Long story short (a lengthier version is in the stockman Sunday thread) I took my five year old son to my favorite knife store which is in Spurger TX for some one on one time. I let him pick daddy out a knife. This is what “he” picked.

For Monday:

With all the talks of 35's recently. I had to break out this absolutely classic knife!!

Trestle Pine Topper

The Sabre grind on that is incredible. Beautiful knife.

Trestle Pine Topper

Great covers, Oak? The pry bar looks useful or is that a thumbnail/multi tool?

nice work, my modded opinel doesn't look that classy. Is that a carbone or did you use a strong etch on the stainless steel?

Thanks! But not my work. Matt Henry from IG is modding these. This is stainless steel, I think he gives it an acid-stonewash to accomplish this finish.

How do you like that knife? I've been thinking about getting one but can't find much information about it

I love this one and also the Trestle Pine Superior that I have. Both are well made, look great and have served me well as EDC knives. They were made by Queen Cutlery though (before they went out of business) and I have heard that some knives have poor fit and finish. There won't be more made by Queen obviously but Sven Kinast from the German knife shop Messerdepot has been working with a different manufacturer and is going to revive this line!

Great covers, Oak? The pry bar looks useful or is that a thumbnail/multi tool?

Yeah, the covers are old-growth oak. My favorite from the TP line! The Koch Tools Kursor is a brass prytool. Not exactly heavy duty tool material, more of a looker but it can get the basics done.

Thanks for the info! I took the plunge on a topper with ash covers. Hoping it looks good!

Thank you! It is 3-3/8” OAL, my sweet spot for pocketknife length. OH

OH, my favorite, lengthwise, is the Schrade 34OT which is 3-2/8. I have a yellow pen Case about the same length but I wish they had a pen with bone scales in production.

Thanks again Rachel, you really did a fantastic job with that RR Barlow

Rachel, once and again I am amazed by your mastery. Your artwork shoot that humble RR barlow through the roof in terms of looks and value. Even my wife, who is not really a knife enthusiast, said she could see herself carying that knife.

Thanks! Some of my efforts turn out better than others. You guys only get to see the successes.
