[OldHercDude]

Not a busy day for me, just trash to the dumpster and a short walk. Brown synth Case Barlow for Tuesday's pocket carry.

 

[Old Engineer]

These were in my pockets today .
This 77 Barlow was my first GEC & Northfield


And this was my First Northfield Stag



I hope that you all had a safe and very happy Coosday

[JohnDF]

I’m glad you got one! Those scales are likely the same as yours ~ they are smooth. They called it Ivoroid, or French Ivory. I don’t think the material is celluloid, snd I’m relatively certain it’s not delrin, either. Is yours an advertising knife? A LOT of them out there were made for felt and paper mills.

I finally was able to recently score what I’d been looking for for awhile, one that was “new/old stock” that was in good shape, and I had been looking for one that wasn’t one of the many advertising examples (as you mention) that you tend to see on the secondary market. Here she is!

Beautiful pairing Dylan!

Thank you, Ron! That pair of yours is rather striking today - nice to see that #26.

Wonderful duo, Harry! Some of the finest Stag-n-Sawcut out there!


Continuing with just the 97 today.

Can't remember if I've commented on these or not, but that's a beautiful set IMHO.

Thank you!

Great description Jack, thanks a lot!!!

Visually stunning pair of stag beauties Jack, something very cool about that great old stag on your "random" slicer!

Toting these two trapper today; both from GEC.

Many thanks JJ, I love the way stag ages Terrific pair of Trappers there my friend

Or Ivorine or Xylonite I think it was ORIGINALLY celluloid. There's a dedicated French Ivory thread somewhere I seem to recall. I had a link to a site with a very thorough history of early plastics, but it's no longer online unfortunately. I dare say some Google-fu would turn it up

Talking of faux ivory, I'm carrying my Unicorn Ivory #25 today (thanks @btb01 ), along with my Hartshead Barlow Have a good day everyone

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

That looks quite good, my friend!

Nice staggy pair, and hydrangea!

You got a nice one for sure

Have to agree with Harry. That’s a fine looking knife!

Thanks for that, Jack! There’s a strong resemblance in that unicorn ivory!
I can only imagine one of my Big Jacks with stag like your HHB...

That’s two beautiful knives Harry! Certainly some of the best they’ve made! It’s easy to see how those two got you started down the ole Rabbit Hole!

Thanks Dylan! The patina is starting to show now Dylan!

Nice pairing Jack! The #25 is a capable companion to your Hartshead!

Old Cocobolo for the wooden Wednesday suggested attire.
Two old 4-line Camillus, the EO jack is the exact model my Grandpa carried as his “good” knife. He also had a cheap Imperial barlow, and a Hammer Brand pen with a broken blade. I don’t like to carry his old Camillus, so I looked for a long time to find this stand-in.

Have a day. Best if it’s a good one

Love that EO! Vintage gold.

How bout that Tele? Is it vintage as well? The bridge isn’t giving me enough clues...

 

[JonMcD]

2 wooden ones for Wednesday. Y’all have a blessed day!
