Those are attractive lockback Schrades, guys! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Besides handle color and bolster/shield material, are there other differences? Looks like the brown one is carbon and green stainless? Are the blades the same shape?

Thanks Gary. While similar to the green handled Old Timer 5OT Bruin, I've never paid much attention to the currently available brown ones.
The currently available brown ones are made in China and use 7cr17 stainless steel, which is similar to, if not a copy of 440A.
The old made in U.S.A. green handled Schrade+ (440A?) ones are also made of stainless steel.
So maybe the biggest difference is simply the color and country of origin.
 
Totin this Schrade Fire & Ice Trapper today as we go by the sister-in-law's house to drop off her birthday present and then head out to the Brass Rail for their Sunday Brunch Special "Steak & Eggs". If I cut the steak up in itty-bitty pieces, my swallow can handle it.

Great knife and one of the greatest Cardinals ever…can’t get much better. 👍
Jon, does that turf have the ground up rubber material packed down in it like the stuff they play football on?

It has this really fine sand like infiller. It’s from what I understand there to add weight onto it.
 
This Remington R-151 ended up in my pocket this morning. This was part of the "Heritage 700 Series" made by Bear and Son not too long ago. Very nicely made. It kind of surprised me, because Bear has not had a good reputation around here. But everything is flush, the blade is perfectly centered, and it takes a nice edge. Nice saber grind on it.

My knife is shrinking...
Started the day with the #73, then moved on to the Indian River Jack, and now I'm using the Case Medium Jack.

I think you win the page so far John. Very nice trio !!!
Kinda wondering what's happened in the life of the IRJ. Maybe it has worked hard. That blade pivot pin looks to be a little sunken.

This brings back fond memories. My match safe had the rubber gasketed screw on lid and had the BSA logo on the side. I would love to still have my first scout knife, I think it was an Imperial, but especially my Official Boy Scout Plumb hatchet.
When you have younger brothers and go away to college...

This is my camp equipment from back in the day; I never had an official BSA knife, but I still have this Imperial Kamp-King Knife, Bridgeport Official Scout Ax, and BSA Official Match Safe as well as most of my other BSA equipment. It brings back a lot of great memories from my youth.

Thanks, John. :) I've been practicing using it to make the mark of the "Z".🤓


Lots of useful tools in that pic, John! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
You've identified the heck out of the knives, but how about some of the other tools?


That knife is classy, Gary, even in rather seedy surroundings! :thumbsup:;):thumbsup:


Best wishes for a successful search, Todd! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Seems like the rabies shots could serve as the stress test! o_O


😄🤓


I've already decided that when I carry the Zorro moose, I'd better wear my 2"-wide suspenders, rather than the 1.5"-wide braces! 🤓😄
I've rarely met a bowl of chili I didn't thoroughly enjoy, but I'm ambivalent about trying "suicide chili"! 🥵o_O;)

Ditto! ;)🤓


Taylor, that stag Dixie is SO appealing; a stockman doesn't get much better than that! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


I'm happy the marlinspike could serve so well for summer activities, Todd! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
Most acrylic doesn't do much for me, but every now and then I'll see some that really "floats my boat", and RR's midnight swirl is an example of the latter. :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
