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

[Quick Steel]

Squatch, Looking over the canoes you have posted the last couple of months you can certainly have a strikingly colorful display of canoes. Hope you have the room to display them together. If so, how about a group shot.

Here's a shot of the Collection Corner in my home office. It's two or thee years old so the collection has grown since it was taken. I'll have to get a more recent pic.

[Quick Steel]

Please do. What you show in the photo looks impressive as heck.

Wow, that is one nice setup to display your collection. Wish I had some space to do something like that.

[Sasquach]

Thank you gentlemen!

The other walls are covered with sports and concert memorabilia. It's great until you start thinking about repainting the walls!

[bighomer]

WOW!!!!! Knice Charlie.

[Sasquach]

Thanks Big Homer!

With the Christmas Holidays almost upon us, I made a seasonal acquisition. Here's the latest addition to the collection...

[Ivoryman]

Great shot of the displays Sasquach. That's a group of knives, looks like about 200 at least.

[Sasquach]

Thanks Ivoryman! Actually, in that picture it's closer to 300, maybe a few more.

I have another new arrival fresh from the mail box!

[americanedgetech]

Love the bolsters. That is cool!

[Sasquach]

Thanks Ken. I think the shield is pretty cool too. I've been waiting for Case to get around to doing a Harley canoe. When I saw this one I snagged it.

[bighomer]

I don't have many canoes but I like'm, my latest to the accumulation .

[Sasquach]

Very nice Big Homer! I especially like that Bob White on the bottom!!!

[bighomer]

Very nice Big Homer! I especially like that Bob White on the bottom!!!

Thanks Charlie it has some issues, spider rust spots that I used lead pencil on and helped, but it's a neat little knife, half stops, good snap,supposely made by Queen. l like it.

[Sasquach]

You are correct to the best of my knowledge Big Homer, the Bob White canoe was made by Queen. I don't have a Bob White in the collection....yet. I'll remedy that issue at some point. I've seen a couple on ebay but I always seem to have too many irons already in the fire when they come around. Yours is a fine example. They're solid knives.

Nice canoes Charlie and Bighomer.

[espn77]

Just wondering, when was the first canoe pattern made?
Thanks Keith

[Sasquach]

Here again, to the best of my knowledge, the canoe pattern as we know it has been around since at least 1895 maybe longer. According to Case they have been using the canoe pattern since 1895. I don't know if anyone was using the pattern before that but I think it's a pretty good guess that Case got the idea from older knives.

Thanks Charlie. Appreciate the response

[Sasquach]

Here's another addition that arrived today. This one has seen some pocket time but CS canittlers are getting hard to find so I snagged it anyway with the original factory box and papers.

My latest buy, not here yet but on its way

[Sasquach]

Schrade Wostenholm! Very nice Gino!!

They used some fine European stag on those, I think you're gonna' like it.

[gino]

Thanks Charlie appreciate the compliment
Your collection of canoes is amazing I really enjoyed seeing them all

[Sasquach]

Thanks Gino. I have a new purchase on the way too. I'll post a pic when it gets here.
