Joe Houser's 532 collection

[bald1]

Joe,

Received the jpegs! Nice stuff there

! Curious about the one on the far right... are those bolsters engraved? Looks like it but I can't be sure given the lighting. Also did you miss out on the jigged bone limited edition, or did it simply get skipped when you took the picture?

Bob,
Glad you liked the pictures. I looked at them again and the only one that is engraved on the bolsters is on the far left. That knife is one of only 5 sawby lock 532's. Notice that you can't see the midlock on it. I had Dave yellowhorse do the handles and bolster work. I have a complete set, the sawby lock 532,531,535 done with Dave's handles. The fourth one from the left is actually a one piece sterling silver overlay.
Yes, i did miss out on the jigged bone 532 but i know if i keep digging around, i will find one!
There is a story for each of them.
Take care,
