Just got this stockman in, working on my slip joint collection - 1943 KA-BAR stockman, slightly larger than a Buck 303 for reference. Custom cowboy western scales, sterling silver scroll work and I believe 10k gold monogram I didn't pay much at all for it, about the retail price of a Buck 303 on the primary market so I'm very happy with it.
New little RR Barlow knife arrived today.(Image removed from quote.)Joining the ever growing group of Rough Rider knives I own.(Image removed from quote.)

Lots of vera nice slippies Robert!
Great knife! Love those long pulls and swedges.
And my first foray into classic slip joints has started. Uh oh... I'm really having allot of fun carrying and using this knife. I'd only wish I'd gotten into them sooner. (Oh, and had a lot more money to spend on them too of course...)It's a Northwoods Michigan Jack, Denim Micarta. 1095 Carbon blade.
Thanks to the great guys in the Traditional challenge and their beautiful sowbellies, a new addtion to my collection arrived today. You know who you are... This one has pretty good F&F, with some minor liner rub on the clip and spey. I'll take that over blades rubbing together. Chestnut bone and CV is my favorite late-model Case combo.
Some beauties today (Image removed from quote.)

Is that denim Micarta as grippy as it looks in the pics? It sure looks like a great scale material for a user.
