I thought there was something odd going on there...


And now I see what was so odd about it... That is a super cool mod!

Thanks John! I’m happy to share the story again!

Thanks John! I’m happy to share the story again!

Thanks for sharing the story again, Ron.
The knife turned out perfectly and I'm sure your friend would have approved.

Thanks John! I’m happy to share the story again!

Wow, that was a pretty emotional rabbit hole- never having known who BigBiscuit was, I ended up doing a whole bunch of reading. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit misty-eyed. Awesome story, great people, memorable knife. Thanks Ron- I'm glad you carry that knife!

I particularly like the pivot pins being a different metal. It's only a matter of time until all of typical polished bolsters show the pin lines- I say bite the bullet and make it a feature! Looks way more interesting than a little circle in a homogenous color of silvery/gray or brass.

+1 I like old fashion with outer rivet.

A nearly perfect weather day for me, 60 degrees and overcast. Happy Friday everyone!

Cannot argue about the weather, Tom.
I like the big folder. Could you please share the details?

Thanks John! I’m happy to share the story again!

Wow. I missed that originally, so thanks for the link, Ron.

Thanks John! I feel like he did approve!

Thanks Dan! Bob was a good friend everyone here. Some of us were fortunate to have a more personal relationship with him.

Big Knife of the Week is a Case slimline trapper (thanks, Tom). It's kinda long, but not that big, actually.

Thanks Jeff! It is a Winchester Sowbelly, circa 1991. Polished carbon steel, with nice thick stag. I really like this crest shield.

That's a top-notch trio, Gary! The Case Mini Copperhead is inspiring (to me).

Felt like this one today. What solid knives these are. Hefty but you know it will last a long time.

A lovely folder I bought many years ago from Russell White. Sadly he's not well enough to make at the moment, and I know he was probably the reason for some of the best Taylors Eye Witness folders I have too

Was his birthday this week......many Happy Returns, Russell....!

Russell White certainly did make some beautiful knives my friend . I think , but do not know for sure , Russell made the 2 Eye Witness barlows that I have . Yours was obviously made by him when he was making his own brand and it is also outstanding . Thanks for showing it .

One ole friend and one in black! Y’all have a great day!

Your modded 47 is one of those One Of A Kinds that you wish they would make lots of and I am very sure that it is made of Unobtainium .

Here are the 3 that I had today.

 

[paulhilborn]

Thank you very much my friend . Much appreciated .
The color of the bone of your KA-BAR is just perfect . That is just a beautiful knife Paul .

Thanks Harry, it is worn smooth over the years. I am lucky to be it's caretaker until the next lucky person claims it

Those two pair well JJ



That one is certainly enough Harry



Beautiful Paul

I'm carrying my pocket-hogging Hartshead Barlow, and an Old Friend in the shape of this Thomas Turner Penknife Have a good Friday folks

Thank you Jack, it's obvious why the HHB covets so much pocket time

That is one of the nicest knives i have ever seen, absolutely magnificent.

Thank you cudgee, I am fortunate to have found it it's a great old knife.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Bit of a crazy day, though I have had these two with me all day.

 

[Pàdruig]

These two for a good end to the work week.
