Great Imperial and Colonial Scout, GT!:thumbup:

Thank you Gary. I agree about the Hobo Nickels, yet they intrigue me. I rec'd one in change some twenty years back and have been interested ever since.
I like your Scout my friend:cool:

This great Pal Cutlery Scout, full blades with no play period, steel liners and gorgeous chip and crack free bone...THANK YOU MARK:thumbup:

Another wonderful Scout, Paul! Do you know the manufacturing time frame of this one?
 
Please forgive me if these images don't belong in this thread - I couldn't work out the best place for them. But I think they indisputably speak of a very long knife tradition. I spotted this item in a museum in the U.K. Incredible to think about who made and/or carried this knife. I'll fully understand if the mods place this somewhere else.

Thanks Mitch, the tang stamp reads Pal Blade Co (in a crescent/arch shape) dating it between 1939-1945. From 1945 forward it changed to "Pal Cutlery Co".

Sounds like a fantastic day! Cheers!

I carried my Kabar Dog's Head Coppersmith all weekend.

 
I have these two with me on this beautiful Sunday morning. I am just sitting around admiring the craftsmanship and beauty that each of these exhibit. ;) Blessings to all! :)

Outstanding pair Ron :thumbup:

That's a cool knife (and coin) Paul :thumbup: I had also initially thought it was smaller :) :thumbup:

Hope everyone has a good Sunday :thumbup:


Awesome knife and picture Jack:thumbup:
 
That's so wonderful to know at least one of his knives is getting out in the fresh air. :D
Have a great Sunday.

THanks r8shell :) :thumbup:


Great-looking Lambsfoot Brett :thumbup:

Glad I can make someone smile every now and then. :D Rachel, I basically can't NOT carry that stockman; it's my custom pocket knife! I suppose technically every knife is unique in that it has its own existence, but that scrimshawed RR is truly one-of-a-kind. There are lots of white bone small RR stockmen, and I'd guess a few of them are scrimshawed, but I can't imagine there's another that has a fine feather on one side and Euler's Equation on the other. As one of my students remarked when I was showing off the knife to a class, "I'll bet there's not another knife like that in the entire universe!"

It is a very special knife GT, I always enjoy seeing it :) :thumbup:

Jack, your Stan Shaw lambsfoot is astounding in so many ways! :thumbup::thumbup: I especially love the swayback shape and the splendid stag! Great photo, too! :cool:

Awesome knife and picture Jack:thumbup:

Thanks guys, the mural of Harry Brearley was painted in Sheffield to mark the centenary of his discovery of stainless steel :thumbup:

Decades apart in age, but these two seemed to go together somehow. Hope everyone has a good week :thumbup:



 
Nice knives today, folks!
Erik, I gotta get me one of those KA-BAR Dog's Head Coppersmith's! Nice!

Brisk morning here in Central NY. Along for the ride.

Gary, I love the Case/Bose Norfolk. Tough one to find. I wish Case or another manufacturer would do another run of those or, if from another manufacturer, make one the same size as the Case/Bose. I know GEC made some for Northwoods and Queen made some of the Winchester Black Box versions, but they are all just a hair over 3". A bit too small for my liking.
