Attractive patina. Cutting Fruit?

Thanks, the blue color in the patina is from cutting some very rare steak.

Another sublime Winchester! (What do YOU call that pattern? I've seen it called by several names. )

Thanks, GT. I think this one is referred to as a Tear Drop Jack by Blue Grass Cutlery, IIRC. I used to have a list of all the Black Box numbers / names / years bookmarked but I can not find it anywhere.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

I really like this knife. I was in the process of buying one when I saw that it said that the awesome flag was only on ONE side! I am new to collecting.....is this something that is done a lot?

Thanks guys. That slimline was made by Joe Allen. I bugged the original owner who is a long time member here to sell it to me years back. It was love at first sight. Thanks again buddy for selling it to me.(you know who you are )

Yesterday, I commented on many fine knives y'all posted recently , but I forgot to post pics of any of the knives I'm carrying this week. So I'll do that now (and maybe again later today if I get a break from the "project" my wife has set for me on this fine holiday ).
Stockman of the Week is a Chinese Schrade 89OT Blazer that I got last Christmas; "scalloped" sheepsfoot and came with a deck of cards!

Canoe of the Week is a Remington with burl covers that always intrigue me:

International Knife of the Week is a higonokami (thanks, Dan). Includes a little sheath/grip I made that's kinda ugly but works well.

Three great-looking knives GT

I might be away for a couple of days due to the early arrival of a house guest, but hope to catch up with y'all soon Enjoyed seeing everyone's 4th July carries. This is me for the next couple of days

I wonder if I should reshape the tip of the nessmuk to more pointy, something like the Grohmann knives. Retain the nessmuk shape but with less curve in the back and more acute tip. Cut it to clip point and then round the clip slightly. Thoughts?

Actually I'm beginning to change my mind. I have used this knife a lot lately in the kitchen, both outdoor and indoor. With this shape I can flip steaks, stir a pot, slice and dice. I chopped a bunch of herbs and vegetables with a rocking motion using both hands. The hump gave a very comfy place to put my left hand. The shape gives excellent controll. This tip is not a good piercer, but it can drill if needed. So the shape works in jobs I need it most, sacrificing some less important capabilities. Also the slightly tip heavy balance is great for light chopping. I have not batoned with it, but it cuts wood well with the scandi grind.

That's how you learn what works and doesn't work in a knife, from using them
