Case Chestnut CV Muskrat and Buck 'Whittler'

NICE dark covers on the Muskrat Dean

Today is the maiden voyage of my newly rebuilt Kutmaster electrician's knife. The screwdriver blade was broken, so I tore it down and put it back together as a single blade spear point. I haven't compared them side by side, but I think it's slightly larger than a GEC 15... I'll have to check.

Very nice work.

I've always liked the looks of the Dixie Stockman! What kept you from liking it immediately? (I don't own any Dire Straits music, but I'll often watch a half-dozen consecutive online versions of "Sultans of Swing" or "Money for Nothing". )

Me too, they are a very nice looking pattern. I’d say it was nothing really having to do with the knife, GT, but more with me. I occasionally think about how much I would have liked to have the Dixie Stockman when I was growing up and working on a farm (had a Buck 110). Then I conclude that I would have lost it and stop thinking about that.

I limited my own opportunities with the knife, first by carrying smaller knives to work five days a week (such as a Cadet, #61, #15). Then the #66 Calf Roper became my preferred GEC Stockman. I just had too many knives I liked and used - so too many others didn’t. Selling/giving away a lot, including the #66, remedied that first world problem - and I forced myself to use the Dixie Stockman (I think I even listed it before and it didn’t sell, I probably priced it so that it likely wouldn’t). I’m happy with the decision.



I enjoy this documentary on Mark Knopfler and his guitars. One of my favorite concert experiences seeing him in Las Vegas a few years ago.

Thanks, Paul. It was a fortunate purchase 10 years ago.

Eureka Jack and a 303

 

[Gevonovich]

For my Thursday totes I'm pocketing a couple of shadow pens; a Crucible Knife Co sleeveboard and a Canton Cut Co equal ended, both from the 1920s.

Crucible made some fine knives in a short history ( c. 1926 - 1929 ) What a fine knife ! I thought I made a thread called the Crucible Boys ? and Kevin
(@veitsi_poika ) found some great stuff on them ? memory loss or a dream...lol

We need a thread " The Crucible Boys " I could have sworn ...

Nice pocket worn 303. Its friend looks awfully nice, too.

Thank you JJ. I have an abiding fondness for shadow pens, especially those with such beautiful jigging. You show two great examples.

@5K Qs - Always thankful for your nice words, GT.

The tiny dark spots are from the light rain.

Now that temps have dropped in the Northeast, and I'm not constantly camping outside, I finally managed to pry the SwissTank out of my pocket. I still haven't kicked the Vic stainless habit though. The OC red Framer gets the nod today, with some nice hunters plaid paracord. After carrying a SwissChamp for 4 or 5 months straight, I'd forgotten how wonderfully robust these 93mm alox models are.

Snazzy-looking Farmer Buzz

Thank you Sir and your packing some firepower today. This is a 44....do you feel lucky...well do ya...

LOL!

Phantasm

whooooooo

That's a beauty Gev

Jack Black - Smashing Ebony Lamb. Despite having more than enough Lambs, that one or the Ebony big ún, is the one I ever so patiently wait(hope)to acquire. I love my Ebony @waynorth Lamb, but the Sheffield version is very different and special.

Thanks Harvey, I'll be in touch

Wonderful photo Harvey

Quintessential Buck.

Quintessential Case.

Quintessential lambsfoot.

Looks like you're well-heeled Vince

Thank you, Jack! That's top drawer ebony you are carrying!

Thanks very much Dean

Thank you for the kind words, Gev. Thank you also for the link. From what I read, I couldn’t hold a candle next to Mick. Like Jack Black , Mick had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Sheffield Cutlery and its’ history. Not to mention, again like Jack Black , a most enviable collection.

Thank you Harvey, you're very kind Mick was the man

Superb JJ, I love Shadow penknives

Capital couple of carries, Jack; the parabolic grain on your Otter is eye-catching!


...

Both the HHB and the custom navaja have stag to write home about, Jack!

Many thanks Gary, though I'm afraid my Ankermesser has no tang stamp

Happy Halloween

Fantastic pic John

Happy Halloween!

Nice choice Alan That's scary!

That shot of the lamb reminds me of Mom's favorite small kitchen knife, a Henkels "produce knife" with a straight sheepsfoot blade. Dad insisted on trying to cut with the curved blunt back of it. Mom took it East one year and Aunt Marian did the same thing. "This is your favorite knife?" At least Aunt Marian didn't split her thumb pushing on the edge.

Cool knife Jer

Happy Halloween!
The Canada Geese are winging their way south overhead, and my grandkids have their costumes all ready.
Winter's Coming!
With me today, and on Halloween candy duty.

Nice Krein Gary

Darkness has descended on Grumble Towers, though I'm afraid I almost forgot it was Halloween Have a good one folks

Your Northfield Barlow and big lambsfoot are a powerful pair, Ron!

Thank you Gary!

On a rainy Thursday I'm totin these two SFO's. A Northfield #54 Single Spear and a Hartshead Barlow Lamsfoot.

 

[Jarhead Greasemonkey]

Thanx much @jkwithawave!

Best of umpteen bazillion. Lousy light this morning.
I have the same thing downstairs with a plastic handle, but I doubt I'll ever replace this one.
This is what I'm actually carrying (old pic). May be a bit much.

That's wonderful that you have your mom's favorite knife! Some folks aren't used to seeing that type of straight edged blades. The only time I was concerned about cutting my thumb like that was when I bought a pair of Mora Carvers. When switching between them, I made sure to pay close attention to which was which!

A very nice Dark Side Duo there Rachel, that Böker's seen some Hallesowen and more

Thank you. It may have even seen more Halloweens than I!

Halloween at Grumble Towers...
I don't think I can get anyone to settle down to watch Black Sheep tonight, but I will before the weekend is out.

Thanks, Jack. Tom Krein makes a nice knife. I've got a few of his.
100% chance of rain plus high winds may put a damper on some Halloween fun tonight here.
