These old Queens with the real Winterbottom handles always bring me a smile.

Beautiful old winterbottom bone handles!
A hefty old Queen!

Saturday, May 2nd, Single Blades.

Here's a Case; 61048SP.

Happy Saturday!

FRJ that’s a good looking Case indeed

Here's one for Single Blade Saturday that I just picked up from Bill.

I started out very partial to the stockman pattern, but lately have been gravitating more toward single blade knives. Here are a couple that I have re-handled, which were originally 2-blade patterns. I like their simplicity.

Also, it seems that, with a two-blade jack knife, it's most often the smaller blade that gets broken. Wonder why?

I tend to prefer single blade knives and most of the knives in my collection reflect that preference. Like Brent's knives, here's one that originally had multiple blades but was modified to a single blade knife.

Great Single Blade Show all!

One more that I just finished about 30 minutes ago. An old LF&C that had a broken secondary, so I made it into a single blade. The wood has some nice reddish sub-tones in the sunlight...

You guys are putting on a great show with some fine knives and fine skills.

NEXT!!

Some NICE knives, Joe, redrider, Brent, Q and Kevin!

Nice work, Brent. It could be Rosewood.

Great Case to start the day, Joe.

Redrider - that Presto has nice clean lines.

Brent - very good work saving those old knives with a broken blade. All three look like good EDC knives.

Beautiful modified Queen City, Q.

Kevin - I like the color on the bone on that Colonel Coon.

I do not have a lot of single blade knives. Here is a nice Case that I found while looking for a property corner marker with a metal detector. It is still fully functional. I have used it just for the heck of it. It is kind of serrated now.

You found a treasure, Mel.

Here’s one I picked up recently. A Bear & Son Barlow. Normally their fit and finish is lousy but this one is great. Great knife for about $50

A beauty of a knife there with a great blade.

Looks awesome, and a Derby inspired picture.

Thanks FRJ and redrider

Good morning to all you Single Blade Saturday contributors.

That knife has nice clean lines, Joe.

Here is an Old Bear friction knife: no springs but it does have a locking ring.

Thanks Mel.
Good looking pruner you have there.

Showing a Challenge single blade for this Saturday.

Good day to you.

A nice old Challenge with the classic long pull, and a good day to you.
