I know this is an old post, but I am relatively new to traditional knives and I was wondering what the knife on top is? The Northwoods knife. Thank you!

Welcome to Traditionals John H. The top knife is a Northwoods Hawthorne. They are made for Northwoods by Great Eastern Cutlery using their #48 pattern. :)

Thank you very much! Looks like a great knife! Do you know if they (Or another company) make a similar design but a little smaller? Thank you again!

Is that an old picture or current snow fall?

That’s current. We had a good snowfall that started Monday night and continued all day yesterday.

Barrett, I do NOT envy you that outdoor scene! :( (Although I woke up to about 2 inches on the ground this morning and it's supposed to keep snowing until noon. :thumbsdown:) Regarding vocabulary, I think the only magazine we got when I was a kid was Readers' Digest, and I was always a big fan of the "It Pays to Increase Your Word Power" section (and the various joke pages). The silhouette of your Bull Nose could easily be some kind of sheepsfoot swayback (ignore the choil). :cool:

Hopefully you don't get too much more snow, GT! My wife said yesterday that she'd had enough winter. I laughed and reminded her that she knew what we were getting into moving to MN. (I also reminded her that we'd only been here since the end of January, and that next year's winter would certainly seem even longer.) Personally, I'm enjoying it. I guess the novelty effect hasn't yet worn off for me. :D

You're right about the Bull Nose silhouette. It's pretty close to a mirror image of the Farm & Field #47 Hay'n Helper.

Yowza! That's a stunning pair, Stuart! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup: The Böker is such a fine example of the congress pattern, and the jigging and threaded bolsters are first-rate; Jeff's similarly-outfitted Böker stockman is also stunning. The never-seen-by-me shield on the KA-BAR gunstock is itself worth the price of admission!

Thanks, GT. I agree with Half/Stop Half/Stop about that fine looking Buck Cadet.

I like that shield too. If my memory serves me correctly, it depicts how the name KA-BAR came to be. A hunter sent a note to the manufacturer (Union Knife Co. maybe but I'm not sure) telling them how he killed an injured bear with one of their knives.

The note was so battered up that the part where he wrote "killed a bear" looked like KABAR so they decided to use that name. Something like that anyway.

That's the story that I heard, too, Rick.

More or less the story I’ve heard also! Certainly one of the better company origin stories out there.

Love the distinctive colors, including patina, on that TC, Dean! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: Thanks for the compliments; my toothpick is 4.25" closed.

My Bailed non-SAK of the Week is a Marbles "demo knife":

Thanks, Gary! Gorgeous Marbles utility knife. These were all over the place when I was in the Army (most of the 1970s). I never got one in service, so I had to buy mine later. :(

Everyone has displayed so many nice knives and photos today!

I decided on these two today. Kinda like a stockman in two parts.:)

NYKC Walden 1890-1932 and still solid. (The dates are derived from when that tang stamp was used and when the Guano Company was in business.)
