Just got this rascal in, lovely knife, was tempted by their Toothpick which has a single
blade that has a slightly different profile, I liked this better plus it has two blades.

Here are some images taken tonight of her along with her cousin, the top knife, a Half Congress, also lovely as well...

Very good walk and talk on both knives, the Half Congress has, half stops, I guess as it should,
the Powder Horn doesn't have half stops but it is a smooth pull on both blades with solid
blade in position, meaning no play what so ever when opened up full.

I took the blades to my EdgePro and they be nice and sharp now, arrived in cutting condition
but I always like to put just a bit more sharpness on my knives.

Great knives from this place, highly recommend them both,

Great looking knife Gary...They sure have a great selection of stag available for their knives!!!
 
Great knives Gary, the ones I have-are just great, it sounds to me as if you have that nasty GEC bug thats spreading through-out the land? :D
 
Gorgeous knives there, Gary! Very nice Stag and great pics too.

Love the pic of the Powderhorn with the small blade open.
 
Gary, That's a great looking knife. I had a similar style when I was younger. (Eons ago) I think it was called an Arkansas Toothpick, and probably by Imperial. Not as nice as yours though, but yours makes me think I want another one. ;)

Very Very Nice. Congrats!
 
Beautiful pieces there. And nice photo work, too. You're making my pockets itch.
 
Very nice, Gary, the GEC toothpicks (powderhorn) do feel really good in the hand.
 
Thanks guys, and yep, sharp and shape enough to almost shave the face,
here's a link to the Half Congress thread

Both knives will shave hair very easily, my wife just hates it when I do that, but, I tell her
that I have a constitutional right to bare arms ;)

Love that Powderhorn. I've been wondering how they looked with the pen blade open, thanks for posting the pic's. :cool:
 
Great looking Powderhorn Gary. The mottling of the stag appears to be equal from side to side. I prefer this pattern with 2-blades over the single bladed Toothpick. The Congress ain't half bad either.:thumbup: That little Powderhorn will ride in your pocket unnoticed.
 
It's a dandy alright, kinda wished the pen was a coping blade, took a hard look at it to see if I could
change it's profile but didn't see that happening on this blade, so it'll stay a pen blade.

Tried to get a shot of the mirror edge on the PowderHorn's main blade,
I used my EdgePro to attain that even bevel and polish,
and with the nice flat grind, the blade really slices well ;)

This picture makes me miss my edgepro. NICE edge! :)
 
Be very neat if they offered a fish scaler instead of a 2nd blade.

Nice knives Gary, an beautiful stag. Sharp looking edges, need to send you some of mine to work on HA!
