Those are great looking scales. Technically, the Case jigged bone from that era was just "jigged bone;" no fancy names like today's collector market. Some call it "red bone," but in vintage Case circles, that's a term reserved specifically for the deep red bone used on the '50s XX knives. It was all dyed with potassium permanganate, but the dying techniques changed over time, resulting in all kinds of color variations.
 
My new RR Sowbelly and my favorite knife- single 73.

This beautiful ol' Robeson rides with me today, lovely knife, lovely walk and talk, and the punch is a hard pull, and you got to keep those fingers clear....she bit me last night...and good!

Beautiful old knife, and apologies be damned, that's a very atmospheric photo, Duncan. The old leather harness suits that Jack perfectly. :cool:

Beautiful photo.
 
Thank bud. After I got that shot I sat there with my girl and the sunset started breaking through the clouds and made for one tranquil moment. It was a nice afternoon in the woods :)

It depends on what I am doing and where I am going. If I'm in jeans and doing chores around the house or around town then I have my Leatherman Blast on my hip or in my pocket. While if I'm a little more dressed up then I have started carrying the Leatherman Juice CS4. I was for years a Victorinox guy but I have found that the pliers simply come in handy way to often to not keep them close by.
 
Back to my Sway Back Jack today. Was taking my new Case peanut for a spin but needed something a little more robust today. Made the decision to switch when the peanut was a little overmatched cutting very thick plastic where the SBJ shined.
