Two very nice traveling companions! Hope you have safe and successful travels my friend!!! ;):D

Today I am around the house and spending some time with this #47 Viper and admiring the Che Chen Rosewood. This one was my 1st Viper, a birthday present from my wonderful wife back in 2014. Hope y'all have a great weekend. :)

Thank you my friend, I got soaked going over, then scorched coming back! :rolleyes: Despite that though, it was a pretty good trip, I've just posted some pics in the Lambsfoot thread :)

Beautiful Viper :thumbsup:
 
@btb01 Jack Black Jack Black I don't know much about the Olsen model 511. It's handy and heavy enough to sink into your pocket; cutting edge is 1 5/8". Lee Olsen Jr. owned and operated the Olsen Knife Co. from 1950 in Howard City, Michigan (pop. 1500) until it burned in 1978 (the name/trademark was sold and used by others until 1985). He started out making custom fixed blade knives and was known for his hunting knives. He stopped producing knives at his shop and started contracting knives from Solingen in 1970. I understand, this may be when the folders came in, but I don't know.

Thanks for the information Stuart :) I have a much-prized Olsen fixed-blade, the boyhood companion of @paulhilborn, who very kindly gifted it to me :) :thumbsup:

Haven't carried this one in years but I decided to get it out, touch up the edges, and put it in my rotation. This is a 1989 Schrade (USA) SC505 full-size stockman and is my only non-stainless steel slipjoint*. It was found at a trailhead in Idaho sometime in the 90's -- no one around and no way to return it to the owner. The slip case is homemade from a scrap of leather and that's Andy the Android keeping a watch over it. The steel seems to be very nice! The perfect knife for a high-tech farm boy. :cool:

(I always forget to wipe off the blades before taking a picture. :confused:)

*Oops, I forgot that I have a Camillus TL-29 from the 70s.
