Bling for Sunday, a SS 1st gen Frank Buster Cutlery MOP stockman @ 3.8" closed (which is a VERY nice size that seems to be unique to German stock knives).

I like those a lot. Been kinda keeping my eye out for a MoP fightin rooster. Such nice knives.

Headed to church for final growing kids Gods way class. A good pen and lots of paper needed. The watch, just to make sure I’m not late. Mike Z improved trapper, probably not but it’s coming anyway.

Before the "rotation week" runs out on me (I switch knives for the week on Monday mornings), I should post the "free choice" knives I was carrying this week. I often carry one or two knives in addition to the ones prescribed by my rotation schedule. This week I've got a Carharrt wharncliffe mini trapper (thanks, John) and a "naked" Imperial serpentine jack (thanks, Dave):

Oktoberfest was fun, thanks. All the beers I tried were great. Didn't end up doing the chicken dance, though! (There were lots of Astros fans there, by the way.)

I have been cleaning this up for a few days now. WWII Ka-Bar "Trench Art". This is a "Theatre Knife" An original Ka-Bar made by the Union Cutlery Company which later became "Ka-Bar". The first ones made had screw on pommels like this one. Later they were made by other companies as well with peened pommels. It is 1095 steel and was originally blackened with a leather stacked handle. It was popular for GIs with access to mobile or ship based machine shops to alter their Ka-Bars. Aluminum and Plexiglas were newer materials back then and it was popular to make these handles in various patterns like this. Polishing the black off the blade was less common. This one also has a sharpened drop point as well. The handle materials were often salvaged from downed air craft and the most prized ones were made with parts from downed Japanese Zeros. Of course the story with most of them is that they came from such a source as was the case with this one; there is no way to know at this point. The friend who gave me this received it from a relative in about 1950 when he was 10 years old. When I received it it was in pretty rough shape. It 's been really fun to restore it to it's original gaudy appearance.
