Psychedelic Pioneer pic!

Thanks. I take so many knife pics now that I have to find some way to make it more interesting!

Those all look amazing! I'm going to have to look for a chestnut Case at some point. The swayback is my favourite.

Pretty much like yesterday.

Empire Electrician ans a NYKC Barlow that I had to make a blade for. Old but good users.

Wow- really nice job making that blade!

An Empire electrician is one of that pattern that I do not have. Not that I need more
It looks like it has a slim profile like a Cattaraugus that I’ve got. Any idea how old she is?

Definitely a good spot for knife pics; your pair in this shot looks great!

What a great looking family Gary! I have the peanut, swayback, and sodbuster jr. been looking for a chestnut sowbelly in CV, I have a couple sowbelly patterns but they are event knives and I don’t use them. I would like to have one to use. If you don’t mind me asking, when did you get yours? Don’t see them around much. And, thank you for the compliment on my picture!

It's a beautiful day today. I hope I get a chance to get out and enjoy it. The camera will come with me if I do, and the Laguiole will be with me even if I don't.

Hard not to admire that camera!

I've posted this before, but here's a pic that illustrates the variability in shades among Case chestnut jigged bone examples among those that I have. (I think I have 3 other patterns now from the chestnut CV series, so it's time that I update the family photo; maybe when the weather gets warm. )

Exemplary pair of ovine blades, Jack!

Thanks Gary, I'm enjoying the pics of your Case Chestnut Jigged Bone collection

For Old Friends Friday, I'm carrying this Boker Tree Brand stockman model #7588. I've had it for several years.

Very handsome Dean, I think I have the same model in Tortoiseshell Acrylic, and it's due some pocket-time

TGIF!
New friend, old friend today.

Very cool Gary

There was another big one that I missed out on years ago--a large GEC Camp knife. Those blew right past me. I was reminded of it when I was whittling with the Kamp King yesterday evening. Made shavings in the garage, and then stepped into the dimming light to throw some sparks. The awl is perfect for that. Went with the black covers to keep with today's theme. Have a good one!

Was that Charlie's Texas Camp Knife? I remember thinking that would be too big and heavy for me to carry when it first appeared, but I always enjoy seeing the ones posted, and have certainly warmed to it Cool pics

yes, that’s it! I’d love to find one of those at a reasonable price. Between that and my small woods axe, I could get by just fine. Glad you liked the pics!

TGIF!!!

Grabbed the B&S to give the UJ a rest. I really like the blade on the B&S with the long pull and swedge though - may stick with it through the weekend.

Very appetizing microwaved shepherds pie...

TGIF!
New friend, old friend today.

Pretty much like yesterday.

Don’tcha just love reliving yesterdays?
I end up enjoying todays even more

Enjoy the weekend gents, beautiful blades

 

[Modoc ED]

I'm gonna switch up my yellow composite CV Sod Buster Jr. with this Autumn Bone SS Sod Buster Jr. today. Always enjoy having a Sod Buster Jr. in my pocket.

It's a beast isn't it? I don't know what the run was, but we don't see them often here. I think Charlie might have offered to gift me one, but I said I didn't think I'd carry it

 

[Whetstone39]

Happy Friday!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Thanks a lot JJ, I do enjoy seeing your vintage thrifties

Thanks a lot, Jack!!!

Hope everyone has had a good week Carrying TWO Old Friends today

Two Friday beauties for you today, Jack; the horn covers on your Lamb look like works of art!

I'm so feeble. I just ordered one of the Camillus near-repros of the Remington Bullet that I think Charlie's Texas was modelled on. I once had one of the original Remingtons, but the sheepsfoot was broken off, and I couldn't find one with a different blade broken, so I ended up selling it. I would have made an awful mess trying to fix it myself with a home-made blade.

I fell into the Costco trap. I don't go there often, so the bill is large, so I say, "Hey! That knife isn't so expensive compared to groceries!" While I'm at it, I might go back to Aucland for something I'm watching.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Very photogenic pair, JJ, and that triangle shield is a treat!

Thanks Gary!!!

The color variance may be somewhat exaggerated because the shot was taken in bright sunshine. I think the shot below is the same array of knives, but I moved so that my shadow fell over the knives. I don't think there's as much lightening near the bolsters in this shady shot.

Wonderful line up of Case Chestnut beauties; five very photogenic lovelies!

 

[KnifeandEasy]

I think I’m going to carry this one through the weekend.
