Re: A couple of 44s
Well, dogg, to tell you the truth, I don't really care. The round bolster might be easier to pack in a big knife, but I've learned to put up with most anything.
It's like going swimming with a girl; I don't care if she has light hair or dark hair.
I would just be glad I was going swimming with a girl.

Re: A couple of 44s
Two nice ones Joe. I really like the 44s.
And also 2 fine examples of what I consider to be true XX green bone and USA red bone. I was discussing with another member one time that if I recall correctly, he stated red bone was not made in USA era as it is not in the books. I have great respect for this member. I looked and sure enough, he was correct with a few exceptions on some transition congress or some other transition knife, at least in the books I have. I had to politely disagree with this gentlemen that I respect and the book authors also.
I believe the older CASE price list at least pre-80s, just said bone not the color. Not like today with 90 different sexy names of handle colors.
Sorry, didn't mean to detract from the beauties you posted. Nice knives! Great analogy also by the way!

That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in other's and gave the best he had.
