I didn’t start today with these, but bought them at our local annual knife show. The Camillus is supposed to be pre 1940, but I am not an expert. The custom fixed blade is about 6 inches in total length, and 1095 steel.

Thanks, Gev, and all who "Liked" my old Robeson. I was at the local knife show with Tom S. (as well as Railsplitter Rick) and picked up a couple of decades old Case knives. We had a fine time!
2000 6249 CV Copperhead in smooth white bone and CV...
1998 61549L SS Copperlock in burnt white stag bone...
Tom & Jeff, it looks like you guys had a successful knife show experience!!
Stag 26 today.
Stag 26 from Ken and stag 25 from Senhor Pinto are both incredibly handsome knives!!
...
Sweatin’ is one thing I’ve been doing a lot lately at the Y!
But I never carry any of my knives or firearms in there! They really frown on that!!!
Keep it up, Ron!
I guess the theory is work hard in the gym and shed some pounds so you don't have to work as hard out of the gym just living your life!
Company tonight, so Crown Lifter.
Somehow, the reflections in that photo are producing some optical illusions for me!
I think I count 4 liners down by the EO notch.
Congrats on that slim slicer, FBC!
That red jigged bone is real attractive!
If I take a traditional, its gonna be this one. The scales are what sold me on it - they are not so slick that this will fall out of my fifth pocket. And if it doesn't have a pocket clip, it has to fit in the fifth!

Nice Carhartt stockman! I have a Carhartt mini trapper that's also good stuff.
Saturday is sharpening day.
...
I managed to put a straight edge back on the sheepfoot blade of the Case Stockman that Trevitrace gave me. It's more like a lambfoot now, though.
Great job of reclaiming that blade, Rachel!
...
Thanks, GT, and It's still a mystery. Loki is all puppy, through and through.
Mr. Keith was quite a guy, GT - a man of many parts. Stephen Hunter is a fine fiction writer, but I got to know his work and enjoy it early on when he was a movie critic for
The Washington Post. I read almost every review he put out. He was, also, the only writer (if not only person) at
The Post who knew which end of the gun you point toward the target. His short essays about movie firearms were erudite and informative.
With all of the Kissing Cranes flapping around the Porch recently, I decided to tote this one today:

Thanks for some background on Hunter.
I knew he was a film critic, but I've never read any of his reviews.
Very cool knife, Stuart, but I don't know what to call it!
Stockman blade set-up, except for the spear main, and the shape of the frame is also rather unusual!
Thanks, Gary. The knife is just over 4 inches long, about the size of a trapper, but half the weight (only one blade and one spring, no liners, and the stag is very lightweight). It does not have the ratcheting sound (my next one probably will!), but does audibly click open. And yes, it reminds me of the toothpick pattern, too.
Thanks for the additional info on your classic navaja, Vince.
Kutmaster and new Hammer Brand.
Nice pic, and congrats on the Hammer Brand.
Celluloid covers? Do you think there's been some outgassing or is the corrosion just general neglect?
Thanks for the correction, Gary.
It is indeed a Cadet with all the proper blades.
Thanks for the info, Dean.
I didn't know if "LE Classic" was some sort of special designation for a special annual edition from Victorinox.
Today's knives are a 1980 Case appaloosa Barlow (a gift from Paul Hilborn - thank you so much) and a Simmons Hardware Germany penknife in stag.
A couple of vintage knives with real panache, Dean! Love the stag on that pen knife!
Thanks! This is a Wostenholm.
I meant to include the blades in the original post, but kept getting an error message, so I quit.

Nick, Mike, & Stuart, you boys brought out a bonanza of beautiful brown jigged bone!
Thanks Gary. It's an "under cover" canoe, a ... "submarine"
It's unforgettable, whatever you call it, Dwight!
...
Very nice indeed GT
Thanks, for the affirmation, Jack.
...
It was a pen blade with a broken tip, so I re-shaped it into a coping blade. But now that you mention it, it does have the taper of a teeny-tiny lambsfoot.
...
Here it is with more from the same piano:
Thanks for the additional info, Rachel.
You sure have worked some magic with those piano key veneers!
Stellar knives, Gary. Truly out of this world.
I appreciate your support, Joshua!
Thanks GT! And yes, I scored a pre 1940 Camillus and a great pocket sized fixed blade from a local maker, Evan Miller. Fantastic carries, that EO is gorgeous.
I had these two with me at the range today, which were hopefully not too embarrassed by my awful shooting. Practice, practice, practice
...
Thanks, Tom, for your kind comments.
Your Camillus scout has great colors for the rocks on your "other" shooting range!
Thanks, Vince.
