Will, I cannot stop ogling your knife. The amount of detailing deep in the jigging, and the swaths of beautiful translucent bone surrounding the jigging are mesmerising. Really superb!

Very nice of you to say so Tom:thumbsup:
Once again, my thanks to Ron - Half Stop - for his generosity in giving it to me as a present, together with some fine Stag on a Queen C knife:cool: Jackpot day that was.

It's a great single-spring large CASE Pen and the bone is a treat!

Thanks, Will
 
Thanks for the comment,Tom. However, none of my knives have ebony handles. The black handled 6299, in the first post, is what Case called "rough black" and the black handled 2231 1/2 SAB, in the second post, is what Case called "smooth black".

Case Canoe in rough black. I have a few canoes (mostly older) but I'm a sucker for the rough black handles. My only hesitancy was the knowledge that this was a double spring design. From my reading that was a big no-no compared to the earlier single spring models. My only comment is why? Without actually measuring I doubt the difference is tops a 1/16". Overall an excellent knife with two nice blades, sunken joints, good w&t and f&f. Plus, I got it at a good price.20180215_181020~2.jpg
 
2 dot Eisenhower

Reposted from here
I wanted to give the Eisenhower pattern a try so I found one on the big auction site that didn't cost me much. It is dinged-up a bit, and there were some sizeable divots on both blades (main especially). I couldn't really see them in the pictures. Although I spent time on a coarse stone getting them mostly out (I am far from an expert freehand-er) you can certainly see 'em here. At any rate, the purpose was to have decent example. The main is pretty soft on opening, with good snap on closing (what's up with that?). The pen secondary is nearly a nail breaker. I like the single-spring thinness of the knife but after carrying it for the day it will certainly not replace the mighty peanut.
