Been rather busy lately with the house hunt and such but our persistence has paid off! I've mostly skimmed this thread for the last few days so if I missed a comment or two, please accept my apologies.

Carrying a bit of horn today.

Something different today.

I have an old Scout pattern Case from the 80s in jigged plastic. What a great knife, almost identical to the Victorinox Pioneer

I love this knife! I think a spear point TC with wood covers is simply perfect. Do you know what sort of wood? Light ebony? Walnut?

 

[sitflyer]

Been about a hundred pages since I dropped in here this one has been in my pocket for some weeks now, these days I tend to fall into carrying a knife for extended periods, and the rest get occasionally fondled and admired, at least the ones within easy reach.

Macassar (light) Ebony. From the first production run. You can read in the Charlow Barlow History thread about the covers from this run. Jet black ebony is cool, but this stuff has a little more character. All the covers from that run were terrific; and I don't really understand why we don't get sawcut bone like that anymore from GEC. That stuff looks classic and timeless, whereas a lot of the bone of late to me just looks souvenir-ish.

Really cool stag on that one!

Really cool stag on that one!

Thanks! It didn't look quite like this when I got it, the middle "dog head" flat part is what was revealed when I sanded down a rather high ridge , as it was a little uncomfortable in the pocket. I think it looks kind of cool now.

I think you meant to say something awesome.

That would be a Camillus-manufactured Case scout knife. Depending on what year it was made in the 80's, it could even be the same #5779 pattern as my stag scout. The only difference would be the main blade, bolsters, and possibly the pins. If it has a longer flathead screwdriver, it's probably built on the old Camillus #14/4 pattern, the predesessor of the 5779 pattern.

Hi Stuart! Thanks for the compliments.

I'm usually pretty indifferent towards Northwoods knives (I'm in the minority, I know ), but I've always liked those Presidentials.

Heading out for a nice dinner tonight to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary (which is today) and selling our house in AZ (which closed yesterday). I'm taking my Minnesota Bull Nose with me, as well as this brass zippo that my wife gave me today.

That's a great looking bull nose, Barrett. Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary!

I completely agree with your Northwoods comment. I've had a few Northwoods, but the only one I kept was my Presidential.

Majestic Presidential, Dean! I'm susceptible to first impressions, and I still kind of think of you (and SadSappySucker) as the guys who carry the incredible Presidentials.

Big Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider marlin spike knife:

- GT

Thanks, Gary! I like the look of that Marlin spike!

This morning I carried this TC sheepfoot Barlow



and this afternoon an ebony Huckleberry Boy's Knife.

Wish I would have got lucky in the recent #77 drawings. Glad I have this classic though!
