My totes today are serendipitous. Those who saw my post in the Beverages and Blades thread on Tuesday know that while rummaging through some of my late stepfather's old boxes, I came upon an old Miller Brothers Sheffield pattern lobster pen (which I will post here once I take it totin'). https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...onal-of-course.1323677/page-323#post-19081020 Spurred by that discovery, I dug some more and found an old wrapped up paper towel under a box. In the wrapping were my totes for today: an Aerial senator pen (1912-1944) in red/black striped celluloid and a Schatt & Morgan (Titusville, PA, 1903-1932) sleeveboard jack in a pink/green marble celluloid. Both sharp as razors.
I may tote these two tomorrow afternoon when I gather with my buddies at our watering hole.

He’ll be back.Hmmmm....... The new Bladeforums AI is the culprit. I fear that it has become self aware, and is now monitoring all Bladeforum member waistlines.

I have one just like yours, Jeff, and after consulting https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Champion , I'm quite sure we have Champions from sometime in 1973-1985.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip, Jeff!Your pic reminds me of a "hidden cost" of the knife hobby we all enjoy - I wonder how much the gas mileage suffers for those of us who routinely carry multiple knives?

Thanks... My suggestion of trying an additional finish is based upon my cocobolo knife from AG Russell. It has not darkened and it's a user.I knew that's what you meant but didn't phrase it right. I'm not sure what would work on such an oily wood. And if there is a solution would it destroy the beauty and/or texture of the wood itself?
That Buck Canoe is a good looking knife.My "fancy" canoe this week is a Buck jigged bone model (thanks, Clay):

Sounds like you have the knowledge to make the right decision.Thanks... My suggestion of trying an additional finish is based upon my cocobolo knife from AG Russell. It has not darkened and it's a user.
It looks to have had a sealer of some sort applied but not sure. And any rate, being a woodworker, I would feel pretty confident applying a finish to the cocobolo. I wonder if anyone can speak to doing so ??
It's likely the custom makers know.
Thanks, 'Buzz. I couldn't agree with you more.That is quite exceptional. The lines are absolutely perfect.
