Those look to be oak leaves of some sort, sorry to interject. What region of the country are you inI don't know to tell the truth, Gary. One day on my walk, I gathered leaves from all the trees that caught my eye and brought them home. It was a magical day when all the leaves were changing colorI often gather things, I guess it is the Bower genes in me

? Might help narrow it down, but they look like they belong to a burr oak

It is a classic Gary! IMHO it’s the best bang for the buck of any American produced folder.That's a classic, Ron; I hope you're not giving it up for Lent!

Congrats on the GEC mini trapper, Jeff!btb01 Barrett told me once how that pattern differs from a mini trapper, and although his explanation made sense, I've apparently forgotten it. So I'll revert to calling it GEC's version of a mini trapper.
I vaguely remember that, GT. I don’t remember exactly what I said
, but I think I posted these photos with it.
They are similar. The handle on the Farm Boy is straighter and fuller, and I much prefer its taller/fuller clip point blade. The Farm Boy also has the spey in front of the clip, while the Case Mini Trapper is the other way around.

Texas and this park has many varieties of trees. Not all native to the area. That said, I did a search and think it is a:Those look to be oak leaves of some sort, sorry to interject. What region of the country are you in
Quercus muehlenbergii, the chinkapin or chinquapin oak, is a deciduous species of tree in the white oak group (Quercus sect. Quercus). The species was often called Quercus acuminata in older literature. Quercus muehlenbergii (often misspelled as muhlenbergii) is native to eastern and central North America.

Very good, I'm glad I was almost there, the chinkapin oak isn't one I usually think of, but I did have the group pegged. As my old field natural history professor used to say, red oak leaves are pointed like the red man's arrow, white oak are(in the voice of Elmer fudd) wounded wike the white man's buwwet...

Beautiful day and got some nice shop time in, my wife is expecting our third child in April so trying to get various various projects knocked off my list before then.
