That is a heck of a boneyard, JP! I really like the toothpick.

Re: BONES BONES BONES
Here’s a couple pics for you Q . It measures 3 and 7/8 long and a very early Camillus with Camillus stamped on the main blade. Not sure what it was called in the factory but some have called it a half or medium trapper and others refer to it as a Dogleg Jack . Either way is a favorite here and gets a little pocket time .QTCut5 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 12:41 amWow, what a fantastic group!! I am particularly drawn to the barehead pattern in the first photo on the left side next to the Scouts. with open blade pointing downwards...looks like a dogleg or perhaps a medium trapper? That one really gets my juices flowing.

You take care over there and please send some of your nice warm weather this way .
Take care

Many of us can probably ID the brands by the jigging but that wasn't the intent. Just a display of my favorite handle material. I love pearl, stag, celluloid, ebony, metal, etc.,but, for me there's nothing better than BONE. Guess I'm a BONEHEAD.J.O'.

Re: BONES BONES BONES
THANK YOU Everyone.
Gordon , the bone here has been wiped down with a weapons grade oil ,left to soak for a hour or two . Then rub excess off with clean rag . Not sure if the type of oil really matters a lot . This older bone tends to dry out and have found this to work well .
Hope you all have a great evening .
