Hey Dog, nice knife! No, seriously folks. It really is a nice knife.

Owd Wullie: That is one NICE looking knife! Great job with the camera; you really caught the character of the bone handles.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the knife lying on?

Thanks,

That "thing" it's on is called a septarian nodule.
Here's a pic of the whole thing with some other junk stacked on it.


I found it in the channel of Bear Creek which runs through DFW airport. I used to fish in that creek until my employer, TXDOT, screwed it up by channelizing it. The bastards. LOL

I'll have to wait til we get a BIG rain and it undoes everything they did to it before it'll be worth fishing in it again.

Being of a curious nature, I Googled "septarian nodule". Also called "concretions" they come in sizes so small you need a magnifying glass to see them, all the way up to 10' across. Some, as seen here https://www.google.com/search?q=septari ... 0gG4qJG2BA , are quite beautiful.

AAPK is a compendium of unintended education. Thanks for the chicken ride, Willie.

I thought it was a fossilized sand bar stag turd when I saw it laying on a sand bar.

I had three that were complete, but two of them have gotten broken. They are kind of fragile it seems.

Schrade Walden. Sorry no tang stamp pic.

What's the pointy hole-maker thing called on this knife, and do you find it useful
rather than a smaller pen blade? I suppose it was used to make holes in leather harnesses but
since we don't use harnesses much nowadays, what do you guys use it for?

They are called a leather punch. The only use I have for them is to add holes to my belt.

HEY!!!!!!!!
I finally got a reason to buy a harness jack.
Now to look for a four line Camillus.
I like the new GEC equal end ones though. Camillus probably have different handles.
Thanks, Edgy.

GEC has come out with a Teardrop Pattern. similar to this;

That's what I thought when I saw it,lovely bone on an H Boker pattern I have not seen much of. I suspect it is somewhat obscure,except for Charlie C.Of course you know I have blinders on most of the time.

Thanks guys!

I could see myself LUSTING after that one

Nice knife Mike. I spotted one of those on ebay a few years ago and inquired about it with AAPK member "Upnorth", the harness jack guru, who told me it was made by Case.

Nice knife MikeB!

Thanks guys, the Case pattern # for this one is 62074 1/2 , according to Upnorth GEC 66 frame is identical in size

Mike

Pretty color bone on that Clauss Mike,nice.
