John Lloyd Knives

Man, that so sweet to see Duane, I really like that knife, the job with the Ivory is just superb, a good tight knife!
Thank you for posting it up for me/us.
By the way, I love that pouch that John gave you, he's a Legend isn't he!
 
He sure is:thumbup:
This little cutter shaves armhair effortlessly, and snaps open solid with a confidence not unlike a lockback. Amazing piece of work:thumbup:

Those two steels might be close,in character,I'm not sure. But from memory,if that was one of Duncan's & from me,I do believe,W-2.

Thanks to Vince (who is evil btw.... Haha, kidding) I've picked up a number of JL's recently and they are really amazing. I think about them at night before I fall asleep.... Scary, right? I'll have to get some pics up soon.
 
Here is a stag that was posted by me pages back. Just back in NY from my cousin, down south. Now it has a splash of embellishment

No-totally normal if there is such a word in these parts lol, that amber Stag looks just beautiful, so do the the top two -beautiful grain going on in the Sea Cow( ?) bone bottom of the two.

Vince, that engraving is a very nice touch a classy subtleness!
 
to show you all on a nice Sunday evening.
This is John's rendition of an old Remington 643 pattern,a bare head version with ironwood burl scales.
This knife has CPM -154 ss blade & spring
Enjoy the eye candy

Man-oh-man, that one is gorgeous! Love the handle shape, and the blade's subtle recurve & long clip match it so well. Great work, John!
 
Folks like Duane and Duncan make the forum great, but without fine makers like John, we wouldn't have met. I didn't need another knife, but with John donating the proceeds to tornado victims in Oklahoma, I had to pick up this nice micarta swayback in 52100. John and I have similiar roots, both lived in my hometown of El Reno, both have railroad heritage, and I proudly carry one of his knives almost everyday (stag mini Lanny's). Many people around OKC are still struggling from the aftermath, a friend whose home was two blocks from complete devastation didn't have power, natural gas, or was allowed to stay in his house after dark for several days. Thanks John for your generosity and thanks to all who bought knives during John's OK sale. Thanks for the scraps too.

That´s a great looking knife, John. I really like the shape and the shield is great place on the handles. :)

Congratz on that beautiful knife.
