The aging on that peanut is stunning!

And thanks GT. I forgot but I believe the knife is dated around ‘36. The handles are celluloid.
The knife is in great shape, but it did see quite a bit of neglect along the way. At one point someone buffed the knife down, but the pitting remains from some serious rust.
I almost forgot to add that it’s always nice to see your swayback jack!

I was carrying my old Case 3318 since around 6am this morning but decided to carry my Teardrop S&M Harness Jack in jigged brown bone the rest of the day instead.. I went to use its extremely sharp punch to make another belt hole in my old leather belt because I recon I'm losing a little weight and I forgot how good it fit and how responsive the half stops were. :)

@5K Qs Thanks, GT. Those Cases are both beautiful and I do like blue, but that sway back and it covers - wow.
Half/Stop Half/Stop Bodacious Black Box, Ron.

Thanks Stuart! Remember what I told you about them at lunch last week! ;):D
 
I'm a little late in the day posting, but I have been totin' something special (to me) today. I have the Queen City English Jack (1925-1932) in my pocket, as I like its feel and blades. The other, bigger knife, is special to me today. It was made by Joe Cordova (Bosque Farms, Albuquerque, NM), who first started making knives in 1953, using old files for blade stock. He has been a member of the Knifemakers Guild and board member and chairman of the American Bladesmith Society (he achieved Master Smith in 1993). Following a shot-in-the-dark email that I sent out a week ago, I received a telephone call from Mr. Cordova yesterday. I had sent him pictures of my knife and he told me that he recognized it as one of his early ones from the early 1970's, and that the blade was likely O-1 or 440C. He was pleased to learn that it has been used to field dress a deer. We discussed knives for 10 minutes (I was oblivious to the time passing) and he asked me to send pictures of some of the other custom knives that i have because he knows/knew some of their makers. We are going to talk again after he sees them. I was (and still am) blown away!
