Carrying my Schatt & Morgan Railsplitter this week in honor of Queen Cutlery. Nice solid knife that isn’t as beefy in hand as I thought it would be. I would compare it to my Case Sowbelly or two-bladed GEC Big Jack in heft. A little blade play in the two secondary blades, but otherwise well-constructed.
Did anyone go to the recent knife shows that Queen was scheduled to attend? Anything heard since the initial news release?

Great Schatt, Paul, lovin' the bone.

Those have tempted me.

This one had been MIA for a few months... found it in the floor in the back of my closet. Guessing it was in the pocket of some pants I hung up and that it dropped out... .5oz of 1095 goodness

 

[redsparrow]

Very nice!

Thanks Ratbert! The Churchill is a top-tier favorite of mine for it's pocket-able size while containing the two most useful blades (IMO).

This is a fantastic photo and a great looking knife. Pic of the day for me!

Thank you!! Very kind of you to say.

An old friend today, a Kissing Crane stockman that I got around 1992 or so.

Carryin' thread Graeff Schmidt & Son's Jack knife in smooth bone that I rescued. ...

...

Always a treat to see this butterscotch beauty and hear the thrilling rescue story, Ted!!

My slightly modded 25.

OMR, you may have had difficulty POSTING your pictures, but apparently no trouble TAKING wonderful photos! Wonderful 25, with its checkered bone, EO notch, and triple-thread bolster!

Yes . I will be trying to get 2 in the next run even though I only need 1 to fill it .

Carrying a couple more Northfield 77 Barlows today ....

Harry

Thanks for the update, Harry. I hope you're successful in picking up a pair of Barlows that please you! Gonna be tough to top the two you posted!!

Churchill's clip & sheepfoot in ebony... tough to beat

Very distinguished Churchill, James! What's the leather-clad case it's sitting on in the photo?

Good Morning!

Great knives everyone. I’m changing up today and I look forward to it. My new knife a week rotation makes me really use that knife.
...

I've always thought a weekly rotation is better than daily in helping me get to know my knives. I hope you continue to enjoy your new rotation approach!

...
LOL! Thanks pal Cool Electrician

Thanks, Jack.
What a pair of knives, and what a generous gift from Rob!!

View attachment 840173 These two for me today.

Outstanding orange SBJr, Tom!

Gray day, bright knife.

More optimal orange!! Gotta be a very satisfying (and often-used) knife, @Dschal !!

...
It appears that, under Phil Gibbs remembrance, the blades on most of my Bullet replicas are 440B (similar to AUS-8). However, since I don't have a definitive identification of the steel used, I will follow the COA and use "440 steel" and have edited my prior postings to follow. @Buzzbait, thanks for raising the question for clarification. This is another example of why I enjoy and benefit from participating in this thread. The belated research that I pursued has been enlightening on more matters than just blade steel, and entertaining. BTW, here's the 2007 thread: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/camillus-made-remington-repros-steel-type.474366

Sounds like you've been doing some informative, productive, and interesting research, Stuart! Thanks for sharing your findings!

Carrying this Utica that came in yesterday

...

Congrats on picking up another captivating cattle knife, Steve!

It seems to depend on the maker, GT. In Case brand land, the moose and muskrat are serpentine double end knives - the moose has clip and spey, the muskrat has two slender (muskrat) clip blades. The Remington replicas are more of the equal end or cigar pattern, like cattle knives. The Muskrat, with a slender clip and spey, would be more likely a moose in Case land. The Woodsman, with a slender clip and spear-like spey, would also be a moose in Case land. I can't guess at the logic of the Remington/Camillus naming of these knives.

I like your SAK selections, especially the Electrician (which is my go-to cigar trimmer).
-Stuart

Thanks for your thoughts on classifying your fantastic Remington reproductions, Stuart! Thanks also for the Electrician acknowledgement. That was my first Alox knife, and still one of my favorite models. Do you use the wirestripper cutout on the sheepsfoot blade for cigar trimming?

While it may not be Saturday, every day can be Stag Day as far as I'm concerned

Congrats on a sensational stag lambsfoot, Will!! Is that just "luck of the draw" on a normal online order, or do you have agents around the world who select knives for you??

I woke up this morning officially retired! Yesterday was my last day at work. My wife took me out for a celebratory meal last night. This morning I am Totin two Cases. The 6347 is a knife that I bought soon after I started to work in the summer of ‘73. The Norfolk is one of my latest acquisitions that I got just before my retirement. By the way all those years were with the same company. I’m looking forward to showing y’all the Norfolk after 45 years of use!

Congratulations on your retirement after a long career, Ron!! Knockout knives to commemorate the occasion!! I hope you have a long, satisfying, and stimulating retirement!!

...
I decided the carry something special today, so I grabbed a sawcut Beer Scout.

Breathtaking, striking, killer Beer Scout Knife, Buzz!! Hey, BSK BSK!

My pockets will be a bit lower today with my Remington Bullet replica choice: R1303 Lock Back from 1984, 440 steel blade and jigged Delrin covers. Slim, but hefty.
...

- Stuart

Another resplendent Remington, Stuart! At first I thought it was a gunstock lockback (which I'd never seen before), but that's probably wishful thinking on my part.

... My K9 gives to me several times a year and that’s why I eat poison-ivy.

Is this for real, or is there February Fool's Day on Feb. 1???

Thanks, Gary! Alox knives are cool (see mine below) and your Electrician is Arctic!
...
On the trail today, a Soldier.

Thanks for the Electrician comment, Dean; it was my first Alox, and apparently all it takes is one to get hooked on them! Splendid Soldier! What year is yours?

My lambsfoot is in my RFP as usual. This morning it helped me make breakfast tacos.

Lovely lambsfoot and cool pic, Greg! Breakfast tacos sounds so much more adventurous than my quotidian oatmeal!

Lotta noble nostalgia in your photo, Jeff!!

This Schatt and Morgan Barlow came yesterday and I am totally impressed. Centered and solid stainless blades, .925 sterling silver inlaid shield, brown jigged bone. I want to pick up some more Queen made knives since it's future is in question. Glad I got this one

Congrats, Paul!! The bone is astounding; looks like it's melting in your hands!!

I don't think I've seen a knife-and-dog pic I didn't like!

In my watch pocket this week are a Taylor-Schrade 44OT Workmate, and, as always, a scrimshawed Rough Rider small white bone stockman (thanks, r8shell):

I’m starting of today with these two. Things Will surely change throughout the day.

Congratulations on your retirement after a long career, Ron!! Knockout knives to commemorate the occasion!! I hope you have a long, satisfying, and stimulating retirement!!

Thank you Gary! They made me an offer that was mathematically impossible to refuse!
