Well, I'm extremely late to the party but claim that I was trying to find our camera - which I haven't, and seem to have been too distracted elsewhere to pull my finger out & get these done.
So here's some low quality pic's taken with my iphone. I hope the attempt at 'photo dressing' makes up for the poor quality of the photo's.
As it happened, my Dad had sent me over the John Wayne DVD's & they arrived the same week as the forum knives. Seemed a suitable background to me.
The Case Congress in the last pic is a 6408-2 (I think, my eyes are tired) pattern gifted to me about the same time by an extremely generous forum member. I choose not to potentially embarras him by naming him & hope that he doesn't mind that.
Yes the spear blade in the bottom knife of pic. 4 is a bit off centre. This one'll probably be the one that sees pocket time. If I ever decide the blade is too far off, I can always try crinking it myself. That's pretty much the only flaw, & a minor one at that, I can find with these knives. Both are up at 8-10 on the pull - very heavy for my weak finger nails, but I expect an application of oil & wear will ease that. I far prefer strong springs to weak in a working knife & don't see this as a real issue.
