May there be a full freezer in your home!Getting ready to embark on a week long hunting trip. The reports regarding elk are quite favorable so far.
I've got these two with me today.
Fantastic flea market finds, Chris! I love the Case chestnut jigged bone covers.Is the stockman stainless or carbon?

Much appreciated kindness !Another beautiful image to gaze upon Gev; a timeless piece!
Try it again. Maybe you've matured.I agree on the knife, but my 40-year-old memory of the beer would offer a different assessment!
Great colour and jigging on that one. Very nice and generous gift.Porch kindness has struck again! When the Porch member known as Leslie Tomville told me that he wanted to gift me this amazing Case Sowbelly, I told him he was craaaazy and when it showed up I knew for sure he was craaazy! I am a destroyer of resale value and this was minty, not even bolster swirls!
Well, the other day I got the nerve up to put it to use and I and darn glad I did.
@Leslie Tomville Thanks again my friend!!!
When it was still minty ^

I didn't know they made the 15's in the orange "cougar clawed" bone... yours looks like the little brother to the 74 Mustangs..... Both of those together would be an interesting picture... my photoshop skilz are non-existent, though...
Artistic patina, and superior placement of the lock release!

Boffo cattle knife, Steve!Imperial cattle knife and #43 today...
I quit smoking cigars almost 5 years ago, but I still like a cigar pattern knife just fine! Not to put too fine a point on it, but your punch is definitely looking sharp, Dean!I had a need to poke some leather; this Case Stockman has the sharpest/pointiest punch I've seen.
Such unusual and intriguing ebony, Jon!
I agree that's a handsome pair, and gives you notable blade variety!Decided to carry the acrylic stockyard whittler today, paired with this S&M heritage series ebony jack simply because I thought they looked good as a pair.
Thanks for taking notice of all of our knives, Stuart.
Glad you changed your mind, Vince.Thanks, Gary. It's a simple but extraordinary knife.
Well, as you know, I was going to sit out round three, but I like a challenge.
At least it had fewer than 10000 characters, so I didn't have to split it as I often must due to my excessive enthusiasm.Thanks Gary, that's a mammoth multi-quote!
Grand Goat - Turn it on, wind it up, blow it out!Two of my favorites, car and knife
Two high performance machines, Paul! I used to play softball with a guy who claimed he had lots of crazy ideas because of the fumes in the paint factory where he worked. Everyone else on the team usually called me GT, but he always called me Goat for GTO. Gotta have a link to the song:[/QUOTE]Is that canoe a white bone Rough Rider? Handsome pair!
Thanks GT and yep its a Rough Rider canoe. I have 3 of them in the canoe pattern and all are fine knives and get carried.
A lot to like about the RR besides just the cost.
- GT
Thanks for the info and image, Stuart, but I can only read the "nonessential" words on the stamp.Thanks, GT. Miss Norma thinks that they look like the regimental striped ties (a.k.a., rep ties) that I used to wear to work with a blue blazer and white button-down shirt. The two bladed premium pen is a VANCO (Indianapolis 1888-1940). The physician's knife is a mystery, as my eyes (even with relatively recent cataract surgery and a magnified picture) can't make out the maker's mark. Any guesses?
- Stuart
Impressive, Vince!
Once you say it, I can see it (sort of). Thanks for the info, JJ; very interesting bone!...
Thank you Gary!!! The covers are bone and are Queen's version of worm-groove, I believe.
Certainly Gary; I think the shape is a bit unique and does require an image.
