In praise of ebony: Traditional knives in the prince of wood

[556hunter]

Thanks Ryan! I hope you find one, I know you like a strong pull and some loud talk.

If you ever have a lead on one Dave, please let me know

I most certainly will Ryan. Good luck with your quest:thumbup:

Showed this one in the Whats In Your Pocket thread but it works well here as well. May have shown a few years ago but whats wrong with showing off a masterpiece!

 

[ptradeco]

These are not too bad either!

Brad, when I saw your Erickson in the EDC thread, I was thinking you really should post it here! It's nice to see the company too! :thumbup:

Hi all,
I'm looking for a recommendation for some of the beauties I've seen in this thread, but none of them have captions cause you all know them too well I want something the closest in size to a classic Victorinox; I loved the Northwoods indian river jack, but thats sold out everywhere on the web. Anyone have any other recommendations for something of that size that can slip in a pocket? Uses are whittling, cutting food, rope - just simple everyday things. Could have a clawsfoot, too...

I've been eyeing the Northwoods Presidential. It's got a spear point main blade and a wharncliffe blade for a secondary blade. It's pricey, but unless they sell out I'll get one sometime soon. I'm also still stuck on whether I want the ebony wood or jigged red bone.

Here is a photo people are probably getting sick of but here is my GEC 73 in ebony.

Yes I hope I never see it again.

Thanks Ron I must say, I do like the jet black ebony on the #72s like yours.

Works of art!

Woah! That's cool!

GEC #77 Washington Jack

That knife could almost pass for vintage.

 

[BigBiscuit]

Trand, that Washington Jack is a beauty. :thumbup:

Top Knives have been shown here, many thanks to all contributors.:thumbup: Been difficult to do much today due to dot defender's malign presence....

Here's a French Ebony about 4" shut in Sandvik. It has a pull and snap on it that would put a guillotine to shame Mechant
