Nice pair!

I don't see too many #27's that are actually stamped #27. I have about five with every tang stamp from the '60s-2008 and none have pattern numbers.

QS, is that a Bulldog? Super sweet!

For Throwback Thursday I decided to go with the most recent O. Barnett Tool Co. pliers knife I picked up. It was rusty, pitted, missing part of the blade but still all intact with what I think are some sweet old jigged bone scales. Fully functional too. I did some blade re-profiling and superficial cleaning to halt the rust. Still not 100% happy with my shaping of the blade but you can always take more off, putting it back on is the hard part.

This is the first 3 line stamp I have seen personally, it has the HHH Trade Mark stamping and Patent number on the pliers/hoof pick handle. It's a HOK in my opinion.

Glad you like it David.

redrider, yes a Bulldog. I sometimes think the German Bulldog brand is one of the best kept secrets in the world of traditional knives.

Thanks, lots of fire in that pearl.

For those who follow this thread I hope it is understood that when I show a fancy knife like today's I am not actually "carrying it" in my pocket.
Rather It is a favorite getting some desk time.

My actual carry knife today is

Nice one QS!

It made me double-check my inventory, yup still got one.

OS, redrider, great desk knife and carry.

redrider, what a sweet ole HHH.

You fellas have some mighty fine steel there!

My co pilots this week are a #53 Cuban stockman, and I gave my faithful 110 a break and took the #23 beavertail for a walk. Wish they’d make the 23 with a clip point..

Steamboat, that's some great looking wood.
Crazy Canuck, love the M&G. Great looking boys knife.
Great carries Quick S, rrider, Loose Arrow, DM, gsmith.
Great scrolling through them. Keep 'em coming.

Old familiar yellar to me, Northfield 92, Schrade 893. Love the GEC bone and the Jeffinn bone.

I was thinking the same thing when I pulled it out for EDC...

I have a bunch of #7s from all years '60s-2008 as you do

and this might be the only one that is actually stamped #27

Very nice GEC-EDC, SBW

I am fond of the Beaver Shield on the #23

Some rich color in those bones. They almost glow.

Thanks! I’ve always favored the look of wood over bone, though I’ve got plenty of bone in my hoard as well. You’ve got some great patina going on that Northfield!

DM11, NICE pair!

Thanks Papa Bones, agreed. That's what drew me in. Thanks.

You too Steamboat W. Thanks.
