I spent most of my life in the wheat and cow country of Montana. When I worked for the railroad I had an opportunity to transfer out to the coal line in Thunder Basin. Didn't do it and always wished I had, but that's "hind sight". Two years ago, when we had one of those "once in ten years" winters I decided to try Arizona. I got a warm climate, but it sure isn't "home". If I could find a little place up around the Sundance/Newcastle country I'd be back in a minute.
Good to hear from you. Hope you're enjoying a bit of Springtime up there.
Hi Rusty..Thank you for the comments on my knives & pictures but thre picture quality is lacking to yours. You have a very excellent group of knives posted. I noticed some muskrats. One of these days I will post some. This is one of my favorite patterns.
I just posted the price quotes from GEC for the custom black buffalo horn #36 Sunfish. I just need you to reconfirm that you still want one, or more, now that we have a firm price quote.
You can check out all the latest info I posted on the GEC Group page and let me know there.
I welcome your friendship. The pictures that I have posted are of items that I have displayed in my home office. One of these days I will post some more of my collection, the majority of which is Case. One of my favorite patterns is the "muskrat' and I have selectively added other makers muskrats to it as well as the "Scout/Utility" pattern. Needless to say I like all knives, the older ones in good shape the most. They are getting harder & harder to find, especially at a reasonable price.
Thanks for the comment on a couple of my knives. I need to work harder to get to your level of photos. All are superb and a very diverse collectioon of knives all of which are beautiful. Thanks again...Jim
Rusty,
Do they call the five-blade trapper "the Beast"? Case had a peanut out some years back called the Beast.I always intended to filework one just for fun but never got around to it.The trapper is a bigger "canvas" to work on.I will try to get some time to post pics of some of my work ASAP. The hliday has put me behind and wore me out.

One of these days I'm going to get a couple of those five-blade trappers and filework them,just to see how they turn out.I didn;t notice them in the Smoky mountain catalog.
Rusty, i noticed from your photos the wood scales like my Case knives. I also noticed you have a lot more wood Case! that are great! Nice Collection! Wellcome aboard.... This is a great forum and great people!
I use to ride Harley's, and I met some of the greatest folks... It's the same in the knife family, most all are great, honest, "home-folk"

They have and deserve a great following especially for the "exclusives".
I have more comments on my photo of the Case Easter Canoe from Shepherd Hills than I do any other knife.
Good Man!
