. @traumkommode masterly modded the blade into a Lambfoot. The finish on the stainless steel is sublime.

I’m pairing these two again today. It’s hard to go wrong with Ironwood or Red Sawcut Bone!They are two of my favorites!
Certainly a beautiful pairing Ron
Stunning pic Dwight
Very nice Jeff
Thanks a lot John
This is proving to be a potent pairing.
Excellent
I'm mixing things up a bit today. The Camillus is still with me, but I swapped out the Case mini-trapper for a punch stockman in yellow Delrin. I vacillate between these two patterns, as to which I love most.
And for show and tell, I have a Case burnt amber bone Backpocket knife, with 154-CM blade. The covers were originally a bit light in color for my taste, looking almost like oatmeal. So I eventually dyed them a bit deeper, and I'm very happy with how they came out. Overall, the Backpocket is a wonderful knife. Nice and slim, and not too heavy for its size. The big clip blade is beautifully styled, and cuts like nobody's business. Nice jigging on the covers.
If I had to pick a weakness in this model, I'd say it was the half stop. The pull is so strong and there's so much travel in the blade as it springs to the half stop position, the nail nick tends to rip right through your finger nail. I'd really prefer that this knife didn't have a half stop at all. But it's a minor quibble. I own quite a few Backpockets, so they couldn't be all that bad.
I've always thought that was a very good-looking pattern
Looks like you've got all the bases covered Buzz Received this #15 Navy from

Opted for a matching set of Case Jigged Chestnut Brown Bone covers. These covers are some of the best bone they’ve done in years.

I’m usually off on Fridays but had to adjust my week to accommodate some mandatory training. Just waiting for all the frost to burn off and dry up then I’ll weed eat and mow the lawn for the first time, which I always hate doing. Figured if I was going to be doing work then I’d grab a couple of knives that always work...

The Robins are back and the Jonquils are about to bloom!
These two seem to find their way into my pockets regularly. They cover most tasks on my urban/suburban adventures. Add a sheath knife for the woods and I'm good to go.

Nothing exotic. I think I used Rit liquid dark brown dye, heated up in the microwave. It took maybe 2 or 3 tries to get it dark enough after rinsing.
