What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Another " The End" ! A few more to go and I've read every book he has written :eek:

Today I’ve got my recently acquired Winchester 2857 from 1987. It’s in handled, probably as a display model but unused condition. Pulls are 5 on the main and a stout 7 on the pen. Nice and snappy with solid half stops. Blades came so dull it seems like they were dulled on purpose. They sharpened up just fine. I’m not sure what the pattern is? I’ve seen the same knife listed as a teardrop, swayback, torpedo jack and dogleg? From what I could find out, these were made by Queen for Winchester. This guy is certainly 100 times better than any more recent Queens. Almost as good as a GEC, not quite but pretty good. Absolutely love the jigging on it. You’ll have to google an image because no matter what I’ve tried, posting a pic on this forum just isn’t happening for me.

Chatoyant...
And another knife casting its spell!
An emerald beauty you have there Mr. Harry. A gorgeous 35. That's a pattern I have on my list and you've kicked it up the ladder with those pics.
Today it's the 44 in stag.

Thank you very much for the very kind words of my 35 my friend . You could waste a lot of time looking for one like it . It really is 1 of 12 Parts Knives made that were sold at the 2018 Rendezvous at Titusville . I do Know A Guy who has 2 of them though . I can tell you though that the 35 is a serious knife . I do not think you can go wrong on buying one to use .I hope you have good luck in finding a 35 that you like . Your Stag 44 is a nice looking piece too my friend . They are a nice pattern to have too . I like Gunstocks in general .

Ok gentlemen, this works for me. Keep in mind that I only use a lowly cellphone camera and upload straight to the forum- no photo sharing site.

Take the shot.
Tap on it and then tap edit.
At the bottom, select the little icon on the left. On an Iphone, it is a little rectangle with arrows circling it.
You can now crop the edges by sliding the borders inward if you want. Rotate if needed.
There will be a white rectangle icon on the right (above the “done” icon). Use that to reduce your image- 3/4, or 4/5 works. If you don’t do this, the site can’t load it and will give you a red message that it’s too large.
Play around with the coloring if you like- dramatic, warm, cool, black&white, etc.

Then hit “done”.

Now, on the forum reply to thread box, look under it and hit “upload an image”.
Select camera roll, or recent photos.
Tap on your photo. You should see a green check mark on it. Hit “done”.

The BF site will now start loading your pic. In the meantime, type your message. Select “full image”, and submit your reply.

Hope to see your photos!


Edit!- I just noticed your screen name. The Mets!?!? Sorry can’t help you.:eek::D
