Case Whittler made by Blue Creek Cutlery, it’s a sweet knife

 

[Pàdruig]

Been a particularly busy weekend for me. Built a desk for my office and got started on my bar remodel.

Two very nice knives my friend and a very well done photo .

Folks....tremendous quality, style, and fine detail make for one awesome piece of cutlery lore in those Lick Creeks ...wow !!

Those two look great together Dylan, stellar pic as always

Holy Size Comparison! Congrats on a fetching brace of knives, Dylan! I didn't realize how small the #14 is until seeing it next to your AC Lambsfoot.

Thank you, fellas, for the kind compliments.

A couple of little Jacks on a Monday morning..I hope everyone has a pleasant week.

I love the looks of that Boker, r8shell. I don't know that I see that tree shield all that often. Ebony?


Smooth white bone or smooth ivory bone is not a common cover material in my collection. Now that there are two, I figured I would pair them together today.

Gotta love the contrast of a fresh edge on an old carbon steel blade.

Cool pair and you're right about the contrast!

...

That's a happy white smooth bone family, r8shell!

...

Very fair pair you've shared, Jack; cutlery upper crust!

Arthritic fingers appreciate a ring opener. I appreciate the aesthetics of an old Schrade and an advertiser in NS/German Silver scales to boot. Who doesn’t love a Wurlitzer?¿

...

I've always admired your Wurlitzer ring opener, Ted, but I don't think I realized it was a Schrade until this post of yours.

Haven't gotten around to thinning out the Rough Rider yet

That toothpick and cannitler are a winning pair, Chip!

I'm totini' my Army mini trapper again today.

I think those are real appealing mini trappers, Wayne & Dean; I really like that shield and covers combo on Wayne's, and the starred bolsters and jigging on Dean's!

Here's a memory for you, Prester John !
Big time Pittsburgh fan here. My dad took me and my cousins to at least one game in that series. I was 10 years old.

Gary, your Lloyd is a relatively recent treasure, but that World Series memento from 1960 is priceless!

... Today it’s just this one Weck by itself again.

Wondrous Weck in the wild, Nick!

Scout again today

Super Scout, Paul!

...
Edit: knife content, technically carried them from about lunch time, when I bought'em

Congrats on the two new smooth bone trappers, David! How are you liking the looks of the Buck emerald bone so far? I've considered a Buck canoe with those covers, but your green looks much better than I was expecting!

29 months with the Peanut in my pocket, 22 months with the Maratac in my pocket. ...

Congrats on the milestones, Shawn!! (And on the Saints' big win Sunday; I always enjoy seeing my fellow Boilermaker Brees doing well! ) Does your post mean that your daughter is almost 2.5 years old already?? You apparently must like the Maratac, too. Is that a single AAA battery model? I'm looking for a good little light to help me find dog poop in the dark ; I had a little Fenix I liked, but somehow the battery leaked and I can't get it cleaned up enough to work.

Stupendous stag stockman, Dwight!! Is that a pre-KSF Northwoods?

Have a great Sunday folks

Distinguished dark duo you've delivered this day, Jack!!

I still have to make my Monday switch to new knives for this week, so I'll post pics of my Free Choice knives I carried since last Monday.
One is an S&M ebony (thanks, Jack) and the other is a walnut Rogers jigged bone mini copperlock with custom shield (thanks, Leslie):

Thanks GT, so far I really like it. I bought it from a local place, so I got to handle it before I bought it. Of those I looked at I picked the one with the deepest green. They also had the canoe and the stockman in this series. Fit'n'Finish is really good overall.

 

[Fodderwing]

Stupendous stag stockman, Dwight!! Is that a pre-KSF Northwoods?

Thanks Gary. I'm fairly certain it's pre KSF, although that still puts it as Queen or GEC?

 

[r8shell]

I love the looks of that Boker, r8shell. I don't know that I see that tree shield all that often. Ebony?

Yes, ebony. The Boker USA sheepfoot knife was originally some sort of black plastic, and Markesharp re-hafted it in ebony for me a few years ago. I was pleased that he could save the shield since, as you say, it isn't too common. He also sent me a matching clip blade jack. Its covers are plastic, but in better shape than the sheepfoot one was. They make a pretty nice pair.

Smooth white bone or smooth ivory bone is not a common cover material in my collection. Now that there are two, I figured I would pair them together today.

Speaking of nice pairs, those two look mighty fine together.

That's a happy white smooth bone family, r8shell!

Thank you, GT.

Real nice pair yourself, I really need to think about picking up a copperlock.

View attachment 1015590 Case Whittler made by Blue Creek Cutlery, it’s a sweet knife

I reeeeeeally like these a lot !!! Gorgeous one and hope to see it more !!

 

[Duckdog]

Today "again", Case mini trapper stag...

That is a beauty, Senhor Luso.

“Grabbed”?
Are you sure it was not “reverently selected with trembling fingers and slightly sweaty palms”?

Thanks, Jeff. Remember not to let the knives see you sweat or you lose all control.

A little nostalgic today, grabbed this 1971 red bone equal end #62055 Cigar Jack. Rock SOLID blades, pinned shield and the famed Case red bone

Gorgeous knife, Paul. Nothing like edging the bar a little higher.

I guess I didn’t get the memo that it’s Case Monday today but luckily I’ve this half congress with me.

Speaking of edging the bar higher! Sweet, Nick.

Beautiful pair of Case Jack knives Stuart! A pleasure to see them.

Thanks for the compliment on my Lambsfoot Stuart! I believe that Queen did obtain the bone and it was indeed old Utica stock. Hey buddy we need to talk sometime soon.

Thanks, Ron. You are correct on the Queen connection (Camillus produced some Delrin covered Winchesters later). The bone on your knife, of which 2782 were produced, is called Old Rogers and I have some notes that indicate that Jim Parker said that Charlie Dorton and George Smith (partners in Bluegrass Cutlery) bought the Rogers bone from Utica (although Queen had a very long history with Rogers bone, too, beginning in 1920s). Miss you, too, bud.

Built a desk for my office and got started on my bar remodel.

Very nice pale pair, Dylan. My wife mentioned that I should consider installing a bar in our walk-in shower, and I insisted that we stock it only with plastic bottles, tumblers, and jiggers for safety sake. She seems to have dropped the idea.

the other is a walnut Rogers jigged bone mini copperlock with custom shield (thanks, Leslie):

Yep, GT, that's the one.
