What year is your barlow? They seemed to do the best deep redbone on their barlows.

That poison ivy there could certainly make your day interesting!

The Barlow is a 1970; and you are correct, the redbone is stupendous on those. I think that kind of redbone went back to the Case XX USA and Case XX periods and maybe earlier?

We have lot of parks in our county. This one is one of the oldest and with all the rain we have had lately the flora has exploded. Poison Ivy in particular has exploded in this park; it's hard to find a place where there isn't any! :eek:

Rousing red teardrop, Dean! ;):cool::cool:

That's a very attractive pattern, Dean! How big is a mini muskrat? When were they made? Do they have a model number or just a name on the tang stamp, like the regular muskrat?

Thank you for your comments, Gary. The Mini Muskrat pattern has been around for a long time; probably as long as the Muskrat. Like Case's Muskrat and Tiny Muskrat, the Mini Muskrat has no pattern number. The Mini Muskrat is the same size and design as Case's 6318 medium stockman (there most popular model). The Mini is very pocketable and much thinner than the stockman.

Thank you, Gary. I am always stunned by how good looking your Stag RR stockman is.

This amazing creation by Charlie Campagna deserves to be paired with a great cigar like the Fuente Opus X. Two classics from Masters of their respective realms.

@NewBlades16 , yes Andrew, I lit this one up today. You are correct, I like the Anejo better. And they are a bit cheaper aren’t they? Your Lambsfoot should be arriving tomorrow, and I believe you will love it. They are nearly perfect!
 
Had this in my pocket since receiving it yesterday and went out to check on our roses after the rain .


The bushes have not gained much foliage yet but the blooms have been pretty good so far

Then the U.S. Mail came with a Flea Bay acquisition of an old SEO&S that someone really OVERCLEANED. ( Squire Elijah Oates & Son )


It turned out to be a Smaller Than Normal sized one

It is even smaller than a TC 14 Barlow

It does have Integral Bolsters

The Snaps at 1/2 ,, Open ,, & Close are very good

Thanks for the kind words, JJ. :) That's a venerable, vibrant pair for you! :cool::thumbsup::cool: I've never seen a candy-striped Kamp King before; that's cool!

Thanks Gary, it was the first I had seen like it, too! Very nice choice of your Lambsfoot with a medium Stockman; you can tackle quite a few cutting tasks with those two!;)

Fodderwing Fodderwing Thanks Dwight! Awesome shot of your Lambsfoot!!!

My duo today are from the "Catt" family. I'm always amazed at the skill it took to put together such a handy knife as the Whitt-L-Craft! :)

Mitch, sorry I missed your querry at first. It's 6 1/4" overall, 2 1/2" blade, 1/8" thick 440c stabilized maple burl sanded to 3000 grit and rubbed with Johnson's paste wax. I tried to cut the scales from the block with my coping saw but that stabilizing made it so hard I had to use a hack saw! You can contact me at roseandthistlecustom@gmail.com if you have more questions.

Harry that SEO&S is a nice addition and very interesting being so small. Makes a great big bro little bro too! Love the integral bolsters. Always enjoy viewing your roses.

Nice fistful of working knives, David. Is the electrician current Case production?
Haven’t seen one in rough black before.
I bought a Klein just like that dirt cheap on the auction site, except not mint looking like yours. Mine had been mercilessly tortured and abused by a gorilla with a bench grinder, which made it a candidate for my own mods. I wanted one to reshape into a sheepsfoot, but would never hack up one in such good condition as yours.
Cheers!
