And a great looking 82!
 
I would usually tote and post these on Twosday, but I'm instigating a Two Trapper Thursday today, as I'm totin' this pair, mainly so that, when it turns to Thirsty Thursday around 5:00 p.m., I'll have something for my buddies to coon-eye and chicken-finger when we gather at our regular watering hole. It'll get the discussion started in the right direction. (A tip: a splash of vodka on a cocktail napkin works well to get sweaty fingerprints off knife blades, even everyday working blades like these.)

I have recently begun to appreciate slimline trappers; those are both beauties, Stuart! Which one is your favorite? :)
 
Just hangin' around today with a nice gents knife. Got others nearby if things change.View attachment 1091169

That's a very interesting knife Alan :thumbsup:

You misspelled "pie". Besides, I gave up desserts for Lent!
;)

I'll eat your share and bring back some balance to the universe. ;)

:D :thumbsup:

I see a lot of similar/identical knives on sale here Harvey. TEW also made some very similar knives too :thumbsup:

Congrats on the milestone, Jack, and for that fine wood-clad pair.

Thank you very much Stuart :thumbsup:

So several weeks ago, I sat down for breakfast with our friends Jeff @black mamba, Rick @Railsplitter and Scott @pearl2291. We enjoyed some good company and fellowship, and passed a few knives around the table before attending a local knife show.

That must have been a great meet-up Tom :) :thumbsup:

After 7.30pm here, and I still haven't posted my carry! :eek: Hope everyone is having a good week, Friday tomorrow ;) :thumbsup:

@Duckdog You figured it all out Stuart! Not really though, I live in Los Angeles, probably one of the worst cities to find old pocket knives. I just get lucky here and there online. I’d love to bring a lot of money to a good knife show someday. The ones out here(gun shows actually) that I’ve been to aren’t great. Never had luck at pawn and antique shops either. A classic pair you have today Stuart! I love them slimline’s. It’s one of the patterns that got me into traditionals.

@SteveC Gevonovich Gevonovich Fodderwing Fodderwing Great oldies you guys!:thumbsup:

Edit : @Duckdog I’ve been geeking out and reading up as much as I can on the 72’s. Such a great pattern with so many variations out there which makes it a great one to collect. I wonder what took me so long to fall in love with it.

Thank you fine Sir ! The 72s rock...good lord did you see Hal's specimen :eek:
 
John Lloyd told me he had made a series of knives almost 10 years ago in an assortment of different metal covers and engraved by Tommy Bsldwin of Tampa/St. Pete, Florida. This is brass with a blade of CPM 154 steel.

Thanks for the info Alan :) :thumbsup:
