This would be a dream come true, a 98 pen knife!!That would be amazing.
Do 2 versions like the 68s, a Pony Jack, or Clydesdale Jack and a White Owl/TK Cuban setup a true Jumbo Pen knife.
And then, a big Northwoods single blade!This would be a dream come true, a 98 pen knife!!
Thanks, Todd. It's getting started.Got some nice patina on there John.
I was told there actually is an elephant at the National Zoo that actually plays harmonica. Who would've thunk? Stevie Wonder plays too, so it was supposed to be a clue to Stevie. Sue just put in in the picture in the elephants trunk. It created so much confusion, she finally took it out of the picture. So in reality, it really had no relevance to the knife.With regards to the #36 now that we see the ebony and ivory, any more guesses how the harmonica fits in?
Not fond of barlows?! Those are fightin’ words around here! Just kidding congrats on the barlows.I received my 77 yellow sawcut yesterday. Nice fit and finish, excellent smooth pull and snaps. I'd call the snap on mine about a 6. Mostly black in color with yellow tips to the bolsters and on the edges. The sawcut is very light. It almost doesn't give it a texture. I kinda like that though.
Now just waiting for my cocobolo to ship. I'm not really that fond of Barlow's, but this one is growing on me.
Thanks. I said not that fond of. I like them, just not as well as some other patterns. I have several of them but this run of 77's may make me more fond of them. I go through cycles like everyone and today's dog's may be tomorrows favorites. Variety is nice.Not fond of barlows?! Those are fightin’ words around here! Just kidding congrats on the barlows.
Harmonica shield on the 36?With regards to the #36 now that we see the ebony and ivory, any more guesses how the harmonica fits in?
I said this on another forum. The elephant accidentally swallowed the harmonica and may not survive. Therefore there's a possibility the 36 may not survive and GEC may have to substitute the pattern. We'll see.With regards to the #36 now that we see the ebony and ivory, any more guesses how the harmonica fits in?
Everything works with that knife, what a unique piece of cutlery John.
