DO YOU........................CANOE ?

[royal0014]

'Squatch, you've been adding some nice bone to the fleet lately.
Congrats . . .

[Sasquach]

Thanks Chris. I try to keep the collection growing.

[bighomer]

Knice Charlie.

[Sasquach]

Thanks Bighomer and Gino. Like I told Chris, I try to keep increasing the fleet.

[Sasquach]

My newest addition is an oldie, used but in very good condition.

[philco]

I like that one a lot Charlie.

[Sasquach]

Thanks Phil. It cleaned up real nice, blades are about 99% full, only minor pitting on the CV carbon steel blades, bolsters aren't scarred up, and no cracks or chips in the bone. The only real issue it has is light snap on the pen blade. I'd love to find one in mint condition.........that I can afford!

Dig seeing your new accusations Charlie I think it’s cool seeing the ones you didn’t have yet
Another nice score

[Sasquach]

Thanks Gino. I just closed the deal on another one. I'll post a pic when it arrives.

Just received this Queen Joe Pardue Canoe.
Three blades on separate springs and stag handles.
More like a battleship than a canoe.

[philco]

That's a fine looking knife and it sure does look stout. Nice addition to your collection.

[bighomer]

Dang Charlie and Bruno Yawl just keep raising the bar. Beautiful knives.

Thanks guys. This one has been on my radar for a few years and I finally decided to buy it.

[Sasquach]

Good lookin' stag on that one, Bruno!

I also have a recent purchase that should arrive with the mail today. Hope to have a photo posted this evening.

Thanks Charlie,
I'm glad I added it to my collection.


How about a hint of what you have coming?

[Sasquach]

Well, my latest addition is also a Queen product and since it arrived about an hour ago....here's a pic!
(SMKW owns the Trade Mark "Colonel Coon" these days and contracted Queen to make the modern versions)

[gino]

That’s a beauty Charlie, nice snag
Love seeing your knives my friend

[philco]

Charlie that one has a real look of quality. Love it !

[bdev]

Nice one Charlie. A real nice one.

[Sasquach]

Thank you gentlemen!

Showin' 'em off to other knife-nuts is half the fun of collecting 'em!

[Edgewise]

Yeah, I canoe, on the Boker Tree river in a stag canoe.
Can you tell what kind of stag that is? It looks a bit smooth and faded.

btw, I can't figure out if I prefer a big shield covering the stag or not.

[terryl308]

EW, It's a little hard to tell what kind of antler that your Boker is made out of, but if they called it Stag, then it probably is. It might have been cut from a piece that had layed around in the wild for a while before being picked up, there fore being bleached out a little. Or it might be elk antler? Most Sambar stag was treated with Potassium Permangate before importing which makes it a darker color. Really good stag is getting harder to get all the time. Nice knife however. Terry

Edgewise,
I have the same model knife as pictured below. I was told that the handles were "European Stag" which I assume (and you know what they say about the word assume...) means Red Deer antler. I have some other European knives with similar stag handles. You've got me pondering the question now so I will be doing some research when I get time and maybe someone else will be able to confirm or deny my assumption.

I kinda' like the large banner shield. It's a point of distinguished individuality.

[bighomer]

fellers great knives.

[terryl308]

Nice bunch of canoes fellas, I have to admit that this is one I have never gotten into, but I did get one in a collection I bought a year ago but it is an import from China. It seems to be well built however with jig bone handles. It has a NAFC Ltd stamp on the tang which I believe stands for North American Fishing Club and has "America's Legacy etch on the blade. I assume this is a knife for their club meetings, don't think it will ever be highly sought after by collectors, but who knows? I've never used it but seems to be in the same category as the RR knives. Terry
