Advantageous golden pair of kale samplers, Jeff!
Happy Thursday Everybody
New knives come and go, but the Rosewood Lamb remains constant.
Bodacious bevel on that blade, John!
...
I’m carrying two today. I have a favorite Case Copperhead in Tru Sharp that kept me company while I enjoyed my last cup of coffee for the morning and my Ebony ‘18 Guardians Lambsfoot.
Capable coffee Case copperhead and exquisite ebony lambsfoot, Ron!
Totin' a Utica Kutmaster today
I sure admire your distinctive taste in desirable jigged bone covers, Steve!
That is hilarious! Missed it the first time.
I like the square & compass, too, and "G" is the initial of my last name. Some of my favourite presidents were Masons.
...
Another day, another Lamb and Barlow. This time dressed in red.
Flawless jigged bone and felicitous saw cut bone, Dylan – a salubrious Study in Scarlet!
Today with the excellent GEC # 15 in 440C.
José, that gallant, groovy knife arrived right on time!

I was able to enjoy the game at a sold out watch party on the Blues home ice at Enterprise Center last night. It was an incredible experience for all Blues fans, I have never seen so many strangers hugging each other. ...
I am keeping the beard until I have seen the Stanley Cup with my own eyes at the parade Saturday, and it seems really bad karma to break up this trio until at least then.
Congrats on a once-in-a-lifetime (so far
) experience, Tom! I'm honored to see that handsome, helpful, historic hockey trio one more time!
wonder whats become of that
Jack, this thread seems to mark the demise of your inspired and inspiring idea, as the most recent winner apparently just kept everything.

It's gone through at least a couple of rounds, and IIRC the current state of affairs is reflected here:

A fine trio, Gary; and your '1st Case' is one to be proud of. One day I'm going to buy a brown Delrin Case.
...
Stainless and Delrin are surely suitable for the humidity that we are feeling in the Old Dominion nowadays, GT (or Delrin and an oily rag). That is a fine looking Case peanut, all in all, a fine looking knife.

I appreciate the nice comments GT. Nice Case’s you have today!
...
Thanks for the commendations on my Case carries, Dean & Stuart & Nick.
Feeling a little blue today.
Those two blues are not too blue, but true blue, Dean!
Tall trapper Thursday? Whatever, I'm totin' an oldie, but goldie today - a Case 6151 large trapper (5 1/4") from 1905-1920:

Gargantuan goodness, Stuart, from a time when giants walked the face of the Earth!!
Cattaraugus
That jaw-dropping jewel is the Catt's meow, Nick!!
Not true my friend . If you cut it right and shake it when you put it on your plate , the calories all fall out . We go to the YMCA to see our friends and then have coffee . At our age , we need to see friends . Kringle is very much like Stag handled knives too . I will only eat Kringle on days that end with a Y .
Harry
Your information is impressive, intriguing, and influential, Harry!
Once I've mastered sharpening my knives, I want to learn how to cut and shake pastry to minimize the calories!
How about this one for Friday?
Bet some of these guys carried something similar.
I'll bet you're right, Vince. Some of those old boys would have certainly enjoyed an old boys' knife like your black beauty!
A-OK FOB, FBC!
I really enjoy your ground-level shots, but am impressed by the flexibility you must exhibit to take them!
...
Great line-up Gary
...
Morning folks, just checking in with my carry today
Hope everyone has a good Friday
Thanks, Jack.
Pair of potent, premium patterns there, not for the pusillanimous!
Today I thought a groovy old Robeson Scout and a mid century Case Barlow. I'm always amazed that when the Case was manufactured a Case ran Robeson
Man, you are posting some vibrant vintage pairs this week, sir!
Kudos on the killer kickin' back pic, Dwight!
I can just imagine you with your cool Case Barlow and your cold case of Corona. Summer time, and the livin' is easy!
My First Alox. Love it!

Congrats on the outstanding orange Alox Cadet, Harvey!
Sweeter than that candy, and it won't stick to your teeth!
I'm headed out for a quick camping trip tonight, just for the weekend, testing my new G-10
SwissTank on a Vic belt hanger.
This is one of two Victorinox SwissChamps that will be the focus of activities this summer. I'm doing two 2-week long camping trips into the Adirondacks with my daughter in July and August. The overall challenge of the trips will be to use the SwissChamps for everything that needs to be done, and then journaling all of our adventures with them. Abby is very excited. Every kid loves a huge Swiss Army Knife with a billion little interesting gadgets. She's also a budding artist, and is looking forward to illustrating all of the uses we find for the tools.
After much consideration, I decided on vintage SwissChamps with replacement scales for the summer challenge. The nylon and glass parts on the vintage models seem to be far more resistant to DEET-based insect repellents than newer models with cheaper plastic parts. For the same reason, the red cellidor "plus scales" are being replaced with G-10 and nylon scales.
I almost felt bad about modifying this knife. It was a mint red-scaled SwissChamp, purchased from the original owner, who still had the receipt from July of 1991. It would have been a great collection item. But I pulled it out of the mailbox, admired it and took a couple of pictures, and began modding it, not a half hour after it arrived.
...
Fortunately, I'm very pleased with how the
SwissTank turned out. I hand sanded the highly textured scales to give it more of a worn vintage glossy appearance. Now it has this cool retro WW2 kind of look to it. It matches my father-in-law's old BSA whistle perfectly.
...
Perfect plans for a father-daughter project, Buzz!
Never thought about repellent resistance of knife materials before.
