Iron bolsters?

Did you know that your cotton shirt may contain over 20% carbon??

No Charlie I did not know that. Will it wash out?!

Add too much starch and it'll cut your wrists.

Carbon is the building block of the universe.

Apparently only in Chicago!

Enough. Back to knives.

One Blue Grass, deserves another.

There is a minor chip in the bone on the reverse. I'm unsure of whether I'll attempt a repair or just let it be. The blades are in great shape though.

I find that the steel bolstered knives with steel liners tend to have less wobble over time than the brass or nickel silver.

This looks like a modified electricians knife. The pin and bolster material don't match.

It was a factory second sold by SMKW a few years ago. It came this way with the tang stamp ground off. The blade started to rust and pit so I buffed it out and forced the patina. I was surprised to see the mixed metal set up too.
