And with encouragement from the colorful covers on knives posted by @5K Qs andJack Black and others, I am throwing this Camillus model 65 stockman in Butter & Molasses (1960-1976) into my other pocket.

Love that blade geometry. Is the knife darker on the mark side or is that just the lighting?

Day 7 (and last day) of carbon steel cycle. Now they are all sharpened up, carried and oiled up inside and out (well, when I put this one up in the morning anyway). And it’s a fitting and completely unintentional finale to use this one on the day I consider the start of my Christmas season! Yes it’s early, and we won’t decorate until the day after turkey day but only because we holding that feast here this year. Normally I would about a week before. Yeah, I’m that guy. I love this time of year lol! This ugly beauty will get carried quite a bit for the next two months.
