[JohnDF]

My mouth waters just looking at that knife. I get the same feeling when I look at a candy apple on a stick.

Lol... Wipe your chin... and thank you.

Since it's Twosday and since several nice Delrin-clad knives have been posted recently and since sometimes there's a Trapper Twosday, I'm totin' these two Remingtons today: Hunter (1986) and Fisherman (1997), both by Camillus.

And, yes, I'm wearing my big pockets pants.

Hunter and Fisherman
Can't think of a better pairing than that.

High of 101 degrees with heat index of 113. Someone borrowed my machete. And my snake boots obviously need mink oil ha ha ha. Should be fun. At least I won't be under-knived!

For todays trapper Tuesday I'll add a Jumbo Schrade trapper (by GEC on the 23 pattern with "bear trap" back springs) to a Schrade Heritage Barlow.

Smashing photograph !!!

Thank you, Stuart, much appreciated. That S&M cigar jack of yours looks very pre-war, what can you tell us about it?
The bone and jigging is fantastic!

Wow Stuart, the covers on your vintage S&M are mind boggling!!!

That bone S&M equal end of yours is a real standout, looks to be in excellent condition.

What a beauty, lovely bone on that one !

Thanks, guys. Jeff, the knife is a legacy from my late stepfather so all that I know about it is from my research. The tang stamp dates it at 1902-1928. S&M was going out of business around 1928 and was sold at sheriff's bankruptcy sale in 1932 to Queen City Cutlery (which had been founded in 1922 by 5 master cutlers fired by S&M), both firms located in Titusville, PA. Queen revived the S&M brand in more recent years. S&M used Rogers bone for its handles, as did many other cutlery firms, including Queen City from it's foundation until it started switching to Winterbottom bone in 1930. A side note: according to research by Bernard Levine, the Rogers Manufacturing Company, which made the distinctively jigged bone called "Rogers bone", referred to that pattern as "Rogers Stag". Queen referred to the Winterbottom bone handles on its knives as "genuine Frontier bone stag". BTW, Rogers still has the original jigging machine use to make Rogers bone, though it hasn't been used since 1962.

Great info, Stuart, thanks a bunch! And thank you, JJ, for the nice words; I really like that big GEC Schrade trapper, great color on the bone!

Great garden bounty and those knives sing !!! Great photo

What a bountiful harvest of knives and produce, Dylan!

Thank you so much, fellas!


It felt like a Barlow kind of day, especially since I just ordered a Case Barlow for my son's birthday coming up.
