Been a while, thought I would drop in!

Well I joined the forums back in 06 and was very active back then. I still pop in from time to time but haven't really posted in some time. I was looking through some of my knives and realized that I have a few goodies to share. Lots of good memories from the old traditional forum, looking forward to making more. To kick things off I thought I would share this wharncliffe I picked up a couple of months ago. Cuts like a dream, one of my favorite blade shapes of all time.

Great looking file & wire flyfishrman Welcome back~

I've always wondered if they shape the wormgroove covers after assembly since on many of their bolsters, the 'grooving' extends out to the bolster just a touch sometimes as seen in both photos near the front bolster.

There's usually almost a bit of an imprint where it looks like they continued that groove along on these S&M's, one of my favourite touches in fact that they add..either unintentionally or consciously.

Didn't really notice that until I read your post. I agree that is a really nice touch whether it's intentional or not. Details make a huge difference!

I always liked that too. I believe the bone is jigged (grooved?) alone then the final buffing process of the finished knife creates the continuation in the bolster. The buffing wheel is allowed to cut away the edge of bolster where it is not protected.

i think i see this on my queen slim trapper as well, might just be part of their takes on finishing

Ah thank you for the info Macchina I used to be turned off by the look of wormgroove covers but they really are a nice patterning of the bone to just run your thumb across as a 'worry stone' of sorts.
