I am liking this Smooth Ivory Bone just fine!!:D:D

Nice Ron, I'm liking mine as well...I bought both single and two blade and find the single in my pocket more which is very unlike me:o I usually favor a two blade, could just be a phase though:confused:
 
Thanks Paul, I also have both and decided to try the 2B today. I have been totin' a 1B Stag off and on several times in a slip and it carries quite well.:D
 
Funny, I typically like the single blade Barlows better, but for this run I actually like the 2b better. Also maybe a phase. I have both just in case... ;)

Ron, oddly enough I just started carrying in the slip that came from Mike...trial phase for now and will see if it sticks? Such a nice slip I deemed it worthy of a test run:cool::thumbup:

Not sure what's up with the flip flopping here Eric, but I'm likin it so far:thumbup: I'm with you when it came to buying both, one must be prepared:D
 
All I've carried now is the red sawcut 2-blade since it arrived on the 28th. You can't improve upon perfection :thumbup:

I think you will like the slip Paul. I first used one for my 77s and then my 73 . I never know what other metal that I may put in my pockets. I do not mind Patina , but I do mind Scratches and it does help some with moisture in the pockets.

My micarta 2-blade and I have been hard at work the last couple weeks, but I haven't exactly been following the rules...

Just being in my right front pocket every waking moment and using it for whatever tasks. Still have some warm days yet here in the desert so perspiration in the pocket is a big factor this time of year. I let my knives age as they will with no help or forcing things. Right now it's in that pimply-faced teenager stage of change.
 
What Harry and Mort said P&G, BEAUTIFUL:cool::thumbup:

@ Harry, I'm going to give the pocket slip some pocket time, I like it but not quite used to it yet:o Just put my Stag #73 into the extra slip that I recieved, so will carry that to work tomorrow:thumbup:
 
The bolsters are carbon steel. I believe they're cast but could easily be wrong. Based on some of the in-progress pictures I've seen, they may be forged.
