Go for it Craig!

I used to be sort of a two-blade kinda guy. But then I decided it was cool to have three different blades in what is the same size frame as the two blade version. But I'm not adverse to a two blader. 

Let's see, going by your posts, you're a bone head half whit? 

Is that all you can say all the time; "Go for it Craig!"? You're not helping my condition. 

Bone head half whit....Have you been talking to my wife?  LOL

Let's try this one....You should get that Craig!   Mwa-ha-ha

No, you're wife doesn't say anything that nice about you.

Hey, Cass just told me she got another bonus from work. She said she will buy a knife of my (and her) choosing for me. Hmmm.......

I hear pearl is the in-thing this season...

I showed her the Snow Leopard Jasper. She likes. We'll see.

Good luck!

Snow Leopard is nice but this is my favorite! Purple Spiney Oyster

Them's purty.

Wow, those ARE......uh.....wow. Hmmm, I really like that Snow Leopard......but the Purple Oyster is really nice too. 

Saaay, do you have to live in Texas to get a toothpick?  These are two nice ones, Max.

Ok since Cass is half of the deciding factor, it's the Snow Leopard. I love those pearl strips in it.  The Purple Spiny Oyster will have to wait until......sometime.....maybe next month?

 I would like a 4047P Jigged Buffalo Horn!!!

Max ......   those are Knife jewelry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wonderful

Got a book for Father's Day.......

Very Nice Craig!

Headed to the Event today.  Hoping to meet everyone.  This is going to be FUN!

Hahahaha.  Craig, throw the book away.  If you ever watch "Antiques Road Show" you have seen some of the ugliest stuff go for big money.  The reason is, it was ugly back then as it is today and few were sold back then so it is rare today.

A fella shouldn't be collectin ugly stuff just cause it's valuable.  Of course, it could be that Case never made any ugly knives; or ugly, like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Welcome to Presidents day

Knives everywhere.

Wish I could be there!

Well some are here, but I agree wish you were all with us I just had a chance to meet Max wife.  Tell me how you got such a nice lady buddy!

Something for everyone!

The roundtable for the CCC was so much fun

Yeah, wish I could be there!

Looks like a good time.

All of my Stockmans.......so far (Please excuse the fuzzy hand held pictures)

Nice collection Craig.

Nice, Craig!

Thanks! :)

Excellent collection of Stockmans, Craig.

Thanks, I appreciate it! 

Got another 33 Small Stockman to add! Will take pictures of it soon. 

Pictures!

Well the turn out at SMKW Presidents day was spectacular.  It was great to see so many young folks there.  The day started with a boy scout troop and those young boys were having FUN!  They were looking at pocket knives a lot like we do LOL, with stars in their eyes.

A great morning of meeting folks, was followed by some great visiting time.  You know it never ceases to amaze me that so many people in the knife world recognize the need for bringing the next 2 or 3 generations into our hobby.  This company was started by a dad making a Christmas present for his son, something they could do together.  A few short months later he was unemployed and looking for a way to make some money to support his family so he began to produce them.  This year they introduced a trapper pattern in a numbered version, and  short run off 100 in the numbered series.  For the Parents and Grandparents among us...I encourage you to get a few of these.  Spend some fun time with your loved ones building one and teaching how a knife is built and I think it is a great way to start the safety conversation.

I have a video of the presidents drawing the knife of day winner and I will place it here.  Just cant upload it here on this tiny laptop.  But congratulations to Goose for being the winner of the day

My day at SMKW ended with some time with the Case Collectors Club.  Up to this point I had had such a fantastic day I could not imagine it getting any better, but it certainly did.  This quickly became the highlight as I watched the roundtable and the fun they had in listening to Lisa Bosier-Miller tell a story as they passed their knives to right or left based on words in the story.  Then this generous, knife loving group of folks came out to the museum and proceeded to donate glass panels for the museum displays in memory of their loved one and friends gone.    Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.  Not just on behalf of the museum but from a lady that is more proud today than ever to belong to such a group

Agreed! That was a great video showing the kits. Steve, I know SMKW recently showed 5 different kits or you could buy all 5 at a savings. Can't remember if they had a Stockman. We need more things like this for the kids to get interested and involved in knife collecting and making.

Good stuff. Wish I could have been there. A wood Stockman kit would be great!

Those kits are cool.  I have a mini Trapper.

There's quite a few places selling them. I just googled "wooden pocket knife kits"

Those are neat.  When I go to SMKW in July, I think I will get a couple.
