I think that is about the most beautiful knife I've ever seen... one of my all time favorite knives all dressed up in stag and slanted/lined bolsters.
I'm a big fan of those stag Ashley's Choice lambsfoots, but have to confess that almost any knife with pork grilling in the background would have caught my eye!Welcome back and thanks for noticing my AC. I can’t keep up with this thread, but I try to dip my toe in the waters when I have an extra moment. It really does move fast (or perhaps I move more slowly!) these days.

Welcome back Gary!
Thanks for the warm words of welcome on my return from vacation, everyone!5K Qs ~ No, salsa cures what ails you. It does not cause ailments.
Looking forward to a few vacation pictures, and wondering if you detoured a bit to the big Case store up there...

I can imagine it is!Thanks, GT. It’s a workhorse for sure![]()
Thanks for the confirmation and additional information....
Yes, its an Albers. I traded for it with Catdaddy2The wood is Katalox, which I had never heard of before. Its nickname is Mexican Royal Ebony even though its not an ebony wood. Its a wood that the more I look at it, the more I like it. Hard to photograph though. I probably took 20-25 pics of it the other day to get half dozen good ones.
Amazing and ancient pair of lambsfoots!
Thanks, GT! It had been a while since I’d carried that little Case, and I forgot how much I like it.

You're welcome.Thanks! That’s the first time anyone accused me of cogency.![]()

Thanks for the fascinating back story!These two black utilitarians today...
The Case jack is always handy....and then the electrician TL29 is one of two pocketknives issued to me while in the USMC, the other being the camp utility style which many refer to as the Demo knife....really, interesting note, this TL-29 is the Demo issued to combat engineers and e.o.d. guys and I have heard them both be referred to as Demo...for me, they were both part of the E2900 small arms' repairman tool kit and being a tool room nco for awhile, I ordered a box of 12 and gave one (camp knife/utility) to each armorer in the infantry weapons repair shop where I was station at Camp Pendleton....later, they issued us Gerber and Leatherman multi tools with sheaths to keep, I still have all 4 variants...cheers for another warm and sunny Thursday gang!
Pair of aces, Tom!
Tremendous threesome (foursome, if you count the pup)!
Those are beauties, LT!View attachment 1627899View attachment 1627898
A day early, but have a Blessed weekend everyone. I hope those of us living in the vicinity of the Gulf of Mexico can dodge the Hurricane. Stay safe!
Can you tell that I like the 35 pattern?

Well, Gary, given that your lovely wife knows of your KAS (knife acquisition syndrome), that timing thing might not be entirely innocent.I'm a big fan of those stag Ashley's Choice lambsfoots, but have to confess that almost any knife with pork grilling in the background would have caught my eye!![]()
Thanks for the warm words of welcome on my return from vacation, everyone!Our trip was quite enjoyable, with lots of boats, birds, beer, books, bounteous meals, and time to walk my daily miles before breakfast in the cool of the morning.
Jeff, my wife has a different interpretation of commitment to departure times than I do, so, sadly, we didn't have time to stop at the Case dealer on the way up as I had hoped, and on the way home it was a race to get back in time to fetch the dogs before the kennel closed. Here ae a couple of vacation pics:
Antique wooden boat - saw lots of these:

A newer, but still old boat with tail fins that remind me a bit of a '59 Chevy (some matching knife content):

The view out our cottage windows to "Lone Pine Lodge" (that's what we've called it since our daughter's Nancy Drew days) on La Salle Island in Lake Huron:

Those are beauties, LT!
My first pocketknife was a Colonial Forest-Master, an equal-end scout knife, and I STILL think an equal-end multi bladed knife is about as good as it gets!
Classy scrimshaw!

I approve.Have a great Saturday!
Jerry Halfrich Small Rounder along with a handful of Blue Jay feathers found in the yard. I suspect one of the neighborhood feral cats had a hand in the Jays early demise. Likely the same one that my neighbor feeds, and that I shoot at with a pellet gun.

Maybe my 20 ga would be a better solution, certainly permanent.....That cat lives a rich and varied life!
Everytime you do that, I picture an unexpected wave.
