Great picture.
Stu do you know what kind of wood this is?I've been working all day on a sports awards banquet taking place tonight, and toted this Smith & Wesson lockback hunter as a backup for breaking down boxes in case my folding boxcutter went awry. It did, and the S&M acquitted itself very well. Boy, will I be glad when this event in in the bag!
Sunk joint.

I never tire of seeing this incredible specimen. One of my all-time most favorites. Keep showing it Alan!My brass zulu by John Lloyd @John L and my lucky coin from Charlie @waynorth.View attachment 1140402

Thanks, Nick,
Look at that jigging and the bevels on those blades. Perfection in a single piece!
That's very nice. What is it?
Subtly superb pairing, Jeff. Thanks for sharing them today.
Elegance and utility in your hands, José. Well done, my friend.
Travel safely and good hunting.
I use you, @Jack Black , @Half/Stop , and several others as my lodestars, GT.
Thanks, GT. I'm liking it even more after a couple days' carry leading up to the banquet.
I agree with Fodderwing that the RR is a beaut, but the blue Case is excellent everyday elegance.
Gev. that gorgeous knife is greater that the sum of its parts. Kudos, pal.
Excellent Gev!! Just excellent.
Thank you fine Gents for the fine thoughts !! Greatly appreciated. So much beauty nowadays...wow !!Rembrant
Mesmerizing and wondrous !On June 6, 1944, my father (who passed in August 2017 at 96) graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West point, NY. The Normandy invasion was announced at the ceremony. By December, he was in the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment at the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium. The knives below were not his; I received them from my stepfather who collected them in 1980 to around 2006 (he passed in 2012 at 89). They are in my pockets today.

Thanks, Dean. You have an eye for quality!
Jack, Dean, David, Stuart, Jeff: thanks for the fine and touching commemorations of D-Day!
Thanks, Harry & Stuart & Dean. The blue jigged bone Case mini copperhead with the red shield is IMHO the best looking knife I own. (And it convinced Dean to get one just like it. )
Thanks for the clarifying info, Dean.

Thank you kindly, Dean !! That TC is divine and why do I want to go fishing all of a suddenPoetry in words and knife, Gev! That really is a beautiful Farmer's Jack!
I wanted some color to brighten an already beautiful (if humid) day, so I grabbed this Shapleigh "Diamond Edge" model B472 senator pen in abalone celluloid (1917- mid 1940s).
And I decided to spice things up for Fiery Friday with this E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter, also in celluloid (1870-1940).
These should get the tongues wagging when i join my friends for libations this afternoon.
