Dapper and distinguished dark duos, John & Jeff!These old boys again today. Eagle, and Camillus.
View attachment 1521747 There’s something about an old knife.
Thank you, Gary; I recommend the dressed up burnt amber bone line from Case. That is a great shot of your Case Chestnut Bone knife collection.![]()
Extraordinary variety of tones from the chestnut jigged bone of yours Cases, Gary!![]()
...
Those all look amazing! I'm going to have to look for a chestnut Case at some point. The swayback is my favourite.
Thanks Gary, I'm enjoying the pics of your Case Chestnut Jigged Bone collection![]()

Wonderful line up of Case Chestnut beauties; five very photogenic lovelies!![]()
I appreciate the compliments on my chestnut jigged bone Case knives, folks.What a great looking family Gary! I have the peanut, swayback, and sodbuster jr. been looking for a chestnut sowbelly in CV, I have a couple sowbelly patterns but they are event knives and I don’t use them. I would like to have one to use. If you don’t mind me asking, when did you get yours? Don’t see them around much. And, thank you for the compliment on my picture!

I like your old friend from Deutschland, Dean!For Old Friends Friday, I'm carrying this Boker Tree Brand stockman model #7588. I've had it for several years.

Thanks for the info and for the congratulations.Thanks Gary !
Not sure if it’s the model number, 3768 is engraved on the mark side bolster.
*Grats on the blue bone mini !!
That's a peachy canoe, Les!
Really like that knife!I promise this will be the last image from me with the slight yellow tinge.

Joker Deantaño, Carbon 3" cutting edge, Bubinga.
Nice Kamp King, Tony!Thanks, I'll figure it out, Gary--that knife is too much fun not to carry!
There was another big one that I missed out on years ago--a large GEC Camp knife. Those blew right past me. I was reminded of it when I was whittling with the Kamp King yesterday evening. Made shavings in the garage, and then stepped into the dimming light to throw some sparks. The awl is perfect for that. Went with the black covers to keep with today's theme. Have a good one!

Nice photo of a varied quintet, a veritable Whitman's Sampler of folding knives!Pretty much like yesterday.

I can relate to that. I usually do the weekly grocery shopping at Meijer, and when I return home, I often show my wife the receipt that displays at the top how much I saved with specials, coupons, etc. I claim that those savings should be directed into my $1/day knife budget (probably tripling or quadrupling that budget), but she rarely sees it that way!I fell into the Costco trap. I don't go there often, so the bill is large, so I say, "Hey! That knife isn't so expensive compared to groceries!"
Superb black and burgundy combo, JJ!
If I had a nickel for every time I've heard THAT story from guys ...Thanks. It's certainly served me well since I got it in 2011 or so. It even helped me meet my wife. I was one of the photographers for her roller derby league.

I did not spot any Sasquatch today but I felt reassured with my trusty Laguiole by my side

Terrific keepsake, ED, and tribute to your shipmate.It's this Schrade 80T Old Timer today. It was carried by an old Navy Shipmate that I served with and passed on to me by his wife when he passed.

Fascinating story and cool photo, Todd!In addition to my stag mini trapper I’m carrying my 86 tortoise. This picture was taken on the wall of an enclosure I built for a few tortoises when our kids were 3 and 6. We still have the tortoises and the kids are now 17 and 20! It seemed like an appropriate setting for the 86 even though the tortoises are still in hibernation. Have a great Saturday everyone!

Nice Kamp King, Tony!I bought one at an antique shop exactly a year ago, as a possible "stand-in" for my very first knife, a Colonial Forest-Master I got about 1960. I worried that I might lose the Forest-Master if I carried it, so I kept my eyes open for a replacement with lower sentimental value. (Turns out that I carry my Forest-Master just as much as ever, even after picking up the Kamp King.) Yesterday, I returned to the antique store for the first time in a year, but the person who rented a little display case from which I'd bought the Kamp King (and at least one other knife about 2 years ago) apparently no longer was a "tenant". I wasn't able to locate any knives at prices in which I was interested, although after walking 1.5 miles to the store and then putting on a mask when I entered, my glasses were fogged up the entire time, so that was a deal-spotting challenge!

Your Dutch Army Knife is a champ!
The old peachseed 861 usually comes out on weekends. It’s not fond of hard work, and likes to just hang around looking pretty.

a peaceful day to all.
I like your unconditional statement!thanks, Gary. That one is the best folder I own—traditional or modern.
You're in the money, Gev!
Yeah, I think my objection is mainly aesthetic. There's a "vertical" (perpendicular to spine and edge) line on the blade at the front of the tang, and when the blade is open all the way, that line is NOT parallel to the vertical (parallel to backspring) front of the bolster....
I'm one that enjoys the downward cant on a blade... Maybe not as aesthetic, but very useful.
I prize the few GEC knives I have, but until they fix their market, I'm done with them too.

Thanks! It's not so easy to find souvenir knives these days, especially in NYC. Chinatown is different in a lot of ways.
He is, and I'll do my best.

Thanks, Jack.Thank you very much Gary, that was quite a post!![]()

Purple and gold for a gorgeous Sunday morning. Have a great day everyone! Geaux Tigers!
Thanks, GT, the gunstock stockman adds a little spice to the normal serpentine variety, IMO.
