A great one to all

Man, that thing is beautiful! Gotta find one or maybe even a 47 in that brown burlap!

Awesome 4-line Cami and a beaut of a BF knife Jeff... wonderful pics as well

Thank you kindly, Gus!

I like that pale bone pair, Jeff! The "castrated" jack with the missing bollocks shield is a "conversation piece"!


Jeff, I like your mastery over spell check!!



First-rate trio, Jeff!


Thanks for the extra info on the TL-29 cow bone re-handle.
Cool that you got to see Leon Redbone; I wonder how he came up with his unique, anachronistic approach to music.

Ha thanks as always, Gary!
No castrating was done . The spey blade on the cattle knife must have done it’s share of work, though, judging from how it had been sharpened down to an awl.
The Shrade jack is one of my lessons in online buying. The seller just accidentally managed not to show the tang stamp, which has no USA. And also angled it to not show the “Shrade Anniversary” blade etch which would have indicatef it was made after Schrade USA had gone belly up. Still, it’s a good user that came cheap.
Bollocks shield ~ lol.

As my way of staying mentally sharp, I keep spellcheck turned off! How am I duing?

Regarding Leon Redbone, great exlectic mix of blues, folk, cajun, etc, and a darned good fingerpicker. Must have sold something at the crossroads!

Love the red... they make the perfect carry knife unless your knife knuts like we all are.

To all my porch friends who’ve left kind and thoughtful comments regarding my post about the Wall of Honor.
Your kindness is much appreciated.
Be assured we are at peace, filled with years of good memories.
There are many here on the porch who’ve put themselves in harm’s way in the service of their fellow mankind. In many ways.
I appreciate you all.
This is my only “social media” outlet, so thanks for allowing me to share a little.

That top knife is really interesting , with the tiny Wharncliffe blade, the MORLEY tang stamps on the right, and the pictorial tang stamps on the left. I'm assuming the 2 left tang stamps are the same image, but what is the image? Looks like a little bush with something on each leaf?

Thanks for your interest, Gary.
W.H.Morley & Sons was one of the many brands made for Adolph Kastor and Brothers importers (who went on to own Camillus) The image is a four leaf clover, possibly representing the four Kastor brothers.

Here's a collage I found on the web of tang stamps from cutlery brands that A. Kastor is known, or suspected, to have had a hand in.

I hope everyone has a peaceful Memorial Day. I'll be carrying these:

That’s a cool montage! I had no idea.

That's also true for me, Jeff.
My thanks to all the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. My thanks also to those families that still live with the memories of their loved ones who fought so bravely for us.

Amazing pair of Ancients, Dean, and very cool photos! (I DID see the cicadas, too; I don't think my area is supposed to get the Brood X 17-year cycle variety.)

Thanks, Dean; Rough Ryder has quite a few "copper-themed" offerings.
I'm drawn to the chestnut bone Case knives, but I think I've been "stuck" on 8 patterns for the past 1.5 years: Swayback Jack, Sodbuster Jr., Sowbelly stockman, Mini Trapper, Peanut, Muskrat, Teardrop Jack, and Medium stockman. I'll eventually get a full-size trapper, but probably not a folding hunter or a Cheetah. I think Case has made a canoe in chestnut jigged bone, although not as part of the most recent series, and I'd like to hunt one of those down someday.

Splendid knife, Dean!

Gary, I appreciate the kind comments you always make on my knives - thank you. That is quite a list of Case chestnut bone knives you have.

Among the knives I'll carry for the next 7 days are a red Vic Cadet, a Vic Classic, a Marbles Workman camp knife (thanks, Mike), and a Taramundi I bought in Sevilla, Spain.

Nice group again, Gary. I think the Marbles camp knife is classy looking.

I forgot about my utility knife. It's only appropriate to show it on this hat as I spent quite a bit of my time in WESTPAC

I went on a Memorial Day hike with my friends and a bunch of other people; we were led by a park naturalist.

I carried these two knives to honor those who have made the greatest sacrifice, their lives, for our freedom. Thank you to them and to their families. The Case stockman was a gift from my father who was a WWII veteran.
