• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

It's fixed blade Friday. Toting this old Gutmann 461 that was always in my dads tackle box when I was a kid. Tip was broken, I reground it years ago. I blued it, or maybe its a vinegar patina? I don't remember. I made the sheath. Think its been sharpened a few times?

Cool pic. Toting a stag knife myself (lambsfoot) and a S&W .38 Special (rosewood grips).

Look at how thin the frame is, barely thicker'n a 2 bit piece

Look at the secondary blade, as thin as it is someone still had the skill to put a swedge on it. It's so thin it flexes like a fillet knife almost 90* and springs back straight with no ill effect.

The back of the secondary is so thin it almost looks like a sharpened false edge

Thank you, Gary! You have another two beautiful ones today. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Carrying my newest Case Barlows today . Stag made in 2012 and purchased in 2014 and the 2019 Smooth Antique Bone . Both knives .31 or 5/16's at thickest part of Bolster and a shade over 3 & 5/16's but not 3 & 3/8's as advertised . Very happy to have each knife . Sorry for the lousy low light photos .


But I am also carrying one of my old TEW's just in case there was any work needing to be done .

The TEW is 4 & 1/8 inch

I noticed that the Stag Case Barlow's ( which I have rarely carried ) bolster was not very shiny even after I rubbed it down with a clean soft cloth so I compared to my Northfield 77 Old Red which I have carried a lot .

Beautiful Bulldog Barlow; you have so many excellent knives!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Thank you Mr. Gary, yes I have very good knives, but I would like to have many more, that would only be possible if I were in the United States of America.
Here in Portugal it is very difficult and expensive to buy knives outside the European Union, I returned a knife because the Customs wanted me to pay € 76.00, after having paid € 60.00 to the seller, this is unbearable and greatly increases the cost of the knife...:thumbsup:

Wow! That is robbery!
Just bought a knife from Spain and the shipping was incredibly expensive.

I have really enjoyed seeing the knives you have posted.
