Went to the post office this morning to pick up a parcel which had been sent my way by Ray Cover.

Ray, as many of you know, is a top notch custom maker and all around good guy whose work represents an incredible value.

I picked up four knives, two of which are being sent this afternoon to my buddies Thomason & Fewpop. The other member of our little association, Mike Robuck, will be receiving his separately and hopefully will post an image upon its arrival.

It's pouring outside today so I can only offer these inferior images taken indoors on my counter under poor lighting.

The fit and finish on all four knives is top drawer and just what the doctor ordered on this stormy Friday afternoon.

The "shadows" are all 3.5" closed with ivory micarta, red liners and D2 blade steel. The "bolstered" knife is 3 7/8" with amber bone stag and D2.
(The color of the ivory micarta is "off" in the images. The actual color is much closer to true ivory, like the creamy shade of a vintage piano key.)

The topmost knife is Ford's, the second is Rob Thomason's, and the last two are mine.

Without further ado:

I bet that was a fun package to open. Those came out very well. That micarta has a nice warm look to it.
 
Wooohooooo....oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!! I'm as excited as the dog on the bacon beggin' strips commercial.

Nice line up. Did you order them all at the same time?

I had an order in with Ray and asked if he would mind my adding a couple of knives for friends. He was kind enough to accommodate me. :cool::thumbup:
 
Of course, Elliott selfishly hoards the purty (jigged) one for himself. :p

They all look great, that smooth micarta is just fun to play with during idle time. And the jigged-bone handled one is heirloom quality. :thumbup:

thx - cpr

WOW!

Those are some nice knives!!!

Kind of like a sodbuster that's been to the beauty shop and given a face lift all in one.

I love the simple and elegant beauty of those knives.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Thanks boys and girls. The knives are great. The friendship is priceless! :thumbup::cool:

(And Chris, you know they asked for those particular knives, don'tcha? ;))
