Well, I was correct and @Half/Stop was lurking in the vicinity of my home. I lured him into a local restaurant with a promise of lunch and we had a great, long visit over some fine victuals. Afterwards, we repaired to my house for a brief tour of my cluttered fishing/hunting/knife stuff storage area. (My wife was appalled that I would let someone see the mess.)

Ron seemed unfazed by the disarray and patiently listened as I pulled out the "pearl pile" and the "old guys" boxes. At lunch, he had graciously gifted me with my first GEC knife, a bird hunting beauty that I later took outside for a quick photo.

His wealth of information about some of the knives that we looked at made the time we spent talking seem way too short. I should have taken notes. Today, I was reminded just how much a little time on The Porch can boost a person's spirits and educate them, all at once.

Stuart, looks like my room kinda I agree, Time with Ron passes way to quick and you wish you had more time, he's that kinda guy, you know the type, kind, smart, funny, super generous and a wealth of info. We met at the rendezvous two yrs ago and had an instant connection, wish I had more time to spend with he and Pam, they are GREAT people

It's a neat thing when you hear of porch members getting to meet face to face, glad you two had a good visit

A bit of redbone to warm a cold and snowy morning, and a bit of elk stag (can I call it that?) to appease the Stagurday Poleece.

Received this one in the mail yesterday and love it.

 

[Spaten]

As the favorite hands for me are stag, today I carry one of the most beautiful Portuguese knives, for me, on top of a quince fruit...

Wow!
That is a beauty of a blade.

Recently arrived, and into my pocket.

What a score !! Gorgeous

The #14 TC Barlow is seeing a lot of pocket time.
I've already Flitz-ed off some patina and the blade etch along with it.

Well, ya know, Paul and Gev, that before @Half/Stop got his mitts on the "mess" it was more orderly, kinda like your grandmother's sewing table. But I turn my back for just a minute and look what happened. Like a badger digging a burrow!

Saturday faux stag.

 

[Duckdog]

One of the knives @Half/Stop and I pondered over was this folding hunter by a mystery maker. I have four knives by this maker but can't find any information about whose mark it is.

Ron noted the oddity of the shield being on the pile side.

Anyone recognize this mark? Opposite side of tang is stamped 1979.

That’s good to know. Either patina and blade etching or no patina and no etching. Not sure which way I should go with mine.
