I think the green bone(at least on my screen)is extra special Garry, another nice one!

Two real beauties 63, and you'll remember your Dad every time you look at them! Happy B-Day BTW!

Thank you for your observations woodwalker and Marco. And I like the brown coloring/patina on your Barlow, woodwalker. In fact, Marco, it was the green that first drew me to this when I bought it and again today. Thus you are right. It is sort of special.

My Emerson Tactical Folder, a very solid piece that holds a good edge.

Love that ACSB! Wish Bill Howard would use some on the GEC's.

Nice! I have an early Mini CQC-7 that I'm going to pay to have reworked. I bought it for something like $30, thought it was fake, stuck it in a drawer, and one day emailed Emerson, who confirmed it was real. It's really beat up. All the Phillips screws were stripped, and the blade was rough. Emerson charges a lot to redo knives, but I think I'll have something pretty decent once they're done.

Thank you Trace. I'd buy that.

The 890 is a good one. Love the peach seed bone!

Lovely composition there geo. David referred to the jigging as peach seed. Is that your understanding as well?

Ulster Scout knife.

Remington (by Camillus) Stockman and a Czech-made Mikov Praktik model, which is a sort of take/copy on the Vic 111mm series, but with better ergonomics (contoured scales, while the Vic are flat), and less fragile steel liners. Somewhat worse blade steel, given it's simple 420SS. The lion is just foil stamped, so I had to use some clear Gorilla tape to protect it. At $18, it's considerably less than a Vic, but equal quality. And, not made in China.

Quick Steel, that's what I think it is.

These two Bokers are with me this morning, about to head out and run the snowblower.

I can't help but agree. And what. a dramatic answer. Unarguable.

That is a great find! I love finding really good knives on the cheap that are already a little beaten up. I hate to be the one to put the first
scratch on a new knife The CQC-7 series are outstanding knives, I have a buddy that has one from the1990's and has carried everyday since then (he is a "one knife guy") and uses it for all types of tasks. That knife is as solid today as it was new, so they are very well built knives indeed.

Good looking pair, bet they were very reasonably priced when new back in the 70s. Know who made them for Sears? Looks like Schrade to me.


Woodwalker, that one is pretty good looking as well. Love the saw cut bones from back then.

Thanks, Ivoryman! Yes, I think the Lumberjack is Schrade but perhaps the stock knife is Camillus. I need confirmation on that, though.

Awesome carries everyone, and especially love you Schrades Iman, and your picture Geo. Mighty lovely folks .

Going with the clasp/cattle, new/old combo. Surprisingly, the big ole boy hangs out in me pants pocket very well, other then when I play my acoustic guitars.
Ole Imperial is, just ole reliable .

Like your equal end cattle knife, looks really old school. Could have that in my pocket everyday.

Stockman and a Barlow

Willy, Who made the red rifle knife?
