Thanks Ron,
It really was a pretty cool feeling. I’ve carried a lot of them in like new condition but this was the the first time in over 30 years I took a new one from the box and slipped it into my pocket.
These old Camillus Bucks just speak to me like no other knife ever has.

There’s probably not that many people that will have the opportunity to do what you did. I’ve got a Camillus Buck 301, 303 and a 319. They are great knives Clay! :)

Thanks for the kind words my friend . It looks like you and Pam are moving right along with your project . Carrying away the scrap is the less attractive part of tearing down a deck . Then the fun part of building a new one starts .

Thanks buddy! I designed and built that deck in July of ‘78. It’s taken three times longer to demo it that it did to build it in the first place! :eek: I either had a good design and a well built deck or I’m three times slower than I was 42 years ago! Or both!! :eek: :rolleyes: :D

I prefer to think that it was Well Built but I also know that We All have slowed down a little and Some Of Us have slowed down a lot .

Just another dismal day spent doing very little to nothing but carrying this with me .


Brought it out of Retirement again to have with me while I went out back to pick up the Raccoon Damaged bird feeder and repair it .

Harry, I didn’t know those Wisconsin raccoons liked sunflower seeds! ;) If you’re going to spend your day doing little to nothing that beautiful old TEW is a good one to have in your pocket! :thumbsup: :D

We even had to adapt a tool, so I could bend the blade to a 45 degree angle, and then hammer it back! :eek:

Thanks John, a flat-ground Shadow-pattern drop-point is pretty run of the mill these days, but in the early 90's, it was considered so radical I had to set up my own company to make my range of knives :rolleyes: The U1 took up a couple of years of my life, much of which was taken up by developing the HT. It got massive publicity at the time here in England, but the Sheffield cutlers s£457@d me, as is their way :mad: It is certainly a tough knife, one reviewer I sent a test model to seemed intent on destroying it! After dressing out, skinning, and butchering a couple of deer, he set about bashing it through 'substantial baulks of very hard wood, against the grain', with a mallet, then opened some cans with it, and since it was still sharp, he then hammered it through the bottom of an old galvanised iron bucket, continuing to bash it until he had cut a circular piece of iron out of the bottom :rolleyes: He dulled the mirror polish in a couple of places, but it was otherwise totally unscathed, and I had it re-polished and sent him the knife back :thumbsup:

Fabulous pair of Robeson Barlows my friend :) :thumbsup:

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and that your week gets off to a good start :thumbsup: I got clobbered with a pile of work, but that can happen any day of the week :rolleyes: Better get on, toting these three today, 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot in Super-Duper horn (should have trademarked that phrase), Ray Smith Barlow in Mammoth (an extremely kind gift from @Bladeplay74 ), and a Schrade Uncle Henry Bear Paw LB7 :thumbsup:

Thank you very kindly, good Sir!!!
Those are three wonderful choices, from the "rough and ready" Yank to the very sophisticated English gentlemen; love those horn covers (and your "Super-Duper" tm! :)) :rolleyes::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Your pair of Barlows are heavenly. Particularly fond of the Daddy B., but I can be swayed by the Sawcut B. Excellent image.
