[Fodderwing]

Just gorgeous. Wish I could find one like it.

Thank you and I hope you find one!

Dwight : you sure have a bunch of some very nice knives my friend .
Harry

Thank you Harry and you are right. We are most blessed with the superfluous and the essential.

These in my pockets today :

When I carry them it brings back memories of our last trip out West via a smallish town in North Dakota and stopped to see a good friend
And then some other friends in Wyoming



And Montana
And some great scenery along the way .

Sorry folks , but my mind wanders around a lot . Have a great day to all.

Harry those tobacco barlows are on my short list. I love em! You and Paul make a striking couple. If you have a peripatetic mind... that's some great places for it to go...

My favorite frame and style of all remains the Schrade 8OT/881. Here it is as sold by Sears under the Craftsman label, likely made by Imperial. I have carried this one about 50 percent of the time over the last year.

You could certainly be right because the Craftsman bears such a close resemblance to Imperial Frontier 4” Stockman.
Here’s mine- it sure is a great knife!
Does yours have the same steels? Mine has carbon main and sf, and stainless spey.

Didn’t they used to call that French Ivory? I remember it was a very specific style of celluloid. I remember arguing with someone many moons back who said because it had the lines in it that proved it was ivory and not celluloid.

I remember when they were finally convinced to do a hot pin test to prove it one way or another, they were never heard from again.

I always knew it was artificial, I just thought it was micarta and not celluloid. Any other thoughts?

My Camillus model 23 has the same scales.

Yes, it is indeed celluloid.
When in doubt, ask the guitar industry. This stuff has been used for binding on guitar bodies for years.

The cotton fibers were aligned to simulate genuine ivory.
Both of my 23s have ivoroid, and no sign of deterioration. I had actually planned on rescaling one of them, but I ended up really liking them as is.

What a glorious incredibly special knife! You had a very good day when you got that one into the boat. Congratulations.

Thank you Dwight! I don’t own many stag or English made knives and I sure am happy to reel this one onto my boat!

Took the Victorinox to the mountains this morning looking for tracks in the fresh snow.

Then I grabbed the Frontier when I got home. Time to satisfy my sweet tooth with some Zebra cakes

So it’s Super Bowl Sunday.
I don’t care one bit about either team.
( just wait til next year!)
I don’t drink alcohol.
I rarely find the Socially Correct commercials amusing.
The lipsynching halftime entertainers are a joke.
I have really cleaned up my diet with regard to processed foods, carbs, sugar, etc...
So why am I about to go to the store and buy the ingredients for a big dish of some disgustingly delicious Super Bowl Munchies? Some recently verboten corn chips, etc, and sit down and watch the Big Game?

Ah, what the heck. Gots to loosen up and relax, right?

Patina and Old Rogers Bone today.

Nice looking bone indeed . Is that a VOOS ???

Patina and Old Rogers Bone today.

Beautiful!

Warning! Mr.Voos is going to make you wonder why you still look at other knives.

 

[Dschal]

Out with this one, as the warmup begins.

I’m totin this Buck Canoe today. This is one of my three stash knives I leave at my daughters place. I’m dog sitting my grand dog for several days while my daughter is traveling! Hope everyone has a great day and evening! In memory of Bob @BigBiscuit and in support of my good friend Paul @paulhilborn I’m pulling for the New England Patriots in tonight’s big game!

You have me thinking about one of those Ron . Are they made in the U.S.A. and are they good quality ? They do look good and I know , for $20 what do I expect .
