Knives you pulled out "Just Because"

[313 Mike]

Cool knives Joe, that swing guard is a beaut!

[Madmarco]

You certainly did "find another one", Joe! That's a gorgeous swinger!

[FRJ]

Thank you so much, Mike and Marco.

It is a right handsome and tight knife.

[doglegg]

Very knice knife and Oh..... those bones.

[FRJ]

Thank you, Floyd.

I turned the bag up and this thing fell out.

[Madmarco]

That "thing" is gorgeous Joe! How do you keep finding all these unusual knives, I love lookin' at them.

[doglegg]

That is a very desirable bag!!!! Wonderful old knife.

[313 Mike]

Wow what a knife! Threaded bolsters, banana shape, great bone, and that blade with the fantastic swedge, and a clear stamp too. love it

[FRJ]

Thank you so much, guys.

I've got another bag --- somewhere.

Here's an old family heirloom knife that I pull out to admire and ponder upon once in a while. It came to me when my brother Brian died in 2000, and as near as I can figure he got it from my grandpa or one of our uncles or great uncles.. The tang stamp dates it from 1917-1946. It's obviously got some stories to tell, unfortunately I don't know what they are, which is why I like to pull it out and ponder..

Nice ol Shrade Walden Mike. It’s nice to have a family piece like that to pull out and remember all the good times and stories you do know. That’s a keepsake for sure!!

That is a real treasure there, Mike.
One to be held at all cost.

[FRJ]

Well, keeping with the theme of this nice thread I thought of another knife I haven't handled in quite some time so I drug it out and thought you all might enjoy seeing it too.

A honkin' old KA-BAR.

[Madmarco]

I definitely enjoy seeing it too Joe. That's a beautiful honkin' old KA-BAR! Is it possible to love and hate a color at the same time, cuz that's what I'm doin'?

[313 Mike]

I like that one too, Joe. Nice and thin
, and all that jimping on the spine! Also the nail pull is forward a bit which must make it easier to open. And I kinda like the color! Almost like a creamsicle... the Creamsicle Kabar.

[Madmarco]

Well, when you put it that way Mike, I guess Creamsicle ain't so bad.

[FRJ]

I can certainly understand that feeling about the color. It sure isn't for every one and especially on a knife. On a Honkin' knife at that.
I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it.

I'm glad you like it, Mike. I like big thin knives like this. Thin goes a long ways in the pocket.
Now I want a Creamsicle.

Nothing as comforting in the wilderness as Filson tin cloth coat on your back and a Herder sodbuster in your pocket

A joy to look at all these knives. I pull out these 2 Queen Trappers every once in a while.

[313 Mike]

XLIV that Herder is a really classic looking knife. Looks beautifully aged.
Woodwalker those Trappers are really unique! You must have had those rehandled, eh? What are the materials, and if it's not too much trouble I'd love to see what the other sides look like...

Nice coat, nice knife, to AAPK, 44!

Gorgeous covers on your 2 Queens, WW, and not just "once in a while", always!

[FRJ]

Welcome here, 44.

Nice looking Queens, woodwalker.

Here is Whaler I haven't seen in a few years.
It was nice to be reacquainted with it again.

Thanks Mike. The Queens came like that. No rehandle. The one is purple spiny oyster and the other is woolly mammoth tooth from Santa Fe Stoneworks. In my basement light the scales look kinda gray in the photo I just took, but they have blue shades to them that I cant get to photo tonight for some reason. Here are the other sides as per your request.

Thanks Joe! That's a beauty you showed as well! Actually all of your knives are beauties!!
