Classic Ruple!

Nice pair, Elliott. Takes the pot, as that Redbone isn't in my hand!;)
 
I'd call it a draw, Charlie. I think any Ruple is equal to "comin' up aces"! ;)

I remember that one well, Rob. That was a nice pickup!
 
Lookit the fit of that Humble Barlow Pattern, wouldja!!!
It borders on Regal!! Nice one Rob, fer sher!!
 
Oooh, nice barlow! I don't think I've ever seen one of his before -- very nicely done spear point blade there. However, I much prefer single bladed barlows - then it would be nearly perfect.
 
Ooh...now that is one pretty barlow. The bone contrasts nicely with that fancy bolster. And that long pull...mmm...
 
In your humble opinion, that is. ;)

Of course -- if I can just find where I left that box of humble I'll get some. I hardly ever use it these days. :p If it was single bladed and *mine* it would be perfect. :thumbup:
 
All are just beautiful but that sowbelly is something else:thumbup:!

Well, Peter, since you are obviously a man of discriminating taste, these two extra images are for you:

I like that last line... While I appreciate the time and talent to do nice file work, IMHO simplicity speaks volumes

Anyone fond of the Case 6347 will like this round-bolstered model Bill made for a fellow Texan, which is modeled on said Case knife. Captured it nicely IMO!
