Thanks Paul !!!
Bought it at the Rendezvous . I like it a lot too , but not as much as the 85 or 73's & 72's .
It is a little small and loose in all of my Slips .

Well I did not know they already do it in China!!!
But this is actually an original made in Germany (Solingen) in the year 2007.

Yep, I believe buzz Parker bought the name.
He was also having some fixed blades made in Spain which are the exact same knives Jim frost was having produced under the hen & rooster brand.
They seem really nice for 100$ with some well made looking sheaths.

I really like how this has half stops and opposing nail nicks.
It came in a real nice magnetic closure box too.
Just plain above and beyond the 9$ price tag.

Oops. Wrong thread.

Carried, and used, this Queencut jack all day. It's one of the least expensive knives I have but the history is what makes it endearing. I picked it up for less than $15 but it came with issues. The blade was so bent that it would not close and the pivot very loose due to some prying abusing. I used a vice to straighten the blade and then peened the pivot to fix the wobble. After that it needed filing on the rivet which was now pronounced after the peening. After that I reprofiled the edge and it was ready for use. Quite a bit of work for a $15 knife but it was a great experience bringing back a knife which was destined for the boneyard made it a bit special.

I literally just unboxed this humpback whittler. It's gorgeous! A perfect compliment to my new Bose Case imo.

Amazing example of the Humpback pattern!

I could stare at that horn all day!

Start of another week. I think I'm going to be carrying this Lambsfoot for a while I don't usually care much for the contemporary Sheffield clip all the remaining manufacturers do. I quite like this swedged example by A.Wright though. Unfortunately, my table-top pic doesn't show the swedges! Have a good week everyone

Fantastic pair of blades, Jack! While you know how I feel about those Guardian's Lambfoot knives, I have to tell you I really like the looks of that clip point!

Today

 

[Gevonovich]

One sweet knife !!

 

[Peregrin]

Nice knives folks!
These two are on deck for tomorrow.

 

[Cutfinger]

I’m mixing things up today, carrying an old WW2 era Camillus TL-29. This knife is still like a bear trap, 60 years later.

Wow yeah, I guess it's more like eighty years now....niiice knife!
I am starting to see the appeal of the TL-29, tough little bugger eh.
And great to mod, but I wouldn't dream of changing that one.

Damn! Nice! That stag is beautiful and the Russell compliments it very well.

 

[Vaporstang]

Something finally knocked the 2016 BF knife out of my pocket. I've started carrying this along with a Schrade-Walden Peanut as a secondary carry..

 

[Jack Black]

Fantastic pair of blades, Jack! While you know how I feel about those Guardian's Lambfoot knives, I have to tell you I really like the looks of that clip point!

Today

Thanks a lot my friend, I will have to get some better pics of that Clip Fantastic pic, I'm looking forward to getting my Guardians pocket-sheath

Carrying these two today

On-topic: I continue to carry the #68 Pony Jack pictured herein every day.

October 16th:

2013 GEC #68 Pony Jack and 1903 tiny, leather notepad atop the late 1800s Railyard Tool Chest in which the note pad was discovered.

( paulhilborn - the fountain pen script!!)

~ P.

Cool journal P. Are there many more pages? (The PJ fits right in, like something the journal's owner might have carried.)

My apologies for the delay, but here I am (have I mentioned recently how much I love the new software feature that sends alerts when one has been quoted? I would have missed this otherwise, as this thread zoops by).

Context, late 1800s Railyard Chest:

(As first seen in a friend's store)

At home in the glare:

Discovered inside a drawer by the shop owners, and generously included with the chest, an exquisite gilt-edged, leather-bound notepad, 4 1/4" x 2 3/8":

As seen previously, its first entry is from 1903, in fountain pen script:

This is the only page scribed such, but after a gap of around 3 years someone else (possibly EARL?!) evidently used it as more of a grab-and-go, penciled-in note pad, which is equally endearing. Many (most?) of the pages are still blank, but there are notes throughout, seldom on consecutive pages, including maintenance records, tallies, quick measurments/specs, etc.-- and a List that's my favorite of all (last)!

AND:

This is all changing and it is much cheaper to manufacture in China, any way thanks for the explanation!!!

Today I continue with Bulldog barlow, this time with sister in stag...
