hornetguy hornetguy my blue Pemberton was a “secret” from my wife for a couple weeks. I used it around her, I was just waiting for her to notice. She got pretty mad.

The Late, Late Show due to being across the Atlantic ;) Started off with the Red Bone which arrived rapidly no fuss, its companions the DI and Camelbone got snarled up in Customs & delivery. Can't make out which I like most :) the two latest have slightly stronger pull & louder snap than the Red Jigged (no idler by the way) I asked for a light colour DI and not disappointed by the wood at all, v.hard to photograph half decently though. astounding quality of shield inlay on these patterns. Oakleaf is flush with no gaps around the shield, The Camelbone is extraordinary material, feels like polished stone :cool: thus I think this one will be the user and the other two become parade tarts:D

Who wants some shoe sized 23??:D 73 is well large enough;)

Really nice stag Harry!!!
 
Jiki Jiki one thing I’m very interested in is if the blade tips of the secondaries clash with the closed main. There is a dealer picture that has a good view of it, and it looks like you might have to open the primary to get the secondaries opened/closed.

this is actually the way I have to open/close the secondaries on my Case Seahorse Whittler. If you don’t open the primary, the secondaries literally bend around the primary.

the other question I have- it looks like the two secondaries are actually different thicknesses at the tang. Is that true?

45 minutes and I will tell you
 
As nice and consistent those pocket carvers look, it’s a knife that’s going to be even better in hand. Don’t get me wrong, I’m appreciating all the pictures and angles the retailers have put up. This one’s going to be cool, I’m excited!
 
Wow, pretty sweet. First impression this knife is very well thought out and well made.

Every blade is centered to it's own channel with no krink. There is no blade rub and you can open every blade independently of the others. That being said they are in there very compactly if you were to push in instead of pulling up when opening I'm sure you would get rub.

The main is super snappy to all three positions due to the double spring, it's very nice. Pull is probably a 6 no more. The secondary on the mark side is a 5 pile side a 4. The pile side blade is sluggish from half stop to open, however you can feel the grit in the joint so I expect that to improve to at least what the mark side is now which is nice just a little softer than the main.
All three blades cut through the grain end of a piece of bass would smooth and easy leaving none of those nasty bur lines behind. The secondaries are amazingly thin and will be extremely good detail blades. The main is what I like for a rough out blade, may need to get rid of that bevel though.
Overall great job great knife.

Could you show the springs and main blade/spring orientation. I can't picture the three blade-two spring without a wedge/splitback.
