Man, you're right, Drew - the pace of this thread (and of life) seems to just keep accelerating!I am already 10 pages behind lol... good grief. Saw some of you displaying your beautiful 77s (looking at you Harry!) and it inspired me to grab my one and only. Every time I do I ask myself how it ever left my pocket to begin with.

Thanks for the reading recommendation, Joshua.5K Qs
You should pick up Augustine's Confessions. It is what he's most known for, and a very interesting read--the first book of its kind and one very few have duplicated well.
Your GEC identification is better than you let on. That is a 47 Viper you see, and I was lucky enough to snag it on the Exchange. If I wasn't trying to limit my knife purchasing, I'd get another one. But for now I like to enjoy what others get to show off.
Fantastic bone coloration and texture on that pair, Joshua!!![]()
Raining here today. Bone is the choice of the day.
Handsome Humpback whittler, FBC!!
Congrats, Duncan, on that superb gift!!I want to thank my good friend Mr. Paul Hilborn for this absolutely gorgeous GEC..78 SpearPoint....

Thanks for sharing your memories, Jack!
For whatever reason, this photo of your Guardians Lambsfoot evoked a memory of Bob Dylan's "Watching the River Flow".
Sumptuous Sunday, Gev!!!Lockback Sunday

Thanks, Dean.
Another amazing double play, Stuart!!... A Craftsman Sta Sharp stockman made by Camillus for Sears & Roebuck sometime between 1927-1940, and a W.H. Morley & Sons sleeve board pen from 1913-1927. They are content to keep me company....

Thanks for the info, Tom; it's cool that those Jokers are so perfectly proportional to one another despite the size difference.
Thanks, Stuart!
+ 5K !!!Thank you, Will and Jack, the coffin jack is my favorite of the black box Winchester patterns. The knurled bolster just adds something special for me, along with the slender spear main.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, Stuart.Thanks for the compliments, GT. Case uses a lengthy and convoluted (to me) code of 24 pattern suffixes to specifically identify the blades and bolsters used on a particular knife if its pattern has several optional blades/bolsters, e.g., Sh for sheepfoot, Sp = spey, 1/2 = clip master (instead of a spear master). For multi-blade knives, where the pattern number a suffixes could get cumbersome, they cut the suffix to the last letter of the suffix, so a 6347HP is a 3 blade (the "3") stockman (the "47") with bone handle (the "6") and both a sheepfoot and a spey blade. I saw your SBJ, but am no longer covetous since I picked one up, too.

Good stuff, both of you!!
Man, you have a lot of classics in your knife matrix, donn!!...

Thanks Donn! And in fact I made a winter vegetable stew to go with the bread for dinner.Great knife but that bread is just asking for lashings of butter and a homemade soup![]()

I went with your choice Gevonovich. The Ettrick. And for today as well, but that'll change because it's Pancake Day here in the UK and I don't think Ettricks make good pancake slicers
