Oh ya... That is amazing.
Thanks, Stuart. The Case Medium Stockman is so light in the pocket and packed full of usefulness.You make a great case for that favorite ranking.
An interesting bit of history.In earlier years, when Howarth's were a slightly larger firm, they were based on the small street where my grandparents lived, and where my mother was born. This old wooden gate stands on the staircase at Wright's, where it originally seperated Howarth's from John Maleham's firm, J & M Tools

Thanks, good buddy! And no need to carry plastic bags when you walk me in the park.Really beautiful old knives in great condition, JJ. Thanks for sharing them.
Radiant horn on that foot o'lamb, GT.
Great pairing, r8shell: "real" old and "looks" old. A nice contrast of two handsome knives.
You make a great case for that favorite ranking.
That wood is wondrous, Ron.
Indeed!

I admire your work, Jeff. You've elevated dog chews to a new level.

A favorite combo.
Well, if it’s real sharp, literally razor sharp, and you have a very steady hand...Charlie and GEC got the jigging about as perfect as possible on his new Lambsfoot knife - all I've seen pictured have beautiful jigging.
Found my lost one, bottom of my shaving kit - wonder how that happened?? Carrying it today in celebration. OH

John & Dean, impressive rojo mojo!
Harvey, your AC Lambsfoot looks delectable with that sandwich!I know that just about every one says this is the best about something. But I swear to you, if an Italian Beef/Sausage Combo is your thing, then go to Johnnie’s in Elmwood Park, IL. None better.

I think you're right that the mini muskrat is currently on hiatus. Am I right that the full-size muskrat and mini muskrat only differ by a quarter-inch in closed length (3 7/8" compared to 3 5/8")?Thank you, Gary. I don't think case is currently making the mini muskrat (which I did not know when I made my previous reply). It's worth looking around for one though.
That smooth antique bone looks VERY good!!A mini Copperlock in CV and a smooth antique bone Barlow in Tru-Sharp.

Yeah, the copperhead pattern is sort of a half-canoe, Dave!When I first started accumulating slip joints I started with the Canoe then discovered the Copperhead I quite like them.![]()
Thanks, JJ....
Great looking couple! That's cool you have worked out a "carry system"
...
Phenomenal pair!
Thanks, Jack....
Nice choices GT![]()

Cue the Twilight Zone music!Thank you.
Really? Wow! That's almost spooky. I put the Barlow in my pocket and looked at the knives in the box you sent. The Howarth called out to come along with us.![]()
You're an astute connoisseur of cutlery, Stuart....

Great photo of your stag Barlow on a fishing expedition, John!
You lured me into expecting red bone Case knives, Dean, and this one was a shock!
Bodacious Barlow, GT.This knife arrived this week, and I've been carrying, but not using, it:
