Thank you Harry, it's a bit of a departure from what I normally carry but man is it a really nice knifeThat is a radical looking , but very tough looking , knife my friend . Ramshorn is supposed to be about as tough as it gets . I really like the Texture and coloration of that one .
Harry
Please tell me more about this beauty... did a quick Google search and couldn't find anything.Going to carry something a little different today...and maybe tomorrow too...depends on how much wine we have.

Thank you; and yes, exactly.That Mackinac Bridge trapper is especially cool, Jer!What's a Mr. Rogers rig? A cardigan sweater with a knife in each pocket?
Thanks, Jack
I am already feeling better, It was one of those hit me quick and hard for a couple days and eased up.
It's weird, when I was young I only got the flu after a long night of hard drinking.
Good to hear you are are on the mend yourself.
Good morning all! I’m carrying the same Stag NF 77 Barlow as yesterday coupled with this large Rosewood Lambsfoot!

I’d like to report a RAoKG (Random Act of Knife Gifting.
I recieved a pm just before the end of the year from one of our resident Porch Dwellers, our very own r8shell.
When I went down for my morning coffee and to wish my daughter a Happy 28th Birthday there was a box on the counter by the coffee pot.
She told me it came yesterday but she’d left it in the car and figured I’d see it when I got my first cup of the day. I saw it was from r8shell and immediately cut the box open. I was very excited to feel the weight and see the bulky bubble wrapped package inside.
Here’s what I found.

It’s no mystery that I always loved her Imperial Platinum Edge Serpentine Jack. This little Knife is an amazing piece of Cutlery tech for its time. Long before coatings on tactical knives was popular these knives were were plated with a mixture of platinum and chrome. If you look at the edge you’ll see the difference and result of the polished coating.

I carry my often because it’s esentially a big little knife with a very petite frame it weighs practically nothing and it makes a great watch pocket knife. in the package was r8shell’s which was in way better shape, near mint and in the original box with papers.![]()
I also had a small collection of Queen Winterbottom Bone/Delrin Traditionals. Upon opening the package that collection increased by 33% immediately. Also in that pile of knives was my first “real” Winterbottom Bone Queen along with a few I didn’t have yet.
Here’s my little collection with r8shell’s additions.

Finally there was the Barretta Bascula, a sidelock folder using Sidelock plates from a shotgun for the handles. I have a Galazan from Connecticut Shotgun Manufactures that was very similar.
Thanks r8shell, you’re a dear friend and I am so grateful of your gift I’m almost speechless
... well maybe not completely speechless.![]()
.
Here’s a few pics to check out.
