I wondered when someone would catch that.;) I've made 3 other folders that were NOT stamped. 2 of those were BPs. The ones that I have stamped with numbers don't indicate the order in which they are made.

This blade/spring set was made the same time that 2 other sets were made and I stamped them 3, 4, and 5. I showed them all to a good friend of mine and let him pick which set he wanted me to use for his knife. That's why #5 got "clothed" before #3 and #4. Now don't that make sense. :D It's the folksy knifemakin way;)
 
That knife is georgeous. The antique bone is quite a treat. I bet the new owner is thrilled to be getting it. A trusted friend he'll carry the rest of his life.:thumbup:
 
Wow, what a great looking knife! Clean, clean, clean.
I really like how the half stop sits flush with the bolsters - nice detail.
