Good knife. Great backdrop. One of the most underutilized books of the Bible. If more couples read and understood songs, there would be fewer divorces, I believe.
 
@5K Qs GT : Case came out with a series of 8 different patterns in the Walnut Rogers Jigged Bone in 2016 I believe . I was lucky enough to receive all 8 of them as gifts from my children . I seldom carry any of them because I want to keep them Like New . My favorites of the 8 are the SeaHorse Whittler and the Mini Copperhead . The attached photo of the 8 is just for your edification and not because I am carrying them today .

Cool pic, hot knife!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
My riches can't buy everything... I sit and watch as tears go by.


Fabulous pen knife! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: I have one just like it, and
wild, wild horses couldn't drag it away!



Versatile carries, r8shell r8shell ! :cool::cool::thumbsup: So many knives, so little time! ;)
"There's no time to lose, " I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind?


That is certainly NOT a gin-soaked barroom Queen from Memphis, and I love the color: gimme the honky tonk blues!


Congrats on the GEC #15 and welcome to The Porch, @Small Change ! :thumbsup::thumbsup::)
Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth (?) and taste (??).
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.


Thanks for the info, PJ. :)
Time is on your side, yes it is, if you've had that beautiful bull that long already.


That's quite an admission, Dean, considering how many first-rate TCs you have. I wouldn't have guessed that this Ancient 2.0 could ever break, ever break, ever break, your heart of stone!




Ace, your knives are like a rainbow; they come in colors everywhere! ;):thumbsup::cool:
Paul & Ken, same goes for your birds; lovely shots! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


:thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup: That's the dynamic that makes The Porch go, I think!





I appreciate your kind words, Stuart & Harry & Shawn & Ratbert. :) Harry, I know you've got (or at least had) several knives dressed up in the walnut Rogers jigged bone like that mini copper lock @Leslie Tomville so generously gave me, and your examples made me aware of how attractive that bone/bolster combo is! LOTS of folks were fired up about it when Case first brought it out, and I never lost my enthusiasm for it.
Shawn, I don't know a ton about that little Colonial.
I know it's only a Colonial, but I like it, like it, yes I do!
It's 2 7/8" long, only 3/8" wide, stainless, and, surprisingly, it doesn't have the crimped-on bolsters/covers I expected to see. The celluloid covers are a bit loose and rattly. No idea on the age.


I like the theme of your photo! :cool::thumbsup:;) But I have some kind of problem: I see a green knife and I want it painted black! Like the next two knives. ;)


Joshua, how does that clip blade even fit in the handle of that knife?? Cool optical illusion! :p




When I see old Barlows like @JohnDF , @Atiger , and @SteveC posted, I sing to those old knives:
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you


I've said this before, but I was getting a bit worried, not seeing a post from Jack,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right, Jumpin' Jack Black is a gas.


Old pics or not, those knives come to my emotional rescue! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Saw this in the Stag Sat. thread, and was so bedazzled by the stag that I didn't notice the gorgeous drop point blade! :eek::thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: That knife can start me up, and make a grown man cry!


Yowza, Jason! :eek::cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
With no rope knives in our boats
And no Barlows in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
Lanny, I still love that pattern…
There ain't a woman that comes close to you…
Lanny, Lanny, ain't it good to be alive


W:eek:W! That's a unique photo! :cool::cool:
Knives are different today
I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness is just a bore
What a drag it is getting old


What an outstanding duo! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I'm no school boy but I know what I like
Your knives are totally out of sight
Brown Sugar!


Thanks for posting that old friend, Duane!! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup: Until I saw it today, I couldn't get no satisfaction, though I try and I try and I try and I try! :p

Gary, I think that we can all agree, that nobody puts as much thought and effort into their post as you do. Thanks for being a big part of making the porch such a great place to hang out!

Man! You work fast. A lot of skilled steps go into removing a blade.

. . . er . . . hahahahahaha . . .
First a W. C. Fields quote :
Sucker: Is this a game of chance?
WC: Not the way I play it, no.

and a photo is worth a thousand embarrassing explanations.
I just hope you will speak to me when we chance to meet again. :p :D
I mean it is a fifty dollar knife . . . right ?
PS: I did discover that smooth sided auger bit file gets in there to file the tang without scratching up the brass liners . . . too much ;)

Yes as soon as I saw one I had to have the Trapper. I love the scale color and the lines across the bolsters.
Before you brought them up, weeks ago in fact, I was wondering if mine had faded ?
I swear the brown was richer than it is now.
Here is an old photo from when I first got the knife NIB and a photo I just now took in as close to the same light as possible.
I know some die is fugitive but I would think Case would be using high quality pigments.
. . . am I dreaming or has anyone else noticed this ?
PS: not only are both blades insitu but I have not carried this knife much and it NEVER sits in direct sun light.
PPS: I may have wiped it down with rubbing alc once, maybe twice but it isn't like I saturated it; just some on a cloth.

PPPS : I'm relieved to see the knife buffed off the abrasion lines on the spay blade; see second photo. Nah that must have been some kind of box tape glue or cinnamon roll goop. Who knows.
Maybe that was why I got out the rubbing alc in the first place.
