Micarta Monday - Traditional Knives Only, Please

[Will Power]

While our opinions maybe be olive-the-place, it is clear that the choice is up to yew.



Why not keep the muslin as liners, and then have a "bolster" of olive and the bottom of yew?

Actually I don't think that would be a lovely, but it would make use of all the materials.

I like the yew best, personally.

Made up my mind now, it's the English Yew for the Bull and Olive for another Muslin Micarta, this time on a 13 Clerk .

Roll on Wooden Wednesday Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a big Micarta fan.

Great minds....

Got EXACTLY the same pair, that's another good advert for Spears but I have to confess I took the strop to the bolsters, I like a shiner

Thanks, Will

Thanks, Will. Gotta love a good Spear! I tend to like them shiny too. I'd enjoy seeing yours.
Cheers,
Mark

Thanks John, I love the color too. The 78 is one of my favorites, every one I've handled has had consistently great action.

Those clubs and barlows are such visually appealing knives. Hard to choose between them or Boker's other single blades like the stockman, or the trapper...

I’m with you on that, probably why I can’t stop buying them, love’em all, probably too much!

The day I got it, just out of the box.

Afterwards while oiling and cleaning the joint with some mineral oil I put a drop on the scales as well and it darkened them.
I thought the oiled scales look great but now I think I like the original color better. I'll wash them one of these days. Mineral oil evaporates on its own too so we'll see.
