Glad you towing the line, sir!

Primble
My vote is stag and about 1940-45 vintage.

And the knife is a John Primble Belknap and here is a picture of the beast open. God, I love this knife! And yes....;)

Bleh, nice knives. I really like the background. Was that an old woodworking book?

You astonish me. I have two 303s and love them both.

The problem is mostly me. I spent such time and effort trying to get hold of one, when I finally did it wasn't at all what I was expecting so I disappointed myself. Very poorly ground blades, poor fit and finish and weak walk and talk plus my (probably far too high) expectations meant frustration. Ce la vie. :)

Were you expecting a grail knife from a $40 stockman? Everyone's different but I own a 301 and 303 and love them both. Can't please them all I guess.

Thanks for the info. I was not familiar with that book.

Today I am carrying this jewel. I just received this Imperial Barlow (purchased on the exchange). This matches my childhood knife that was misplaced long ago. I buffed up the bolsters and did a bit of general cleaning. I am happy with results. Although, I did like the wear marks and patina.



Have a good weekend everyone.

Lol true true!

I see the word Grail used a lot here. It's an odd theological metaphor that has evolved into a thing in its own right. What once was a plate, chalice, or even a precious jewel in some writings has become a term for anything desired and near unobtainable. 'I just bought my grail knife!' Love it.

Anyway, using the current exchange rate I paid $79.49 for it. Plus shipping. More fool me!
 
Gev, nice Belknap, and very timely with the Washington bolsters! ;)

Made me pull out my Washington bolstered, modified S&M EJ. The fall colors in the bone are apropos right now, as well.
