This little beauty was sent to me by Vince,I can’t thank him enough for his generosity.Arrived last week and has not left my pocket since.
 
Wow, that's gorgeous! I love the depth of the bone(?) handle covers. Must really shine in person, in some natural light. Very generous, Vince! And congrats, Bonzo! :thumbup:

My poor camera skill’s do not do the buffalo horn justice.
 
I'm dying here Vince, that is a great gift. Fine looking knife and very well crafted. Congrats bonzodog.

I have quite a few knife friends outside the U.S.
It seemed every time Andy purchased a knife from me,in a day or two later I ran some kinda sale , that bonzo missed. Plus I knew he'd like it. That is John's Barlow pattern (one of 'em) with no bolsters. The buff is crazy,on it.
While we're BS-ng Lloyds here,I sent out all the knives listed on my site with fish shields ,plus a few others,for my cous to engrave,so be on the look out.

Enjoy Andy.it's my pleasure,-Vince
 
That looks great, John Lloyd makes a great knife and Vince is one of the best guys around here.
 
Well done Vince, that's really great of you, and what a lucky guy Bonzo!!....beautiful Scales on that lovely knife.
 
I am suprised that not more makers use buffalo or cow(from Brazil if possible) horn in their knives. This particular one has hints of rootbeer/gold in it that make you think of tortoise shell a bit. If you sand to about 1200 and a quick buff it is amazing stuff. I realize that some are infected by a beetle of some sort.....but with all of the horn that was used years ago I don't think any large percentage was affected. I love the stuff and I know that Ken Erickson has wondered the same thing about horn not being used much. Who knows................
 
That's simply stunning :) A great act of generosity Vince :thumbup:
