Spear-Carriers!

That is a fantastic dogleg! I can't make out the tang stamp, what brand is it?

Thank you! It’s an Ulster. It’s etched “warranted” on the blade but not well captured on the photo.

Ulster

Fine Ulster Al. Just beautiful.

Not so very long ago, the Barlow seemed to be the fashionable choice on this Forum I think it's been de-throned...but it's still ranks high amongst knives carried. I have no evidence but I've always thought that the Spear is the original Barlow blade. It goes well with Clip & Sheepfoot but for me, it's made in Spearland

Here's a good example in carbon/sawn bone

Here''s one-its is Spear.. That I was tremendously lucky to win in a legendary GAW from @Campbellclanman some years back, ace Duncan, ace!

Fantastic specimens Will. I will never fall out of love with barlows. They are heavenly.

I love spear blades, I think nothing looks classier than a spear main with a long pull, all dressed in black.

Hence why the aged beauty below caught my eye rather quickly yesterday.

Simply stunning Shap Dylan. Great find.

I took that pic of the Case canoe about the time there was a thread discussing how some people were bothered by pics in which knives were shown with an open blade but the shield upside down.

I rotated my photo 180 degrees in an effort to offend as few folks as possible.

Can't they just turn their computer upside down?

Fielding a Big Gun there Ron! I didn't even know it was offered in Dam? Dam just Dam Impressive

Love the handles on the Russell!!

Thanks! It's a very well put together knife, no gaps or play, first-rate W&T. Brushed stainless bolster looks good and is practical, no rusting. They did a Grandaddy version too I believe but I think they are Clips only?

When I think of spears, GEC 85s come to mind. Some have been shown in this thread already but... this one is mine.

Thank you for the kind words Will! This one is a souvenir from the Case/Zippo store in Bradford PA. Pam and I made a trip up there when we were at the 2017 Great Eastern Cutlery Rendezvous.

Beautifully mellowed stag on that German beauty Will!

Here are two more from GEC’s Spear offerings. A 79 Workhorse Whittler, this one with Smooth Ivory Bone and an 85 Teardrop Jack with Buffalo.

 

[Will Power]

Oooohhhh! I'm all over that Ivory Bone one Ron, what riches

 

[Will Power]

GEC are something of a Spear Master, here Forum Knife 16

Case

Spears seem rare on CASE knives? Well especially newer ones, but this older example is superb, fine tang-stamp, slim Spear and the jigging while we're about it, spot on!

Thanks, Will

5K Qs Buckshot Colt very good bone, I have a Gunstock single Clip in that. Frosted etches can look particularly good and thanks for posting them, the shape of the Spear blade itself, makes it a good candidate for frost etches.
