The yellow micarta is really bright and the shield is inlet nicely, typical scuffed bolsters. So glad I lucked into this one.

Thank you Lyle wlfryjr for sharing your love of this style of knife with Bill Howard & GEC over ten years ago. I did not anticipate that they would ever make a second batch of these John Chapman’s, but I am glad I was around to enjoy this round.

I'm not going to lie, I think GEC needs to use this micarta on their next F&F 21 or 71 run.

Gah I'm itching to use my denim 38 but I've made it a goal to wait until I have plants in the ground and actually use it to prune in the garden this year.
We'll see what it looks like at the end of the season after cutting through some tomatoes, okra and peppers.

That sounds like a good plan. Curious how it will look like. It'll be fun to use, enjoy the garden season!

It was a dream come true for my collection Travis. Hang in there with that stag and Lord willing at the Rendezvous we might do something.
