Nice Big Jack! Well, both are superb, but I have a “thing” for big cigar jacks.Jeff, you noticed correctly my friend! In 2018 when Harry @Old Engineer and his lovely wife Nancy arrived at the hotel in Titusville where we were staying for the Rendezvous, Pam and I went down to the lobby to greet them. Harry surprised me with this wonderful handcrafted walking stick and a wooden Starrett micrometer box. As you stated previously the handle is constructed using an original old harness hame. The stick on my cane is made from a shovel that Harry bought and used when they built their home. Harry told me how old it was but I don’t remember exactly. I feel safe to say at least 30 years old. This definitely is one of my most cherished items. I felt extremely honored that Harry would take the many hours required to make this and then surprise me with it as a gift. It just goes to show you the caliber of people that are on the Porch.
Thanks Stuart! The #35 Churchill pattern is IMO one of the best from GEC in a long time.
I’m totin this pair today. A Northfield SFO #54 Single Spear in Red Jigged Bone and my Rosewood Hartshead Lambsfoot Barlow. I hope y’all have a great weekend!
It’s Camco Friday!Sheepfoot Lambfoot
No complaints about my Bullnose in Nifebrite, but that honey colored micarta knocks my socks off! How did you achieve that color after thinning it down?Inspired by a few folks here, I decided to slim down one of my Bullnoses, and I love it!! Will be carrying this the next few days, have a good weekend everyone!
Before Duckdog answers, I’m going to say white oak. We’ll see if he confirms!Superb pair, Jeff!
Charming couple of Cases, Stuart! But the bark on that log is what really caught my eye - very "furry". What species is that??

The one on the left is a S&M Heritage Jack in rosewood. I just finished the set and am quite pleased with all three.An impressive wood duo, Jiki, but the knife on the left has me "stumped"; what make/model is that?
Camillus Jack.
That's definitely keen, Steve! The shadow from the shield makes me wonder if the shield is inlet into the bone at all, or is that just a trick of the lighting?

Yep. Almost . Put some mink oil on that Trapper pouch. Set it in the sun, or if you don't live in a place where the daily heat index is 105+, warm it with a blow dryer. Give it 20 minutes or so, wipe and buff, let it dry overnight. By tomorrow it will be a whole lot softer than it is now, and it will also be waterproof.Here in our semi-cleanroom, these are the three I have with me today... the #82 Dixie Stockman (newly acquired in trade, thanks Blake) is riding in a cheapie Case trapper belt pouch, and the ramfoot is primary carry in front right pocket, with the SAK Soldier in front right cargo pocket. This is the Dixie's maiden voyage... it's almost too pretty to carry...... almost.
There is a season for all things
OOOOh such beauty !!!!! A sweet pairing indeed
Good wood Forum knife, Dean!
I didn't think I'd like a 3-spring stockman, but the Case 6347 certainly works for me.

I always appreciate your noticing my knives, Dean.
Breathtaking brace of Cases, Dean!

I live in north Texas... we actually had a cold front come through.. dropped the temps down a few notches..... we might actually cool down to the 105+ level if it this trend continues....Yep.
