Nice!!

Howsabout a pic of that ax over here ---> https://allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_ ... 21&t=61988

I snapped a shot and posted it for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to some arthritis and a lingering injury to my left hand, I don't play as much (or as well) as I used to. After the party yesterday my left hand and fingers are stiff and sore....but we had a great time and the music was fantastic.

"Sounds" great Sas!

Spent the day shooting and visiting my sons wife to be farm I thought a sod buster and peanut in yeller would be appropriate for the tour a little basketball in the hay barn,the veal was getting ready to process

I'm doin' golden oldies today...

I just inherited my first, (not shell handled) Barlow. I believe it is a Remington RB44 and based on the tang stamp of the master blade I believe it is in the 1933-1935 range. Please correct me if I am wrong.

These knives were once shiny and bold
Now they're rusty, thin and old
They did their service with Nary a complaint
From slicing an apple to scraping paint
They should be retired to the drawer to rest
But at big homer's house they're put to the test.

Nice poetry and knives bighomer.

Came home from 5 days of camping to find my new GEC #29 grits with butter and molasses knife delivered. First acrylic scaled knife for me, like the pattern and warming up to the knife. Carried it with an old bone handled Remington that still snaps like new.

And the hat is not bad either!

Camillus 72 and BRK Essential

Nice looking pair, there, David!

Good looking old Remington, Greg. I like it. And same for your #72 David.

A couple of Queens that I think look like they were made to go together. The Barlow was made in the DFC days, 2012-2018, the Toothpick, before that. 'Bought all I know.

Today, Tobacco Bone Rough Rider Cotton Sampler. Sharp out of the box, but after a light touch up with a strop, razor sharp. Really nice little knife, and a fantastic skinner.

David is that one of the elusive black bone 72's? The jigging sure looks like it. But don't get your expectations us as I'm no expert.

Maybe from the mid 1990s? (I know less than doglegg, though.) Sure looks nice anyway.

Per Jerry, they put out 3 in the 90's, 1 the anniversary knife with ducks flying, one the ole smoky and then one unmarked, all with black bone handles. The jigging on that one looks like that on the bone ones issued. A very elusive and desirable knife, maybe Jerry will be along and comment.

Thanks for the pic. N W NY. Having looked at it and the anniversary model the jigging seeming to be a little different that the standard Delrin handles. Or it might be my imagination. I have the Ole Smoky and Anniversary one but not the plain one. Here is a pic of the anniversary model.

I saw a duck version on eBay but the seller wanted almost $300. I'm crazy, not insane. I'm still looking for that one and the plain one. I'm glad you have the duck version.

I started looking for a Camillus 72 just last fall after readying so many good things about it here on AAPK (thanks). I wanted bone & at the time didn't realize this one was rather uncommon. Don't understand why, but I got it for $42.35 on ebay. I feel like I just lucked up.
