Today mine will be a Case and a friction folder.

Beautiful bone on the Case, jtx.

A couple of Cases from 1965 to 1969. A #6318 Medium Stockman & a #6227 Small Premium Jack, both with CV & bone:

Good-looking spread there, Tom. Mind if I ask about the one on the bottom in the two middle shots?

Don't mind at all geo .

Just wish I had a better answer for ya. It's one of the best used knives I have ever bought. An eBay find. Great snap, great F&F, long pull, swedge and one of those knives that just feels like it was custom fitted to your hand. Stamped only with the words Stainless Steel. A no name..., but I really like it!

Thanks, my friend. I think it stands out.

Thanks Buddy! I appreciate it very much! Of course it just moved waaaay up on my favorites list after that comment.

And of course, it's nowhere close to your two beautiful Case knives! Awesome! Love that Jack!

David R, Your Venture has massive appeal for me. I think it is a wonderful knife.

Mighty nice old Case bones! I'm waiting for a special enough occasion to carry my '78 Trapper.

Thank you Garry. I have 2 of them and I've been thinking of giving one as a monthly give away knife. Do you think it would meet the level of quality for that?

I appreciate the question David but I may not be the right person to ask as I am lacking objectivity. But to answer, I think it has plenty of quality, a fine heritage and would make an excellent prize.

Thank you, Tom. I know how you feel about a compliment on a knife. Or when someone else is carrying one identical to one you have, yours immediately increases in value. Good feeling.

Thanks, Dan. Today might be a good day to get that thing out & enjoy it a little.

That is a beautiful, quality knife David. I'd almost hate to see you part with it via the giveaway, but I can assure you I will definitely be entering the contest that month! It will make a teriffic new addition to any collection!

Couple Pennsylvania knives.

Very nice David!! I enjoy your seeing all your postings!! You have a wonderful selection and your photos are a pleasure to view!!

Schrade USA 6OT Golden Bear. My largest Old Timer, and Schrade in general.

Another forum I'm on is doing a "Not a Buck 110 Challenge". We're supposed to carry the not-made-by-Buck large lockback or Folding Hunter of our choice for 30 days. Aside from days when I DON'T want to have a sheath on my belt (when I'll be carrying a Mercator--as my slim, clip-equipped 6OTX is currently put away), I'll be using the entire month of May to establish some thoughts about the 6OT and LB-7 variants in general. I have a close-to-new one but decided to use the user-condition 6OT I got from knifegnome during the 2021 POS Exchange. The other one I have was like new, just stored poorly and left in its sheath from 2002-2019 by the original owner. This one was used and carried by the original owner, but not much.


I'm using a Greenwood Saddlery sheath, bought used for a song. This is a custom-made, saddle shop sheath made for what I presume is either a really big multitool (my Leatherman Surge is too small!) or a specialty tool. Heavy leather, heavy stitching, and riveted AND stitched belt loop on the back. Lengthwise, it fits the 6OT like a glove, but width-wise it's too big. I used that extra space to house my Maglite Solitaire.

Thank you geo and woodwalker.

I'll do that soon: pull it out, cut some paper and paracord, maybe polish it up a bit!

Again, y'all are showing some great carriers.

Felt like an elegant Hen & Rooster warncliff whittler type of Sunday.

I'm tolerating weak springs in order to carry this nice little gunstock from L L H, Cleavland. 3 inches closed.

It has a nice description in Goin's about the owners originating in Sheffield.
Apparently it is a hardware brand starting in 1898.
Lockwood-Luetkemeyer-Henry Company.

I have no idea who made it.

Weak springs maybe. Fabulous bones for sure. Wow is all I can say FRJ. Great photo too, looks like it's floating in air.


Autumn gold smooth and golden brown jigged bone.

GEC English Whittler and a Queen City English Jack.

Beautiful Knives Everybody!
