So I rocked my standby of more then 40 years ( not the same exact knife but same model) today and it once again handled everything I could expect from a pocket knife. I sit here now at my old work bench wondering why every few years I go on a search for a better everyday knife for me. All I ever end up doing is buy then selling and losing money on another knife that just doesn’t do anything more for me then the proven winner in my pocket.
At this point I just don’t see wasting 6-8 weeks to get a new $394 knife back from the manufacture just so I can sell it off so back goes my new Case Bose cattle knife to the dealer and in my pocket the 303 will stay. View attachment 1330577

You've actually reached an important juncture: knowing which knife suits, serves you best and understanding that pursuing others is largely futile;) I'd say it's an enviable state of being and knowing, an enlightenment :cool:

My path is still tramlines littered with distractions :D

Thanks Gary, yes it was a trapper. It was a strange orange yellow color so the first mod it received was a dye job. Thought darker brown looked better with the gunstock style checkering;) I used a dremel with a cut off wheel and was careful to keep it cool. To finish I used a small machinist file and some 800 grit sandpaper. I thought the Rough Rider suited this mod because of the double pulls. I have another RR trapper unmodified I'll get some side by side pics tomorrow :thumbsup:

Thank you Jack. Your “Little Doagie” is very cool. The butter-toffee peanuts looks wonderful.
