Good thread and some awesome knives!
Just keep it to our forum definition of traditional, please.

And

Holy moly, Â! I'm almost speechless!

Here's one from Rock Creek Knives. My poor image doesn't begin to capture the fire in the handles. This one is a lock back.

 

[mrknife]

Holy moly, Â! I'm almost speechless!

Agreed, that is stunning work!

Great idea for a thread, Charlie. I love that Erickson and the engraved Black Jacks. Many years ago I asked Bailey Bradshaw to copy a Henckels pattern for me, then I sent it back for him to engrave. I didn't keep it because it reminded me more of a Buck than the Henckels. I kinda wish I had kept it now that he is no longer making knives.

Here's the pattern I had sent him but a different knife with factory embellishment.

I like playing euchre but am not a gambler so my nod would go to the 2nd knife in your pic. Who am I kidding, both are strikingly beautiful, A.

Schrade-Kious Reverse Congress with some nice filework on the spring and blade spines, as well as the dovetailed and rat tailed/lined bolsters.

Here's an unusual bit of filework! The spring and blade stand proud of the handle, with a rope-like pattern!
Nice 4 1/4" Trapper by Bill Ruple! Amber Stag and comfortable in the hand! When folded it has a semi-sunk joint!! It's the only one like it I have ever seen!

File-worked 858OT from the early 1980s.

Nice, Jeff!
Is that horn for making music??
