The one in the middle today.
Thanks JJ! I wouldn’t be able to tell by the bolsters, how do you tell? It does have steel bolsters which I prefer over NS because they develop a warmer patina in my opinion.Thats interesting as I was "on the fence" between Catt and Robeson, though my first impulse was Robeson based on the bolsters; quite a beauty Nick!
cool pencil ruler level, the knife's not bad eitherAnother sowbelly.View attachment 1196983
Thank you, Harvey.John, your Tidioute Image is texturific.
True. A good Case knife is a great knife.when you can hand pick one out I don’t think they can be beat bang for the buck
For sure I even had my eye on a nice Boker that was another great example but this little girl won. I really like being able to hand pick one and it opens up avenues I wouldn’t want to gamble on buying online.True. A good Case knife is a great knife.
Thanks. Also flathead and phillips screwdriver and stylus for the phone.c

Just got back from my local sporting goods store. It was really nice to be able to hand pick a knife. I left with this little jewel
Case Mini copper lock in Amber Peach seed jig bone. Normally I’m not a back lock fan but fell in love with this one after getting it in my hand. It’s the first lock back I’ve handled without any up or down play or side to side. It’s rock solid! Really like the long nail nick and it can be pinched open. Feels very good in hand for a small knife and is very light.This one I probably could carry without a leather slip but found a really nice Hitch & Timber in my box of slips that fits like it was made for it.
Case has really became one of my go to traditionals. But they are hit or miss buying online. But tell you what when you can hand pick one out I don’t think they can be beat bang for the buck
Thank you MitchGreat looking knife & real nice pictures mate.
Thanks for sharing.
Mitch
Thanks for the replies and the compliments, JJ. I finally took some photos of my Black Box sowbelly on Saturday, but still have to "process" them to try and find a few that are "post-worthy."...
Thank you Gary!!! It's very hard to beat the old pre WWII jigging! I like the MAM liner lock slightly better than the Opinel twist lock, more intuitive.
Great foursome you put together today! I'm looking forward to seeing your BB Win sowbelly too!!!

That Whit-L-Craft is amazing! I remember that, early in my time at BF, someone posted an original ad for Whit-L-Craft that I thought was such an intriguing artifact!After viewing the Catt beauty of @Ramrodmb today, I grabbed for these two from Cattaraugus to tote for today; a Whit-L-Craft scout and a cocobolo spey jack.
Lucy and the Navaja are an impressive pair, Jack!Missing a day here has left me hopelessly behind, so I'll just throw in my carry, and wish everyone a good Friday
...
Thanks for the info about your 200-year-old coin!!!Thanks Gary, this is a coin known as the "Cruzado" (400 Reis) of 1816.
...
Thanks, José; I hope you get one and will find it very pleasant!Wonderful canoes Gary, as I have none, after seeing them, I will think about buying a canoe.
Your blue/orange Pioneer is a handsome knife!Today with Victorinox alox Kingfisher two color serialized (97/100).
...
...
That S&M is a real beauty!
...
Thanks, John; I can see why you're taken by my S&M ebony spearpoint, and I by this knife of yours!
Thanks, Steve. I'll bet I haven't seen a post from SAK Guy for a couple of years.I'll let him know the next time I talk to him
Guilty as charged, Jeff!...
Only a Canoe Connoisseur would call a Jack Knife “‘miscellaneous”!
...
Ebony and Nifebrite,
Robeson and GEC,
It’s complicated. Sort of a gray area, if you will. Not everything is black and white!View attachment 1195587View attachment 1195588
Thanks, Jack. Even if that was the ONLY knife I carried, I think I'd need my wide suspenders to keep my pants up!Smashing line-up Gary, but I particularly like that big Barlow
...
Those dogs are cute, but they look like double trouble to me!The SwissTank is helping me wrangle two new dachshund pups.
...
Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Dean. The pen blade on the barlow really grabs me for some reason.Great set of knives there, Gary. Now I know which canoe infected, I mean, interested you in that pattern!
...
Thank you for your comments, Gary. I use my Vic Classic toothpick every day (I even have a bag of spare toothpicks for my Classics).
Like Jack, I think your Remington Big Daddy Barlow is stupendous.
...
That's a handsome Cadet, Dean!My circa 2000 Buck Cadet for old friends and black Friday. This was my EDC for year or two in the early 2000s. It is a 3-spring stockman and is very well made.
...
I always appreciate your comments, Harvey.
That's a cool pair with many similarities, Steve!Harness Jack and a #10 today

Looks mighty fine Ed every time someone shows this model it hurts a wee bit. I gave my one and only Chestnut bone to a fellow at work that I thought was a friend,he turned around and sold it to one of the other bus drivers at the time. I know, get over it you old bugger!!Just got back from my local sporting goods store. It was really nice to be able to hand pick a knife. I left with this little jewel

Really nice color on that one. I prefer picking them out in person, too.Just got back from my local sporting goods store. It was really nice to be able to hand pick a knife. I left with this little jewel
