Comfort Knives!

[Corn Creek Cutlery]

Fell from the sky like but is Comfort now. Many thanks again IvoryMan
HaH! ... page 150!

[GSPTOPDOG]

Well said T-Dog! Queens and Robesons are royalty!

You know it CxIII ....

That is such a great picture and a beautiful Western ... it gives me a lot of comfort just admiring it

Here is my comfort for the day;

Nice Barlow T-Dog ... reminds me of the Drake Well IvoryMan bombed me last year!

ohhh that Drake Well Barlow is a good one!!! I have been there, to see the old Drake Well in P.A. it is near Titusville (my mom was from there) where the old Queen factory was located. (I also went to the factory and bought a few Queens out of the factory store in 2014).

Thanks for your input, B-H, this one from QCC has a s/g but no bottom bolster. I actually have the exact knife you described, but I removed the s/g, although, I can't post it cuz I can't find it! also have this Robeson that seems identical in every way except color, no lock-back, and a different shield.

M&M you are on a roll with the Queens!!! Looking good and the Robeson to boot!!! *

*Note: CKT is approaching page #150 !!! ... How is that even possible????

Thank you, bud, my Queen's came out because of what B-H had posted about a certain S & M model, and I wanted to show him the picture. I haven't scrutinized my accumulation in awhile, but as I started going through it again now I realize I have some great knives and wanted to show them to ya'll.
I guess this thread has progressed to 150 pages because some of us like the topic, who knows.

Moving toward page 150, I would like to contribute one posted before, but not in this thread.

I remember when you posted this gorgeous knife, Tony, the Royal Flush is what caught my eye.

It's a mystery to me Marco ....

Comfy up to this little beauty, guys!
8)WIN_20250111_13_59_27_Pro.jpgWIN_20250111_14_01_37_Pro.jpgMy 8 1/4" S & M single blade lock-back!
Warm brown jigged bone covers, NS hardware, brass liners, NS shield.
Nice 4 oz. weight and came sharp.
Walks open silky smooth with a snappy talk.
This baby feels reaaaaly good in your hand.
Would someone please tell me what this model is called, hunter, trapper, etc.? Thx!
Are we comfy yet?

Marco I did not know you were into traditionals but you have thrown down some beauties lately! I used to only buy modern knives but I think Ivoryman has won me over with his GEC beauties.

Thanks a bunch, Rick, and with all my talk about autos it's not surprising you would think that, but of the 500 or so knives in my possession 65 are automatics, about 25 are fixed blades, and the remaining 400 or so are old and new, usual and unusual folders. Mark/SSk got me interested in Mcusta's and Moki's, and while doing business with him I couldn't help but to notice and purchase quite a few of the listings in his store, and you know that spans a big selection. I pretty much appreciate anything of beauty, and there are some beautiful knives out there. I have only 1 GEC model and that number is unlikely to change due to their high cost, but they sure make some fabulous knives.
It's good to have you posting here, buddy!

Hmmm maybe the big draw to the CKT is actually good 'Ol Zeus?

Look! A knife!

This must be what Marco feels like. Walking around my house looking out into the cold I'd rather not walk out into, with an unnecessarily large knife in my pocket.

My glasses were the only thing nearby I could use for scale. Too bad they're nerd glasses and not

Here is my comfort for the day;

A looker GSP..... I prefer the spear point on barlows.

Don't worry, I suspect you are not alone on the AAPK site ....

Well, you sortta got my routine, Zach, but the knife is all wrong.
I have this one with me when I'm feeling badly!

This one when I'm feeling good!

And for when I can't decide!

My hand was the only thing nearby I could use for scale! Too bad it's a nerd hand and not !

At first, I thought you were using a "shrunken-hand-model" (see "Hand-model" post)... then I noticed that it appears that your giant knife is NOT the work of photo-shop or using a tiny hand to make the knife appear bigger... ... and that leads to my next point: That knife is insane!!!

I don't think my tiny hand could hold the big one, let alone it and it's little brother simultaneously

Are those frost by chance? Looks kinda like frost wood

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

Love me some Frost Wood. I keep this guy near by, I think it's over the top and awesome.

Well, I don't have any shrunken hands nearby at the moment, I have no idea what "photo-shop" is, so it must be me!
Yep, she's a monster all right, 17 1/2" open! And the only hands you will see in my pictures are mine!

To be totally honest, Zach, I have fairly big hands and even with them it's quite a feat juggling around 2 cumbersome knives with only 1 of them.
And you used the correct term, "little brother" cuz other than size the 2 are identical, even though the small knife is from Rite Edge and the larger knife from Timberline.
Those covers are black/white swirled Pakkawood, on both knives!
