Cool Rosecraft lambsfoot, Mike! :cool::thumbsup::cool:
I recently got a Rosecraft with a lambsfoot on one end and a clip on the other, with beautiful gray bone covers (that look completely "blah" in every photo I take :rolleyes:).

Than you, GT.
Yeah, some knives are extremely hard to do justice to in a photo.

This is a really handsome knife, with splendid stag, and I love the tang corner covering bolster shape and overall smooth profile of the closed knife. What make and model is it? Spearpoint blade?

It's a Puma 921 folding hunter. This one is a lockback. I have another one that has the lock integral to the bolster. You have to rotate the liner/scale on one side to unlock it.

Case Knife of the Week is an amber bone CV canoe (not a Top Ten Case knife, but it is on my Top Ten canoe list):

Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week is an Imperial serpentine clip/pen jack, 3 1/8" closed, that once belonged to my late father-in-law. It's a Top Ten knife in this category mainly for sentimental reasons. When my wife gave it to me in January 2014, it rekindled my interest in pocketknives and led me to a new hobby/interest that has been very entertaining for the past 10+ years.

That's a stockman of distinction IMHO, and I've admired it each time you've posted it recently! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:

Thank you. I didn't carry it much for years, because it's so slim and elegant, it can't be strong. One of my notions. It's obviously been strong enough for a long time, and it's great in the pocket on days when the legs of my jeans are more than heavy enough by themselves.

Something even lighter today for the hospital, then maybe humor myself with something heavier in the yard.

Couldn't choose whether to carry wood or bone this morning. Decided that life is too short, so I'm carrying both.

They actually make a hell of a pairing. I've got spear, clip and coping blades, can and bottle openers, and a punch. Both wood and bone; both older and newer vintage. All made in USA, with not a bit of brass between them.

You know, it's easy to get down on life, to focus on all the bad. But these two knives somehow turn all of that around, and put a smile on my face.

Is that scout pattern a Camillus? It has gorgeous bone scales.
