Sweet! I bet mine looked like that in its youth. :) Are the covers bone on yours? If so, that's a nice upgrade, though I do appreciate the ruggedness of Delrin when digging through boxes at flea markets, they are rarely cracked.

They are Delrin. I just found this on the 'bay recently. NOS. Love it what a great length and width. Really enjoy carrying it.
 
Very cool Oldie, Ken :D:thumbup:

Hope you're enjoying yourself over Christmas/New Year.

Regards, Will
 
Thanks Will, and a very best to you and your all!

It's busy here with family and friends and I'm having a great time!!

Have a great New Year!!

Ken K.
 
Have a great time at the coast, Jack.

THanks r8shell :)

Thanks, Jack!



That Tidioute 66 looks like a really good carry, Jack. Have a good trip!

Thanks Dean, I haven't carried it much this year, but the #66 is one of my favourite GECs :) :thumbup:


Great pic of your Scout Buzz :thumbup:


I love the look of that Baxter Ken :) :thumbup:

I'm taking these three off to the coast with me, all the best everyone :) :thumbup:





 
It's 1.30 am here so time to retire.

But this is what I will be carrying in the morning. With all the eating & drinking of the past days I confess to feeling a bit out of sorts or what people in the last century used to term 'liverish' :eek::barf: I need something green so I'll be reaching for this Kryptonite Owl on rising :cool: It actually has some pearl swirls in it too and I find its colour a weird tonic :D

The Krytonite should do the trick, Will! That's a great looking knife. A short fast always help me back to equilibrium
 
That wallstreet is a home run! The pair is stunning and great photo:thumbup:

.
That is a great pairing Love the Wall Street. I have one with a spear. It's my favorite so far.

Beautiful, Dee. It looks like they were made to be twins! :thumbup:

Thanks for the compliments, guys! Gev, it certainly puts one on the scoreboard :thumbup: & I can see why it's a favorite :cool:, Alan. Dean, that may be because of the same parents (GEC) ;).
 
I love that checkered bone! I don't think I've seen one with that before on the gunstock.
.


Thanks you very much Rookie82 .
I think it is a fairly new run of Gunstocks . I believe the box had a Build Day of sometime in September . I think I saw it first in the last Case flyer that I got .
They ran a series of 5 or 6 different patterns with this Checkered Bone. Their pictures showed them to be much darker though .

Edit added : The actual color of the knife is closer to the first picture . I can't explain the big color difference . It was outside lighting with No Sun involved.

As requested, here are a few more pictures of it. They're older pictures as it's pouring out today.

Thanks Gevo, couldn't help thinking of GT as I grabbed the protractor. ...
Alan, I certainly noticed and appreciated the protractor, but feared that I might seem too geeky if I commented on it! :rolleyes:

'Tis the Season

Somehow I almost missed this cool couple of 77 Barlows with complementary colors for Christmas. :cool:

Thank you for all the compliments, Gary! Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
...
Gary, thank you for the compliments and wishes for Happy Holidays to you and yours! :)
Thank you, my friend! i hope your Christmas was wonderful for you and your family. Happy New Year as well:D:thumbup:
Dean and Ron and Gev, thanks for the holiday sentiments. I hope you all had a Happy Christmas, and I wish each of you all the best for 2017 and beyond! :thumbup:

...
Thanks GT, the bread tokens were given to the poor so that they might exchange one for a loaf of bread :thumbup:
...
Thanks for the interesting history lesson, Jack. :thumbup:

I like your knife and photo, Captain! :cool:

Todays carry : Rogers Jigged Walnut Bone Mini Trapper
...
Case Chestnut Checkered Bone Gunstock...

Harry
Congrats on a couple of fine knives, Harry! The Rogers walnut mini trapper looks as attractive as your others in that series, and I'm always happy to see checkered bone handles on a knife! :thumbup: (I wasn't even aware that Case did checkered bone until I fairly recently saw a Peanut that Shawn posted with that style covers.)

My ever present Buck Cadet and a yeller Case pen that my family gave me for Christmas.

Clay
Congrats on the Case penknife, Clay! :cool: I may get evicted from a certain cult for saying it, but I think I like Case's pen better than a Peanut! (The Peanut seems to have far more handle choices than the pen, though.)

Case scout

Yeah. It's true love. I even bought a backup, in case something happens to this one.
Wow, Buzz, is it that easy to find those Case scouts, or should you be admired for the depth of your love and dedication? :thumbup:

...
Thank you, Gary! Yes & Yes..... ;) :)

Today's carry.

Pretty pair, Dee! :thumbup:
With regard to your having multiple Wisemans, my daughter in Madrid says that Kings' Day on January 6 is a bigger holiday there than Christmas on December 25. Something to keep in mind ... ;)

...
Today it's a Sheffield Baxter and a Vic Cadet II.

That's an ancient and awesome pair, Ken! :thumbup:

...
I'm taking these three off to the coast with me, all the best everyone :) :thumbup:





Have a safe and pleasurable trip, Jack! :thumbup:
Your phrase above had me humming "American Pie" with modified lyrics:
The three knives I admired most... took the last train for the coast. :rolleyes::D

Some of the knives I'm carrying for this last week of the year appear here.
This week's stockman is a 4" Taylor-Schrade 61OT Slim Premium Stock Knife:

This week's "big" knife isn't really that big, except in my mind it's a monstrously nice knife, a grail - a GEC 85 with buffalo covers, EO notch, and secondary modified to a coping blade (thanks, Paul):

This week's "miscellaneous" knife is a Rough Rider Barlow:

This week's Alox is a Cadet II (thanks, Ken):

Have a great day everyone!

Ken, I just had to chime in on the Baxter. Great bone, love that it's a single and those rat tail bolsters are the best. A wonderful Sheffield example! Thanks for the additional pics.

Been carrying this most days for the last week or so. Don't see any need to change just yet. :D
