Not posting as often as I'd like this week because of this. In fine traditional style, the snow piles by the fence were formed one shovelful at a time over the past 3 days.
You really broke out the good stuff today, GT
Thanks for saying so, John.
I tend to get quite fond of most of my knives, whether they deserve it or not, so it's nice to get validation from an "unbiased source."
...
The LE stands for Limited Edition. Thank you for the compliment on my stag pen!
Thanks for the translation, Dean, and that old stag pen is quite remarkable!

Thanks GT, I barely know anything about them myself. I'll have to look back through a couple threads, I think in the newest addition thread someone told me its a Robert Klaas "Lovebirds" stamp. Apologies to who provided the info for not remembering who it was
. There undoubtedly are others more qualified to provide relevant information on the stamp. And Klaas's connection to Kissing Krane
Found the post
Stag Saturday - Let's See Some Traditional Stag!
I enjoy the tang stamps that include animals, and I don't think of seen those lovebirds before, David. Thanks for the clear photo!
For the 27th consecutive day.
...
That's like ALL YEAR so far!!
Didn't get out much today just out to the store for cat food and back. Dropped my new Camillus 23 in my pocket.
Those pearl handles are the epitome of elegance, David, while the size of the knife says, "I'm a tough son of a gun."
...
That's in his DNA, GT. That Case peanut is the winning legume today, IMHO.
...
Yes, GT, he was a well respected critic for his depth of knowledge of film making, its history and objectivity on the films themselves. But, he didn't parse words or suffer mediocrity. As to the Kissing Crane/Klass, the NKCA dubbed it a whittler.
...
- Stuart!
Thanks for declaring my Case chestnut jigged peanut a winner, Stuart; knives from that series are some of my favorites. Thanks also for a little more info about Stephen Hunter. And "whittler" was NOT high on guesses I had for the pattern name of that intriguing NKCA knife.
... Starting mine with these two
...
Your AC stag and Case Barlow are small but mighty knives, Jack!!
Two new ones for Monday and one is Micarta!
...
Interesting new black/white combo, Ron; congrats!
...
Thank you, GT. The "slim slicer" part is exactly what I like about this one so much. That wharncliffe blade is wicked....
Nice pics of your 2-blade red bone 82 and your horn lambsfoot (from the lined bolster, I'm guessing that was some horn from 2018?)
Steve, that Rem is creme de la creme!!
It's the celluloid skin over hollow handles. The rust doesn't look particularly cellish to me, but I should peel that stuff off. I want to pop off the covers anyway, and peen the rivet a bit where the main blade has a lot of lateral play.
Thanks for the info.
I hope you can get it fixed up to your satisfaction!
...
These two with me today. The lime green on the custom fixed blade doesn't really have the classic traditional look, but it is 1095 and I think if someone had this a few hundred years ago, they would recognize what it is and how to use it
...
Lotta color in there with your FB's green handle and the Farmer's electric blue, Tom!
...
But for right now, this Voos is not going back in the cigar box. It’s one of my favorites, a perfect little jack.

What the deuce! The Voos is loose and he's got the juice!!
Today's carry is a 1981 Case Razor Barlow (thank you very much GuestWho101 aka Dee).
...
I'll bet not many of your Barlows have bolsters with that shape, Dean; very cool!
I'm still totin this Böker 8842 from yesterday, so I'm showing the pile side this time. The sun was much lower in the southwest when I got out to snap the pic and there was plenty of slanty light down in the wood pile.
- Stuart
We've looked at Böker from both sides now,
From mark and pile,
And still, somehow
It's Böker's bone that I recall,
It's sensational bone, that's all!
An old KA-BAR equal end Jack. The main is down about a 1/4 of an inch but whoever re-profiled it did a fantastic job
Matchstick pull, centered and solid blades with great snap and great aged smooth jigged bone covers
...
The covers on your Ka-bar are outstanding, Paul!
Toted these two favorites today:
...
May tote one or both tomorrow, but will definitely give some pocket time to my new Spanish polished deer stag navaja from
@ArtesaniaHerreros:
...
You've got yourself 3 exquisite knives there, Vince, in your stag lambsfoot, your ebony boy's knife, and your custom navaja!!
For me this week, in addition to a snow shovel, I'm carrying a full complement of pocket knives.
