Thanks for looking and any comments more then welcome, bad or good

Beautiful Ken! I sure think you hit what you were shooting for. The lines of the knife, the bone, and the acorn shield really come together just right, imho. :thumbup:
 
Very Traditional and Folksy..Love the pick work and bone color. ;).. GREAT JOB!!
 
Very nice Ken, a true vintage traditional look. It reminds me of the old pocketeze Robesons...NICE

Nicely done, Ken. A very nice interpretation.
 
Ken, your knives just keep getting better and better, this one looks as if it really would walk the talk. Congrats to maker and soon to be new owner.

Great looking Jack there Ken!!
I would say that you hit that nail right on the head.
Man you sure are making it hard to pick a knife when my turn comes up. Love the jigged bone!

very knife knife, i like those swedges. also really like the shield.

the bone looks really like it could have been in someone's pocket for years already...did you age it artificially or did it just work out that way?

i wonder at the low polish on the bolsters, but it is a very nice knife.
 
Nice lookin knife. Cool idea swapping what would normally be a pen blade for a little Wharncliffe blade. Kudos!:thumbup::cool:
 
A "teardrop" is a "swell end" pattern. This "curve" seems more akin to a serpentine pattern (the more extreme of which would be a dogleg pattern).
 
That WILL be my first custom slippie. I have been eyeballing several. You know how a knife will jump out at you when you see it? This one jumped out slapped me in the face and said "get your wallet out"!!! BBEEEEAAAAUUUTiful knife! I will be speaking to you about one. Thanks for posting it.
