Nice Russell. Fun photos.
Thank you sir. ea42 re-handled that 1975 Schrade commemorative issue Russell for me back in 2015.
Schrade was said to have used old Russell tooling for bolsters and tang.
Originally, the knife had a Delrin handle that had become a bit faded and ill fitted after 40yrs.
I'd asked Eric for sawcut bone and he offered Mammoth he had laying around waiting for a project.
The rest is history
Thank you a bunch, Jack!!!Thank you very much JJ, that's a great-looking Puma, and the stag is stunning
Your lovely lambsfoot looks like a perfect holiday tote; hope your having a great day!Hope nobody has been badly affected by Ida. Got a holiday here today. Carrying a Rosewood Lambsfoot, had a few of these made up a few years back, better fit and finish, and a polished blade. Have a good week everyone
I was an RA back in the day. Hadn’t thought about that in years. We did some fun camping and canoeing trips.Funny, I have a very similar photo (from my photo imitation GAW a few couple ago).
Never was a Boy Scout myself. Instead, we had R.A.’s, which was sort of like the Southern Baptist version of Boy Scouts. I’ve probably had this knife longer than any other. Always makes me think of my dad.
Maybe I’m thinking of the lower falls then Gary, because I don’t remember any particularly difficult trails. We were there in 93. We remember that trip as our camping/condo trip. On the way up we camped which is what I wanted to do and on the way back we stayed in condos, which is what my wife wanted to do!Thanks, Todd.
Now there's a pretty nice brewery/restaurant at the Upper Falls. https://www.tahquamenonfallsbrewery.com
I really like the Black Bear Stout and the pastie that I ordered there a 3 weeks ago!

That is a really interesting knife! What make/model is it? Thanks!
Thanks. It's a CRKT Art Deco (Steigerwalt design). 3" closed, 2.25" blade.
OK. I understand now why they sell pants with reinforced pockets.I don't think Gary was talking about the blade tip
I think he was talking about the other end of the blade
(still very overcast today from hurricane Ida)
If I wasn’t supposed to fill that #4 cone type paper filter all the way to the top, why’d they make it that big?HA !!!... steam coming off it makes it look lighter but still may not be as dark as some like
I use about 7 grams coffee to 10 ounces water. Some might use that amount of coffee to one cup water

Enjoying your posts.
Your Laguioles are such slender, elegant knives when open!
(I wish they didn't have such a tall, sharp tang corner sticking out when closed.)
I'm sorry that my post wasn't more clear.
I was referring to the sharp corner of the tang square at the pivot end of the knife which on closed Laguioles seems to stick up in a "dangerous" way. 
I have a "Lag" I bought in Spain, but I'm convinced it was made in China!5KQ was speaking of Spanish made Lags I suppose...
Jim is much more clear in describing the issue that worries me about Laguioles.I don't think Gary was talking about the blade tip
I think he was talking about the other end of the blade
(still very overcast today from hurricane Ida)
Again, I'm sorry I wasn't very clear.Indeed, it is possible, I probably misinterpreted the post (problem of bad translation probably).
That's what I worry about, J.P. That tall, sharp corner of the tang in my pocket threatens to be a new kind of spey blade!!
Thanks. It’s not my idea, but I am having fun with it. It’s something different for sure.We need to start a new thread - "Traditional's & Trading Cards"
