A lovely Empire, Jamie, what are the secondary blades?

Jeff,

I need to get some good pics of this one opened up but these are all I have yet. Pen and file blades on this one. Unsharpened with original polish. The milled liners, pearl and sunken joints make for a fine knife.

It's not new, but I got this Schrade Walden 236 in a week or so ago.

Just popped the tube, it passed its close inspection with flying colours.
Talking of which, Antique Yellow is a very nice choice. Many thanks
to Barry for his service. Regards, Will

@ Todd and Jon

Both are BEAUTIFUL Barlows:thumbup:

This 1980 CASE just arrived in the mail about an hour ago, gorgeous appaloosa covers and centered Solid blades

KBA · Sep 5, 2014

I was able to find the other grail I was looking for, the 735109L in white bone, to go with my 735109 in bocote. Finally able to remove both from my signature.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Those shields are really cool. Has GEC used them often? The 73 is a pattern I really need to try out

I'm glad you were able to find both Brett!!

Thanks all for the compliments.

Turk - Others will know this more than I would, but I have only seen that shield on the older 73s and on a few half congresses. I think it is on a few others as well, but can not remember which models.

I was out at our local stockyards some time ago and was trimming a wood board on a fence gate with my #79 Montana Workhorse Whittler when a youngster came up to me and started asking questions about the knife and it's ebony covers. After a bit of discussion, I gave him the knife. Well, I got to missing that knife so I ordered another and it arrived yesterday. Here it is.

Really great stuff, Ed-- especially your giving the first knife away, but also your finding and securing a second. That in itself speaks well of the pattern.

[The #79 Workhorse Whittler (3-blade iteration) is one of my favorite of GEC's plethora of patterns.]

Me, I'm still marveling at the Case Canoe that just arrived, courtesy of Primble's great generosity.

My only picture so far, complete with oven-oopsie backdrop:

This is my first in-hand look at a Case canoe. The knife much more substantial than I had gathered from pictures only, while being a wonderful slim carry. A very fine piece indeed.

The blade edges are keen (and I believe original? They sport the tell-tale striations of Case's less-than-finished finishing, anecdotally attributed to Case's catering to collectors who can thus 'prove' at a glance that a given collectible has never been sharpened. Gasp).

Awed by the Canoe's blades' near-silent evisceration of newsprint, I am once again thrown back to ~~the drawing board~~ my stones and/or various devices to work on my sharpening skills-- but not on this knife! It doesn't need my "help," yet.

Not sure ,I might've got this just before I got that sheepfoot swayback from John. But it is a 4" trapper with 3V steel by Bret Dowell. Horrible pictures of a super fine knife. Everything about it is flawless. I have a small simple lanyard of Vietnam era cord , since this had a handy lanyard hole. I've not used it,nor tested it,or cut anything,but this steel is supposed to be some good stuff.

It's not one GEC uses often... but there's still some #12 Toothpics and a #48 Improved trapper with corset shield still out there.

It's great you were able to find another Ed!! I hope the youngster appreciates the one you gave him.

Great looking bone P.!!

3V is some good stuff Vince!!

Just found these this morning at a local Gun Show, Pair of Uncle Henrys in nice shape. Both knives still tight and smooth, will need sharpening. Hard to beat for the grand sum of 22 bucks.
