Feeling “Blue”

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Wow, some really nice knives being posted.
John, is that a Bark River? I have seen that handle on BR knives before.
Q, I love that stag and blue scroll is one of my favorites
Ivoryman, wow on all accounts. The Northwoods are all beautiful but that Case Abalone whittler is over the top.

A few blue

Man! That's a beautiful batch of blue!!

[Quick Steel]

Ditto what Mark said Iman. Almost never do I see abalone well captured in a photo. But you did it. Congrats. I sometimes think of the divers off the California coast who gather abalone, if it is still allowed. Where they dive is also enjoyed by Great Whites. That alone makes abalone extra valuable to me.

Yes it is. Trailmate.

Thought I would revive this old thread. Got in the beautiful Henckels Trapper last week. Love pin feather jigging, especially on blue bone.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Here is a bent Barlow by Kabar that I got in a few weeks ago. It’s already sold and delivered.

Also is a picture that makes me blue thinking about the guy on the ground floor.

Great looking knives Mark!

[Quick Steel]

Great color on both knives. Love the pin feather jigging.

I wish one of our talented members would put together photos of as many types of jigging as possible, then connect them with their proper, or common, name.

Very nice Mark!!
John

[Madmarco]

Great idea QS! In the "Research" section IMO.

And some other talented member could add the Case 2020 Stamp to the W.R. Case & Sons pocket knife age identification page in the "Research" section.

Good thing I'm not talented.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Thank you all. That’s a good idea Garry. I will look at my photo’s and see if there are some I could assemble together in a thread. I know there would be some disagreements about what some jigging is called. I see a lot of people use “pick bone jigged” to describe just about everything.
Case has probably the best jigging on bone in the industry. I am always amazed at the coloring and jigging that is on so many Case knives, they truly have mastered the art.
I know I have favorites like the pin feather jigged bone on the Henckels above and rope jigging like on the Kabar, in addition to liking those I am really wild about Barnboard jigged bone, sawcut jigged bone and Rogers jigging. I know I would enjoy just looking at a thread with all those in it.

I love blue handled knives and you guys have been showing some real blue beauties.

This Hen & Rooster 212BL is the only H&R in my collection that's not stag.

[Eye Brand Man]

This is my favorite blue knife in my collection. 4” Boker Solingen Stockman. The bone has such deep rich color with an almost translucent quality like hard candy!

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Q that H&R is really nice. I have a Sowbelly Stockman with the same handles and it’s killer.
Eye Brand, that blue on that Boker is rich looking. It seems that some blue bone can just have that deep rich coloration, and that one has it.

That's Eye Candy there! Very nice looking knife!

[1967redrider]

How about some blue rope jigged bone Schrade made and Canal Street/Red Trout used?

[Quick Steel]

redrider, those are two very fine looking knives nicely displayed.

[knife7knut]

A few more,"blues"
#1 a set of Fruit knives made of DuPont Lucite in blue.
#2 A Cattaraugus floating fish knife originally painted in blue.
#3 A Thornton equal end pen knife in "sorta blue"
#4 A money clip knife with "blue" lettering.

Thanks, QS!



Nice additions, Ray.

[jerryd6818]

A couple more.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

That Alox is particularly nice Jerry. Can’t beat the patriotic, especially this time of year.

Redrider those two together look great. I have that Red Trout knife, but I keep getting outbid every time one of those Kabar’s comes up for sale. Blue Rope jigged is one of my favorites.
K7K, what an eclectic assortment of knives. I haven’t seen those Dupont fruit knives before, very interesting.

[edge213]

This thread has shown some really nice knives.
I really like the ones in blue bone.

[Dan In MI]

A couple more.

Two very choice SAKs, Jerry. I have a Spartan with the American flag scales, but have never seen a Camper with them!

Man those are both sweet looking knives John!
