Thanks for the comparisons and pics. I didn't know that the second run of Red Trouts had half stops either. I haven't made up my mind on half-stops. I used to be an advocate, but I think I'm changing my mind. Certainly not a deal breaker. I've signed up for the newsletter. I'm not in a hurry, but I'm sure I'll be buying one of these eventually. Right now I'm content to live vicariously :)

AnW AnW nailed it. This is exactly how I got mine. Signed up for the newsletter. Followed along here. Recieved notification of in stock items. Linked straight to his website from the email "see what's in store" and made my purchase. Easy peasy :)

Same for me. I checked out his website after seeing that it went live here. I had intended to wait to get one until later, but when I saw the ironwood, I couldn't help myself.
 
Eric, you've been posting invaluable info for us Schrade collectors for many years. I wish you much success with your nominate line of knives. The pinned shields are a functional and nostalgic touch. The fit and finish looks great.

I subscribed to your newsletter and would very much like to own any ivory handled knife you created. Hopefully that can happen somewhere down the line.
 
Wow. I missed this thread starting.

I have to say, beautiful knives posted here, and best wishes to Eric - you're doing wonderful work.

I've been able to find the closed length, but unless I've missed it I can't find blade length. Can anyone give me an idea what the blade length is, bolster to tip?
 
Hey folks! Thanks for the kind words! Quick rundown on some of these questions:

These knives are a brand new design, there's no relationship between them and the Red Trouts or Canal Streets except for the length.

Blade length from tip of bolster should fall between 2 9/16" and 2 5/8". You'll see some slight variation due to individual blade finishing.

My knife came dull and I am struggling to put any kind of edge on it with my Spyderco CBN rods. It's like I can't get the steel to form an apex for some reason. Of course, being terrible at sharpening doesn't help.

Any advice before I take my Worksharp to it?
 
Thought it might be time to bring this thread up with a pic of the family. :)

They called it Basket Weave Jigging. I think there were two of them made. It's really quite intricate, I can only imagine how much effort went into doing it. Besides being very cool looking (IMHO) it's super grippy as well.

I know we are not supposed to have favorite family members,:rolleyes:, but what is your fav out of that fine lot?;)

I’d have a hard time picking the best looking one for sure, but the jigged bone was from the first run. So yeah - that one. :D
 
You and me both. I signed up for the newsletter in the hope that I can score one of his knives before they are sold out. You may want to consider signing up for his news letter too.

So @waverave loaned me his Ironwood from this first run. It's extremely beautiful!
I have a question: Are these shields pinned? I couldn't see any pin showing through in the liner. I did mention in the video that it could be pinned some way I'm unfamiliar with, but I definitely didn't see any pin through the liner.
