[Misplaced Hillbilly]

I was inKLIENed to carry these today.
Sorry for the dark indoor pic, the top and bottom one are actually brown

Thank you. I just so happen to have some more of its family here.

Monday's "woke up too late to think about it so grabbed what was close by" knives:

Man I gotta weak spot for Daddy Barlows! For a second I thought that was a neat display shadow box..... This gives me an idea

Going old school today with a 1971 stainless Stag 47 pattern.

Farm hands. I'm totin' these two on Twosday for mere practical reasons. I have two fallen trees to clear from a pair of roads on our hunting lease, so my pup and I are off for a day trip to chainsaw timber, confirm the scope sight on my Marlin Model 60, and gently introduce Loki to gunfire.

I hope that everyone has a terrific Tuesday.

Boker Tech-Tool 2 with acid-stonewash finish and natural micarta covers

That's the best looking one of those I've seen. Is it a mod or did it come that way? Very cool

Todays carry a golden lambsfoot.

I am impossibly behind on this thread after being away for four days .

I recently sold a Northwoods and that inspired me to carry one today, I think this is an Indian River Jack.

 

[Peregrin]

As my thoughts are with the people of France today, I'm carrying my Laguiole.

From the last few days.

I just love that non-bolstered Case.

Pàdruig Congrats on your new acquisitions, both are great but that Shapleigh is amazing! I need to try and make it to the Oregon knife show next year. With lots of money!!

Thank you, my friend! It would be great to meet you, and yes, lots of money is helpful when attending such a show.

2014 Osage Viper.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if GEC decided to do another run of 47s, with some nice wood and bone cover options. That's a nice example in Osage, Paul.


I've got a couple in Ironwood keeping me company today.

Of course the Camilus, and the Case punch stockman as well today. I find myself using this punch stockman more and more lately. Such a nice compact package, with so many useful tools.

The CV steel doesn't hold an edge like GEC's harder 1095, but since the Case blades are ground so incredibly thin, they keep cutting well long after they've begun to dull. The net result seems to be that the Case often cuts better for longer, and resharpening is definitely quicker and easier.

The more I carry my Case knives lately, the more I see how different they are from my usual GEC's. I find modern Case knives to be extremely usable. Not so dear and collectible that I'm afraid to use them. They cut very efficiently and touch-ups are a breeze. Case knives also seem to be more pocket friendly. A bit leaner and lighter. I don't get that beautiful magic that GEC puts into every knife, but I do get a nice looking knife with incredible usability.

Maybe that's the real difference. If I want to see true beauty and artistry, I pick up a GEC. When I hold a GEC, is feel the wonderful history and craftsmanship of traditional knives. When I grab a Case, it's because I need to cut stuff, and do so with a relative amount of class.

VERY NICE one I've searched for for sometime. Can you post pic's with blades open? Love that peach seed bone

Here you go Paul. I've had lectures and now the sun is pretty much gone, so please excuse the bad photos. The main blade was turned into a sheepsfoot and it looks quite a bit buffed, but I don't mind. This way I can use it freely.

Some ebony in my pocket on a Tidoute Tuesday

I had to bring a 4" schrade stockman with me today instead of my 82. The ulster is still here, so slim that it's not even noticed in a pocket.

Really enjoyed Dumas's books
