No talk about the fixed blade on the cover?? My aging eyes can't quite make out what's on the snap for the sheath. Are they oak leaves? Looks really good.

I usually carry a traditional and a GEC, but I think all the smack talk about coated blades (which I personally don't like) and other modern knife trends, if funny coming from a group that intentionally patina their knives to make them look old and used. It's like the pre beat up hat and jeans guys vs the 5.11 tactical clothes guys.
I probably wasn't talking about you then. Just pointing out something I find funny. I love GECs traditional patterns. I have far more of them than any traditional knives. I like both though.Is this posted in the right topic??
I don't intentionally make my knives look old. Never bought the Martha Stewart kit for antiquing new knives.
Knives that are made the old way and resemble old patterns are of interest. But I don't want them pre worn.

Well the beauty of it all is that much like a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, there are rarely two alike.Everyone has varying tastes of what is appealing. I find that the most interesting aspect of our hobby. It doesn't matter to me if someone takes a brand new knife and make it look old, clean an old knife to make it look new, or just go natural. I like and find beauty in them all.
Who am I to tell someone that they ruined the look of their knife based on what they like?
No worries, Bob. Just wanted to clarify my position. Good to see you online!
Very well said. Hopefully everyone remembers that and just enjoys what they enjoy and leave the others for people who like them.Well the beauty of it all is that much like a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, there are rarely two alike.Everyone has varying tastes of what is appealing.
