At least one of them is a trapper

Got this one yesterday. I wasn't going to buy a stag #14 but this unusual one really spoke to me.
I call it the "Runt" because everybody was passing it over in favor of the more exotic looking stag.

An old Case 5254 trapper i can’t remember where i picked up. I just got the whim to tote it today so i sharpened the blades and oiled the joints and stuck it in my pocket. I have no idea how old it is but it has a nice patina and the main blade still has some snap to it.

John, unfortunately, it not an exotic make, I believe it may be made by Rough RIDER. I am quite pleased with the workmanship and quality on it.

That one has seen a stone or two.

Agreed, two fine gentlemen indeed! The Runt is looking good!

The Runt is looking good!

Thanks. The "Runt" needs all the compliments and morale boosters it can get.

A beautiful Unity Lambie, Jack, terrific jigging! I've been carrying 2-blade jacks for a couple weeks, and I'm starting to go through withdrawal for a stockman, so this one goes in pocket today. 1978 Schrade USA built Parker-Frost Bison in brown jigged bone.

Beautiful knife and photograph...wow

I’ve seen my grandfather carry knives that looked like that and now I know how they got that way. He would sharpen them on the concrete window sills in the barn all of the time lol. No time to get a real stone out when there’s lots of work to be done

 

[Pàdruig]

Good morning, folks.

It is a nice cool, misty morning after a rather stormy day yesterday. I have these two close at hand today.

Trouble is, when I carry tue trappers, only one if them sees action. The whittler gives me options, and I’ve already used it to clean the tip on my pressure sprayer. Now to find a job for the trapper!

Some of us resemble that remark!

Fetching knife.

That's a high-class pair, Tom! Thanks for the props for my knives. I revived my old 3-strand braiding skills developed in the Calvinist Cadet Corp to make that lanyard from a leather boot lace. I often attach a carabiner or a Nite-Eze S-clip to the "free end" and clip it to a belt loop.

My carries this week happen to include quite a few gift knives.
Alox of the Week is a Vic Classic (thanks, Ken):

non-Alox SAK of the Week is a modified Vic Recruit (thanks, Greg):

Bailed non-SAK this week is my Colonial Forest-Master, my first ever knife that either my parents gave me or a classmate gave me at a birthday party about 1960:

Stockman of the Week is a Case CV chestnut jigged bone sowbelly (thanks, Ron), pictured with a Case chestnut bone Sodbuster Jr that I carry every day:

- GT

Thanks GT, WOW that is cool that you still have your first knife

@5K Qs Always enjoy seeing your Case Soddie GT.

Weck.

 

[Whetstone39]

I have a bit of a fingerprint patina on this Winchester, not sure if I can Flitz it off without affecting the branding.

A 2013 jigged yellow bone Farm Boy for me today

Now that’s a fine knife, Paul! That was one of my first GECs, and remains one of my favorites.

Those Farm Boys are sure remarkable knives, Paul! Sort of a GEC mini trapper, I guess?

GT, in my (admittedly biased) opinion, the #15 Farm Boy is an improvement on the Case Mini Trapper. (I don’t much care for those slim Turkish or California clip blades, so I definitely prefer the clip blade on the GEC.)

Morning folks Carrying these two today, my Unity Lambsfoot, and the lovely #25 Barrett kindly gifted me last year

Looking good, Jack!

I’m carrying a WLST today, too. I bought this one from Bob (BigBiscuit), who added the EO notch, which I really like on the spearpoint #25.
