I do the exact same with my bloodwood. The jigged bone one is so nice that I baby it quite a bit more than the bloodwood. The pattern is fantastic.

I like the blood wood most out of the four offerings this round. Super simple and thin smooth in use. The English shield version is probably my least favorite but I donā€™t dislike it.
 
The first GEC I ever bought was the 38 Grinling. It didnā€™t do it for me at the time, so I traded it for my first TC Barlow. (Thanks for that Bigbiscuit! RIP).

So this one is sort of a full circle kind of thing for me. No desire to trade this time! :) Main needs a little oil, but no proud wedge here. All the ā€œwell doneā€ comments are confirmed.

Here it is with a well loved, slightly longer bladed 38 Willamette Whittler.

This is pretty amazing to me. Thereā€™s hardly any difference in thickness compared to the 2-blade, single spring Willamette! Impressive packaging of all that steel.
