Oh ya... That is amazing.
I've always felt that was a perfect representation of a Boys Knife.
It's exactly what I would have bought as a young lad looking for a good knife.

You make a great case for that favorite ranking.

Thanks, Stuart. The Case Medium Stockman is so light in the pocket and packed full of usefulness.

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

Thank you Harvey, splendid pic my friend

An interesting bit of history.

My Hartshead accompanied me to the river this morning...

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

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.

- Stuart

Thanks, good buddy! And no need to carry plastic bags when you walk me in the park.

D Duckdog , thanks !


Whittler and a trapper today

A favorite combo.
That old Rogers bone on your 72 is mighty fine.

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

Well, if it’s real sharp, literally razor sharp, and you have a very steady hand...

 

[SteveC]

Amir Fleschwund , thanks !

 

[RDaneel]

Sunday knife.

 

[cortopar]

A new to me P.H. Jacob dogleg trapper...


It carries better than it looks like it would. A little tall, but it’s only a smidge over 3.5” closed. Tall, thin grinds make for a great slicer. The filework is not as consistent as his recent work, but the flaws give it an attractive “obviously handmade” character that I like.

 

[Half/Stop]

That wood is wondrous, Ron.

Thanks Stuart!

That’s a nice one Stuart! It’s a variation on the 47 frame that’s not seen that often!

 

[kai76]

Earlier I pulled out these two "pocket friendly" Robesons and figured I should give them a tote today!https://i.imgur.com/40Pnd4m.jpg[/img]']

A Red Bone Morning

Day seven of a redbone week - Case Swayback Jack.

John & Dean, impressive rojo mojo!

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.

Harvey, your AC Lambsfoot looks delectable with that sandwich!

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.

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")?

A mini Copperlock in CV and a smooth antique bone Barlow in Tru-Sharp.

That smooth antique bone looks VERY good!! Uniform color on both sides of your Barlow?

When I first started accumulating slip joints I started with the Canoe then discovered the Copperhead I quite like them.

Yeah, the copperhead pattern is sort of a half-canoe, Dave! I like the looks of a copperhead, but I got rid of a RR gunstock checkered copperhead because I didn't care much for the two big blades (sure like the handles though).

...
Great looking couple! That's cool you have worked out a "carry system"
...

Thanks, JJ. I HAD to make up a schedule because randomly choosing knives for the week was taking way too much time!

Earlier I pulled out these two "pocket friendly" Robesons and figured I should give them a tote today!...

Phenomenal pair!

...
Nice choices GT
...

Thanks, Jack. Your damascus stag is grand!

Couple of fine pics of a couple of classic knives, Jeff!

Love Love Love the Star Trek emblem.

Why does this not surprise me???

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.

Cue the Twilight Zone music!

You're an astute connoisseur of cutlery, Stuart.

Cool color combo, Steve, and what a whittler!!

Sunday Best, Vince!!

Intriguing pattern, Stuart! The current 6347 (with 3 blades) has 3 springs, I think. How many springs on that one?

My Hartshead accompanied me to the river this morning...

Great photo of your stag Barlow on a fishing expedition, John!

Sunday knife.

You lured me into expecting red bone Case knives, Dean, and this one was a shock!

This knife arrived this week, and I've been carrying, but not using, it:

Thank you, Gary. The quarter inch difference between the mini muskrat and the muskrat seems small but if very noticeable when carrying and using.

I was going to do an eighth day of redbone carry, but a week is only seven days.

Nice lambsfoot Barlow you have there.

 

[SteveC]

Always love seeing that 72, what a great knife!

Thanks !

Cool color combo, Steve, and what a whittler!!


- GT

Thanks as always for taking the time to comment !

 

[kai76]

5K Qs Nice Barlow GT!

Inspired by @JJ Cahill and @Fodderwing, I’m toting a Robeson too.

 

[SVTFreak]

Still paling around with this guy. If they ever make a 74 or 48 wharncliff single blade, I'll have to have one.
