Pulchritude XXX Caution - Beware

[Old Savage]

If you are of the faint of heart and weak faith - turn back, turn back I tell you - you soul is in danger.

Yes for her sleek lines and gentle but exciting curves I call this one Pulchritude

The Model P in 45 Colt.

And - a Camillus Daddy Barlow

[Blaine]

I'm doomed to he!!

[Hobie]

Now that knife is OLD SCHOOL! Seriously, one hardly sees anyone bragging about one of those any more. Most folks seem to have to have some sort CQB, black synthetic, self-opening, battle knife. I like it!

Is this the “granny porn” FWiedner was referring to in the “That’s when the fight started thread”?

This is Old Savage we're talking about....Grandpa porn is more like it.....

[Chuck 100 yd]

That is some cool hardware for sure!!

[Old Savage]

It is going in the Leininger #1

[Panzercat]

Yeah... I had to look that one up.

Well knowing the current Standards I knew it was safe to open and open I did. There was a knife in the Pic ? I like the 45.
and NO it wasn't Me !

[Old Savage]

Hobie, then you will no doubt like Ps pairing with the Model 51.

[Old Savage]

Really now Blaine - being a trained and licensed professional in the state of Ca. and former college anatomy and physiology instructor it is all in the study of anatomical norms, variations and anomalies for me. It is in the interest of public education and awareness that I share the fruits of my investigation. And I have no grandchildren. Let us be correct in our use of terminology.

No animals were harmed and no one was acquitted in the transmission of this public service announcement.

Very nice OS

I only have colt clones, but have a bunch of old knives
been packing a 3 blade barlow made in USA Colonial
or a old Marble or Case or Queen or what ever


ollogger

[Old Savage]

Press on! That would be very interesting

[Old Savage]

logger, you got to get a Colt and pics of your carry knives would be good. Those and Camillus would be the center of my collection but I have some interesting others that came along.

[Hobie]

Hobie, then you will no doubt like Ps pairing with the Model 51.

I do!

[Old Savage]

logger - took me 38 years to find the Mod 51 with two almost Camilluses in between.

Boker makes one that is close.

[ollogger]

38 years to find that knife, How rare is it ???

Ill try to take some pix 0f some clones & some knives

Boots said you may help with the posting of pix thing? She has trouble with them
and im totally incapable of trying

ollogger

[Old Savage]

Tell her I can help - got it figured.

[Griff]

Hobie, then you will no doubt like Ps pairing with the Model 51.

I do!

+1

But then, I've got an almost matching set!

[Old Savage]

Pics!!!!

[Griff]

Pics!!!!

Remind me when I get home... Knife was my Dad's... the small blade is a bit worn down from his sharpening...

[Old Savage]

My first one was quite worn too but always sharp - great steel.

[gamekeeper]

I have a Camillus Barlow knife that my step daughter gave me, it's my favorite whittling knife..

[Old Savage]

gk - can you post a picture of it, they made a few versions.

[Sixgun]

I'm disappointed OS, I was expecting some T&A pics, or at the very least, a few indentations.

Is that a real gun? I'm skeered.--------------6

You did: "turnings" and "assembly"; you were expecting something else? And speaking with authority from a reliable source, as real as any others posted by yourself!

[Old Savage]

Well Six - what comes along comes along - I don't really go looking for this stuff. I am waiting for Griff to post that barlow and SAA combo.

SHOW US YOUR BARLOWS!!!!

[Griff]

Well Six - what comes along comes along - I don't really go looking for this stuff. I am waiting for Griff to post that barlow and SAA combo.

SHOW US YOUR BARLOWS!!!!

OKAY, ok, it'll be two weeks before I get home... THEN, I'll post it, ok? Reminder set in phone.

[Sixgun]

OK OS, forget the other stuff....on to Barlows.....I remember them well when I was a kid. Store counters usually had a display of them for like .99 cents...........junk. Well, they were OK if you wanted to open a beer bottle or stab a frog. Me? I'm a man of quality and I got this knife from the Gookey catalog when I was 12 years old........still have it 47 years later.----6

Old Timer, Benchmade, Colt, Uzi....quality...no Barlows here.

[Old Savage]

6 you da man -- who could argue with that? That is maybe the most eclectic gun/knife battery I have ever seen. Now, pick something "street legal" everywhere to hunt with. Better be a lever and I am going break out my only bench made and a few Old Timers to join in with.

[Sixgun]

OS,
Are you always "online"? That was a fast response to my weird picture of old and new. I knew you would like that! (took me 10 minutes to get them to balance.

For real, only joshing about the Barlows. They were very common here and were a real "meat and potatos" knife. Every kid in the neighborhood had one. I'm confused though....how did you manage to find a new one or is it something you hoarded away?

Lets see your Old Timers

Here's a pic of a levergun. OK? Its street legal for hunting but at 12 pounds, it can also be used as a club.

[Old Savage]

I finally got one on Ebay and bid a normally unreasonable amount of money to insure that I got it - the faint hearted or less motivated folded. During the time before I could get back to the office I picked up quite a few nice Case and Camillus knives. Respectable little utilitarian collection.

[Sixgun]

OS....OS......OS........YOUR GOING TO POOP WHEN YOU SEE THIS.......I'M SO EXCITED.........

ooooooohhhh, gotta catch my breath!!........Right after posting that last pic, I needed to solder something and I looked high and low for my soldering paste...............just for the heck of it, I dug through and old junk box and guess what I found????????????????????????..../...........oooooooo, I'm really getting excited now...........

A BARLOW KNIFE!!!


Thank the Good Lord (or Al Gore) for the internet and fast pictures or you would never believe it!!!!!!

I told you I have everything.



oooooooooooo.....the pictures.......... Yes....I got even more excited and dug out an old 10" Ruger to show "contemporaries".




Someone carved a "NH" on it. Do you think it once belonged to Nathanial Hawthorne?????? I'm RICH and its all because of Old Savage. Thank you,,, thank you..........6

[Old Savage]

Yo !!!!! Clearly, you are on a mission from God!

[Old Savage]

Six - gifts from recovery well wishers - one year today since the first surgeries - if you need a reason to celebrate. Shotgun is a Marlin 410 1929-1932. You know the book Gift from the daughter you barely see in the picture behind. Knives are of course - Camillus. I am thinking a man such as yourself could use these three as a complete survival kit.

[Sixgun]

OS, just got home from "making the donuts". You have been holding out on me....where did that 93/410 come from? Can I have it? I've only seen a handful of them. Maybe even more than that, the KEITH book.. Is that a first printing? I'm coming over right now to get my Marlin and my new book......and maybe a couple of indentations ----------------6

[Old Savage]

Well, let's see here Six, maybe you should drop by the office first and pick up your .357 Flat Top and your other Keith books. Now as to the ladies - that is transitory and depends on who may be there at the time - this is today. The Barlow is compliments of Pitchy. The elephant is from Nepal and the tusks are real ivory. The Sword Brand red knife came via Ebay and was made by Camillus.

[Sixgun]

Once again, just got home from making the donuts and you have amazed me once more with your secret acquisitions. Never knew you were a Keith fan. He is the reason I got into the Colt Sa's and pre-war Smiths. The Winchesters just got in the way and came home with me.

Tell me about the damascus knife. That looks to be a real work of art. These things get me much more excited than a money hungry high maintenance x chromosome thingy.

Along with the Marlin, and both Keith books, can I have the knife too?-------------6 (you can have the elephants)

[Old Savage]

Well then, Marble's damascus, a Case with buffalo horn handle, two Moras, a 30 year old Hawaiian scrimshaw letter opener and.... a mystery item for you to guess. All essential office equipment of course

[Sixgun]

ooooo, ooooooo (raising my hand) I know what the mystery item is.............well, almost.......its either a fancy paperweight or an Egyptian plumb bob.---------6

[Old Savage]

Three guesses - you get one more.

But this is the kind of filet knife they use on all the offshore boats out here - some larger than this.

[gamekeeper]

My rusty Camillus Barlow and my Marlin .32 RF.

[Old Savage]

Thanks GK, I have one of those with that blade style and no Barlow marking on the bolsters. Mine has saw cut delrin scales I believe.

[Old Savage]

Six, knowing your fondness for firearms literature



this one is a first edition, 1952

[Sixgun]

Six, knowing your fondness for firearms literature

Yes, by Keith. I read a fair amount of O'Connor and I never could warm up to him. But anyway, I'll still take his book, but only because its a first printing. Please put those books, along with the other books, knives, and the single action Colt in the same box when you ship it to me. -------------6

[Old Savage]

The 44 and the 45 or just the one Colt? The .22 New Frontier??? How about the wiped Polish Mauser with the rampant lion and all matching numbers?

[Sixgun]

No, no...forget the Polish Mauser. Not much good comes from Poland.............they can't even make ice anymore.....they lost the receipe.

Just the 44 Colt. And could you do me a favor?? As you live on the west coast, where all of that pulchritude is, how about sending me some. You can start with that little Mexican gal. Just make sure she has her green card.------------------6
