I finally broke down and picked out a Ray Cover knife to carry
When Ray came out with this pattern at my request a couple of years back, one thing or another always kept me from carrying one...the first ones I got were in black pearl and then Ivory and I wanted one in Bone to carry....I finally got a few of these in bone and when I picked them up I told Ray that I didn't want him to sell me another knife if I didn't start carrying one. Ray just smiled and said, "I made knives for about 15 years before I started carrying one; I just never felt like I could afford to carry one until then." I'm particularly happy with the way the bone turned out on this one, it doesn't show so well, but the jigging has quite a bit of depth and texture to it. I have a couple of more patterns with this style bone that was custom dyed and jigged for another maker, but I talked them out of a few pair for Ray
This one spent a little time in the pocket today and will be in regular rotation from now on. It is 3 1/8" closed and 5 1/2" open with an ATS-34 blade
