Templar Trapper Tuesday...

 

[Travman]

Good morning! I hope y’all have a great Tuesday!

Nice combo Ron. I love how dark red the corners & sides are on your sawcut Barlow. I always seem to get the ones that are pink in the corners.

This one is all red though.

Maybe not a practical plan, to carry all three.

Especially since I should be carrying a Tuesday trapper as well.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Same pair as yesterday, because three year old Remy is asleep in the room in which I have my cigar boxes of knives. Not that I mind carrying these again in the least—I could get used to it.View attachment 1194040

Thats pretty cool, nice piece of history. I like seeknives that are regional favorites

Thank you! I thought it might be interesting to stir the waters of the local pond by releasing some new fish in it.

Popularity of this knife does not stem from it being an exceptionally good one, but from a sheer lack of options for inexpensive pocket knife for kids of that time. It was dirt cheap and so it was everywhere.

I really like fish knives I have several gifted to me by @r8shell, I keep one in my wallet, and the other two are in my desk drawer with my Zorro Barlow and other special knives

Do you? Really? I wouldn't dream that this kitschy knife would get that far. It is a smallish knife (somewhere in vicinity of GEC #14) and a thin one too so it must be a good one to keep in wallet, I guess. It disappears in my pocket like nothing else. I always have to fish it out.

Templar Trapper Tuesday...

Oh, that is so nice. I have to get on here and play catch up. Again. Below is Sunday's carry. Been so swamped I forgot to take pics of Saturday's stag! John Primble 916 Stockman from the estate sale a few weeks back, finally got it cleaned up. I've seen this knife advertised as bone, but I believe these scales are Delrin.

 

[Jack Black]

Yep, Anarchy sandwich, hold the government.

Good morning! I hope y’all have a great Tuesday!

Great pairing Ron

Thank you sir! Very nice photos of your pair today as well. Those Damascus Lambs are something special to be sure. Don't you just love the authoritative action on those Ebony 44's? It's one that I quite enjoy myself.

Thank you very much Mark Yes, I really like the #44, I missed them completely, so it was a nice gift from Duncan @Campbellclanman

Yes, mainly for nostalgic reasons like yourself I had one like this in the top pocket of my fishing vest as a kid, and @r8shell very kindly found one for me It is even smaller and slimmer, so disappers in my wallet Rachel later sent me two like yours, one silver, one gold, along with a load of other goodies

 

[JohnDF]

Oh, that is so nice.

Thank you very much.

Thanks Gev, I think that may one of everal, er..."historical inaccuracies" in the film

My whole paradigm is dashed

Thanks Travis! The Old Red Sawcut from this first run of single blades IMHO is some of the best of any of the 77’s. That 25 NF SFO is also a nice deep red!

Great pairing Ron

Thanks Jack!

Today it's a mid '70s USA Schrade "Slenderino," an 897UH with some nice color and a rare tang stamp.

The back side of old patchy is a little more presentable.

Don't feel too bad mate! York has some incredibly historic buildings, but I have worked out that one of the reasons is that whenever anyone turned up at the city looking for bother, they surrendered, so it didn't get trashed!

 

[RDaneel]

Very very nice!! That bone is so warm and soothing to look at. Therapeutic knife you have there!

Thank you, Nick! It is soothing to the touch also.

Wonderful Schrade Dean, absolute proof they just don't make 'em like like they used to!!!

Thank you!

These two Tuesday totes are both wearing jigged bone covers from the same factory, made 50 years apart; a pre WWII Kutmaster scout and a 1987 BB Winchester toothpick.

Wow, great looking knives! The toothpick is gorgeous and the bone on the Kutmaster is beautiful.

Jeff, that is a fantastic example of an 897UH , which is my favorite Stockman pattern. I can't be sure, but it looks like a very early Schrade one, maybe 1973 (before that they were Schrade Walden). Is there a serial number on the inside of the scale on the spey/sheepfoot side?

Here's a photo of the serial number.

 

[RDaneel]

Today, I'm carrying a Buck 701 that was made by Camillus (I think). It has 2 springs, not 3 like the Buck made ones; good reasons to make them either way, but the 2 spring is more common.

Story and meaning lead to emotion
Step into the tension
Sustain it
Rejoice in it
Feel the alive-ness
In it

 

[black mamba]

Dean, yes, the serial number is S16617. Is yours not a Walden with that low number?
I also have a Walden with number A0972 that has the lovely gimping on the liners.
