GEC and @Lee Tigner made it easy for me to decide what to carry this week! A huge “Thank You” to Lee & Melissa at Olde Towne Cutlery for hooking me up with this beautiful stag #44 Gunstock Jack.

They sure cherry picked a special one. Thst is an elegant looking stag jack knife. I wasn't sure how I'd like it without the shield but after seeing your photo, I'm a convert. Enjoy Ted.
 
Started the day cleaning up some downed limbs from a storm and was carrying this old Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoot .

Then these came in the mail and they immediately ended up in my pockets ,but safely encased in some leather slips .

Bulldog Tabacco Barlows : One with a Spey master and one with a Sheepfoot and both with a small Pen .
One with the Normal Curved handle and one with a Reverse Curved Handle

I think that paulhilborn paulhilborn just got one like the one with the Shield and posted it and in a round about way became an Enabler again .



Both Main Tangs have the Fighting Dogs and the Pen Tangs have the English Steel 1986 and the Fighting Dogs . The Main Tang back sides : Spey Blade has S.&D. Cut.Co. over Hammer Forged over Solingen over Germany //// Sheepfoot Blade has Bulldog Brand one Hammer Forged over Solingen over Germany . The Spey Bladed one has the Federal shield and the Sheepfoot one has never had one .

Bone Color is green on both

Thank you very much @LastRodeo

Yowza,Harry!
You should be very happy with those two. Amazing!

I wondered if that heavy weather was hitting you last night. I could see a lot of lightning way off in your direction, too far away to hear the thunder. I actually had hopes it would swing this way ~ could use the rain. Hope you had no serious damage.

I am a Happy Guy Jeff . I had searched for one of these Tobacco Barlows whenever I am out and low & behold I get an offer to buy them from @LastRodeo . I really only wanted the Sheepfoot but Mike wanted to keep them together . Very glad I got both .
We did get 1 & 3/8 inch rain and some rain and we had a few limbs down but no serious damage . Thank you for asking my friend .

Thanks, Alan! I told Lee what I was basically looking for and he took it from there. The covers are very well matched, too.
If you haven’t dealt with Olde Towne Cutlery before, they live and breathe customer service. They are also building a brick & mortar store just up the road from me, so my wife may have to hide my wallet and car keys! :)

Imperial electrician, used it here to cut off caulk someone put on that outlet. Replacing the sheetrock under a window. This Imperial has some strong springs when it goes from halfstop to open you'd best have a good grip. Or it'll go flying :eek:! But its still only bout a 7 on the pull.

Of course this one rode along today:rolleyes:

Fresh cheese curds are great, although I think they’re even better fried. :D

It’s been a while since I’ve made pimento cheese; I’ll have to remedy that soon. Homemade pimento cheese on Ritz crackers with a glass of sweet tea is just about the perfect afternoon snack in my opinion. :thumbsup:



Nice personalized pocket slip, Jack! (That #77 BF knife ain’t too shabby, either!) :cool:



Is that a kitchen knife or a small machete? :eek: :D



Sorry to hear you missed out on that Rendezvous TC, Ron. :(



Good looking knives, Randy. How do you like that #66. That's a pattern I've passed on so far, but have been curious about.



Nice smooth white bone #78 you've got there. Did you do the EO notch yourself? It fits the knife well. :thumbsup:





Great jigging on both of those, and the tip bolsters are fantastic! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:



Beautiful acrylic on that one, Paul! Your friend from NZ must be quite a guy! :D :thumbsup:



Jack, I remember you mentioning the West Indian Carnival last summer. I believe it was around the time that we were visiting my brother in Bath.





Man, those look delicious! It's been a while since I've had one, but I have to agree with SVTFreak -- when they're hot, Krispy Kreme donuts are about as good as a donut gets. (Sadly, there are no Krispy Kremes in Minnesota. Heck, it seems like there are hardly any donut shops around here at all. I wonder if Minnesotans just aren't that into donuts? It's a bummer. :()



That's a nice quartet of Case knives, GT. :thumbsup:

I've been carrying this Tidioute #72 Lockback for a few days. I love how smoothly/easily it opens and closes, and the lockup is solid, but after a couple sharpenings the blade still touches the backspring a bit if I let it close on its own. For now, rather than sharpening away more metal, I just stuck a piece of leather (the same as I used for the lanyard/fob) down in the blade well to keep the edge from hitting the spring. Works perfectly, and eventually, after a few sharpenings after use, I'm sure it will no longer be necessary.

Thanks, Jack. :)
By coincidence, my schedule this week has me carrying an Okapi identical to yours as my International Knife of the Week. :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Couple of classic curvaceous knives, Ron! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: I hope your plant reaction isn't too bad and you'll be back to 100% ASAP. :thumbsup::thumbsup:


Nice RR peanut, John! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: It's about time for my Labor Day buying spree, and I'm likely to order my first RR peanut (in amber jigged bone) and at least one of the RR yellow-handled carbon steel folders (probably canoe and sowbelly). :)


Things go better with Coke!! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Pleasing photo of your TC with the distinctive coloration, Dean! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Champion Calf-Roper, Ken! :thumbsup::cool::cool:

For the second week in a row, I have a surprising (to me) number of Case knives on my schedule.
As always, I have this chestnut jigged bone SBJr (from a BigBiscuit GAW):

Thanks a lot Barrett, the slip was a gift from Barry @gunstockjack, he does some great work :thumbsup:

This year has flown hasn't it?! Last year was the 50th annual carnival, with the poor weather over the weekend here, it's been a bit quieter this year. Some photos and video here: https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/best-in-leeds/whats-on-news/leeds-west-indian-carnival-2018-15077453 :thumbsup:

That's a great shot of your #72 my friend :) :thumbsup:

A Lambsfoot is a great start to the day Harry! ;) Love those Bulldog Barlows though, I had not seen one before paulhilborn paulhilborn showed his the other day :thumbsup:

Disappointed to wake up with my back still sore today, and after our three-day weekend a four day week always throws me. Weather is pretty miserable too :( Thought I'd treat myself ;) :thumbsup:
