Harry, you had an extremely productive day. What’s the second blade on the Cripple Creek?

Thank you very much my friend . I also feel that it was a very productive day . I did not find what I was looking for but I certainly did not expect to find a Taylors Eye Witness Gentlemens Barlow in MOP , or a Shapleighs Doctors Knife , and for sure not a Bob Cargills Cripple Creek NIB Split Back Whittler . I needed a Good MOP , a Doctors Knife , and Diamond Edge Barlow for my meager collection . I never would have thought to ever find a NIB ( with all the papers ) Cripple Creek knife that I like as well as a Splitback Whittler , much less one in Stag . It actually has 3 Blades . Clip , Pen , and Coping . To say that I am happy about what I found would be an understatement . And the day started out with having breakfast with @herder , @Amir Fleschwund , Mr. & Mrs @Half/Stop , and my wife at the local Cracker Barrel after having a phone conversation with our friend @paulhilborn on the drive over . Some days , Life Is Very Very Very Good .

image.jpeg Heads-up Buzzbait! You passion for the "camp/scout" knife made me curious. I've been hunting the past couple months and landed these three. You were right - the Remington is smooth and pretty, but the Camillus is just plain solid. It is still tight and snappy. The Cub Scout might be the weekend warrior though,with a blade, a bottle opener and a cigar holder(awl).

You made some great choices. The Remingtons really are quite nicely made. Wonderful craftsmanship. The Camillus engineers are just flat out useful. Great cutters with solid tools.

The Cub Scout knives have some relatively ugly looking covers, but the tools are quite excellent. I love how some of them lock, and the smaller overall size is really, really handy. My father-in-law and I had plans to have two of them recovered with nicer scales, but we just never got around to making it happen. It would still be a very worth-while project.
 
Arriving in yesterday's mail, a 1981 Case 63027 Small Stockman with Delrin handles. OH

The New A.G. Russell Medium Barlow Lockbacks have a pocket clip on them now.:eek: That sparked a conversation between Tom @Whetstone39 and I. Long story short, I told Tom that I didn't care for the new versions and that I wished I hadn't waited so long to decide to buy one.

Tom happened to have two of the originals that were made without a pocket clip and he sent me his Yellow Delrin version which is my favorite one of the batch. It just arrived today. Thanks again, Tom!

I picked up a couple more Parker Frost Bisons recently. The brown one was marked with 0097 to match my green one and a couple of trappers too. I’ve seen the red one on here before and if I could ever find the green trapper I’d be a happy camper.

Nice... You're lucky... I'm an AG fan too, as you know. I noticed the new barlow with the pocket clips in the latest catalogs. The old version was something I never acquired but wanted. Wish the new version kept the lanyard hole.
You have nice friends :)
