Interesting combination of textures on this whaler.

What a fine looking cutting tool.

Congrats! On both, but I know you've had your eye out for vintage Catts...

Thank you very much Jeff !!! I have always watched for Catts for the last 4 years . I think that I now have 10 or 11 of them . Just too lazy right now to go count them . They have a distinctive noise when they close that I have never heard of with any other brand except my Old Taylors Eye Witness knives that you have handled .
I see that you are doing some Modding . The picture that I have seen looks pretty good . Maybe we need to talk and do some trading my friend .

Here is the first to see the light of day .

Magnificent pairs for Timber Thicket Thursday, Ron & Jack!


...

Meritorious melanoid pair for today, Jack! Thanks for the kind words.

I've added a category to my weekly carry - Lambsfoot of the Week. This week it's this 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot with horn handles:

- GT

Thanks for the compliments my friend, I like your new category

Thanks, Jack! GT does have a way with words.

He is the Ace of Adjectives!

Nice to see that one Ken I think you might have missed a post I made a while back (a good while back now)...





Tang stamp reads 'Rodeo' over 'Sheffield' over 'England' if I remember correctly

I have to admit I didnt know you were the proud owner of one of these unusual specimens .
Where did you find it ?
I thought that they were made for and distributed to the colonies and sub continent ?

Ken

PS - I also have a double bladed one like yours , but the main blade was damaged and I reprofiled it to a strange kind of Sheepsfoot type blade .
I think I might add it to the list of to be carried over the next few weeks .

I forget now Ken, it probably came from a fleamarket I think. After seeing yours, I was glad to find it, particularly as it had a tang-stamp. I don't know anything more about them, but if they were made for export, and even for a specific contract, knives come back, and there was always a lot of 'leakage' from the Sheffield factories (and from the smaller firms and individual cutlers they sub-contracted work to), both out of the front door, and out of the back. I'll look forward to seeing your two-blade

I'm carrying this 2012 GEC Krack-A-Jack today (for the weekend). It has my favorite Clip blade, something about the way it was ground just looks "right" to me, and the shield makes me laugh. The mule reminds me of Francis, the talking ARMY mule (from an old comedy movie I liked when I was a kid). OH

We are expecting a heat wave, so pace yourselves and hydrate while going about those Saturday chores

Or put those chores off for awhile. After all, tomorrow is a big holiday!

That's my "Grail Knife"... Some day I will be lucky enough to own one too.

Rather than pout about not getting an Ancient TC Barlow, I'll carry a century old Jack! (much easier to find)

This little ebony lockback is monopolizing my pocket, need to reprofile the edge when I get around to it. Wish it was SS but GEC hasn't made SS Tascosas yet Enjoying blackberries from the back yard.

It's a stellar Stagurday in Northern Virginia today, but about to get stifling. Case 53087 and 5347, both from 1940-1964 era.

(For some reason, my phone won't upload the pic of the pile side - maybe later.)

Edited hours later to add the uploaded pile side. Whew!

Been a little busy this week with family in town and getting ready for a graduation. Been packing the Boker to work all week so I thought I'd just continue.

The 6208 just keeps finding it's way into my pocket more and more often.
