Nice red in those Boy’s Knife handles. Looks like ole Huck carried a Schrade-Walden H15 (artist liberty I assume!). OHThis boy's knife just speaks to my soul ... sometimes without saying a word

Probably the best looking of all the modern traditionals I’ve seen - the cool factor is undeniable. OH

Nice picture of your Pena Josh. Sounds like you had an interesting evening. When I was 12 I helped the local fisheries biologist shock our lake for a fish survey. Weighed and measured every fish from the smallest sunfish to the largest carp and everything in between. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven!

I am participating in the Thrifty Thursday observations today with these two unpretentious working man’s budget knives. Well, Sears did call this particular stockman a “Bowie”, which is a bit presumptious if not pretentious. And someone here may know... I cannot tell for sure who made it~Ulster, Camillus, or Schrade.
A couple of years ago, I showed another Craftsman stockman, and it was either
TheChunk91
or
SteveC
who identified it as an Ulster for me.I really should use the Sabre Daddy Barlow more often, because for a cheap knife, it’s not bad. Back when made in Japan meant cheap, that’s where the thrifty knives came from. I remember (and still have) the Sabre fish knife Grandpa bought me at Jack’s Sporting Goods in Camdenton, Missouri when I was just a kid. Mid ‘60s..,
And I really like the sawcut bone slabs. Sawcut bone slabs on a budget barlow are perfect, because they take very little production time. And even less skill and artistry. Sawcut just screams cheap budget barlow. I just mentioned that for no particular reason, I guess something made me think of it.

A wonderful Barlow.
You keep this up and you'll put Robeson back in business.
A special knife to be sure.
Those knives pair well with the Olive Bugger.
Very handy. I've often wished for the reverse. small Sheepsfoot and big fat Spear.
Nice Gunstock, GT.
I've got one with their traditional shield and jigged bone... a very well put-together knife.
Nice Bowie Knife, Jeff.

Nice Gary, that canittler and half hawk are sweet! Those are two I was never able to pick up!
Thanks John, I’ll probably be tying several of those for my short fishing trip next week. The weather forecast looks great for camping.Those knives pair well with the Olive Bugger.
Sweet pair right there!My Usual Lamb and an Imperial Barlow for Thrifty Thursday
