A couple of 103's for January 3rd

[DeSotoSky]

Should have thought of this earlier in the day. January is a great month for posting pictures because we can go thru many of the 100 series.
On display is a pair of custom clip point 103's. The Cherrywood knife was picked from a consignment list and the stacked leather from eBay.

I like these. Anyway you could post a side by side picture of these and a 212 model?

A day late and a dollar short.

I'm late too. This one will go to Leroy to clean up.

Just for fun, some different blade shapes. These are all old (1961-66) and have all suffered some amount of blade loss due to sharpening, but the early forged 440C blades were each somewhat unique in shape. The leather spacer one on the left has a very thick spine at 0.20". A modern one is 0.12", so that specific old one is 67% thicker than a modern one.

The 103 is my favorite knife pattern.
