Noteworthy bonestag on your trapper, Harry!
I wonder why Case calls it bonestag, when almost everyone else calls it stag bone. (The latter seems more accurate to me.)

Probably because #1 it is Bone and #2 it is supposed to look like Stag . They do make some models with Burnt Bonstag the I think looks better . I did not see it as an option for the full sized Trapper .

Hot day for us today , I think it hit 90 F . I know that isn't so hot to some of you and when I was younger it was a perfect temp . So instead of working outside I decided to finally finish a Project that I started a couple of months ago . I carried , and kept close , on the work bench a Case Trapper and an old TEW just in case I needed a knife . The stick used to be a shovel handle .

The Ablett

View attachment 2946514i have been carrying this 78 marrow bone for a week,i may be one of the few that like the 78 barlow/or something else,mine was more a flat bone with strait edges so I smoothed the edges and applied both red and brown dye to give it a mahogany look,the original dye jobs was a cool looking blue metallic look on one side but the other side was brown so I think I fixed that with this dye job.so now it is a feral marrow bone

Love the jigging on these two. Neighborhood had some new visitors this evening. Walked in the scorching sun today with the family in the Gravette Days parade.

Those look tasty, Dave! Knife’s not too shabby either.

Bull Buster and Camillus #1 today.
My brother and his son got me a ticket to see Billy Strings in Milwaukee last night.

Getting too old to be coming home at 2:00 AM, but it was a great time.

Sounds like fun, Jeff. I got to see Billy Strings a couple years ago at a festival in Arkansas. His flat-picking is incredible! Interesting crowd at his shows, at least the one we went to. It was very… aromatic.

Superb wood covers, Barrett!

Thanks, GT. I’m particularly fond of the black palm, it has great character.

Vibrant vintage pair, Steve!


Hey, your "safety" or "eagle beak" can opener on your Imperial is stamped "Pat Pend", so based on the info on the link I recently sent you about the patent for that can opener, your knife was almost certainly made between Nov 1944 (patent application filed) and Christmas 1945 (patent approved/issued), unless Imperial had a bunch of Pat. Pend. can openers they still had to use up after the patent was officially issued.

Does yours have brass liners?


Love to see a GEC with a lot of miles on it!


Nice dye job on a well-configures knife!


Versatility galore in that trio of knives, Jeff!


Superior stockman, ED!
My 2nd-favorite Case stockman pattern (after sowbelly).


I see England,

Fine wood pants!


In the late 1960s, there was a novel titled Trout Fishing in America by a guy named Brautigan. I think hippies liked it, although its relevance to actual trout fishing was quite minimal.


Very belated congrats to you and your bride on your matrimonial merger!


I agree that's a useful pattern, Frank!
Soon after I joined BF, I won, in a GAW, a NIB Schrade USA+ model, but I've been reluctant to use it because of its pristine condition. Your photo reminded me I should get an oriental version that I could use with no second thoughts. (Not as readily available as I expected it to be.)


Welcome back, Buzz! I always enjoy seeing your posts with photos of your WW2-era engineer knives.


Love the groovy stag on your AC!


I have one of those, ED, and think it's a superb knife!
I never knew exactly what the handle material was; I usually call it cracked ice.
But if it's really POM, I can probably be forgiven for accidentally calling it MOP!


Senior moments to come. I thought those were somewhere in the future for me, Bob, but they seem to have snuck up on me.


Congrats on your first Moore Maker, Greg; looks like a great addition to your fine bunch of whittlers!


Thanks for the fascinating tang stamp info!
I live about 30 miles from Holland, MI where there's a Tulip Festival each May that includes lots of kids (and adults) dancing in Dutch costumes like the ones on the tang stamp.


Fine pair of knives, Tyson; I especially like that sleeveboard pen knife!


A large stockman seems like a great choice to me (and I'd suggest you consider a sowbelly stockman pattern).
Isn't it strange how knives refuse to conform to our preconceptions?


Thanks for the additional photos, including the Taylor tang stamp.

I am sure that I will buy a Large Stockman as well... Or Sodie... Or both...
