Twilight, with dark clouds rolling in. Much better in person.

Very nice picture, Chris.

Thank you, Floyd.

The turtles have finally come up from the depths at the pond I visit daily.
It's always a pleasure to see them in the spring.
Is there a better life among the animals than the turtles?

I don't know what this little guy is.
He was in a nice environment.

He might be related to this guy.

Here's a Red Wing Blackbird. Love that beak.

Here's a nesting Canada goose.

It's posts like this that help me reinforce my belief that New York Knife Co. was, in my mind, the finest knife manufacture in the country.
Barry, you must have an amazing collection. It's a pleasure to view these knives.

Seriously, that knife is great.

So true, Wade.

Thank you so much, guys, for the nice comments.

Good looking knives, David.

Boker 3588, 3 7/16" closed. Delrin covers and missing shield as usual. I bought this knife at a flea market today for cheap. This and two trashy knives for 2 dollars. Missing shield: I punched out a leather radius and stamped my initials in it and epoxied it in the void. I won't be surprised if...

Nice job on that marking knife, Reverand. If they're pretty that's a plus but they need to be effective and handy. Oh that poor carpenter pencil! If you put a chisel edge, on both sides, along the wide of the lead, to a sharp point, it will give you the sweetest fine line and long lasting fine line ...

A very nice congress, Ike.

Good show!

I never thought of them as needing a particularly sharp edge but sharp enough to remove ink from vellum.
I have a few that have been sharpened to a keen edge but I thought the previous owner thought they were for purposes of a fleam or some other odd use.Surgeons scalpel; cigar cutting.

Does anybody have one of these? It was my grandfather’s knife. I can get it repaired/restored for around $100. Not sure if I want to do that or buy one like it. If you get your grandfathers knife repaired it will never be the same or, in my opinion, any better. What ever it is. You don't show a mod...

Looking forward to the eclipse here in Connecticut. 3:30ish.

Where's Bob Hope and Bing Crosby when you need them?

Nice U.S.A. made Clauss.

It is definitely a Rigid, but I would not have guessed that it was made by Case until seeing these replies.

I agree, Reverand, I would not have made that connection either.

I'm going with "Rigid".

What a beautiful old knife that is.

Good for you, Ike.

There are bells and whistles all over the thing.

FRJ: A belated comment on the knives you pictured above: You definitely have the right tools for the job, and I appreciate hearing of your favorites and why. Let's face it: These knives of ours are generally not "safe queens"; they are the knives we revel in using. They do, however, have ...

Another Camillus related knife from New York City.
Sorely used and sharpened but will probably cut string.
Thanks for posting, GringoBombero.

Great working knives you have there, Dan.

By 1994 Frank Buster "Cuz" had built over 300 different three blade "Stockman" knives with various handle materials, measuring 3-¾". I have many Fight'n Rooster knives, mostly in the stockman pattern pictured below. Most of my Roosters were obtained in the early 1980s throu...
