John Lloyd Knives

[pertinux]

I was going to post a pic of my John Lloyd #6 but the server doesn't want to take it.....

The wood, "una del gato," is really nice. Looks like desert ironwood.

Is it this one, by any chance?

Had I been the one choosing and not my son, that's the one I would have grabbed! He picked exactly the right knife for him, but just look at that wood!

Those are nice. Sleeping like babies in the face of rust.

I caught me a fish! Just received this small trapper by John Lloyd with the shield engraved.

Black Gaboon JL Excuse the pic quality, it really takes away from the actual knife.

That's a neat one Oldbugr. What are the scales made of?

Clutch, John calls it a gaboon ebony, wood. Believe I spelled it right?

 

[clutchcarter]

Thanks for the reply. I researched gaboon ebony. That's some great stuff! Very dense. I like ebony a lot and gaboon seems to be the premier stuff!

Clutch, those are some beautiful trappers. I always loved the clip and wharncliffe combination.

Here is a look at a Lanny Clip John made for a friend It has CPM 154 ss blade & Westinghouse micarta. When I opened up the package & looked I thought he made a mistake & hafted it in elephant ivory. It came out beautiful.
Thanks Everyone for everything this past year & Happy New Year to all,-Vince

Here is a Gunstock frame folder by John hafted in some real nice ram horn,witch you do not see alot of times. This particular knife came out fantastic CPM 154 CM ss blade & spring
Knife was sold but I thought you all might like to see it

Vince,
thanks for showing this knife. Ram's horn is the most common handle material where I come from, although the "raw" (natural, not smooth) examples are less than the smooth ones. It's interesting to see it used in a US traditional slipjoint.
