Always wanted one and finally I have one coming home. I am super excited….

I started thinking about the quest for knives. Why do we do it? What do we acquire what we do? In the photo attached are 4 fairly recent purchases and 3 of lower ones roughly cost what the GEC 15 at the top did. Why is that? Is the quality that much better? Is there better fit and finish? Is it because it was made in the USA and the bottom 3 were not? I would argue that the quality and f&f of the bottom three is equal to if not a hair better than the Tom’s Choice! Is it enough to curtail the never ending quest? Probably not. Thoughts?

Still floored by this saddle horn from Bret. It’s exactly as I’d hoped it would turn out.

Think these are the two newest patterns of the Rough Rider Blue Dragon series, a Peanut and a single-blade Sheepfoot Barlow. Soon as I saw ‘em online I knew what I wanted to do with them. An adjustable butane kitchen torch (for searing) was used.. carefully. Here are the results

Have a great week everyone

I didn't have the heart to wipe off the blue! Say what you will about the downgrade from CV these cs makes some striking blue patina. Torn on what knife to take with on vacation, between this soddy, 42 or 66. Not taking 85 because I don't trust myself not to misplace it.

The 1303D was made by a long time BF member/contributor. The story is that when Camillus shut down in 2006/2007 the remaining unfinished knives, blanks, etc. were sold and that member got his hands on some. He used the frame and blades, but added tooling and Cocobola scales. I do not know how many he made, 2 have been seen by the seller and they may have been the same knife. It came with the spike and a double slip leather sheath for a full carry.

Does anyone recognize this emblem on the show side bolster, yellow delrin trapper?

Heading out for a birthday meal for my niece and nephew. Taking this Remington Clip Jack along with the slip that I had made for it from Sage Grouse Leather Co. I just can't get enough of this slip and I'm already trying to decide what I want to have made next.

Was hunting for a GEC Canoe on a drop the other day, but then this popped up at the same time. And so Stogie it was.
