A combination that means quite a bit to me.

I know Kit had a lot of friends, me very much among them. Putting the knives aside, I still miss him dearly. About 8 years ago today, he slipped this lockback in my pocket. Other than a few plane trips and a very recent visit to Paul Long's shop the knife has been with me either in my briefcase or pocket since that day. It finally has a deserving "jacket". Thank you Paul.

Wonderful knife, wonderful maker, wonderful man. It couldn't have gone to a more deserving friend of Kit's or mine. He will always be dearly missed.
 
Hey Gus, is that a pocket clip? I think I'm gonna faint... :p

Nice work, Paul. (As always.)
 
Most excellent Gus! That knife deserved the proper Paul Long treatment.

Sssshhhh. :D Actually for this larger lockback the clip is exactly what I asked Paul to do. This knife/sheath combo by friends is something else beyond objects to me.
 
Both beautiful - good for you to have such friends. You must be a friend to have a friend and so I can tell you are well deserving :thumbup:
 
That is a beautiful combo. I too miss Kit very much. Thank you for sharing that.
 
On one end of the spectrum it's all about the knives and their merits. :thumbup:

On another end it has little to do with the knives, and more to do with the people. :D

You must be pretty bowlegged, Gus. You are standing FIRMLY in both arenas! :eek: One foot a little bit firmer footing, though. ;)

Good thread!

A wonderful combo Gus, unfortunately I never met Kit.

I could not think of anyone who deserves such a wonderful gift more brother. Enjoy.:)
 
Nice post, Gus, sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting Kit. But you and Paul are winners 24/7, and I'm sure Kit would have enjoyed the union. :thumbup:
 
I love this, Kit is smiling. I never met Kit, had a few conversations and he was helpful in my having owned some very nice knives.
