That is calendar worthy Eric.

The Stockman in the grapevine is very cool, New Windsor.

Eric - that Ulster is one fine knife!! I think your photo has more patina in it than any other photo ever posted here!!!

Thanks guys! The blade patina matches so well it must have come from the same era

Thank you. It's not a grapevine, it's a Manzanita Tree/Shrub. I have about 10 of these on my property, with new ones sprouting up everywhere. Those things that look like grapes are supposedly edible and taste like honey. I have not tried one yet and I don't believe I ever will. Except maybe in a survival situation. Here are pictures of 3 of the trees/shrubs.

You know, looking a the photos again I can see that the leaves are nothing at all like grape leaves. With you being in California and the fruit looking like grapes, I just thought grapes. Thank you for the clarification.

Knice combination Jtx. The walking liberty has always been one of my favorite coins, even found a few back when I was metal detecting. And those two knives do nothing to disrupt the beauty.

Nice pair and the pic really captures the detail in the jigged bones.

Very familiar flora! Where I grew up if you were out camping and built a campfire your wood sources were pretty much restricted to palo verde, mesquite, manzanita, and tumbleweeds. The saguaro leaves a woody "skeleton" when they die but it burns too fast. It was cattle country so you always had the occasional cow cookie too. See? Now ya made me homesick.

This is an older pic that I posted on the EDC thread.

I like the tooling on your belt Squatch.

Yes between the knives and all those keys a fella needs a sturdy belt. Cool pic Charlie.

I like the belt and buckle, Charlie. Nice load out for that belt!

This is not a knife picture, but it’s the refinished “Jeweler’s Cabinet” that I just completed for storing some of my knives. It was in bad shape and stored in the back of a country barn.

Refinished the wood with “Howard’s Restore & Finish”; cleaned and polished the brass latch and hingers; cleaned all porcelain drawer pulls; added the brass label holders; added royal blue felt to each drawers.

That is a wonderful restoration David. Beautiful work.
