All About Pocket Knives

Busy day getting the pigs in the trailer for slaughter, and have a Volvo differential on the bench that needs built.

Johnny Stout drop point and a Tom Ploppert stockman. The drop point was made with a billet that Devin Thomas forged for me, Hoss's high contrast bubblwrap with a CruForge V core. Devin recently decided to retire from forging, he has been doing it since the 80's and has pioneered pattern welding steel. Devin's son, Larrin, has a PhD in Metallurgy.

Thank you. If it’s not too late you may want to consider again - nice action and well made. OH

Is that Boker a model 493 if so that's an exceptional knife. I have a true mint 493 it's still sealed in the original blister pack. I believe it to be from the 60's as it has no bar code on the package.
Here's a picture of it next to a 494 the one with a sheepsfoot main. Again these are great knives sorry for the glare.

It is a 493, made in Solingen GE, I've owned it 12 - 15 years (not sure exactly when, but I bought it at a gunshow). I believe yours was made in the USA. OH

Carried a Case 22087 jack to church, but dropped this Western Premium Stockman in my pocket for the afternoon. OH

Oh yeah Quick Steel, only a week until turkey season! Nice knife. OH

I really like the tracks Q Steel, very cool touch.

Now that's how you do lunch!

Sunday's carry is my stainless Ratcliffe and an HSB one-armed man. Dr. Lansky does great work, I see myself acquiring more user rats just to have him work his magic. I usually have a one-handed opener on me as well, so today I'm doing it the old-school way.
Caught the two spots of bolster rust in the photo, so I blasted them with a construction pencil and polished up the metal with some Simichrome. Looking good now for a liverspotted old man.

Carried this one today.

Yesir. That's the one Greg so graciously gifted me. The first gen stays put. I love to carry the 2nd gen. What beautiful bone it has as well as the first gen. Thanks for your comment.

Swapped out the old school OHO for the new school while parkin' it on the patio with a book and a boombox (or the modern version thereof - a phone and a bluetooth speaker).

Wade I did the same thing this morning for breakfast. Since the sweat season is upon us I decided to get the patina going on my dixie stockman.

I love the looks of those Dixie stockman knives.

Ditto what the Colonel said. It is an exceptionally good looking knife.

Thanks guys. It works as good as it looks.
