I often claim that the full-sized Trapper is my favorite Case Pattern. Then I tote my single-blade Sowbelly and question that. For my needs this is a lovely carry.

Carried the same 2 old TEWs that I normally do when I am working outside and you all know what they look like . I am inside now with some more comfortable clothes on and have slipped this Queen made Modified Cripple Creek Barlow .
Really like this knife . I think these are pictures that the Seller provided . I have not taken pictures of it by itself ?????

Sowbelly Stockman of the Week is a Chinese Imperial cracked ice model:


Regular Stockman of the Week is a Rough Rider red jigged bone medium stockman:


Budget Canoe of the Week is a Rough Rider Bolster Stripes version with impressive bone IMHO:


Premium Canoe of the Week is "premium" in the sense that it's somewhat rare, a Colt canoe with titanium-coated carbon steel blades and G-10 covers; I like it because it's black and silver :

I'll be toting a sowbelly and a toothpick today.

I really like the celluloid on that Imperial!

I LOVE snakes around my place. They help reduce the rodents.

I LOVE the Hawks and Owls around my place...
They take care of the rodents AND the snakes for me.

Finished my work, and it seemed like the perfect time to test the camera on the new phone I had to buy today.

So far it seems a lot better than my last phone.

A couple of red bone jacks to start the week.

Thank you JJ. Nicely lit images of a beautiful pair of red bone Jacks. Spectacular covers on the toothpick. The Winchester Sowbelly looks smooth as silk.

5K Qs - Thank you GT. Your white Imperial Scout has such a nice vintage look. Your Rough Rider Canoe oozes Cool.

Good Morning Everybody
I've been putting my Joshua modified Sodbuster to use on just about everything.
I can tell you that I find the new blade shape to be far more useful for the tasks I tend to find.

I'm so glad to hear that it is working well for you. Did it get used with your leather working? That would be a sweet bonus.

I hope that this post finds everybody safe and in good health. Sorry I haven't been around more, but I'm just not actively collecting right now. The Victorinox Swisschamp made it into my pocket last spring, and hasn't left since then. It's kind of become an absolute necessity at this point. I don't know what I'd do without it. Those wonderful tools and very serviceable blades have quelled my search for the perfect knife. This happens every ten years or so, and tends to last for a few years. It was an old red cross Vic Pioneer last time. This time it's the current version SwissChamp with the improved glass magnifier.

The only other knives that are still used are the Case Mini-Trapper and Tribal Lock, both in Bone Stag and stainless blades. The Mini-Trapper is brought to service whenever a precision cut needs to be made that is beyond the abilities of the SwissChamp, or when my carry calls for a more discreet footprint. That Mini-Trapper is easily the best cutter in my collection, with an edge so easy to touch up that it's pretty much a no-brainer. I'd go as far as to call it Case's best knife ever. Perfect size and weight. Perfect grinds for EDC. Perfect blade selection. The scales aint too shabby either. Just an amazing knife on all points. I wouldn't change a single thing.

The Tribal Lock gets the call for a lot of outdoor work and tougher chores. I really, really love the size and shape of this knife. Crazy comfortable in the hand, and big enough to take on the largest chores I regularly encounter. Same great looks as my Mini-Trapper, and a wickedly keen edge. It also happens to have what I consider to be the best of all blade shapes. More point than a spear, not too much upsweep, a little bit of belly, and a big straight edge to boot. Total perfection for EDC. And it's stainless, which I've finally settled on as a "make or break" trait for all my pocket knives these days. No more carbon steel for me.

So stay safe everyone. I hope you all find that knife or two or three that really worm their way into your heart. And here's a pic of my puppies, all waiting patiently for a Cheetio.

Good of you to drop in Buzz! I've missed seeing you around. As always, your steady perspective and thoughtful review of knives is appreciated. Are you still able to get out on your bike in the midst of this pandemic?
