Barlows are perfect for county fairs.
Good jod on the sowbelly.  :tu:

Thanks Dean and Robert!  That adjustment not only helped the sheepsfoot from standing so proud, it also improved the ergonomics.  My thumbnail finds the nick so much easier--just slide it along the spine of the clip, and there she is.

That copperhead is a beaut, and it's good to see you supporting the best dealer out there, IMO!  ;)  I have my eye on that walnut trapper of his.

I didn't mention a dealer I'm surprised you recognized them.  :salute:

I'm one of those types who will post a smurfy comment when someone says a thread or post made them buy a knife. No apologizes I'm just an evil smurf.
So my question is has this thread made anyone buy a new knife?
It'll be here monday :facepalm:
Queen City Copperhead, Black Wood handle, 1095 Carbon and 3 3/4"

Two now. ::)

The Copperhead looks fabulous.  :tu:

The Schrade USA 175 came in.... I like it, very solid but dull as a butter knife. Working on the edge now.  :D

Here's a better pic of the 175 after I gave the edge a little attention. Still needs a smidge to shave.

Day 25

Here's yesterday's picture, turns out my problem yesterday was due to Firefox on Android losing permission to access my files. So here's my CV mini trapper from day 25.

Day 26

Case small Texas Jack in amber bone CV on a wet day today. Great pattern this.

I haven't bought anything because of this thread.  However, I have spent about 3 hours looking at some of these knives on sellers sites and something may be on the way soon if only I was more decisive.

Day 25
