Thanks, HST! :) I don't wear a tie often (probably fewer than 50 times per year), but I'm always on the lookout for "meaningful" tie bars. I'd like to get a nice baseball-related one, and I really drool over the working slide-rule tie clasps! :eek::thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup::D


Stellar stag, Stuart! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Interesting info about your knife, Stuart! :cool::cool: Thanks for looking into it! :thumbsup: I'm a avid fan of canoe patterns (not much blade variation among canoes, though), and also drawn to equal-end patterns, so your knife really caught my eye! :thumbsup::thumbsup:


I like that name a lot!! :D:thumbsup::thumbsup::D


Thanks for the kind words, Dean! :thumbsup::p I seem to have you fooled!! ;);)


Very cool, Steve!! :D:thumbsup::cool::cool: The "spinnability" of a knife definitely adds to its quality! :cool::cool::thumbsup:



Ace & Ironbut, those old Staglon Uncle Henrys are classics!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Very cool, Gev!! :thumbsup::cool::cool: Is that the main blade that's lived such a rich, full life??


Literally pocket jewelry, Tom!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Very desirable teardrop, Will!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Something old, something new, both look marvelous, Jack! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks, Jack, you articulated much of the charm that trio has for me!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Wondrous whittler for the win, Bob!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


:thumbsup::D:D
Nice Case! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: Are there initials on the shield?


I can relate, Ironbut!! :eek::p


That tiny script "Cattaraugas" is one of my favorite bolster stamps, Rob!! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:


Stunning stag 83, Alan! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Thanks, Stuart! :) I like that trio so much that I ALWAYS carry them in addition to whatever knives I rotate through on a weekly basis.


Jigged wood, Jak?? :confused::cool::cool:


12 hours on a Saturday night seems less than ideal, Ron, but that copperhead should ease the pain a bit!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


:thumbsup::thumbsup:


Yowza, that's a killer canoe, Tom! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Congrats, Wayne!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


That spear/coping Eureka is fantastic, Paul!! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:


Another commendable Barlow, Steve! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::cool:

Used this Imperial (that I dearly love) to fix breakfast, lunch, and supper today; rather than finding separate storage for this MOTS celluloid knife, I just leave it on the kitchen counter at all times! :rolleyes:

It would be even better of a name if I was good enough to draw the DUKE on the handle with my grandfathers old electric pencil.

Btw I thought I was the only one who spins and OLD TIMER, I often spin my 33OT on a table when I'm carrying it. Who wants or needs a dumb fidget spinner when you've got an OT in your pocket :D

The open blade was a pen blade....now its a punch ;) The main blade is closed in the pic and has been reshaped. Both have beartrap snaps and no wobble though. The thing that grabbed me is the design of the integrated cover/liner plate which is recessed to accommodate the cover material, which is some composite ( injection molded ?) to fit in the recess. The bolsters are soldered onto the plate. I wonder if Jake has an expanded diagrammatic :D of the design patent.

Good eye, GT. ;):thumbsup:
It was given to me by a friend, and those are his initials. The story as I remember it, is that a friend of his saw it for sale in a thrift shop and bought it for my friend because it was already monogrammed. What are the odds? I'm going to guess 1 in 676, but I'm not the mathematician... :p:D
 
Busting out the rain coat today. I'm ashamed, honestly, that this ebony #14 hasn't been in my pocket more often. Every time I handle it or slip it into my pocket, I realize that it is absolutely everything I need and desire in a single blade pocket knife. The simple, bare head design with gorgeous ebony handles and way more blade than seems capable for this frame is classic, svelte, and warm. I cannot praise this blade enough. I simply am in love.

I'm going light today with just one pocket knife. The NKCA 1978 canoe by Rogers-Wostenholm (NKCA indicates it was contracted through Schrade?) with jigged deep green bone scales, spear main, two pens. No. 2708 of 6000. This was the fourth consecutive year that the NKCA released a club knife.
