Couple of beautiful chestnut jigged bone Cases, Shane!Been awhile! Some really nice blades on here lately so wanted to share. I couldn’t decide between these two so just carried them both.View attachment 1360909
Very nice bunch of Case Chestnut Jigged examples Gary!![]()
Impressive selection of Case knives, Gary.![]()
Excellent group shot my friend, nice to see the comparison![]()
Thanks, GT, and your Chestnut Cases look red hot.
Those are beautiful examples, GT.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone.Thank you, Gary! Beautiful chestnut jigged Case knives you have there.![]()
Thanks for the correction, Vince.No, Gary, the mini Blackhorn is 1/8 inch longer and has a long pull instead of a nail nick. It's just called a "lockback" in the Case catalogue. I think mine is a copy of a Gerber lockback I used to own. Got it for $12 at a feed store. Great little knives. Only carry now for trips to the beach or on a bike ride, though.
Notable pair of desirable big knives!
Thanks, JJ. Is your Alox a Farmer? What color is it? Makes a stunning pair with that Pocket Carver!Great foursome today Gary; I am so taken with your electrician that I had to grab an Alox of my own!![]()
I'm adding it to my list, too!...
I didn't know they did the farmer x . Which is a shame really as I was torn between the farmer and the Pioneer x . If I had known about the farmer x I would of preferred that that one . So thanks for that Gary that's another one to my list.
Yowza, that cougar-clawed Churchill is a champ!
You're back in the saddle again with that pair, John!That's why I enjoy these cheap knives so much. First, it reminds me of watching the Lone Ranger on TV and Gene Autry at the movies. Also, these cheap knives are what I started buying when I was a kid because it was all I could afford. Great memories... Simpler times.![]()
Great pairing, Jack; that Joker is a joy-inducer!...
Late posting today, as I went out early. Had my Hartshead Barlow with me today, and a Thrifty Thursday Joker![]()
...
That scout makes me wanna shout, Tom!
Thanks, Stuart.You've done well by it, GT. It looks great.
Cut thin to win with that pair, Stuart!Throwback Thursday, right?

For me, that's probably one of the most distinctive, recognizable knives on The Porch, Dean!!
Unforgettable photo, José!
Thanks for the additional info, Jon.
Thanks, Harvey.Very elegant, GT.
Thanks Gary; it's a great "one blade option!"
Excellent foursome today; I always enjoy viewing your fantastic IXL canoe!![]()
Thanks, JJ & Jack.Interesting quartet, particularly the Schrade-Wostenholm CanoeColourful patina forming on that RR carbon steel

Imperial Navy Utility and a Camillus #70 Cattle knife

I have a rich fantasy life, and sometimes imagine that BF members show me a pair of knives and say, "Which ONE would you like more?" But I get paralyzed by pairs like Steve's and JJ's because I can't decide which member of the pair is more desirable in either case!
Morning folks, hope everyone is looking forward to the weekendCarrying a large ebony Lambsfoot today, and an Old Friend in the form of a Texas Jack

Beautiful stag Harry! Happy Father’s Day my friend!:Thumbsup:
Thanks, Gary. Gift from @Âchillepattada. It's called a "Langres", from where it comes from. Not strictly a sheepsfoot, though--there is some belly in the blade. Great to use in the kitchen.That French stag sheepsfoot by Thomachot you posted is distinctive!!![]()
Thanks, Gary. I just might carry it again tomorrow.Dignified and dramatic!!![]()
Nice. You don't see many of those Little Bays in the denim. That's a keeper!

Thank you very kindly, Harvey!!!Many thanks, JJ. Nice lighting, especially on the metal. Sweet pair of Cases. They’re Aces!
Three very tasty treats for your Father's day; the first two made me hungry and the third, your CJ, just makes me drool!Mine started with a visit, and to pick up -a just out of the oven- raisin Sourdough loaf.

And some cupcakes, also from the oven. Nothing says loving like fresh from the oven.

Love seeing the variety in those Case Chestnut Jigged Bone knives. I’m glad you’re still enjoy that beautiful Sowbelly my friend! As always I appreciate the compliment on my carries!Thanks for the kind words, everyone.I'm grateful to Ron that one of those Cases came to me from him, and two others were also generous gifts from "pillars of The Porch" in my early days at BF. I should update my group shot to include a teardrop, a medium stockman, and a muskrat from that series that I've purchased since taking the old photo I recently posted.
That's a good habit to have, Ron!![]()
Thanks, it was a good one my friend!Thank you very much Ron . I hope that you had as good a Father's Day as I did .
