Montana Man , that can opener is great, and some damn fine cutlery as well.
Here’s a Case that was given to me just before getting discharged. Not much of a Case guy , but this one means a bit to me.
Have a good one out there and be safe.

Steady on now!

LOL!

Very nice knife Buddy!

Marco, this was made by Schrade. The etching on the blade reads "Grand Dad's O T Barlow LTD.

Man Gary, that is one heck of a fancy barlow .
Didn't know Schrade did something like that, except for Herman Williams.

Thanks Garry! It's one nice knife, and pulls at the ole' heart strings as well!

Marco and Willy, I'm so glad you enjoy this knife. I only have a few Schrades but I recognize they made an excellent knife. If I was at the beginning of my knife collecting days I would give the brand far more attention.

Thanks, I love bottle openers, keep them at all strategic places around the homestead.

Snowing heavy here, Boker Leo-Damast V today, It is forged from cannon barrel steel from the Leopard I tank as well as tool steel, cold work steel and roller bearing steel. The opener is made of Eurofighter damascus, It is forged from steel of the cannons mounted on Eurofighter planes as well as roller bearing steel or tool steel.

Forged from cannon barrel steel from the Leopard I tank? Amazing! I love tanks and above all German tanks! I was at The German Tank Museum in Munster, Germany, a few years ago and they (of course) have a HUGE variety of the Leopard tank series. They did NOT however offer anyvBoker Leo-Damast V knives in the gift shop ....at least I did not see any.... The opener made of Eurofighter damascus is outstanding as well. Thanks for the great photos!!!

Rainy Veterans Day here in Alexandria. Since I'm off today I'm carrying a Gerber Empower auto in S30V. Made in the good ol' USA.

Slick looking knife redrider, and carrying some good steel.

Garry, that is an absolutely GORGEOUS piece of cutlery.
I really like the spring and liner work.

Happy Vets day all, especially Vets. Thanks and all the best, saluting you today.

Thank you Skip. I wish I had more info on the circumstances of its manufacture.

Beautiful knife John! I've been admiring them for awhile now, I'll have to give serious consideration into picking one up! Congrats!

Thanks, marco. They're priced very reasonably for an S30V auto, fires hard too.

NICE!!!!

Your guess as good as mine.

Just WOW Garry! I'm not a big fan of the color yellow, but on your knife it's simply outstanding! Very nice!

Looks like a nice -99, QS?

Bighomer, Skip is pretty good at guessing makers, he does well on the Mystery Knife thread.

John, Marco, redrider: Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. The photo was taken some years ago when I acquired the Barlow, but looking at it again I see it has held up its looks. Wish I could say the same.

The history of the steel certainly ups the cool factor 10-fold!

Thanks Steve

Thanks, I would love to see that museum, thanks for sharing.

Below zero start this morning, but the sun is out. This Boker in Damasteel and Massaranduba takes up little space on my hip,
