I never knew they did a "finale" for the "Cubans"??!!
Does that mean they'll never make another?? Certainly implies that!!
But other #54s are still possible I guess - what's the difference??
So many questions!!

#15 Boys Knives SFO for KSF

 

[cbr1000]

Bottom knife is the first time Oiley Creek Bone was used. I don't recall the production volume, I think around 15. It's a 77 Northfield, but has a satin blade. It's personal preference, I think this version of Oiley Creek Bone looks better than following runs. I would like to see Northfields with satin blades every once in awhile.

#74 Heartland Clip in Antique Autumn Bone

 

[cbr1000]

Lonestar smooth white bone 48. Most of these received Damascus ship hull blades - this one is just a standard GEC blade.

Original run of Fremont Jacks, blueish greenish mammoth - has more blue tones in person. This one was posted in some of the electronic media at the time.

[Markeologist]

15s are my favorite and these maybe my four favorite 15s…three SFOs; Northwoods Lincoln Jack, Anniversary TC Barlow, and a “Soda Scout” plus a Rendezvous Beer Scout.

…and the top knife is a Charlie Campagna SFO, a Washington Jack, one of the hottest GECs on the market!
