing it. Congrats Gary, it's a beauty. :thumbup:

For TC Tuesday, I decided to carry these two.

That's quite the decision, Dean. :thumbup:

How could you not love the Evergreen Pick Bone?

"It went OK", did it, Jack???? My new nominee for understatement of the year!! What a stunning lambsfoot and awesome photo! :thumbup::thumbup:

LOL! Thanks pal, that is a nice group of knives, I particularly like the BSA knife :thumbup:

Great pair :thumbup:

That fab-looking Muley goes well with your Ohta Gary :thumbup:

Love seeing that one Gev :thumbup:

I've been over to see ADEE today, and had a bag full of 20-odd slipjoints! Plus this one in my pocket :thumbup:

Beautiful combo Dean.

Thanks, Bob! 😊

Surprisingly, it was the easiest decision I made today, Dee. I agree on the Evergreen Pick Bone, the color and jigging are superb. GEC really did a good job with the New Day TCs.

Great pair :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack!

Mine and my daughter's carry for the day. She wanted to take the picture. She must have been influenced by Tim (half off the rock) as she staged the knives as well.

It's proving to be a hard one to put down. Good to see that lovely TC!! Sounds like a good day with ADEE:thumbup:

Thanks Gevo.

That made me laugh! That was not the implication I'd intended: I just thought it was a nice "traditional" backdrop.

I know you keep your blades sharp, so I just inferred ...

Nice MOTS, Gary. :thumbup: I've been carrying a similar Imperial.

These equal-end MOTS Imperials really take me for a trip down memory lane. Do you know anything about Imperial tang stamps, Rachel. I think yours with the crown (1946-1956) and mine without (1936-1952) overlap during 7 years; is there some recognizable difference between the knives with those two stamps?

It does my heart good to see all the tin shell Imperial love these days. It wasn't too long ago they were looked down upon by many collectors as not worthy of any attention, the cheap throw away. ...

This old man sure likes them, Ted. So far, they're one of the few knives I can successfully sharpen!

Thanks for the kind words, Jack. Sounds like you carried far more knives than any of my daily totals!

Nice! Adalynn is already a better photographer than I am! :thumbup::thumbup:


My canoe this week is a Chinese Uncle Henry:

Actually, I'm also carrying a RR dogleg lockback mini-canoe as a watch pocket knife this week:

My Peanutesque knife for the week is a Chinese Schrade 18OT Mighty Mite:

My Euro knife of the week is a modified Opinel #8 (thanks, Dave):

Here is a thread with a couple of charts to date the tang stamps of yours and Rey's IMPERIALS.
Both great looking knives!

I was looking around after I picked up my first Imperial over the weekend. Got into a conversation with Phill and Ted about the possibility of instability of the celluloid, and how it can cause problems with other knives stored with them. Ted provided an interesting link talking about their chemistry and preservation. Here is the link Ted provided, a little long winded, but interesting.
